Answer 1

I answered a question like this a couple of times so I'll give you the same answer:

Yup. Why?

This is the effect of global warming which is caused by the burning of fossil fuels such as gas and coal and the clearing of trees. Clearing trees increases carbon dioxide levels and scientists believe carbon dioxide levels will double before 2050 to 750 parts per million.

And no, strictly it shouldn't happen but there are too many pollutants in this world. Some people however believe this is a natural process for us to get crazy weather which will eventually turn back to normal.

In fact, January 2006 was the hottest January on record in Toronto. I however believe this is nothing to freak about and some people *cough* tree-huggers *cough* are too concerned over this issue. One thing is certain however, don't expect too many white Christmases from now on.

Answer 2

2006 was the hottest year on record. So was 2005, and 2004, and so on. While the jury is still out on whether this is a naturally occuring change or one caused by the use of fossil fuels it cannot be argued that global warming is real, and is occuring at a very alarming pace. With increased global warming, one of the end results is more extreme weather conditions, that is, severe hurricanes and thunderstorms, record heat and cold, drought, blizzards, and so on. Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005 was one such example of the changes in our climate. Recently, places such as Japan have experienced tornadoes - not a phenomena familiar to Japan. Yes, it is very unusual to have snow in such places-here in Willcox, just east of Tucson, we picked up about 3-4 inches of snow, more in the surrounding mountains. But given the changes in earth's climate such can be expected, and will probably become more unusual in years to come.

Answer 3

Snow in the desert is nothing new. Desert nights have always been some of the coldest on Earth because places with low moisture in the soil do not retain hit. Adding precipitation to this cold climate is likely to produce hit.

Any one who has been to Las Vegas during the winter months will tell you that you'll get rain and maybe even some snow.
