Humans are frogs in hot water of climate change, research says

 (CNN)The extreme weather that comes with climate change is becoming the new normal, so normal that people aren't talking about it as much -- and that could make them less motivated to take steps to fight global warming, according to new research.

Researchers analyzed more than 2 billion social media posts between 2014 and 2016. What they found was that, when temperatures were unusual for a particular time of year, people would comment on it at first. But if the temperature trend continued and there were unusual temperatures again at that time the following year, people stopped commenting as much.

The authors of the study, published in Monday's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, believe that this is a sign that because of memory limitations and their own expectations and biases, humans may not be the best judges of temperature change. The experience of weather in recent years, rather than over longer historical periods, determines the baseline that people use to evaluate the current weather.

Riiiiight. Don't believe your lying eyes... Listen to the scientists... And the drama queens.

ROTFLMAO!!!

Hot damn, then. Scientific research from
facebook posts.

Do you suppose these "scientists" are at all familiar with the concept of observation bias?

Insanity.

Perzackly!

I believe it was about twenty years ago when many of the "experts" predicted no more snow and cold by 2020. The other day I read an article on Powerline by John Hinderaker where he cited some nut in Duluth  ten years ago predicting that  there would be no more snow and cold in the northern states by 2020. I wonder what the "expert" is saying now?
When the topic of record snow and cold in many parts of the northern U.S. is brought up,  some warmists seriously say that it's because the cold weather from the arctic is being forced out by warmer air from south of the arctic.
When you tell them the "experts" were predicting no more cold ANYWHERE!!! by this time, they change the subject. According to the "experts" the Arctic should be prime beachfront property now or getting there.

Before the internet got popular, I never really heard about extreme weather in other parts of the country.

We should tax the internet, while there's still time.  It's for the children.

 I remember that. Back in the late 80s the prediction was by the year 2000 the only place you’ll be able to see snow will be maybe northern Canada. The last several winters up here have been pretty snowy and cold. Of course now, that’s all because of global warming.

During the late 90s or early 2000’s,  a local weatherman out of Duluth questioned it and the station was bombarded with people calling or sending letters demanding that he be  removed from the air

'frogs in hot water ' is a myth so is Anthropogenic climate change.
