Media Matters reports today that President Obama, in a town hall in Nevada, spent some time talking about climate change. The president explained effects of climate change as they relate to some of the current weather, such as snow in Washington.
“It means the planet as a whole is getting warmer. But what it may mean is, for example, Vancouver which supposed to be getting snow during the Olympics, suddenly is at 55 degrees and Dallas suddenly is getting seven inches of snow. The idea is that the planet as a whole get warmer, you start seeing changing weather patterns and that creates more violent storm systems, more unpredictable weather, so any single place might end up being warmer.”
