As soon as your humble correspondent flipped on the TV set this New Year morning, he heard an MSNBC report about record levels of snowfall that just hit the Pacific Northwest. Checking around the web, it turns out that other parts of the country were also hit with record levels of snowfall. Here are a few of the reports starting with this one in the Green Bay Press Gazette (emphasis mine):

Green Bay ended the month with 45.6 inches of snowfall, the most of any December on record.

Here was the snow depth for the Pacific Northwest on January 1st 2004. The snow depth (measured on January 1st) has been in general getting progressively worse for the past 5 years. Coinciding with the decrease in solar activity.

We’ve had unusually high amounts of snow for December here in northern NJ. Winter’s going to be long this year.

Just passing on a bit of trivia on globull warming FRiend.
I agree with your premise.

You're being too generous by calling "Climate Change" a theory. "Climate Change" is nothing more than an empty phrase. To qualify as a theory, it must at least provide some type of testable prediction and a mechanism by which predictions of the theory can be derived.

I believe that's what I said. Ie: "It's past time to put up or shut up!"

Not to quibble but there are at least two definitions for "theory". The first being scientific is, as you describe, making demonstrably correct predictions based on the theoretical precepts. The second definition is legal as in the District Attorney presented his theory of the crime. In the second case, plausibility replaces "demonstrably correct".
