Antarctic ice cliffs may not contribute to sea-level rise as much as predicted

I suppose my anecdata supports your sentiment. Though, most criticisms and support I hear about climate change are based on anecdata. So I dismiss them as such.

Like hearing a family member or friend say, "Summers are getting hotter, and we got 2 extra inches of snow this past winter. Climate change must be real!". Usually these types of comments are ignorant of multi-year long climate cycles.

I can personally say that I have no idea what the state of the climate is, or how much humans have had an impact on it. Each article I read is only a small glimpse of the big picture, and I am not a subject-matter expert. So I try not to spread FUD.

I've never heard this kind of statement. I've only heard it the other way around where it snows and people are like "what global warning?".
