El Nino kicked things up a notch, but it was the revenge of Mother Nature that led us to the hottest July on record.

According to NASA, not only was this the hottest July ever, it was the 10th record hot month in a row. It's time we recognized that we have a problem and kick the science deniers to the curb.

Global Warming and Climate Change are a scientific fact. Not only do they lead to hotter weather, they lead to freakish weather like floods, and even cold temperatures in places that shouldn't be cold. So yes, you may have snowstorms with crazy amounts of snow, but what you're not noticing is that the snow season is becoming shorter.

Here's a little stat for you from Wikipedia:

97–98% of the most published climate researchers say humans are very likely causing most global warming

Now, would you put a gun to your head if you knew it there was a 97% chance that it was loaded?  Would you eat a lunch if there was a 98% chance there was poison in it? If you knew there was a 97% chance that one of your kids was going to be hit by a car on the way to school, would you still send them? I think any sane person would say, the chances of something bad happening are too high. It's time we recognize that the earth is heating up and do something about it before it's too late. Small sacrifices now could mean no big sacrifices later...including the complete and total extinction of the human race.
