So is this winter storm that's burying the Northeast caused by Global Warming?

Question

You know, the storm that's coming from the North? Granted it is December and all, but it's also a little out of season for a storm this early. I just thought perhaps it was caused by the icebergs in the Arctic circle melting or something. And yes, there is a hint of sarcasm in my voice (if I were actually speaking).

Uh, Nikkilee - I'm from Rochester N.Y.

Answer 1

There is no such thing as "Global Warming" its a big con to fleece the stupid out of money and to confuse and scare the c##p out of the masses.

What is actually happening to the earths climate is all part of the natural cycle of the poles, the earth lies on its axis tilted away from the sun, it takes 25,000 years for the poles to swap positions, i:e for the north pole to move closer to the sun and the south pole to move away from the sun. Thus the temperture will change in the northern hemisphere to warmer and the south hemisphere to get colder, the Ice melts from the northen hemisphere fill the oceans and rises its levels for a while then it re-freeze's in the southern pole and the level of the sea will drop, this will of course take another few thousand years to happen, as for freak events they are only freak events on the news channels, this has been happening since the dawn of the planet. As this cycle prevails the seasons will change and the climate become warmer for those in the north, cooler for those in the south... Hope this helps you out

while, as now, there's a finite volume of water and rainfall is taken as averaged authentic around the globe, there nevertheless must be a finite volume of water in equilibrium, alterations in rainfall development might ensue, however the finite volume will continually stay, if different the rain is locked up as ice or snow, then could it soften, it ought to have here effects; North pole areas, it is going to soften and make no longer the slightest distinction in basic top of oceans using fact ice melts into water and its Mole MASS in keeps to be a similar: Ice interior the South pole has its MASS pressing down upon the forged landmass this is in reality a floating Tectonic plate upon our Earths crust, eliminate the load of the ice and this crust will regulate itself into its very own equilibrium and as earlier the ice will have not got any consequence upon the waters top and all tectonic plates will flow in equilibrium. As for storms, there are tens of millions each and consistent with annum, so even dry places will ultimately get a glut of water, storms are using tension alterations attempting ever greater to attain equilibrium around the globe, yet, using SUNS effect it may in no way take place using fact on a daily basis as one section is warmed up the solar ultimately subsides or is obscured by way of cloud and the cooling starts, ensuing in tension drop. Its a superb international without political interferences and tarnished technology.

Answer 3

It is unusual? You typically can't equate a single weather event with a long-term climate trend. Had the weather been unusually warm before the storm (tell the truth now!)???? If so, the amount of moisture in the air would be higher than normal for this time of year. Expose moist warm air to cold air and get lots of snow. One event does not make a trend, but if this combination of unseasonable warm weather followed by extreme snow fall continues over the course of many years, then it may be attributable to AGW. I wouldn't say it is a yes yet, however.

Surely, your not suggesting that one unusual weather event that is consistent with what may happen as a result of AGW disproves the existence of AGW (says with a hint of sarcasm)? You know the difference between weather and climate don't you (more sarcasm)? Surely, you understand the laws of theromdynamics and could not possibly be making misleading statements out of ignorance (more sarcasm)?

Educate yourself and try again. It really could be!

Answer 4

I used to live near Albany. A few years back we had two feet of snow Christmas day (that's only a few weeks away) and maybe 20 years ago we had a few inches the first week of October.

I live in Raleigh now and two weeks ago at Thanksgiving we had to turn the A/C on, as it was 20 degrees above normal.

Answer 5

I sure hope this global warming stops soon...I've had to turn on my furnace it's been so warm. If it keeps on warming, I might have to buy snow tires so that I can get to work through the 15 or 20 inches of global warming.

Here is truth about global warming:

Global warming is one-half of the climatic cycle of warming and cooling.
The earth's mean temperature cycles around the freezing point of water.
This is a completely natural phenomenon which has been going on since there has been water on this planet. It is driven by the sun.
Our planet is currently emerging from a 'mini ice age', so is
becoming warmer and may return to the point at which Greenland is again usable as farmland (as it has been in recorded history).
As the polar ice caps decrease, the amount of fresh water mixing with oceanic water will slow and perhaps stop the thermohaline cycle (the oceanic heat 'conveyor' which, among other things, keeps the U.S. east coast warm).
When this cycle slows/stops, the planet will cool again and begin to enter another ice age.

It's been happening for millions of years.

The worrisome and brutal predictions of drastic climate effects are based on computer models, NOT CLIMATE HISTORY.
As you probably know, computer models are not the most reliable of sources, especially when used to 'predict' chaotic systems such as weather.

Global warming/cooling, AKA 'climate change':
Humans did not cause it.
Humans cannot stop it.

Answer 6

I don't know if we can blame individual weather events on Global Warming, considering there is a lot of hot air coming from the White House. Just remember not to buy waterfront property or if you do offer ten cents on the dollar.

Answer 7

Just another "poor" excuse for our bureaucrats to spend out hard earned tax dollars*
"With winter storm warnings extending from the Great Plains into the Ohio Valley, a few government insiders are predicting that a new congressional inquiry into the unusual storm will be started later this week"

Answer 8

Doubtful , like you said it is December . I'm in Albany New York , and we had freezing rain and now we are waiting for the high winds and cold , typical December from where I'm sitting :))

Answer 9

Don't you get it? Everything is caused by "global warming" and everything humans do causes "global warming."

It's the ultimate socialist catch-all.

Now "scientists" say that divorce causes "global warming." Is there no end to this nonsense?

We'll all laugh a lot over this garbage when the warming ends and we start back into another cooling period.

I say enjoy the warmer weather while it's here.

Answer 10

So, uh, every time it gets cold you're going to question Global Warming?

Apparently you know something about climate that 2500 of the world's foremost experts on climate don't know?
