Every Wednesday the Times runs articles in the Science section discussing readers’ questions. On Tuesday the paper ran one called “Snow Job.” It was headlined, “Climate change is not real because there’s snow in my back yard.”
Here’s the response: “This claim mixes up climate and weather. If you really want to know what is going on with climate change, look at the long-term averages over large areas. Do not be fooled by short-term weather fluctuations.”
A U.S. Senator, Tom Colburn of Oklahoma, made a snowball in front of the Capitol, and then used it as evidence that climate change was a myth.
OK, he is from Oklahoma, but this is way beyond stupid.
