Not so fast there, Xenox!

You 've given evidence of climate change, not of global warming. Climate change and global warming are not the same. Climate change is what we are observing. Global warming is the hypothesis that the observed climate change is due primarily or exclusively to human activity.

The evidence of climate change is apparent, although the legitimacy of much of this evidence is in doubt. For example, your snow-covered mountains that aren't snow-covered anymore. Having lived in the western US most of my life, I've observed this repeatedly, just as I observed the opposite repeatedly. Various peaks of the Sierras and Cascades could be sheathed in snow one winter, then bare-naked the next, then up to there in snow again the winter following. Same thing here in the Great Lakes. Snowfall is capricious from one year to the next, and always has been - at least since the end of the last Ice Age.

Now if you want to present evidence of global warming  - as opposed to climate change - have at it. Over to you, good buddy.

SO I HAVE GIVEN EVIDENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING

have you given evidence that it is not so?

If so, I haven't seen it.

what I have mentioned are pretty solid indicators of global warming.

you cannot dispute that these things are happening.  they are -- they are measured and measureable.

it would seem that the global warming opponents are working on pure conjecture.
