What happened to Global Warming?

Question

It snowed in TEXAS. In April.

Answer 1

Yeah I know. People don't really blame global warming when things like this happen. Americans only mention it if there's a major heat wave or a catastrophic hurricane hits the US.

Then they totally shut up about it when cold weather dominates.
As if Global warming is non existent.

Answer 2

Global warming should have been called climate change ,involving exstreme weather conditions

in Mexico many people have frozen to death as an indirect result of Global warming which is desertification

forrests regulate the climate ,they absorb heat in the day and release heat in the night ,

if you have ever been to the Sahara you will understand what that means,

days that are boiling hot and freezing nights ,because there are no forrests to regulate the climate ,if enough forrests are gone this affects larger areas
hotter days colder nights
maybe hotter summers and colder winters
that is why the hotter sun melts the snows and glaziers ,and the colder nights has people confused and saying where is the damn global warming now

go to the countries on the equator check what is happening there

in North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss and desertification and some have died as a result

in china, thousands of what used to be farmers are running for their lives from the dust storms that have burried their towns and turned their lands into dessert,

,the Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year
and many of the desserts we know result of mans actions ,and they are increasing ,not getting less

Answer 3

"Global warming" has been renamed to Planetary Climate Change because it is not all just a warming effect, it causes more rain in places where rain is rare, causes snow where snow has not been seen in 20-30 years, it is an overall temperature change that causes a chain reaction throughout the planet. There is no longer a debate IF we as a species have changed the planets' climate but how we can now slow down the effects and/or reverse the effects we have created. I fear that society is so dull, so used to accepting whatever the government does or in this case does not do that it will be too late to react and another ice age will happen. The planet HAS to clean itself of the pollution we have created and will react if we do nothing.

Answer 4

You have to understand global warming as the increase in mean temperatures in the world.

It once snowed in Saudi in the desert in the middle of the summer and that was more than 10yrs ago. Does this change the facts regarding global warming? No, you have to look at a global scale and on the moving average temperature for many yrs to see the pattern.

Answer 5

If it snowed in Texas yesterday, and you're not convince global warming is an issue.. something is wrong. It was warmer on Christmas day than Easter day.

Answer 6

Global warming doesn't mean everywhere gets hotter. Some places may get colder. If the Gulf Stream gets destabilized, then Britain and Ireland may get a climate like eastern Canada, since they are on the same latitude.

It's all the fault of Edison. If we'd stuck to gaslight and horses and traps like the Amish, none of this would have happened ;-)

Answer 7

Because weather is not climate.

Despite the ignorant and desperate claims of the climate change deniers, there is excellent and solid evidence that the current rapid climate change is caused by humans.

This has now been confirmed by thousands of refereed studies, and reported repeatedly in the IPCC report and reports from other international groups of thousands of top scientists from more than 100 countries.

It is not just the same old climate change, it is not changes in the sun's activity. It is not a liberal plot. It is hard science, confirmed many times over.

Al Gore, a very smart and well educated man, got the science exactly right in his film "Inconvenient Truth." Fortunately, scientists all over America have realized this and faculty at over 1000 universities around the country have promoted showings of this film which will result in over 20 million school children seeing the film this month for Earth Day. At least those kids will soon have a much more realistic and accurate view of the situation than the folks who wrote most of these answers.

Answer 8

Well global warming makes the world's climate go haywire

Answer 9

Global Warming is so 5 minutes ago!!!
We are now actually entering an ice age!!!!

Answer 10

"Global Warming" is a non-happening.
I'm sure looking forward to our 100+ degrees here in Austin!
Especially since it was sleeting and snowing last night.
