are people in n.y. under 11 ft. of snow thinking "globel warming"?

Answer 1

I doubt it!

When you are freezing your Azz off it is difficult to think of anything warm!!!!!!!

Here in Florida we have the old saying - That when you are up to your neck in Alligators - its difficult to remember that the original goal was to drain the swamp!!!!!!!

I think that would apply there in New York as well.

Answer 2

Even based on the worst case scenario the average global temperature is only rising by 0.064 degrees Celsius a year. Such a small change will have an almost negligible effect on the weather from one year to the next. However, the cumulative effect over many years will have serious consequences.

Just because it's snowing doesn't disprove global warming. Take the recent snow in New York. For snow to become a rarity in New York would require a temperature rise of 12.9 degrees Celsius. Even if the worst predictions about global warming turn out to be correct there'll still be snow in New York in 200 years time.

There's an important distinction between weather and global warming. Weather is short term and localised, global warming is worldwide and long term, please don't confuse the two.

Answer 3

Global warming is just that - global. It is a rise in the average temperature all over the world. So while in NY and other northern areas there is more snow/cold weather, there are also places where the temperatures are much higher. And in case you've forgotten, it's taken until now for all that snow to appear. Before December/January temperatures were much higher than normal.

Answer 4

By now, everyone should understand that Global Warming is a total myth. But for those Lemmings who follow the Chicken Little philosophy of life, I have 10 feet of snow and almost 800 consecutive hours of below freezing temperatures I can send them!

Answer 5

Just because it snowed 11ft, doesnt mean Global Warming is not going on. They seriously need a Global Warming class for grade school students, so they can learn a bit about it

Answer 6

"October's" answer illustrates the intellectual bankruptcy of the so-called "global warming" hypothesis.

To "global warming" believers, every imaginable kind of weather event is considered evidence of "global warming." If we have a mild January, it's because of "global warming." And what if February is 13 degrees below normal? That must be "global warming" too!

Hot summers are caused by "global warming." So are cool, wet summers. If there's a severe hurricane, as in 2005, Cindy Sheehan says that it must be because of "global warming." And what if we have a summer with no hurricanes, like 2006? Bingo! The climate is "changing" and we have "global warming" to blame.

My problem with the "global warming" believers is that their hypothesis is unscientific in that it is impossible to imagine any event that might disprove it. To them, ALL weather phenomena are considered proof of so-called "global warming."

Answer 7

This is a stupid question and it just proves you don't know anything about global warming. Global warming, contrary to what most people would think, does not exactly raise the temperature all over the planet. It is actually throwing the balance of the seasons out of wack. Many places which have always had winters are now having them double. Other places which have had moderate to small winters are now not having any.

Answer 8

it was warm in DEC Jan with no snow that is global warming

Answer 9

I love it when the Lord makes a fool out of people.
