Climate change is real — Stop beating up straw men

By Dr. Jay Lehr and Terigi Ciccone

We don’t know anyone who thinks the climate doesn’t change.  To think otherwise is a joke.   At its worst, it‘s a setup for a confrontation.  For example, we might respond by asking, “by climate change, do you mean a change that could impact our children or grandchildren years from now, or are you asking if it may be a rainy April this year?” Most people know that there were ice ages and wooly mammoths in the past, and if they saw the movie “The Grapes of Wrath,” they also know how hot it was in the 1930s.   Now, having reframed the question, let‘s address it first in historical terms and then draw some inference for what‘s ahead for us.

Figure 1 shows both weather and climate are always changing. There are many complex causes of these changes. Some are very dramatic while others not so much. Let’s divide these causes of climate change into five distinct groups.

The first group is related to the planet’s planetary orbit around the sun, and we all know this takes about a year. We know that when the sun is shining brightly in July’s northern hemisphere, we feel warm. But in winters, when the same sun is shining equally bright, it doesn‘t feel as warm. So, we might ask, what‘s causing the difference?

We didn't cause the ICE-AGE.  We weren't around.  I call it Spring, summer, fall, winter.  Weather.  We are on a LIVING PLANET.
GLOBAL WARMING is a myth.  Climate change, yes.  SPRING, SUMMER, FALL, WINTER.
