Do read all the science before jumping up and down and going on about no global warming.

It isn't global warming that is being talked about now. It's climate change. And that change is related to an increased amount of energy in the atmosphere. Which means that more moisture is drawn up into the air, which is also becoming much more active. Warm moist air moving northwards and meeting cold Arctic air moving south is going to cause dumping of that moisture as snow.

Places are going to have more extreme winter weather. And more extreme summer weather. And, basically, more weather.

Those of us who depend on the North Atlantic currents for warmth are going to meet problems. That's you on the Eastern Seaboard on the west of the Atlantic, and us on the east of the ocean. We're going to get more like Canada.
