Climate change and many other factors are most definitely a reality but thankfully there are many things that can be done.
I have lots of info that I think you will find quite helpful and enlightening:
http://ecowellness.multiply.com/ for excellent inspirational info within my blog to help not only our world and its creatures, but to also open peoples hearts and minds to many amazing wonders that life has to offer. I also have lots of info in my blog to help fuel peoples imaginations to many possibilities that can be found only in the minds eye.
Along with lots of environmental info, amazing environmental pictures and videos (These videos show the beauty of this world and what life can be like if people take the time to appreciate life’s true beauty).
Let us all strive for a greener/brighter future by helping to create a solid foundation for future generations to build upon, so we can hand them a beautiful world, filled with never ending awe and wonders!!
Where peoples differences and uniqueness are accepted, where we all live as one, helping one another so that we can all play our own mysteriously beautiful melodies in the never ending, awe inspiring, song of life :-)
I truly have faith in humanity and believe that someday our lives and the world in which we live will truly be transformed for the better.

The recent storms in Chicago have nothing to do with global warming. It's just typical Mid West weather. Weather on the great plains has always been charaterized by alternating periods of drought and high rainfall. It has flooded before and it will again. It will also be very dry again. The flooding has gotten worse, not because the rainfall rates are higher, but because of increased urbanization leading to increased run off from paved surfaces. You priests of global warming need to stop pinning your beliefs to single weather events. Even the most avid scientific proponents of man made global warming will tell you this.

Yes, it is warmer. But, according to better than 70% of the meteorologists and climatology experts global warming is a cyclical phenomenon. In the 1970's we were warned that another ice age was inevitable and would be upon us by 1990. It is obvious now that all the hype regarding global warming was created as a political bully-pulpit. Just remember that many of those who are espousing this "crisis" are less than environmentally conscious. They travel the country in carbon producing private jets, live in non energy efficient estates and drive gas-guzzling vehicles. It is odd that these people expect everyone else to make the sacrifices they won't make themselves.

The fact that NONE of the usual suspect global warming alarmists on this site have not chimed in to issue the standard line that weather does not equal climate is solid proof that global warming/climate change is a scam. The only people that fall for this are the young people who have not lived through any memorable weather or the feeble-minded who can't remember anything with clarity past a couple of years.

Noone N is absolutely right.
No short term weather proves or disproves global warming. It's the long term data that counts.
Here it is:

No purely "it's a natural cycle" theory can even come close to matching the measured long term data. Greenhouse gases are now (mostly) driving the train.

What's happening in my beautiful Chicago!?!?
Did I miss something? I was there for a few weeks, and now I'm gone, is everything alright?

Nobody, I repeat NOBODY thinks that there is no such thing as climate change. I believe the contriversy is whether it is caused by man or not.
It is people like you that are fueling the skeptics. The skeptics are highly intelligent, and pick up on ignorant comments from your side and assume that you guys are just fear mongering and trying to brainwash.
You are doing more harm than good.
We intelligent midwesterners know that a week of 100 degree weather is not out of the norm in late August. We also know that idiotic Global Warmists are going to start screaming that the sky is falling during every single heat wave.

Man you're a sucker. You act like you've never seen a flood before. Floods have been happening since water was introduced on Earth.

Does just one year mean anything? You sure the weather in the mid west was never extreme in the past? What about the dust bowl days? Just because you weren't alive at the time doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Yes I think it might be getting colder.
They just had a record cold temp in New York the other day.
