Answer 1

No, it was not caused by global warming, it was from the jet stream bringing down cold sem-moist air from the artic.

Answer 2

Its a no brainier if you accept that the measurements take by climatologists are correct . In the last thirty years we have come to look at ice cores as world weather barometers and the levels of gas trapped in these cores gives us a good indication of what climate we can expect when certain levels of gas are in our atmosphere . Now the global warming is real and science now looks at Smoke and other particles that are blocking the suns full warming of the planet . 40 years ago the said all the pollution was going to cause and Ice age but failed to take into account co2 levels . They have risen dramatically in the last 4 decades and have caused a trend towards higher average global temperatures world wide . If we eliminated all pollution today the temperature would rise almost a full degree world wide in as little as a month . From there who really knows how fast we could warm up . Anyhow the sciece if it is correct does indicate a rise globally of temperatures and you can see glacial ice retreating and melting due to this rise . DO not be so ignorant as to dismiss the actual signs of warming . No more glaciers left hardly in glacier park . Greenland's Ice fields melting away . Believe me when I say we need to do something about this . Not that we will die but some of the sci-fi movies show people living under ground . This could become a reality for several 100 years if it gets to hot . This also means that 7billion people would no longer be around and a population of maybe a few million would survive . I say who cares really .Not my problem .I will be dead soon . you deal with it .

Answer 3

Here in Willcox (about 100 miles east of Tucson) we picked up about 3 to 4 inches over the weekend. Just my luck I moved here from what is statistically a colder climate and get snow - in the middle of the desert, no less; who knew?!

Anyway some theorize that given certain conditions occur, the earth's climate can suddenly reverse from the current conditions we attribute to global warming to dramatic cooling, with resulting abnormal weather taking place across the planet simultaneously as the climate seeks to find balance. Fossil records indicate this has happened in the past; in Canada, for instance, frozen mammoths have been found with undigested food still in their stomachs, which indicates they were frozen suddenly, and the vegetation and plant matter found in their digestive tracts indicates a much warmer climate, which suddenly and dramatically turned much, much colder. This theory is based on studying the flow of ocean currents which move warm water and air across the planet. The most important of these is the North Atlantic current, without this most of North America and Europe would suddenly turn much colder. This theory is only speculative at best, as humanity has never experienced such a drastic change in climate, and, worse yet, the effects on life as we know it would indeed be more catastropic than we can imagine.

Answer 4

You need to study statistics, if you take a small sample, 1 reading from one day in time and base a broad based conclusion on it then you are short sighted. So what I mean is that if it snowed in your area 7 of the next 10 years then there would be a need for concern. Its an El Nino year and there is a very strong El Nino in Australia and many parts of the world. I live in the NorthEast and it really hasn't been so cold but it has become more seasonal in the last week.

Answer 5

The earth has been going between hot and cold for longer than we have been here. In between the ice ages there was "global warming" or we would have only one ice age. This is just a simple matter of natural cycles that certain people are trying to get you to panic over so you will give them some of your tax money and they do not have to work, hippies humph!

Answer 6

Thats what the "Experts" claim.

But is it really global warming or cooling.

You should get heat waves when they say its global warming.

In my point of view the earth is going into global cooling, enjoy the snow.

Answer 7

In Tucson, we had the most snow in over 20 years. I have no idea how that could be attributed to global warming.

Seems to me it has to be COLDER to do this sort of thing.

Answer 8

i think its not global warming..eatths weather shifts after a period of time...this has been experinced by almost all parts of the globe ..for eg sahara is once a land of dense bio diversity..but now a desert ..indeed the largest.and antartica has some traces of life in past due to warm climate...these are because of the shift in climate occuring in earth..hav u heard of ice age ..i dont know exactly in which ice age we live .but when earth changes frome one ice age to other its ice covered regions change..i think thats why some part of earth receive snow even its not used to .

Answer 9

New Report has 'smoking gun' on climate.

"Human-caused global warming is here, visible in the air, water and melting ice, and is destined to get much worse in the future, an authoritative global scientific report will warn next week."

Answer 10

yeah its global warming, and we also caused pluto's rise in temperature...alaska has record cold temperatures, the ice in greenland is thicker despite the global warming scale...etc...
yeah Malibu got snow, two days in a row!!!! after thirty years of no snow...i figured it was global warming...
