Ha! Isn't this a funny global warming joke?

Just to clear up any misguided cynicism on global warming—just because we still experience snow and cold weather every once and awhile, doesn’t mean climate change isn’t occurring. Incremental increases in temperature raise ocean surface temperatures. This in turn causes unstable weather patterns and glacial melting. This in turn causes disasters like increases in large storm systems (i.e. Katrina and the Indonesian Tsunami) and the droughts that fuel massive wild fires. This in turn begins to misplace millions of humans around the world due to lack of water, raising water levels and storm devastated mainlands. These changes will be gradual and won’t deliver the Star Wars effects that are required to actually make policy, but I can safely say, when global warming’s effects are finally causing people to stomp around demanding accountability for the failure to act when it was necessary, it’ll be too late.

So,while it’s entertaining to watch the cynics thumbing their noses at the problem, it’s actually really sad to see them simplify a problem by watching the snow fall in their back yard.
