I am a global warming skeptic. This does not come as a surprise to anyone who knows me. If you have had doubts, you have come to the right place.
After the 13th COLDEST February in Philadelphia and the coldest since 1979, many are scratching their heads on what to believe when it comes to global warming.
We are also off to an "extremely cold" April as well with one of the coldest Easters in recent memory.
Although, I believe, man plays a role in climate change through urbanization ("the heat island effect" & development), land use changes, and aerosols and gases, natural factors are ALSO important, most notably the sun and ocean.
My goal is NOT to convince or persuade you one way or the other---but rather, to expose you to the multiple sides of this argument. And yes, there are MULTIPLE sides.

Hi, I'm David Aldrich, the Weekend Meteorologist for Fox 29. I'm a "weather geek" at heart and love to talk about all aspects of Philadelphia weather. I joined the FOX 29 Weather Team in October 2005, as the "Ten O'Clock News" weekend weather anchor. I also produce and report on the weather three days a week on "Good Day Philadelphia." In August 2006, I was upgraded by the American Meteorological Society to their Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) designation, a professional recognition of the quality of my weather broadcasts. I also hold the Seal of Approval from the National Weather Association.Born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, I attended the University of Delaware before transferring to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in radio, television and motion pictures in 1992. I then attended North Carolina State University where I received my Bachelor of Science degree in meteorology in 1999.
