A few years ago the Great Lakes were low and it was proof of climate change. Now, the water levels are high. The cause? Still climate change.
A few years ago a ski resort in the alps of Switzerland has to close for the season due to lack of snow. Reason? Climate change. Seems it was a single season problem. Same resort has been running every year since with lots of snow.
After the dryer early 2000 years, the ponds in the Saskatoon east hills were dry. I listened to a radio show where the expert was stating it was caused by climate change, that this is the new normal, that the water cycle in this region is damaged beyond repair and will never be the same again. A few years later, the ponds not only filled up, but flooded farms, wrecked highways and caused high dollar expenditures to fix roads and build them up to pass through this area.
These are but three of these items that have been in the news, used as irrefutable proof of warming. There are many, many more failed warming stories.
My question then is: Why can the experts use these short term anomalies and events as proof of the warming, yet if some lay person with long term firsthand experience, who lives in an area, shares his ideas on how things have changed, be ridiculed as a denier?
