Climate Change - "global warming" is the wrong description I think

In my area, Northern Ontario - we have had very wet and cooler summers for the last 3 years.

I have lived in this area for almost 30 years

This kind of weather is very unusual - destroys crops and gardens - ergo FOOD.

I am curious to see if and what other DUers have noticed a change in their weather/environment.

Heck, (a good thing maybe) I noticed less bugs(ya know, them biting ones) this year.

But then again, I noticed less birds _ they live on bugs don't they?

Your thoughts/observations?

1. egg -- chicken --

at this time in the planets history -- global warming is what's causing climate change.

but whatever you like.

2. The SF Bay Area has been mostly cooler in the Summer

for at least the last 2 years, but then we've also had incredible fluctuations of weather from the 90 and 100s to the 50s in a single week. One day it can be up in the 80s and the next it's in the 60s.

But the Bay Area has always had its own micro-climates where the differences vary quite a lot even at the same time.

It just seems like it's cooler than normal with some real scorchers thrown in here and there.

3. It's the coldest July on record in Chicago.

Farmers had a hard time getting their crops in this spring because of so much rain. Crops are smaller than usual for this time of year.

4. Global warming is correct because the planet is getting warmer; however

it is also disrupting normal weather patterns, hence some areas are cooler...a good example is what Fox and other idiots bring up...part of Antarctica is getting cooler...yes, a small area is, but over all antarctica is showing warmer temperatures.

5. Personally I am enjoying all the cool comfortable weather

that global warming is causing!

6. Obliviously - you won't enjoy the lack of fresh food in the markets an higher prices

I guess there may be some truth in the phrase

"Ignorance is Bliss"

but it don't work for me . .

7. Is it global? Yes. Is it warming? Yes.

Global fucking warming.
