Global Warming Sucks

[finnbow]

"Global Warming" is an unfortunate moniker, because it allows its detractors to muddy the waters by confusing weather and climate. "Global climate change" would be better and certainly seems to describe what's happening with the recent snow storm and the huge cyclone in Queensland.

What I've been reading is that the slight changes in climate end up putting lots more energy into the global climate system and increasing the severity and frequency of storms.

I suppose the question remains how much you have to spend to make any meaningful difference in the long run and is this money perhaps better spent elsewhere (e.g., disease prevention, clean water, etc.)? I don't have the answer for that one.
