<blockquote><p>Climate change is real.</p>
<p>Weather is to an inch as climate is to a mile. Meaning: Climate is the big picture, and weather is what&#8217;s happening on The Weather Channel. Meaning: Winter is not evidence against the Earth&#8217;s warming.</p>
<p>Patterns of extreme weather are caused by climate change. And 100-year floods every decade and devastating tornadoes don&#8217;t care what you think about Al Gore&#8217;s PowerPoint presentations. Unless you own stock in an oil or coal company, still doubting the glaciers are disappearing is denying against your own interest.</p>
<p>The weather doesn&#8217;t care if you believe in global warming, don&#8217;t believe in global warming or do but don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s caused by human activity. Weather kills indiscriminately, regardless of opinion.</p>
