Global Cooling?

Question

coming next year?

Answer 1

Possibly, short term weather can do anything.

Cooler temperatures on average for the next five years? Not a chance. Check out this graph. Individual years bounce around, the five year average doesn't.

As long as we continue to increase our production of greenhouse gases, that curve is going nowhere but up:

Answer 2

Well, winter is coming, but it is not enough for the glaciers we've lost to reform, and next summer, we can only expect more of the same - global warming.

The glaciers have been around for thousands of years, and now that many of them have disappeared or are disappearing at an accelerated rate, they aren't expected to reform unless some global event, such as massive volcano activity, brings back global cooling.

Answer 3

Haha it's funny how they go from Global Cooling then to Global Warming sheesh.

well change of climate is not the same for the whole world. yes for few areas global cooling is coming.

Answer 5

Not next year but eventually it will come the planet has cycles and it will eventually cool down.

Answer 6

Possibly. No one can predict the future. For all anyone knows, the Sun is going to slow down and the Earth could be in a new ice age very soon.

Answer 7

No, that was last century, who knows what the next melodrama will be about.
But dead certain we'll discuss it on Yahoo.
