How is global warming affecting your state?
The National Wildlife Federation has created some useful fact sheets describing the effects on a state-by-state basis.
As for me, seeing bees fly in January (when of course there is no food source for them) and watching people riding around in open convertibles (while wearing T-shirts) is not my idea of an all-is-well Winter in the Northeast!
"For the bee, honey is the ultimate reality. It represents the fulfillment of her life mission, the triumph over her enemies, the continuity of the hive, the justification for working herself to death. Honey is to bees what money in the bank is to people—a measure of prosperity and well-being. But there is nothing abstract or symbolic about honey, as there is about money, which has no intrinsic value. There is more real wealth in a pound of honey, or a load of manure for that matter, than all the currency in the world. We often destroy the world's real wealth to create an illusion of wealth, confusing symbol and substance."—Wm. Longgood, The Queen Must Die

How can anyone determine for certain that anything is due to global warming? I don't dispute that the planet is warming, nor that people are to blame, but to say that "bees are flying in January due to global warming" is a statement that cannot be proven.
I didn't say I had determined anything for certain. What I strongly implied was that I strongly suspect that global warming is strongly implicated in this strongly warm winter. But of course, only the shadow knows.
