Any of you patrons having crazy weather in your regions? It was 49F today, which is highly unusual for the area in this time of the year.

Mike yesterday's weather changed here several times from 7C to 1C and raining, then sunny and then snowing...

Extremely weird weather here on western coast of Norway...

UK is unusually cold this spring. We barely starting BBQing.

Did we have global warming debate in General or not yet?

Weather here (DC) was fluctuating between 30F-80F on and off. Now it is stably around 75F, which is just beautiful.

We had a very mild winter this year. It was chilly and warm on and off, but it never got as cold as it usually gets. Hopefully we have a tame summer this year.

Global warming was just brought up in the Debate Thread actually.

Interesting to see that some people don't believe in it. I live in an area where everyone believes that it is a real thing, and no one disagrees.

Do they also believe that we need to spend billions of dollars to try to reverse it?

I'm not sure about that, but the general consensus is that something needs to be done, and soon.

Some kind of action. I can't be more specific than that; it varies person to person. Some people want the government to make new policy reducing emissions... Some people want the government to invest in greener technology. There are other activist views as well, but those are the two that come to mind instantly.

I believe car owners and corporations owe me restitution for polluting my air and environment. It is my air, I have to breathe it - you cannot pollute it or suffer consequences for doing so. I'm inclined to believe climate scientists, and carbon credits are not used for the correct thing. It is my air, my money.
