Global Climate Change & Reality

I'm amazed at the Beck/Limbaugh conservative types who want to propose that global climate change is a farce. I think they hide under the mantle of global "warming" which is clearly not the case everywhere. But look around the country at the WEIRD weather patterns that are almost everywhere.

While Michigan was having a virtually snowless year, I had clients in the Dallas area get 6" of snow several times this Winter. The Wasatch Range in Utah got 6' of snow (yes, that's FEET) in the first two weeks of April this Spring. Fast forward to the Michigan Summer and the odd weather. Hex hatches in Northern MI rivers at Memorial Day? That's a month ahead of normal. Spring steelhead season was over before it even arrived due to the fact the Winter vanished virtually overnight. Let's not even talk about Michigan's ski season this year. Yet the previous two years were ridiculously good.

So, look around you -- I think you'd have to be insane to argue that global climate change is occurring.
