Only in Al Gore's scam movie. I am 72 years old and they are farming much the same way as they were when I was born. Chicago has changed, but it is always changing. It is changing the same way it did a century ago.
Here is a scientist who says there has been no change.
Quote by Will Happer, Princeton University physicist, former Director of Energy Research at the Department of Energy: “I had the privilege of being fired by Al Gore, since I refused to go along with his alarmism....I have spent a long research career studying physics that is closely related to the greenhouse effect....Fears about man-made global warming are unwarranted and are not based on good science. The earth's climate is changing now, as it always has. There is no evidence that the changes differ in any qualitative way from those of the past.”
It is called global warming because it is the world average and not any local temperature that is changing.
It is also called climate change and not weather change because it is the 100 year average and not the daily or even yearly temperature that is changing.
So no one person can "experience" it. And no single weather event can be definitely shown to be either caused or not caused by it.
It is a very subtle, slow, gradual, long term, change in the climate of the planet. Slow compared to a human lifetime anyway, but not slow in geological time scales that are measured in millions of years. So it takes careful measurements from millions of location all over the world and good record keeping to even detect it. Then you just have to believe the records and trust the measurements made by thousands of people you never met. It takes COOPERATION to understand it. Something that is sadly lacking here on Yahoo Answers. And in the world population in general.
The Athabasca glacier is noticeably smaller than the first time I visited it - the toe has retreated hundreds of feet. But OK, I can't personally prove that that's due to AGW. Some of it might be due to pollution raising the albedo of the surface and causing it to absorb more sunlight. Or people breaking bits off to take home as souvenirs - except there aren't nearly enough visitors.
Denying AGW is like driving drunk - any accident is always the other guy's fault, or the sun got in your eyes, or the roadsign was in the wrong place, or your car had a blind spot. But the science says that impaired drivers have more accidents, same as it says that an increased CO2 level absorbs more infra-red.
Nope. And I've traveled around the globe a number of times during course of this scam. And not only have I never experienced anything that could remotely be described as explainable by AGW, I've also never met anyone that told me of such an experience.

No. I am 67yrs old, and everything looks much like it was when I was a child.
I can find plenty of unscientific resources pointing directly to manmade GW. Granted most are extreme weather events without any quantifiers or qualifiers. Should rates, averages, and frequency be tied into some form of basic logical format?
