Local explorer Will Steger was on WCCO talking about Global Warming and his experience in Copenhagen. He explains that "weather" is different than the "climate".
He then explains how global warming will give us "more snow, heavy snows, and light snows". So basically no matter what happens he can say that global warming caused it.
Will Steger has been to both the North Pole and the South Pole, I wonder if that makes him bi-polar?
About four years ago Will led a team of explorers, trying to get to the north pole and to document evidence of Global Warming. They didn't get farther than Hudson Bay, however. It turned out many of the team members had succumbed to serious frost bite. Will hasn't done much since, other than give lectures at coffee houses in Duluth. I'm sure he speaks often about his adventure north to find global warming and only discovering Jack ****..er...Frost!
See, climate is a long term thing while weather is just a short term situation that can be unpredictable.
For example, if you have a bitterly cold winter that's spread across the entire Northern Hemisphere, that's just weather. Even if it happens for a few winters in a row it's still just weather.
On the other hand, if you have a long term situation like the summer of 2004 where the US was hit by a bunch of hurricanes, that's climate change. That happened over the span on months.
See the difference?
Another difference is when we have a wet spring or summer. That's just a random weather pattern. It's totally different than a drought that might last a spring or summer because that's climate. We should also note that flooding can sometimes be caused by Global Warming if the flooding is causing problems.
Another thing is tornados. Have one today but not yesterday? That's climate change.
They call it Global Warming in the summer and Climate Change in the winter.
