Ever notice that global warming is mainly discussed during the dog days of Summer?

Question

Why is it hardly ever mentioned in the Winter?

Answer 1

Actually it was mentioned by Gore a couple of years ago...on a record cold day in New Hampshire!

Didn't win many votes that day, but it didn't faze Gore one bit. He's making movies about science w/ no good data...just the way people are taught in public high schools!

Answer 2

Actually I have noticed that it has not been discussed much at all until after "An Inconvenient Truth" was released. Yes there had been the occasional third-page news report mentioning global warming in conjunction with a heat wave or a large hurricane. Well now I do recall some very limited discussion of global warming following Katrina, but that would have been in the fall/winter time frame.

Given the release date I think the summer discussion is quite natural.

I guess I am forced to surmise that your premise is flawed.

Answer 3

It is noticed in winter and we can tell of major changes in all of our seasons.If your twenty years old or younger it won't ring a bell(so to speak).I'm 39 and have seen some major extremes from season to season. The last 10+ years have been the most dramatic changes in which what we call spring and fall have almost faded into memory. Besides global warming to worry about there is another change that is happening at an alarming rate that will also affect the rate of global warming, this is called Dimming of the Sun. No the sun isn't burning out but less sun is reaching the earth's by as much as 15%. What is happening is all the pollutant/dirt particles are trapped in our air and is reflecting back sunlight at an alarming rate. With the Earth's geological and climatic changes (volcanoes/storms/quakes) and the political mess (wars) we have very little time left before at least 70% of all life will be wiped out if not all. This will happening in the next 10 years (we are living it now). Baby, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Answer 4

In intelligent academic circles, global warming is discussed year 'round. People think that just because we're experiencing a heat wave across America right now, that's the cause and effect of global warming. It has nothing to do with whether today is warmer - or cooler - than usual. It has everything to do with extreme temperature fluctuations of the Earth over long periods of time. It's a cyclical event that our "industrial age" has helped escalate, causing polar ice caps to melt much faster than they would under normal conditions. And when those polar ice caps melt completely, cities on both coasts of both oceans will be underwater, and millions more people will become victims of horrendous hurricanes and other 'natural' disasters, all caused because WE chose to pollute our air and water supplies with vehicle emissions, toxic leaks from landfills, and an arrogant destruction of the Earth's natural protectants.

So while we've destroyed the rainforests so that more cattle can graze and McDonald's can sell us billions more cheap hamburgers, the delicate ecological balance between man, plants and other animals has been despoiled.

While we continue to drill for oil in the oceans and along the caribou's migratory paths, the fragile ecosystems in our waters and on our pristine lands have been undermined.

Global warming is a serious issue that all nations of the world need to address. While many people today believe it's "no big deal", I wonder what our great-great grandchildren might think of us when they have to wear gas masks to breathe and can't drink fresh, clean water. I wonder what they'll think when there is no more ocean life left and they can't even enjoy a simple tuna casserole? I wonder how they'll feel about the way WE plundered and squandered Earth's natural all because WE wanted to drive around in $60,000 SUVs, toss our trash in a landfill without REusing, REturning or REcycling, and did nothing to protect or preserve our environment? -RKO-

Answer 5

Depends where you live. There were many articles coming out of the arctic regions last winter. Inuet people were experiencing weather 50F + warmer than normal. They were also having migration of species such as mosquitoes and robins, wich have never been seen in the arctic circle in recorded history.

Answer 6

It has been where I live and yes, we do talk about it in winter.

There are some glaciers about a two hour drive from here. They used to be huge, now they are big. They will completely disappear within thirty years.
