59DegF for a High in New York City in August?

Question

Where average high is 82 while normal low is 67 deg. One could understand that this is just an anomaly in the local weather, but we're in the middle of a Global Warming Crisis here!

It's hotter world wide with a hurricane in the Atlantic, floods and droughts everywhere, all caused by man! Man pollutes everyday, so temps shouldn't go down.

Maybe the thermohayline conveyor belt changed? Has man just started the next ice age? Now I'm scared.....

Answer 1

Mr. Jello....nothing you could produce to Enraged Parrot (hippie) would change his/her mind. The cold is due to Global Warming. The hot is due to Global Warming. The lack of hurricanes last year...global warming. It's hard to change the cultist mind of the global extremists.

Answer 2

One mild day in New York city doth not a global trend make.

God, I can't believe I still have to point this out to you.

dpj5, there are a great many things you could produce that would change my mind about global warming. You just haven't done it yet. And noting the skeptic's past success rate I find it unlikely that you ever will.

And I have never once attributed a single hot or cold day, week, or month to global warming. If you wish to claim otherwise please present some sort of evidence supporting this position.

Any trend in hurricane activity would be masked by enormously large natural variability. This is why scientists do not attribute an increase or decrease in hurricane activity to global warming. It just can't be done. If you actually understood the theory you would know this.

Answer 3

I actually read something a few weeks ago that said some scientists thought the thermohaline conveyor might be weakening. It would make sense, considering the mild summer in the UK this year. We'll just have to wait and see I suppose.

Answer 4

I am afraid the last bit of residual heat from the last global warming epoch can only be found at the north pole. And an obvious La-Nina has been underway for months, but the NOAA scientists are probably scared to report it for fear of being tarred and feathered by angry mobs of the global warming faith.

Answer 5

Call Al Gore. Look at the big picture. As a planet we are still coming out of the last Ice Age. The planet will warm on its own, naturally as it has done since its creation. Then it will cool. We won't be around to see it. Man's contribution to these processes is insignificant.
Give it a few ays, it will be close to 90 by the weekend and humid as a sauna in NY. Relax, hit the beach.

Answer 6

Awe is it chilly in NY, poor baby! It was nearly 100 degrees here in sunny Ocala Florida. I lived in NY all of my life, now I want it warm and sunny with lots of horses running around...it's beautiful here, would you like to come down so you don't have to put up with the cold weather in August! What about December-February brrrrrrrrrrrr!
Oh and by the way, there is no such thing as global warming!!!

Answer 7

Jello, relax the news article said it happened once in NY. Back then there wasn't a global warming crisis. You should do something else to keep your mind away from all this global warming nonsense.

Answer 8

Anyone saying the weather in one city on one day is relevant to global warming is too uneducated on what weather and climate are to pay any attention to.

Answer 9

Ask the ones behind the HAARP project in Alaska if they can`t do anything about this... You will get no answers, as those are ALL top secret... ;)

Answer 10

Take a look at the Arctic ice pack......If you're not afraid of learning something.
