The problem is the climate does change regardless of what the dominate lifeform says, votes, or thinks. But we've allowed these basic concepts to become weaponized political dribble rather than common sense. In 1987 your parents might have had a white christmas in Texas, but if 1988 didn't see any snow, was that global warming, climate change or just normal crazy weather variations? Even seasonal variations of ocean temperature that seemed well understood decades ago are now 100% global warming doom rather than El Nino. But I always ask the same question.....don't tell me what temps might do. Tell me what the correct temps are supposed to be? Its like asking what the price of milk, cars, gas, homes, cheeseburgers, or cement is supposed to be. The answer is always the same....different.
For example, Dinosaurs would consider todays climate chilly and bone dry compared to what they saw. They'd also consider our air more like something from the top of Everest, as our O2 levels are maybe half what they used to be. So Jurassic Park might be more "choking animals laying around helpless" than critters running 60 mph to eat you. Ditto for european medieval farmers. They would probably complain about the cooler, wetter summers modern day UK has rather than the warmer summers they used to feed their county into prosperity. Maybe the Anasazi would like to talk about how its not as wet in Colorado as it was when they were hanging out? Or Wyatt Earp could tell us how Arizona was a little greener when he was blasting his shotgun at Curly Bill Brocius? The climate absolutly does change just as we see winter turn to summer every year. But what we cannot do is allow any political party to proclaim ownership of weather as that is preposterous.
