Where's the global warming Mr. Gore scared us into??

Question

It's nearly Freezing in TX, last year it was almost 100 degrees!

70 Degree difference in ONE year!!

The ICE AGE IS COMING CHICKEN LITTLE!!!! I mean Mr. Gore!!

Answer 1

OMG START THE COUNTDOWN

Answer 2

Don't you believe it, Mr. Little. You should HOPE that your isolated incident of a severe winter means that global warming isn't happening, but it's not nearly that simple.

The main short-term manifestation that we're seeing isn't straight-line warming, but massive instability of the weather patterns. You'll get horrible winters in the NorthEast and flooding in the South and meanwhile the Southwest has been in a drought sine 1999. While all this is happening, the icecaps have measurably melted.

We're in for strange, severe weather with extreme variations in temperature, and this is just the beginning.

The word "warming" refers to an overall trend that's going to take place over decades or centuries, over the entire globe. You can't draw any conclusions from the bad winter you're having in your hometown, this year
.
Stop whipping Mr. Gore just because GW doesn't work the way you think it should and go back to school and take a science class.

By the way, Chicken Little, how can you tell if the sky is falling if you have your head stuck in the sand?

Answer 3

This is a common mistake most people make. You need to understand the difference between climate and weather. Weather is what happens on a given day in a given location. Climate is the average weather over a given time, for a given area, or the entire world in the case the subject of global climate change. Climate change models predict that as the planet warms, there will be more dramatic swings in day to day weather. That is what you are experiencing in your location.

There is absolutely no question that the average temperature of the planet is increasing, and increasing at a faster rate than previously observed. Also, CO2 levels in the atmosphere and the oceans are much higher than in the past. It is a fact of the laws of physics that CO2 gas traps heat, this is not up for debate. Only political pundits and people ignorant of the facts still question this.

But it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. It is happening, and nothing can be done to stop it at this point. Move to higher ground and keep your powder dry.

Answer 4

The term global warming doesn't mean its always warmer, obviously.. we're all experiencing a bit of artic air right now. But, the glaciers and ice caps are quickly receding and both the jet stream and gulf stream are moving causing the weather to be very different. We have more violent hurricanes and tornados each year. And yes.. I was golfing almost until January in New England.. that indicates a bit of warming, considering we were accustomed to snow in October. Also.. considering I live on a small lake, I haven't been able to walk on the ice in over 10 years.. in fact, some years it doesn't even freeze at all. In the 70s, I was able to walk across frozen rivers each year, saving me an hour walk to the boys club.

Answer 5

you know everyone can joke about the and deny it all they choose ,but the reality is it is true and it is going to be bad and there isnt much we can do about it ,,we can do what we can do ,but its a huge sacrifice for the big money makers and they are going to probably survive due to having vast wealth where they can find other ways to survive the us poor people can ,like building under the earths crust or maybe moving on to another planet ,what ever it may be, yeah it is in out hands we can choose to go radical and stop working for these huge companies and stay home and go back to the way it was 100 years ago ,but guess what chicken little no ones going to give up there creature comforts to put this earth back the way it was.so joke all you wish ,but our kids wont have anything close to what we have had on the beautifull planet and its all our faults, you dont believe it??? ok take a trip up north and see for you self everyones already clammering to go find the riches in the land that hasnt been touched ,for mining and digging for gold etc...there u go man get rich with all the rest but we cant take those riches with us when this earth goes belly up!! the really sad thing is nobodys gonna know what hit them ,,why do you think they keep saying its not true they stand to loose millions if we stop using fuel,and energy ,whos hiding the truth and who stands to loose here not the scientests they arent going to make money from it but the oil and electric compines stand to loose billions,think about it ,,and if every one knows its true it will cause a lot of histaria so think and do some research and then you will know for sure

Answer 6

global warming will actually cause the world to cool as well as warm. It will really just change the weather patterns in general. More extremes. The term global warming is basically misleading. It is really called global climate change and it all has to do with ocean currents. As ice melts in the arctic ocean currents will be diverted causing europe to freeze. Look at a map, Europe is farther north than Maine. The only reason it is pleasent now is because of the gulf stream that brings warm water and air to Europe. This current will be altered by rising seas and melting ice causing Europe to cool. Texas will experience similar effects. warming and cooling are directly related. Climate change in general is what we will see, not just warming.


By the way, it is idiotic people like you who do not go about learning the whole problem and just write it off as something stupid that isn't happening that are the problem. It is people like you who will destroy the world and climate. It is so pathetic.

Answer 7

Tell me about it - It's Easter Sunday tomorrow and I am still wearing my wool coat with the fur trim collar. Not very Easterish, but practical! The flowers are all , the buds on the blossom trees are withered because they froze! I spring time because it's always freezing around here (Chicago). I remember as a child having wonderful weather this time of year. I would believe global freezing, but definitely not global warming. Gore's an idiot.

Answer 8

You're obviously uneducated so I'll try to direct you to a thing called a D-I-C-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y this is a lovely book that can expend your ability to understand and help you have better command of the language, see you're talking about W-E-A-T-H-E-R that is different from C-L-I-M-A-T-E, what Mr. Gore is referring to is called climate change, and climate change can effect the W-E-A-T-H-E-R in many different ways including bring colder or more severe weather to certain regions, learn the S-C-I-E-N-C-E before you comment on it lest you continue to avail yourself to looking like a F-O-O-L

Answer 9

It was also freezing this winter across the Midwest. Much worse than usual.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gore responds to these obvious reversals by saying,

"My friends, our mother the Earth is trying her hardest to combat this insidious global warming that mankind has created with increased CO2 production. She is valiantly fighting back to maintain equilibrium, so this is why we are experiencing such cold temperatures.

Mother Earth is trying to swing the balance in the opposite direction. If you don't want to freeze to death next winter, support my anti global warming initiates."

Answer 10

Some scientists think that there actually isn't any global warming, and that the earth just goes through a natural change in tempatures over the years. As in one year it is cold the next is colder and then the next is hot and the next is hotter. but we have no doubt adder to the increase in tempature through global warming.

Answer 11

Global warning takes place in small degrees over 100's of years. Not one year . You need to take averages not the high for today compared to the high this time last year.
