Today, CBCNews/Canada reported finding a scientist who would tell them exactly what they wanted to report: El Ni√±o plus global warming is "a taste of things to come." Just don't look back at those previous two years, which had the snowiest, coldest winters since recordkeeping began. As for social media, a tweet is making the rounds presumably extolling the thoughts of thousands of people by tapping into a "lot of talk about the weather getting warmer." Even Bette Midler, where the wind beneath her wings is just a bit too warm for liftoff, is tweeting that New England's stretch of warmer-than-normal weather is because of those "ignorant selfish climate deniers." That sounds like divine madness.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_BostonSnow.jpg
