For the second year in a row, Sweden has got record levels of snow and temperatures lower than usual. To try to be a little bit cynical, I think the climate conference in Copenhagen last year was a total success. Since the conference, it has been freezing cold during the winter in most of Europe. This is of course a local phenomenon in Europe while other parts on the northern hemisphere suffer from much warmer climate than usual.
After years of drought, the more rain than normal is pouring down in Australia. Areas around the Globe that in some ways normally are flooded within certain periods are hit in a much larger scale. Storms and hurricanes raging, the polar winds blow down from the poles and the whimsical ocean currents in the Pacific Ocean giving rise to the climate phenomenon such as El Niño and La Niña. But what is normal and what is due to the impact human activity has on the climate?
I think it is a combination of global warming and natural cycles. The problem is that the topic is very complicated and it seams like the arguments are either pro or con. There are few articles admitting that it could be several causes to the climate change the last 20-30 years, both natural and as an effect by human impact..
Either way, the fight against climate change for me is mainly about getting people to decrease the general pollution of our planet. This of course includes the suppression of carbon emissions, but the main issue is to fight the whole spectrum of the over-exploitation of natural resources
