Is the weired weather happening this year was ,caused by global warming?

Question

Kansas Flooding,Ohio fires,Drougth in Florida,Tahoe wild fire.
If its global warming ,what is the best things to do?
And do it now.

Answer 1

You can't say weather in one place over a short time is due to global warming. It's just weather, which can do most anything.

Look at this graph. See how the temperature jumps around year to year, but the 5 year average shows what's happening to the climate.

And that's for a whole year, averaged around the whole Earth. The weather for a week in any one place is even more erratic.

What you can say is that global warming will generally cause storms to be more severe, since heat is the fuel of storms. But you can't say any specific weather event is due to global warming.

Answer 2

Global warming is a contributor to climate change and climate change manifests itself in many different and complicated ways.

There have always been adverse weather events and even if there was no global warming or cooling we would still be experiencing such events. However, it's true to say that in recent decades there has been a significant increase in both the frequency and intensity of adverse weather events. We have a pretty good understanding of the dynamics of climate change and it's not at all surprising that there has been an increase in such events - it's exactly what we would expect to see.

It's not possible to blame any specific event on global warming, it may or may not have happened regardless. It's possible however that it wouldn't have been quite so bad.

In modern times we have better reporting and observational techniques so it's reasonable to suggest that maybe there hasn't been much of an increase in adverse weather events after all, perhaps it's just that we're more aware of them. Seems a reasonable enough suggestion. So what we do is to compare the number and intensity of events that are linked to global warming with events such as volcanoes and earthquakes which aren't related. When we do this we find that there's no noticeable change in the number of non global warming events but a dramatic rise in related events such as flooding, droughts, storms, wildfires etc.

In short, global warming is certainly having an effect but which specific events are caused by global warming and which have been exacerbated is impossible to say.

Turning to your point about what we can do, here's some ideas - http://profend.com/global-warming/pages/combat.html

Answer 3

Weather is a lot more complex than the oversimplification that added heat will make more storms. That is totally unfounded, and those claims have already caused some scientists to abandon the global warming crowd. Heat energy does play a big part in creating large weather changes, but it depends on where the heat is added. Heat can also have a moderating effect, again, depending on where that heat is added.

To say that the unknowing contribution to the Greenhouse effect by man is causing global warming is one thing, but to say that somehow this warming has been applied in a NON-RANDOM pattern such that it only increases weather extremes is UTTERLY RIDICULOUS.

Answer 4

Global Warming has little to do with the overall weather. Global Warming gradually changes the climate. Gradually as in thousands of years, not 2 decades.

People mistake what global warming really is. They think the excess heat has to do with global warming, when in reality, it really is nothing.

these things have been happening centuries ago, there just were not as many people settled in the area meaning the damages done were not so great. In a general perspective, the storms have remained virtually the same, its just the damages getting worse.

Answer 5

And what about all the other flooding, fires, and droughts that have happened decades ago? Heck, even before the Industrial Revolution came about? Before man even created fire himself? It is not global warming. Listen to real meteorologists instead of people who failed and/or dropped out Earth Science 101 in freshman year college.

Answer 6

>>If international warming is inflicting freezing climate,<< No one stated that it is inflicting *ANY* climate... It can have an impact on climate, despite the fact that. >>does this imply that international cooling reasons international warming?<< That does not even make experience. Do you imply "might international cooling reason hotter climate? The reply continues to be no. >>The local weather alarmists and international warming theorists are actually announcing that international warming is inflicting the glaciers to soften which in flip is inflicting all of this freezing climate right here within the US.<< No they are not. They are announcing that the melting arctic polar ice cap is inflicting the jet circulate to differ. That signifies that it is influencing the elements, now not inflicting it. (no, that is now not the one affect) >>So would not this imply that if we had international cooling, which must reason the glaciers not to soften, does this imply that the international cooling must honestly reason international warming?<< No... Again. Global warming is the traditional temperature over the outside of the Earth growing over a interval of time. That interval of time can fluctuate, however is customarily exceptional if measured over many years. You're speaking approximately months. If you desire to speak approximately months and simply within the US, what approximately final spring or final Fall? _

Answer 7

No. The only thing you can do is listen for weather warnings, like for tornadoes and hurricanes, get out of the way of wild fires, get to higher ground for floods, etc. "Global warming", as hyped by algorey and others, is a BIG LIE! THAT is the inconvenient TRUTH!
The only thing nature does with any regularity is to change. It has always been that way, it always will be that way. The ONLY thing we can do is adjust and adapt.
Al gore is laughing at you all the way to the bank!

Answer 8

I would say YES. I would think your best bet to help the enviorment by starting to erase your carbon footprint.

Answer 9

No but a whole lot of weird politics are, just look at gore.

Answer 10

probably not, but definitely maybe.
