Global warming?

Question

My children wore shorts to school today here in NE Ohio!
LOL

For those who did not know--this is a semi-serious question only.HENCE the 'LOL'...
*sigh*

Answer 1

Both global warming and global cooling are happening, but their effects cannot be fully understood because we just recently started studying the subject.

Answer 2

What was the question... like really! If its about global warming then here's an answer... global warming is kinda like a car. The windows (o- zone layer in global warming) takes in the suns rays but they bounce off the windows when they try to escape, so they can't. Same with global warming. Due to that its warming our environment therefore you can send your kids off to school in November. Here in Edmonton its -30 degrees Celsius. LOL

Answer 3

last 3 years was the hottest years in 200 million years,last year was the highest extinction of sea creatures sense 100,000 years caused by the last ice age,for ppl 1 or 2 deg different in temp does not make much impact but to creatures living in sensitive environments it makes all the diff,also if you look at the jet steam that is monitored on top of mount Everest,the speeds has been increasing every year,if this keeps up we will soon see storms that never end like on Saturn

Answer 4

In reply to the answer where it was suggested that humans have just recently began studying the subject of global warming.

Consider the simplest model of the greenhouse effect, radiative-convective equilibrium energy balance models, although we could easily consider others. These models required the discovery of the Stefan-Boltzmann law, circa 1879. Understanding the effect of changing the absorptivity of the surface and emissivity of the atmosphere began soon thereafter. Maybe we consider this a recent discovery?

Sophisticated balances providing estimates of the perturbations of the vertical temperature profile had to wait until computers and reliable estimates of the various emissivities of atmospheric gases. The canonical paper of Manabe and Strickler (1964) did a nice job of this. This is certainly more recent than 1835 but it was still 42 years ago.

If radiative-convective equilibrium models aren't your thing, one can consider the series of interesting simulations running throughout the seventies by Manabe where the doubled CO2 atmosphere is explicitly studied. Now we're up to 30 years ago. Is this what you mean by recent?

Bottom line: Don't be lazy. Don't believe these forums. Don't even believe me. Check it out for yourself.

Answer 5

It's not a matter of IF there is global warming, because yes, the earth has gone through warming and cooling stages. The question about global warming is if we humans are are speeding up the rate of warming and what outcomes will arise from the unnatural rate of warming.

Answer 6

Mild winter so far, give it a couple more weeks. Cold weather
will arrive, its not christmas yet. Over-all the winters do seem
to be declinning in their lenght of time, probably has something
to do with global warming.

Answer 7

and Prob in Jan come 2015 If Usa does not get busy>

Answer 8

The whole man-made global warming hype is a money-grab by the socialists and the UN crowd. The earth has cooled down and heated up in cycles for millions of years. I myself would enjoy a mild winter, but it sounds like we may get slammed this year.
And now I hear they want to tax CO2. OK everyone, no heavy breathing...

Answer 9

really? cool
That's what I like about global warming too.
I live in Florida and I'm sititng here in a tanktop & my panties with the A/C on.

Answer 10

... or simply cyclic trends in the weather?

Who let you have kids anyway? Dolt.
