Severe weather --- how is your area ? Global warming or bad luck?
Let's start calling it Climate Change, because its far more than a few degrees of increased temperature. We're looking at not only longer summers and shorter winters, but warmer summers and less cold winters. We're looking at slight changes in ocean currents that produce profound effects. 10,000 years ago there were few people...today there are 6 or more billion...many living near coastal areas. Rising sea levels aren't simply the result of melting ice, seas rise because warm water expands...and it dosen't take more than a fraction of a degree to expand a hell of a lot of water. All of this produces a feedback loop that increases the effect. The physics are complicated, the results are simple....nature bats last!
