The term "climate change" does more accurately reflect reality, though, which -- as you say -- means not just future warming, but wilder and weirder weather of all kinds. Thanks for the input!

The real effects of a CO_2 increase include warming in some places, cooling in other places, more moisture in some places, less moisture in other places -- and things generally being extreme and screwed up. Cold-blooded animals, such as Iguanas and Frogs, seem to be the "canary in the coal mine" for many environmental problems. @Shirley, these days they call it “Climate Change” instead of “Global Warming.” The real effects of a CO_2 increase include warming in some places, cooling in other places, more moisture in some places, less moisture in other places — and things generally being extreme and screwed up.

Despite the cold snap, though, this winter in Florida has definitely been -- overall -- milder than usual (for any global warming deniers who might use the iguanas as a defense!). We were consistently in the 70s (about 25 degrees Centigrade for you non-Yanks) until New Year's. Hi Black Wallaby,

Weird stuff indeed. Despite the cold snap, though, this winter in Florida has definitely been — overall — milder than usual (for any global warming deniers who might use the iguanas as a defense!). We were consistently in the 70s (about 25 degrees Centigrade for you non-Yanks) until New Year’s.

Never seen anything like it....me from Australia Hi Shirley,
