But there was snow in (insert region here) yesterday, so obviously everything is fine.

     California is in a severe prolonged drought. If there were snow somewhere yesterday, that would be cause for celebration.

Not that I'm denying the importance of this story, but that graph is highly misleading.

It may not be the fault of "climate-change deniers" just yet but I'm going to hold the ignoramuses responsible in two or three decades when my hometown's biome is quickly reduced to scrub and farming becomes increasingly costly as snowpack lessens with each coming year.

The scale of the graph is appropriate because there's no need to represent temperatures above 65 or below 50 degrees. Those temperatures have not been recorded in human history in California. I don't expect graphs of human heights to be on a scale that includes people who are 50 inches tall...

Millions of people, including hundreds of members of Congress, dispute the notion that our climate is heating up despite an overwhelming consensus among not only the scientific community but anybody with the basic capability to read a simple graph, and because of this absolute willful ignorance stand adamantly in the way of any potential progress to be made in order to at least slow down the rate at which the devastating effects of climate change affect our planet, and we're the simpletons?

Alrighty.
