You're behind the times. It's called "climate change" now. You know, because of all the data that showed things weren't trending quite the way their flawed models predicted.
English
-
No, the name has changed because people equated global warming with just constant increasing temperature. In reality, the earth is in fact as a whole warming, as models predicted, but this comes with much variation in weather patterns. Scientists didn't want people thinking the false assumption that terrible winter storms with record lows=global warming is a myth
-
Not at all as models predicted.
-
And also, more importantly, is the fact that the models failing to predict something doesn't mean that climate change isn't real, but that our ability to accurately predict its future impacts is not as accurate as it could be. The basic science has a massive amount of data behind it, but there are so many factors that can influence climate change that it becomes incredibly difficult to accurately predict what will happen. As an example, what happens if nations start taking action to combat climate change due to the dire predictions of one model? Well, then that model doesn't work as well, because conditions have changed beyond what was predicted

Which models?

Tyra Banks Heidi Klum Victoria Beckham Plenty more I don't have time to list.
-
Oh, I get it
-
What you're saying is that I should litter my cigarette buds because it won't affect our climate, correct?
-
It won't affect the climate, no. It just looks trashy and ruins the beauty of nature for no good reason.
-
So does cities buried underwater because of melting ice caps.
-
So as long as it's in an urban area and away from nature I'm good then
-
Better but still trashy. Besides the wind will eventually blow it out is the city.
-
Or tear it to shreds and disperse it over a large scale area
-
Lol! Wind that strong only exists in West Texas.
-
I live and work in an area in southern California known for it's high winds (the major cause of the fires we get). Which is why I would never flick a cigarette :P

Have you been to The Windy City?
