To those who insist that "global warming" is an undisputable fact:?

Question

- Why was it -59 degrees C (-74 F) in Siberia today?

- Why is it so cold in India that 300 people have frozen to death in recent days?

- Why has Denver had over 6 feet of snow in the last few weeks?

Explanation, please.

Denver: have you not heard the news since Christmas?

Answer 1

What the tree-hugger scientists and all the other pipe-smoking morons fail to acknowledge is that global warming is a NATURALLY OCCURING CYCLE on Earth. We're just emerging from an Ice Age (approx. 10,000 yrs ago) and going into another cycle of warmer climates. This is a NATURAL PROCESS!

During the age of the dinosaurs, the average temperature of the Earth was higher than it is now, there weren't any polar ice caps, and Antarctica was a thriving ecosystem. How do we know this? Fossil records, primarily, as well as testing for CO2 levels in the sedimentary layers.

BTW... about the ozone hole in Antarctica... you have a baaaaaad science teacher. There has ALWAYS been an ozone hole over Antarctica and the Arctic. This happens on a 6-month cycle. Why, you ask? Because it takes sunlight to create ozone. No sunlight, no ozone. Guess how long each pole is without sunlight?

Answer 2

Global warming doesn't mean we cannot see unseasonable extremes of cold temperatures in isolated areas- but the overall trend for temperature worldwide is an increasing.

The science is quite clear, many of the questions that existed even 10-15 years ago have now been answered. Global warming is certainly ocurring- the only real argument isn't whether the process is taking place, but simply whether we're seeing cyclical increases and decreases similar to those which have take place for millions of years, and to what extent human activity is affecting process. It's certainly possible that people overstate the impact of carbon emissions, but there's no reset button if you're wrong- once the polar caps are gone, they're gone. And lets not even discuss the MASSIVE hole in the ozone layer down around Antarctica.

Answer 3

Ah, you are a sneaky one! A trick query, wherein there is no correct reply, as each choices suck within the severe. You desire to grasp the reality? Sometimes I leave out the well historic days of the Cold War while the USSR no less than had an arsenal and sphere of have an impact on which saved us in determine. I used to be plenty happier again while I knew wherein fallout shelters have been placed than I am now, while I marvel what amazingly dull factor my executive goes to do subsequent.

Answer 4

Global Warming refers to Climate change. You're giving examples of weather anomalies (which occurring often enough, is a sign of climate change).
Climate and weather are two different things!
Climate is; it's normally hot and dry in Las Vegas.
Weather is; it rained in Las Vegas today.

Answer 5

Okay but can you dispute that weather all over, in general is "really inexplicably out of character/ strange for this time of year?
Yeah it's that cold in Siberia NOW, it's 30 years from now when we've already done the damage and there's no turning back, that the ice caps start severely melting and temps in places like that become warm(er).
We are in the beginning stages.
I know it sounds pessimistic, negative and down right depressing, but don't live with the blinders on people, lets face it, we have to get proactive!

Answer 6

I'm with you on this one. The earth's temp has been changing since it was formed billions of years ago. to think that we as humans, who only have been recording temperatures for a little over a hundred and fifty years, are changing the environment that much is ludicrous. The temperature will keep changing forever, to say we are the cause of global warming is foolish.

do u have links for those?
