I think global climate volatility has gotten all tangled up with the layman, populist term 'global warming'.

Similar 'crowding-in' effects are seen in the stock market all the time - when uneducated laymen start taking out loans to buy the latest hot stock and then lose their shirt.

We are seeing a similar 'crowding-in' effect with the science behind climate volatility - every uneducated laymen is developing an opinion and this same populist mass of people is perpetuating catch-phrases and misinformation.

Im not saying that people should not be concerned with the Global climate - but one must keep their objectivity - because the mass spreads information based on fear and ignorance with little regard for level headed thought.
