text: Anyone who puts forth personal experience when arguing for or against global warming immediately gets disregarded in my book. Intelligent debate would be appreciated but it seems a large percentage of people have no idea what scientists are trying to tell us. It's GLOBAL warming, not San Francisco warming or Paris or Honolulu warming. Also we're talking about average temperatures (maybe 1 or 2 degrees F) going back decades if not centuries. Anecdotal evidence is NOT relevant here.
