  Confusion About Global Warming

  Global warming is one of the most misunderstood terms in use today, for instance in the middle of a very cold winter, people wonder where is the warming trend. What they fail to realize is that that weather and climate are not equivalent, every single event does not necessarily point to climate change, it is the whole overall picture and not individual events that point to global warming. Individual weather events, from heatwaves to big freezes, cannot be used either to prove or disprove climate change and scientists have done a poor job of explaining this. Here is a recent article illustrating this fact.
