Wait - you’re claiming that the “global warming can cause more extreme weather” argument is refuted by evidence of more extreme weather?
Keep up the good work, man - you’re really making the climate change deniers look like utter morons.

I heard in Iowa they are sick of the global warming.
At least three Iowa cities broke or matched 115 year old weather records this morning. National Weather Service Meteorologist Jim Lee says it was especially cold over the eastern half of the state. The Quad Cities, Waterloo, and Cedar Rapids set or tied record lows for this date. Waterloo hit 24 below zero, Moline 22 below and Cedar Rapids 21 below.
Those temperatures haven’t been recorded at this time of year since one of the most spectacular cold waves to strike Iowa and much of the rest of the country back in 1899

Why don’t you find a preschooler in Iowa to explain climate change to you.

I’m quite aware of how apoplectic some people become when they read something like the above.

What do you expect, when you demonstrate ignorance on a board devoted to fighting it? Of course people become apoplectic. You might as well join the hollow-earth guy or the anti-vaxxers or the race realists if that’s your aim.

But, but, he’s _totally_ [a scientist](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=17138841&postcount=754), you guys!!
Just don’t ask him what sort. He clams right up. Hey, maybe he’s a malacologist!

Perhaps a proctologist specializing in data extraction?

Warmers are so polite, such nice people. No wonder they want to run the world.

I think I found our missing energy … next winter’s El Nino is forecast to be a BIG one.

Sure, I’ll stake three cats that this time next year, the news will be full of stories about drought in Australia and wave damage in California.

Shut the fuck up, troll. Polite is the default, abuse is for the proven troll.

He practices SCIENCE! I can’t decide if he went to Thomas Dolby University, or if Sally Struthers signed his certificate of degree in SCIENCE!
