    Indeed. Increased rainfall is a predicted result of global warming.
    So global cooling is due to global warming, got it.

    Global warming causes a variety of fluctuations in meteorological events. Pooh-poohing GW because it's a little too complicated to be explained in a 10-word soundbite doesn't help.

    Anyway, one cool summer in one geographic area has almost no bearing on whether there's a worldwide warming trend.

    Given that the last 3 years have each broken records for the warmest year since records were kept (though it looks like 2017 will break that streak), continuing to deny global warming is getting more and more absurd.

    As long as they have smart chips adjusting readings we will continue to have global warming.

    No, you're attempting to mansplain why Americans are better.

    Too bad your attempt to do so has the opposite effect.

    If he ( Elader) is attempting to " mansplain" why Americans are better he needs to come up with something better than American sports .😉

    Right?

    Thus the inherent difference between explaining and 'mansplaining'.
