I am worried. I haven't seen the TRUE_RUSSIAN_WINTER this year. It looks like autumn! green grass starts to grow where should be snow-and-snow-and-snow... Some birds didn't fly to the wormer place etc.
Are YOU worried?
Did YOU notice anything of that kind?

I am terrified. I live on the East Coast, USA and aside from a few days we've had no winter. There are baby ducks in the pond behind my house already and spring bulbs and flowers are already blooming.This is also affecting commercial shrimping and fishing around here.

I want to start by pointing out that global warming is just a theory. I don't know if it is right or not but it is just a theory. Many scientists believe that we are going through a warming trend. It has been warmer here this winter than other years have been. I have heard that we are having an el nino weather pattern this winter which means warmer weather in the northeast U.S. At the same time that you are suspecting global warming, the citrus crop in California is being destroyed by freezing temperatures. Don't worry, next year will probably be more normal.

Yes.
I live in Denmark. For a couple of years we've had herbaceous plants and trees going into flowering in both December and January which is completely abnormal (I'm a hortoculturalist). Here
The guy saying "Global Warming is just a theory" is both right and terribly wrong in his understanding of science. Yes, it's a theory. But so is gravity. We do not fully understand gravity. Global Warming is a theory that has been empirically tested by observations from theoretically causated observations clearly correlated.

I am just as worried as you; the weather pattern here in Africa is also noticeably changing, with rainfall no longer predictable as used to be the case in our youth (50 years ago). The Sahara desert from the North is advancing faster and God knows what this continent will become by the year 2107. What do we do to the politicians who are still not convinced climate change is real?

Relax honey. It's not a prelude to doomsday. This is an El Nino year. That's where all the abnormal weather is coming from.
