I've not heard that either. I HAVE heard that it would get us all eventually and that 10 (or 20 or 50) years from now it might get past the "critical threshold" that is essentially the point of no return.
They've also reported the tremendous reduction in arctic and antarctic ice buildups, threatening polar bears and some other cold weather species, as well as record heat in many places around the world
How about breaking the record for the most 60º+ days in the winter, having the lowest snowpack on record, only a trace of snow in February (not much more in January) and a series of winters that are in the top handful on record. How about loss of daily rain showers in the mountains every summer for a number of years, record numbers of 90º+ days through the summer, to name a few things we've seen in Denver and Colorado. Granted that one or two years of that is just an anomaly but when it proceeds in that direction most years in the past 20-30 years, is THAT climate change?
Fire season has gone from having been later spring through early autumn to year 'round, due to more wind, higher average temperatures and drier years, especially winters. Is that climate change?
From all I've read and heard, the terminology change was because people's expectations of the results of "global warming" were not what was actually happening to many local areas, but the warming was (and is) causing the climate to change -- I know it is changing because I've seen it in many places, not just Colorado and New Mexico- how about the drastic increase in tornadoes in areas that, when I was growing up ('40s, 50s, 60s) were not in tornado alley?
How about wildfires in areas that, 50 years ago, rarely, if ever, had wildfires?
Yes, climate change is real, though it may not behave as the words sometimes sound...
At least I had a couple of weekends to help in the adjustment. Heck one evening at dinner I fell asleep and almost had my nose in my soup bowl, at the table with customers.
