What are signs of global warming in your area?

Question

Do you believe it is real? I see signs of it everywhere in Calif.

Answer 1

I agree.Northern California, has lacked sufficient snow in the last few years, waiting to see what this winter will bring. Drought areas, are causing more exposure for fires. Rivers and lakes are drying up. Here it is almost mid Nov. and have not seen any rain to speak of yet. If we don't get some more rain we will have to close up the California Aquaduct and stop giving our water to So. California. But we should be doing that anyway. and I have been saying that for a long time. I won't get into that any further, or I will get on my soapbox. AMEN!!!!

Answer 2

Well it's November and I am still wearing shorts / short sleeve shorts up in north east TN.

We used to get snow here all the time, now we are lucky if we get an inch or two when it does snow... which ends up being maybe 3-5 days the whole season.

Lakes are down any where from 15 - 30 feet.

Leaves are usually gone by now, but a lot of trees haven't even started changing colors yet.

We are 20 inches below normal rain fall.

Answer 3

Sure it's real, so what? The ocean rose last century too. Did anybody notice? People used to walk across the East River, now they walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Are we just coming out of a tiny ice age, or going into a tiny warming age. Who cares, besides a few politicians peddling fear?

Answer 4

Don't get me wrong I believe in global warming but it is hard to deny that weather trends have been recorded for hundreds of years. We may not be able to prove it until its too late so there is no sense fighting over it. Instead we all need to do our best to minimize the negative effects while on this planet.

Answer 5

I live in Canada, we don't have white christmases anymore, during the summer it rains a lot more and suddenly, like in tropical countries, winter takes a break than comes back, summer is cool then gets warm in september when it should be the other way around...

Global warming is totally real, the planet is dying, stop drying take public transit.

Answer 6

It's real. We had the hottest and longest summer on record here. Crazy... like July in early October, weather in the 90s.

Why is the Exxon version of the truth about this issue so immediately appealing to poor and lower middle class people with no knowledge of science? Could it be they are letting other people tell them what they should think, because they are afraid to think the worst might be true?

Answer 7

I can appreciate your concern.

I am in South Florida and have noticed many signs of global warming

Hurricanes and tropical storm in my area have caused lots of damage and loss of trees, wildlife.

We had severe water shortage this summer.
In fact, we continue to have water restrictions.

Don't get me started with beach erosion!!!

Do I think it is real???
What do you think!
We should all be concerned about this.

Thanks for the question!

Answer 8

Drought. Lakes & Rivers are drying up quicker than ever.

A very record-breaking warm October

Increase in population with each household owning AT LEAST 2 cars per house

Answer 9

Since the last ice age, there has been global warming. The earth is "alive" and is continuously changing.

Answer 10

Do you mean this 20° temperature? Leaves have all fallen from the trees. Typical November here in Switzerland. I imagine it will snow soon too.
