Think we don't have climate change?

Another indication of possible climate change, this time here in Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas, this time from one of our local weathermen.

The local TV weatherman, Gary Lezak, pointed out the other day that never before in the history of our metropolitan area have we gotten as little snow as we have this winter.

As of today, right now, we got one inch of snow this winter.

That's it.

To repeat: never before in the history of meteorological record-keeping for this area have we gotten so little winter precipitation.

This on top of Australia's drought.

On top of the drought in the San Joaquin Valley in California.

And those could all be temporary changes, sure and not part of any larger climate or flobal weather change.

Sure.

But the big indicator for us all is, really, the changing, melting ice caps at our poles.

It's a whole lot of indication of what, exactly is going on all around the world.
