While I sympathize your winter situation, here in California we are very low on water supplies in our lakes, reservoirs, and rivers thanks to several years of drought conditions. We need rain....like really bad. Where I live we have been mandated to lawn watering just 1 day a week (and neighbors have a hotline number to call if they spot violators....which results in a fine to said violator). A couple weeks ago I took a bike ride to Beal's Point @ Folsom Lake. This is what it looks like now...
The waters' edge should be about 20-25 feet from the bench in the photo. Now you need to walk/ride/drive to get to the water. This is just one example.....other lakes in California are in similar shape. Regardless if it's warm rain or cold rain.....just let it rain. A lot.

yay, another link to a science denial website I'm supposed to read - hurray for your echo chamber huh?
You're right, it reports official data - by cherry picking what fits their previous beliefs and reporting it with their oil-industry-funded slant.
Funny how they always start in 1995 (the start of the warmest ever el ninio previous to last year). Also funny how even in their cherry picked data, the overall trend line of warming still holds.

> Read the preface--What does the author want to accomplish? Browse through the table of contents and the index.This will give you an overview of the source. Is your topic covered in enough depth to be helpful? If you don't find your topic discussed, try searching for some synonyms in the index.
> Check for a list of references or other citations that look as if they will lead you to related material that would be good sources.
> Determine the intended audience. Are you the intended audience? Consider the tone, style, level of information, and assumptions the author makes about the reader. Are they appropriate for your needs?
> Try to determine if the content of the source is fact, opinion, or propaganda. If you think the source is offering facts, are the sources for those facts clearly indicated?
> Do you think there's enough evidence offered? Is the coverage comprehensive? (As you learn more and more about your topic, you will notice that this gets easier as you become more of an expert.)
> Is the language objective or emotional?
> Are there broad generalizations that overstate or oversimplify the matter?
> Does the author use a good mix of primary and secondary sources for information?
> If the source is opinion, does the author offer sound reasons for adopting that stance? (Consider again those questions about the author. Is this person reputable?)
> Check for accuracy.
> How timely is the source? Is the source twenty years out of date? Some information becomes dated when new research is available, but other older sources of information can be quite sound fifty or a hundred years later.
> Do some cross-checking. Can you find some of the same information given elsewhere?
> How credible is the author? If the document is anonymous, what do you know about the organization?
> Are there vague or sweeping generalizations that aren't backed up with evidence?
> Are arguments very one-sided with no acknowledgement of other viewpoints?

yes and anyone that says the science is settled is not a scientist and doesn't understand science
you guys really don't get it do you. you think the world is coming to an end because of co2 yet all the available data contradicts CAGW
can't wait for the new admin. the gravy train of funding the lunatics of the left is over.“There is nothing government can give you that it hasn’t taken from you in the first place”

If you're so scientific, why not show the people who believe in the dangers of climate change any scientific information showing any point in the global past when the temperature rose so rapidly over such a short period of time that wasn't part of a volcanic eruption or an asteroid hitting the earth. You'll be searching for a while. So for those that seem to push the argument that the earth naturally warms and cools, yes it does, that's true, but the rate at which it does so isn't this rapid, because there is a catalyst, humans.
