If There Really Is Global Warming - Then Why The Long Winter?

That's the question you're hearing from FOX News, and now represents the thinking of 23% of Americans:
"The most recent national Climate Change in the American Mind survey found that 1 in 4 Americans think that global warming is not happening, and half say they are "worried" about it."
This has mostly arisen because journalists, deniers, and politicians have selectively chosen climate data and used it as proof that the earth is cooling down, it's part of a natural cycle, or that the subject is still up for debate.

But when we look at the big picture, and factor in all the data, Man-Made Global Warming is a fact. It's no longer a point of contention among the enlightened.

We no longer believe the world is flat - although I'm sure you could find a few out there that would defend that position. Now we should no longer give any credibility to Global Warming Deniers .

Note that I use that term Global Warming on purpose. I've learned from Hyperobjects that using Climate Change to describe Global Warming is like using "change of living conditions" instead of "Holocaust". The complete, correct term would be "Climate Change caused by Global Warming".
