Global weather?

Question

we have the hottest winter ever and around europe no snow no rain, and ready to go to the beach, can we wake up all and do something to prevent all this from happening, apparently the desert is growing by 80 km2 every year, what is our future and for our kids

Answer 1

Actually the temperature of the earth has increased less than 7/10 of 1 degree (C) from 1880 to 2005. That is an increase of about 1 degree (F) in 125 years. You may choose to believe that is global warming or you may not. Source: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2005/2005cal_fig1.gif There are numerous charts all over the internet showing the same. Some say that 1 degree is enough to impact the global climate, others say it's not. Most proponents of global warming think the earth's temperature has risen much more than that and don't even know that it has only risen by 1 degree. But the charts do not lie as do the proponents on both sides of this issue. The average temperature in the Antarctica is 109 degrees below zero. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctica#Climate It seems to me 108 below (one degree warmer) is still pretty cold and not enough to melt anything. But there are those that say it will.

Back in the '70s all the hype was about global COOLING and another ice age was coming. I remember that they blamed pollution for that too. They said that all the pollution was darkening the skies and not as much sun was coming through so the earth was cooling off. It took many years to discover that they were mistaken and it was all just hype. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling So when someone says, "the sky is falling" don't believe everything you hear on either side of the issue. There are Spin Doctors galore out there.

Most of the time people will form an opinion and not really be informed about the subject with which they become so opinionated about. So it's best that you not form your opinions from other's opinions, (as in this forum) but on the facts presented. (Many do not provide any proof or links to prove their point, just their opinion.) With that said we do have a responsibility to do our part by doing whatever is within your power to keep our planet alive and well.

I hope that helps...

Granted human energy uses have elevated the levels of greenhouse gases, but there is the very real possibility that we are just moving through climate change as part of the Earth's natural cycle. As far back as we have been able to extrapolate data, the Earth has gone from ice age to global warming and back again, and the only real threat is that we would actually be stupid enough to try and control the physical planet when we can't even get along culturally. Be aware too that there have been little ice ages and mini global warmings in our recorded history (Last 2000 years) so your unusually warm winter may be just that: unusually warm weather. Remember, weather is measured in years and climate is measured in hundreds of years and for the majority of the last century, the climate was cooler than usual....

Calm down and take a breath. Apparently, you bought into the global warming scare. I live in Chicago (USA) and it's a mild winter here. Well, that is it was for the past 30 days. Now it's cold as an ice cube outside and right at the normal temp.
In Chicago in 1923, we had the warmest winter ever recorded..52 degrees for the average and that was well before all this global warming and fuel emissions talk.
