Polar amplification turned into Arctic amplification after it became clear that Antarctica was gaining sea ice.
Global warming turned into climate change, after it became obvious that the globe isn’t warming any more.
Question authority turned into blind faith after Obama became president.
Colleges which have divested their fossil fuel investments should take it one step further. They need to stop purchasing any fossil fuels, products made from fossil fuels, or any products made using equipment that was made using fossil fuels.
If they did this for one month next winter, they could quickly end global warming stupidity on college campuses, and provide their students with a less useless education.
Woe be unto thee, ye disbelievers of the anointed climate models.
97% of scientists have faith that climate models are accurate out to the year 2100 and beyond. Ye of little faith shall be punished.

If cardiologists had a success rate of zero, they would be just as good as climate scientists.
IOWA CITY — Educate. Advocate. Agitate.
That isn’t the official slogan for 100 Grannies, but in the year that’s passed since women of a certain age joined together for the benefit of the climate, they say they’ve done all three.
“I think people are impressed we’ve been able to do what we’ve done in a year,” said Barbara Schlachter, the group’s founder.
This includes forming the group, educating children and their parents about the impact of global warming during the Iowa City Arts Festival, attending protest rallies both locally and nationally — even if it meant getting arrested — and launching a local movement to ban single-use plastic bags in Iowa City.
100 Grannies began after Schlachter spent a weekend with her grandchildren and read a book about climate change. The combination of the two ignited concerns about the environment the next generation will inherit.
“Climate change is happening faster than ever,” Schlachter says. “Carbon dioxide levels have passed 390 parts per million in our atmosphere — this is the highest level in human history.”
Eliminating the use of fossil fuels would slow down this acceleration, which is why 100 Grannies support environmental initiatives dedicated to this mission, such as the plastic bag ban.
Eliminating the use of fossil fuels would have frozen countless people in Iowa this winter.

NOAA issued the three-month U.S. Spring Outlook today, stating that odds favor above-average temperatures across much of the continental United States, including drought-stricken areas of Texas, the Southwest and the Great Plains. Spring promises little drought relief for most of these areas, as well as Florida, with below- average spring precipitation favored there.
NOAA predicts mixed bag of drought, flooding and warm weather for spring
Spring temperatures have been the coldest in almost a century, and most of the US has been drenched with rain.
