That comment explains what you are missing. Meteorology (aka weather reporting) and climatology aren't even close to the same thing, completely different disciplines, different educations, different science. A weatherman has about as much authority over long term climate science as baker has working on your motors.
That FAKE Time cover you just posted also explains it. Have a look DED:
http://science.time.com/2013/06/06/s...oming-ice-age/
These campaigns of lies are financed by the oil industry to protect their billions in annual revenue, but it also takes a willing participant to be so easily duped. The facts are out there and easily found in today's information age. Does that cover being fake have any bearing on whether you will open your mind to scientific reality?
All you have to do is spend a little bit of time learning with an open mind.

FWIW I have worked in the petrochemical industry for over 30 years. Many of the people I know in the business accept the realities of global warming. Just as they accept the undiminished demand for petrochemical products. Everything about the oil industry is based on ever evolving science.

You guys are funny. All you can do is post theories that a child can debunk within 2 minutes using google, or post fake memes and photoshopped magazine covers supposedly showing scientists being wrong.
Shepnic, your first meme, are you kidding? We're breaking global temperature records in almost every month and year. The Greenland ice sheet and Arctic ice cap is melting at absolutely TERRIFYING rates. Are none of you paying attention? Here on the east coast its verified that the sea level has risen 5 INCHES IN JUST 2 YEARS. Google is your friend, you can learn about that too, if you wanted (or alternatively just stick your head in the sand). BTW the text in that meme is also a fabrication, Gore didn't say that, not even close.
That second photo you posted is of Tateyame Kurobe also known as the Alpine snow corridor for a reason.
If it wasn't so sad it would be funny. Im sure you gentlemen are all smart guys in your personal and business lives, but on this issue your staid refusal to acknowledge facts and reason while insisting on theories that fly in the face of a united front of climate science... its the equivalent of children sticking their thumbs in their ears and screaming "nanny nanny boo boo". You dont want to accept it so facts, logic, and objectivity just go straight out the window.

Lolwut Ded, so NOW you believe in science?
Come on now, you dont get to just pick and choose the parts that fit your worldview and discard / deny the rest (not with any reasonable credibility).
Hehe look I'm not trying to start a flame war. I agree with you, at this point the most likely scenario that will save us is technical development. If you read beyond the headlines however you'll learn that so far they have just figured out that its technically possible, not that its a viable option on a scale large enough to make a difference. Its still an issue as to how to actually capture that volume of CO2 (they dont know, at present there is no viable method). That may be decades off, or never. In the meantime we risk a runaway heating effect due to vast methane deposits in the permafrost and seafloor, which, if scientists are right (and evidence is backing that up more strongly every day) is going to be a really big problem, very quickly

Look gents, we may find a solution and not leave this planet a smoking wreck for the next generations, but to stick your heads in the sand and roll the dice on something so profoundly important is more than short sighted and foolish. But hey, its only your kids who are going to have to deal with the consequences, so who cares?
Im also part of the problem so cant preach everyone else is effing it up, just saying we need to be honest with ourselves. Its basically an addiction we've got and we need to get it under control. But i admit, I'm about to go boating... i need therapy too.
Hope the weathers good where you all are and you can enjoy the water this weekend too. Like i said... while it lasts.
