I understand the facts of global warming perfectly well. The truth is, though, that people live locally, not globally. I see my weather, not the weather of the entire planet. And what I see isn’t warmer: it’s colder.

I don’t want to get into a debate over whether human-generated global warming is “real”, a statistical anomaly, or a purely natural cyclical occurrence that we don’t understand very well. Certainly there have been times in the past when the ice sheets were thinner, and times when they were thicker, and industrialized humans weren’t around during those changes. There is no doubt in my mind that something is going on, and that humanity’s current consumptive/wasteful mode is not helping the situation at all. ‘Nuff said.

On the plus side: it stopped snowing 🙂
