Will global warming melt the 10 feet of snow in New York?

Question

I bet the New Yorkers hope so. Also, will global warming warm it up enough so the families can hold funerals for the 13 people who froze to death in the midwest?

Answer 1

I heard all that snow isnt going to entirely melt till July. Then theres gonna be widespread flooding throughout the area. New York isnt out of it yet.

Answer 2

Interestingly, the heavy snows in areas proximal to lakes are a predicted effect of global warming. The reason for the excessive snow is the high humidity of the air. Usually by now the lakes are frozen thus reducing the amount of moisture in the air. This year, its been too warm for the lakes to freeze, so more atmospheric moisture means more snow.

In general, the predicted effect of global warming is much colder but shorter winters and much hotter and longer summers, for a variety of reasons. Weather becomes extreme under these circumstances with the result that agriculture is less dependable. That means that going forward, your food is going to cost you much much more.

With condolences to the families of the frozen, my 500 gallon hot tub 100 miles east of Portland OR at altitude 2200 ft froze solid for the first time since I moved here 30 years ago... Here's hoping we have a SCORCHING summer... the 4000 lbs of ice just might melt by next fall....

Answer 4

Cleary there hasn't been sufficient international warming. per chance, if we paintings fairly troublesome, power more beneficial SUVs, and prefer to higher stages of CO2 emissions then lets benefit a Venusian like climate. besides the undeniable fact that, short of such an attempt, i'd say human being climate activities are brought about through international climate tendencies. yet when we prefer to me morbid about the Donner get mutually. hotter climate, a lot less snow, a lot less in all probability to get trapped in the mountains, yet in case you do get trapped for different causes then you quite does no longer have sufficient snow to refrigerate the corpses of your associates for destiny barbeque. playstation strike a cord in me not in any respect to bypass trekking with you.

Answer 5

Springtime will melt the 10 feet of snow in New York, just wait for it.

Answer 6

Some effects on both the natural environment and human life are already being attributed at least in part to global warming. Glacier retreat, ice shelf disruption such as of the Larsen Ice Shelf, sea level rise, changes in rainfall patterns, increased intensity and frequency of hurricanes and extreme weather events, are being attributed at least in part to global warming. While changes are expected for overall patterns, intensity, and frequencies, it is difficult or impossible to attribute specific events (such as Hurricane Katrina) to global warming.

Some anticipated effects include sea level rise of 110 to 770 mm by 2100,[31] repercussions to agriculture, possible slowing of the thermohaline circulation, reductions in the ozone layer, increased intensity and frequency of hurricanes and extreme weather events, lowering of ocean pH, the spread of diseases such as malaria and dengue fever, and mass extinction events.

The extent and probability of these consequences is a matter of considerable uncertainty. A summary of probable effects and recent understanding can be found in the report of the IPCC Working Group II.

Answer 7

people will believe almost anything if they hear it repeated often enough.
um, maybe it will melt the snow in NY but more is on the way. Why? you guessed it...global warming.

Answer 8

global warming increases evaporation which increases precipitation. Just because it still gets cold does not mean the average GLOBAL temperature isn't higher than it's ever been on this planet. Don't confuse 'weather' with 'climate'.

Global warming to bring heavier rains, snow...

Answer 9

Remember, global warming is like El Nino. You can blame it on EVERYTHING, and no one can prove you wrong.

Answer 10

Wonder if it'll melt the EXPANDING ice in Antartica too????
