The Problem with Global Warming

Here it is just a few days from Summer (on the calendar), and the daytime highs struggle to stay in the 50s, nights in the 40s, and cool, damp air round the clock. I guess I should be thankful that I don't have the severe floods as the upper Mississippi River folks are dealing with.
This crazy weather is why I think there's a problem with global warming. Not the facts or results, but the name. The public has a real misunderstanding of what's possible because of the name. They think that everything will be getting warmer - when it doesn't they don't hold much stock in the theory. My reality is that is should have been called Global Climate Change.
The idea of GCC is that the climate you remember as a kid growing up is gone! It's been replaced by something very different than what you remember. For me, that seems like, warmer, snowier winters, longer wetter Springs and Summers, and Autumns that stretch nearly to January.
The big difference for me is not the temperatures as much as it is the precipitation. It seems like there is more rainy, damp days which might seem like a good thing. Unfortunately, the surface of the earth becomes saturated and the rains that fall move across the land as floods and high water in the rivers rather than soaking into ground water. When the sun heats things up, this actually dries out the soil deeply and, combined with the increased runoff, leaches the minerals and fertility out of the soil. (This is similar to the deserts where Spring Rains are actually floods and the rest of the year its parched.)
Well, Summer is here on Friday evening, so hopefully things will stabilize a little and heat up. The tomatoes and peppers are begging for the good old hot days of Summertimes past.
