AP touts new poll: ‘Most Americans who experienced severe winter weather see climate change at work’ – ‘Bitter cold — bore all the hallmarks of climate change’

“It’s counterintuitive to think, ‘Oh, gee, it’s really cold. That probably has something to do with global warming,’” said Liane Golightly-Kissner, of Delaware, Ohio, north of Columbus, who believes climate change is influencing many weather extremes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Matt Ries has lived in Florida only three years, but everyone told him last summer was unusually hot. That was followed by three hurricanes in close succession. Then temperatures dropped below freezing for days this winter, and snow blanketed part of the state.

To Ries, 29, an Ohio native now in Tampa, the extreme weather — including the bitter cold — bore all the hallmarks of climate change.

“To me it’s just kind of obvious,” said Ries, a project manager for an environmental company and self-described conservative-leaning independent. “Things are changing pretty drastically; just extreme weather all across the country and the world. … I do think humans are speeding up that process.”

About 8 in 10 U.S. adults say they have experienced some kind of extreme weather in recent years, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, with about half saying they’ve been personally affected by severe cold weather or severe winter storms.

Does this person have the same excellent background in science as that of Greta Thunberg?

Sometimes you have to remind yourself that half of the population has an IQ under 100.

I have seen the climate change at work.
I see it at home, too.

Some years it is warmer, others not so much.

Weather is not stagnant.  Is is constantly changing.  It means nothing, and the clowns pushing this nonsense have been singing this tune for over 50 years.  It's an ice age, no it's climate warning.  It's the stupid weather, and it means nothing.

When I lived in Florida in the 70s, it snowed.  I was shocked then, but I did not subscribe to the world falling into an ice age.

I have never heard a single scientist explain why he/she believe we have climate warming.  But I did listen to a very credible scientist explain how of the 32 models that exist on climate, only one was calculated correctly, without false assumptions in their equations.  He went on for about an hour, and I believe his assessment was dead on accurate. 

In the last couple years, I have gone to all the beaches I enjoy, and I see no change in the shoreline.  NONE!! 

And the scientist that was credible, indicated that yes water will rise over the next 80 years, about one tenth of one inch.  He said that change is insignificant, and does not warrant the idiocy going on right now.

Yes, Climate Change is real, its natural, and it's beyond Man's ability to crontrol.  We are passengers on this great blue marble, not its masters.

Government resources should be directed towards mitigation of, and resilience, to flooding, drought, extreme heat, extreme cold, and disease.

De-carbonization is commie nonsense.  A war against the element that contributes to organic matter and life on Earth is dumb.

Historically, Climate Change has been a driver of evoultion - causing dominant species to perish, and new species to rise.
