Not here in Tucson, AZ. We have had more rain than we had in years, so much green vegetation growing everywhere now.

So that's like the worst in 100 years? 150? Climate change is real... it always has been, ask the dinosaurs.

How long have they been keeping records? Before that they have no idea what happened. In any case a drought is a local event. And such it proves nothing

Droughts are not local unless you consider a single area of the country local.

I bet they would have said that when the petrified forest dried out as well.
The earth has a habit of being in constant change.

That's the definition of local. A single area

Duh! Yes, a literate person would. And an intelligent person knows the difference between weather and climate.

The term Climate Change. Is merely a dodge to confuse the average person that climate is the same as global warming. Since global warming has not really been happening and climate change is a natural and constant occurance the change in terminology has been adopted. Global warming is NOT settled science and consensus is not a scientific construct Climate Change is the "proper" term
