My dependable environmental science guru friends remind me that we're not talking about global warming now. It's all about climate change. I was reminded this weekend when the Northeast US became disabled with early and unwelcome whiteouts and blackouts. Gas emissions and other toxic patterns will cause unpredictable perturbations across all scales and climate possibilities. The key here is the unpredictability and the exaggeration of patterns like droughts, floods, hurricanes, and unseasonably warm and cold weather patterns. One of my favorite questions to people who doubt the credibility of the science: Do you have more data, and if so, where are publishing it?
