Global warming wreaking havoc

I've said it 100 times, I'll say it again: Global warming is a misnomer. A correct term would be climate change, as it's not always warm. Why people discount reality because of a name is beyond me.

dammit choop.

Sadly it seems that way.

That's too much copypasta for one day.

actually, we havent had global warming for about a decade, since 1998, 2005 was pretty warm too, but with the exception of that year, global temperatures have actually been going down.

you want references?

i read it.

i dont recall drawing any conclusions on from the info, and just because global warming/cooling may be used entirely out of context sometimes, does not mean it isnt a real issue with its own considerations when properly understood.

merely remarking on the fact that the globe hasnt been getting warmer, lately, its been getting cooler. since when is pointing to a fact face palm worthy?

?

would you prefer i say it as "the current global climate change is on a cooling trend"

like thats not the exact same thing.

I sense a massive amount of "If your sense of humor isn't in line with mine, you aren't as good as me" in this thread.

You act as if it's confined to just this thread

Anyway, hasn't it been proven (or at least strongly supported) that we're just in a different part of the earth's climate change cycle and our actions likely had no great effect on the temperature changes? I remember seeing some people on Glenn Beck or something a while ago talking about all the evidence supporting that idea rather than the whole global warming thing. In any case, it seems like things are changing regardless of what we do and there isn't much we can do about it so I don't see why everybody makes such a big deal about it. Buy a nice jacket/air conditioner (depending on which way it shifts) and man up.
