It`s freezing outside, are we not warming the Planet up enough..?
Answer:
Actually, all of you so far are wrong. you need to consider that our planetary dilemma is a climate shift, not global warming. you see, global warming is just one factor in the entire climate problem. global warming is due to the greenhouse effect that is melting away at the Polar Icecaps. this once the ice melts, floods will dominate major cities and elsewhere too.these floods will have an influence on the oceanic currents that control most of our weather. Yes, we need to solve Global Warming to to solve the Climate Shift, but the big deal is the climate crisis itself. it also isn't a bad idea to do some research before answering questions such as these.
--oh yea, by the way, where do you live?!in Alaska? you know, cause then if its normally cold, you have no place to argue. unless, of course, you are talking in centigrees?
Yes and also leave all your appliances on stand by - that should do it!
no I'm all for saving the planet,and recycling,move around to keep warm.if you can or put on another sweater.
I don't know where you are, but its almost 110 outside where I am. I think the planet is warm enough.
well it's hot over here. but yea knock yourself out. and an effect of global warming would be much more storms which are stronger
Hey, it aint my dime.
LOL global warming isn't global is it? I guess localized warming trend isn't catchy enough, oh well. Usually I would have begun running my A/C at the end of May and as of yet, it still isn't on. I am sick of the rain though.
If an area is experiencing a heat wave it is climate change. If it is colder that normal it is climate change. You can not win. They have all of their bases covered.
Its nice in Michigan . Its been in the 90s that last few days in the upper 70 today . We got a little rain yesterday just enough to cool it off a bit . I guess it all depends on where people live who's going to suffer the most but i have no complaints at all with Michigan weather not to hot not to cold fresh air its almost perfect. Sorry to hear your freezing where ever your at . Maybe you should think about moving.
Where are you? It's 98 degrees F here!
Oh, and Spiderman's right - he should get the points!
Hooray, hooray at last someone with a sense of humour. You go for it mate. If you are going to use the fire make sure you use damp wood or coal. You get much more smoke and then you get a good layer of smoke above the house to get back to 28 degrees. If your central heating is electric don't use that. You only taking money out of your pocket and in to someone else's.
I'm freezing too so thumbs up to global warming.
Actually, global warming should be called "climate change", as it's more accurate. "global wraming" is only part of the problem. In a lot of areas, true, it's going to get really hot. But in plenty of thers, it's going to be really hot in the summer (well, not quite sure when summer will be), but also very cold in the winter, with more rain, and things like that.
Global Warming doesn't actually mean that it's going to be hot forever. Some of its effects change weather patterns to be really weird or different. They don't have to be hot. Here, it's been raining like crazy, while normally it is really dry, which actually makes it cooler.
You're right - you are an idiot
global warming affects areas differently..cuz it's too hot where i'm living right now..for example..thailand was not suppose to be raining really hard in APRIL!...
global warming means unusual temperatures in any direction
by me it is 45 degrees celcius
Hey surprise! just cause it is called global warming it doesnt means its all warming. Global warming makes drastic changes in the environment. Like it makes summers hotter and winters colder but it can also make winters hotter and summers colder. Just becasue it says warming in it it doesnt mean its always HOTTER than before. And im not quite sure where on your body you would put the fire but good luck with that!
In Ireland the temperatures at well down for the time of year. I have to keep a fire going which is strange for this time of year so much for global warming.
It doesn't work like that i know what you mean though it's because all the ice in the antartic is melting away at a more drastic speed than what they thought. It's said that this planet might not exist the way we know it in another 40yrs or less could be 20 the way it's going. Horrible thought not for me but for my kids, and other kid's alike. And to be honnest i think were far too late to make any reversal changes.
Alarmist Global Warming Claims Melt
Under Scientific Scrutiny ---
By James M. Taylor --- Chicago Sun-Times --- 30 June 07
In his new book, The Assault on Reason, Al Gore pleads, "We must stop
tolerating the rejection and distortion of science. We must insist on an end
to the cynical use of pseudo-studies known to be false for the purpose of
intentionally clouding the public's ability to discern the truth." Gore
repeatedly asks that science and reason displace cynical political posturing
as the central focus of public discourse.
If Gore really means what he writes, he has an opportunity to make a
difference by leading by example on the issue of global warming.
A cooperative and productive discussion of global warming must be open and
honest regarding the science. Global warming threats ought to be studied and
mitigated, and they should not be deliberately exaggerated as a means of
building support for a desired political position.
Many of the assertions Gore makes in his movie, ''An Inconvenient Truth,''
have been refuted by science, both before and after he made them. Gore can
show sincerity in his plea for scientific honesty by publicly acknowledging
where science has rebutted his claims.
For example, Gore claims that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking and global
warming is to blame. Yet the September 2006 issue of the American
Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate reported, "Glaciers are growing
in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who
recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to
blame."
Gore claims the snowcap atop Africa's Mt. Kilimanjaro is shrinking and that
global warming is to blame. Yet according to the November 23, 2003, issue of
Nature magazine, "Although it's tempting to blame the ice loss on global
warming, researchers think that deforestation of the mountain's foothills is
the more likely culprit. Without the forests' humidity, previously
moisture-laden winds blew dry. No longer replenished with water, the ice is
evaporating in the strong equatorial sunshine."
Gore claims global warming is causing more tornadoes. Yet the United Nations
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated in February that there has
been no scientific link established between global warming and tornadoes.
Gore claims global warming is causing more frequent and severe hurricanes.
However, hurricane expert Chris Landsea published a study on May 1
documenting that hurricane activity is no higher now than in decades past.
Hurricane expert William Gray reported just a few days earlier, on April 27,
that the number of major hurricanes making landfall on the U.S. Atlantic
coast has declined in the past 40 years. Hurricane scientists reported in
the April 18 Geophysical Research Letters that global warming enhances wind
shear, which will prevent a significant increase in future hurricane
activity.
Gore claims global warming is causing an expansion of African deserts.
However, the Sept. 16, 2002, issue of New Scientist reports, "Africa's
deserts are in 'spectacular' retreat . . . making farming viable again in
what were some of the most arid parts of Africa."
Gore argues Greenland is in rapid meltdown, and that this threatens to raise
sea levels by 20 feet. But according to a 2005 study in the Journal of
Glaciology, "the Greenland ice sheet is thinning at the margins and growing
inland, with a small overall mass gain." In late 2006, researchers at the
Danish Meteorological Institute reported that the past two decades were the
coldest for Greenland since the 1910s.
Gore claims the Antarctic ice sheet is melting because of global warming.
Yet the Jan. 14, 2002, issue of Nature magazine reported Antarctica as a
whole has been dramatically cooling for decades. More recently, scientists
reported in the September 2006 issue of the British journal Philosophical
Transactions of the Royal Society Series A: Mathematical, Physical, and
Engineering Sciences, that satellite measurements of the Antarctic ice sheet
showed significant growth between 1992 and 2003. And the U.N. Climate Change
panel reported in February 2007 that Antarctica is unlikely to lose any ice
mass during the remainder of the century.
Each of these cases provides an opportunity for Gore to lead by example in
his call for an end to the distortion of science. Will he rise to the
occasion? Only time will tell.
It may sound crazy but you make an interesting point. The planet as a whole may be heating up but in places where some of us like you and me live it is actually getting cooler. I'm kind of enjoying the bit of tropical weather we get where I live instead of the 110 degree heat.
