Global warming - ostriches in the sand while the earth dies.

I like the term climate change... it is real. NOT man made. Man-made toxins are a concern, but for health, not climate.

I think that the term "warming" when we are in an ice block is confusing, and the weather has changed throughout the years with the changes we have made to the Earth. From my understanding, we are creating more greenhouse gases- which makes sense with the size of the population and the cities, cars, and decreasing forestry. The problem is that people are focusing on the "warming" aspect, when in fact, it's changing the flow of the weather patterns. Alaska is warmer than New England, the south is below freezing. California is in a drought and the East Coast is going to flood between the rain in the south and the snow in the north when it melts. It is a real thing.
