Less snow in December from when I was a kid but SW Ontario doesn't seem to get to much extreme weather. The Great Lakes regulates our climate quite well. We have the four seasons but nothing too extreme.

I remember Ontario weather well from years in Ottawa.

I saw that Buffalo has set a record for going the furthest into the season without any snow.

Here, a half-days drive from Buffalo, we're experiencing record highs for mid-December.

Yeah, it's El Niño, but this is warm even by El Niño standards.

I have no idea how climate change is affecting my area. We've had no extreme weather. Everything seems rather unremarkable.

When did unseasonable weather become extreme?

When did unseasonable weather become extreme?

When it started causing droughts.

What possible reason do you have to post in the thread, then?

 

[miles]

When it started causing droughts.

Exactly when was that?

Exactly when was that?

When The Onion started reporting on it.

I thought I'd point out how ridiculous it would be for someone to blame local weather conditions on climate change, for one thing. I also thought it worth noting a complete lack of extreme weather in my particular area.

We have mosquitoes here in New York City in December. No "global warming" or anything like that, no sir.

No mosquitos here, but what I do have are moths and its creepy, they stick to the outside of the screen door-drawn by the light from the window in the inside door I guess and when I open it there's dozens of them, its like a Hitchcock movie

climate change affects local weather conditions, globally.

Wow. That's deep. Wrong, But deep.

So whatever the weather condition in your area at present, it's due to climate change?

That would depend on the area she is in, ya dolt.

 

[toubab]

And perhaps you can explain what the hell you mean by that?

He means she is a fellow progressive therefore he has to stand behind her even if she is a moron.

In other words you couldn't find any factual information to prove your asinine statement.

Strange that this time last year Texas was suffering from years of drought that had everyone pushing the climate-change panic button, yet this time this year that drought has magically disappeared - totally.

That's some bitchin "climate-change" right there.

Right. No one is talking about how severe the drought is in the west.

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/...ught-accelerating-in-2015-20151001-story.html

"In recent months, two of the most destructive wildfires in state history have raged across Northern California. According to federal statistics, a total of 813,163 acres have burned across the state this calendar year."

"The 2015 water year also saw the highest average temperature in 120 years of record-keeping. According to the California Climate Tracker, the state's average temperature was 58.4 degrees — more than three degrees warmer than average and almost a full degree warmer than the previous high in 1995-96."

We're having a warm December. I'm in favor!

I asked for factual information, not an article from a left wing rag.

Now get busy.

He's talking about the California drought.
The L.A. Times is in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is in California.

And to quote some douche bag -- "Attacking the source is not acceptable".

Right, Zippy?
