In the study, Egan and Mullin wanted to see how the public’s experience with weather has changed since 1974. They developed a metric they called the “weather preference index” that quantifies Americans’ appetite for warmer winters and temperate summers. The metric looked at maximum temperatures in January and July, as well as summer humidity and precipitation data. For almost everyone in the U.S., winters have become warmer and summers have remained relatively stable. According to their metric, the population centers experiencing the most worsening of weather were in the northeast and parts of Southern California and Arizona. However, the most severe worsening occurred in sparsely populated areas of the upper Midwest. Whereas climate scientists report on average temperatures over time and extreme events related to climate change, Mullin and Egan wanted to look at climate change through the eyes of the general public. Many people’s beliefs and concerns about climate change form partly based on their experience with the daily weather, the study says. And based on Americans’ experience with climate change so far, "none of this gives the American public reason to demand change and public policies to address this critical problem,” Mullin said. http://www.latimes.com/science/scie...ange-weather-america-20160420-story.html I wonder how many respondents are from Houston and really like flooding!

Flooding is a function of precipitation, not temperature.
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

The science is settled.
Walt got his head pinched in a car door as a child. Now he's so narrow minded you can poke both eyes with one finger.
The abortion didn't take. His mother kept trying.

I can't believe the stupidity here... Like it? Nope. But its damn sure not been a time I can't recall while living there and after moving out, that it didn't flood... it was just normal. If it rained any amount say 2-3 inches streets had water 6 plus inches deep.... if it rained more... well you get the idea... it was normal to have water up to the door of the house every year or so.
