All of North America is only about 5%. And yet the deniers seem to want to focus on cold snaps on the east coast, lol.

The USA takes up 1.5% of the surface of the globe, 70% is CO2-eating algae-infested water. Of course some spin doctor will try to make it seem larger than it really is.

Alas, they're just too dumb to know. If some knob comes out of his shotgun shack and sees a bushfire and declares the bushfire he sees as a proof of global warming? Well, they need to understand how things work better and stop believing the spin.
