Truth About Weather, Climate and Climate Change

This blog will be a place where people who believe or disbelieve in human-caused climate change can “meet” to provide information, web links, science, anecdotal evidence and other things that will move us toward understanding this very complex issue we call climate change. Together, let’s make this unique blog a place where we can disagree and agree to disagree about this hot-button topic. II am a human-caused climate change skeptic, but I am scientist first. I truly want truth, even if my position is eventually proven incorrect.
