GLOBAL WARMING BLAMED AGAIN!

Anyone would think, reading this article that some people wanted to blame all extreme weather on global warming/climate change. Even though scientists have already stated that the recent floods were not caused by global warming, some will not accept that. Such tactics are back-firing as they only lead to cynicism.

The Governor of South Carolina has jumped on the bandwagon in trying to blame "global warming" for every uncomfortable quirk of the weather, but this report has looked at the history of the area's climate and found: "South Carolina’s climate shows no statistically significant trend in statewide average annual temperature, or precipitation, or in the frequency and/or severity of droughts — an indication that “global warming” is anything but “global” and also strong evidence that local and regional processes are more important than global ones in determining local climate."

When will politicians wake up and look at the facts instead of following the hype?
