You do realize that Yahoo is a leading source of propaganda. Almost nothing they say is even close to the truth.

And the article talking about April global temperatures being above average, apparently they ignored the Midwest and upper Midwest this April. We had some really cold-assed temps, so I guess those aren’t figured in when they are looking for above average temperatures. We would have 1-2 above average temp days followed by 4-6 days of way below average. As for climate change, the nino Nina thing always has been, or at least in human history.

What do you think is happening?
We're {West Coast} are experiencing the "Lava Lamp" effect.
Blobs of hot air from the Pacific go right up North.Followed by a space,
Usually lower pressure cooler and humid.
Those hot blobs are heating up the Arctic Regions.
There WILL be a Northwest Passage in most of our lifetimes.
In the meantime,, all that Arctic air is drifting to the flyover coastal states.
I know you hate to keep hearing it,
but the climate and OIL folk have been predicting this from the 50s.
Guess what? It;s here. You won. Genuflect before Greta before the bar closes.
Still scientists cannot all agree on why worldwide glacial events occur or why they all eventually fizzle out, only to recur again. Only the last, reasonably mild one has had “civilized “ humans existing in its aftermath. If humans are responsible for all of the current global warming, then who was responsible for all of the previous warming periods? If we are responsible for the most recent warming period after a very moderate glacial event, then who caused the demise of the really big glacial event 250,000 years ago? Can’t blame that one on humans.
Maybe the world climate shifts are just like our yearly weather shifts, only on a much longer, grander style. Our cold winter eventually warms into hot summer, which then cools back into winter, only to repeat itself again.
And don’t forget that all the carbon dioxide that burning fossil fuels puts into the atmosphere was in the atmosphere before coal and oil was formed, sequestering it temporarily. We are not putting any “new” carbon into the atmosphere that wasn’t there countless millions of years ago.
