Climate Change and Weather Pattern Changes

By trkingmomoe on Tue, 05/21/2013 - 4:21am |

I ran across this lecture by Jennifer Francis at the Climate Change Summit from last fall.  She is a professor at Institute of Marine and Coastal Sciences Rutgers University.  She presents a very easy to understand talk and well worth the 40 minutes it takes to watch.  I am posting this because of the current extreme weather we are seeing in the Midwest.  The media is going to bring up climate change and the politicains are going to cling to their misinformation that it is not caused by humans.  Prof.
