MONTPELIER, Vt. — Hundreds of people across New England are drawing attention to what they see as a link between extreme weather events and climate change.
Dozens of rallies and demonstrations were held Saturday in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts as part of Climate Impacts Day, a global initiative organized by 350.org, an environmental group founded by Vermont activist Bill McKibben.
The theme of the rallies was to “connect the dots” between extreme weather and climate change.
McKibben took part in a rally in Waitsfield, Vt., to connect last year’s flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Irene to climate change.
Organizers say the effort featured more than 1,000 events held in more than 100 countries.
It’s also a pseudo-Mexican holiday.
I believe in climate change. The climate changes
daily and that has happened since the beginning of time.
There is a difference between worldwide climate and the weather in your own backyard…
Spoken like someone who doesn’t have the slightest clue what he’s talking about.
Weather is what goes on day to day. Climate refers to the long-term patterns of weather over decades, centuries and millennia. Climate fluctuates over time, but the dramatic increase in temperature and abnormal weather patterns during the past century corresponds directly to the increase in atmospheric carbon cause by human activity.
Nope the waether changes daily (unless we have a backdoor front that stalls). You confuse climate with weather. You also don’t acknowledge rates of change in climate which are far more rapid now than before.
Enough about burning Fossil fuels make climate change . We do not even know 100% that OIL is a fossil fuel.
Huh?
Oil may not even be a fossil fuel . We know for a fact abiotic methane is on titan . And other places not on earth. We have found oil 23,000 feet deep . i do not think dinosaurs lived that deep.
“Hundreds of people across New England are drawing attention to what they see as a link between extreme weather events and climate change.”
No, they’re drawing attention to what SCIENTISTS are certain is a link between extreme weather events and climate change. This isn’t just a hypothesis, it’s a demonstrably real phenomenon.
