Looking at the weather of the last three years, it's impossible to get away from the signals unless you really do have your face staring at the inside of your colon. Supposedly sober-minded people often warn that climate "alarmists" see global warming everywhere, that it's their favorite explanation for every inconvenient meteorological phenomenon. I see this as a cop-out in talking about the drastic, uncompromising nature of the change we're about to experience. We've been told for thirty years, "This is what's going to happen to the weather, the temperature, the planet, if we keep pouring greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere." And now that all of those consequences are manifesting themselves on a faster, harsher timescale than those predictions it's not much more difficult than understanding that "2" will be the end result of adding "1" to itself.
