If Global warming is really happening. Why are we having a cooler than normal summer in the upper Midwest?
Answer:
Global warming is a line of crap designed to get minds full of mush all worked up so that they think they are doing something good for the world. Instead of worrying about something like this why don't we work on being kind to our neighbors and friends. Let's learn to be better parents and spouses. That will benefit our world more than worrying about global warming. In the end God decides when our world is done-not Al Gore's rhetoric.
look at the pattern buddy, its happening. sometimes it is not as hot as LAST summer was so be thankful BECAUSE THE BIG ONES COMIN!
Is the upper Midwest the entire globe? No. Local weather is not the same as global climate. There is no relation.
Too many people seem to say "it's cold here, so global warming can't be real." Well, the overall average temperature of the world is increasing. There are variations around the world, most parts getting warmer, some parts getting colder. There will always be local fluctuations. There will always be colder than average weather some years. That's local weather, not global climate. Talking about your local weather is no argument for global climate, whether global warming is real or not.
Because global warming is the Big Lie of our era, created by the hot air coming from that liberal lunatic, Al Gore, whose fibs are now being exposed and torn apart by leading scientists.
Because people have become conditioned to believing in entities such as Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy when they were young, this has set them up to believe in bigger devils in life and every form of presposterous falsehood. Gore is on the level of the cartoon character, Chicken Little, who ran around desperately trying to convince people that "the sky is falling."
If this absurdity is allowed to continue, it could pose a threat to our national security by creating a mammoth distraction. That is why we MUSTN'T elect a Democrat for president, who will focus on such silly and ridiculous causes such as this.
have you felt it out the past week or so in the uppermidwest (Wisconsin) Its been scorching
The upper Midwest is not the majority of the earth, and one summer is not the overall climate of your region, either. You are grossly oversimplifying global warming. That is the problem. Too many people that don't know squat about climate or geology are throwing opinions around on this topic. Maybe leave the science to the scientists, eh?
because your not directly effected. the states on the pacific ocean such as oregon are experiencing temperatures in the 110s during july, as 10 years ago it was 90's and the winter snow storms that used to come every winter in january are now coming at 3 year intervals in feburary.
because Algore has been buying carbon offsets! LOL
It is happening and I think we are all talkers and not enough laws put into place to stop pollution. Over poplulation and all of its extras will change the face of the earth. Capitalism will do ok when water costs more than gold and all other of lifes conveniences are very expensive. Try to buy land with natural spring water rights.
I'm in North Dakota and we've had fairly cool weather this summer and for the past few summers. We might get a week or two of really hot temps, but that's about it. Otherwise comfortable... but by no means hot like what you'd expect in the summertime.
Why is it this way? That I can't answer for you but I've had the same thought. Global warming, from what I understand, is a very slow process, so over the course of many years it only amounts to maybe 3 or 4 degrees. But I could be totally off with that figure, that's just my understanding...
You just answered the question. Global warming is a hoax. If Al Gore thinks global warming is real then I will invite him to the Oregon coast in July, where right now it's only 65 degrees, or to Cleveland, Ohio in December and January when it's organ-shrinking cold.
Because Elvis is the king. No it is part of a climate shift that we truly don't understand ourselves. But on top of that yes Global warming will cause strange weather occurances.
Glaciers thousands of years old in Greenland are gone. Islands thought to be ice packs are appearing in North Atlantic.
Yes I am concerned of global warming. Not a scientist so do not know why, but glaciers fading seem real test to prove warming of planet
global warming causes changes in weather patterns - the average temperature of the Earth is increasing at a ferocious rate (geologically speaking), but that doesn't mean everything gets warmer evenly everywhere. Pump energy into the system and it changes things like air 'currents' (the jet stream) and water currents (like the Gulf Stream). What it boils down to is 'normal' isn't normal any more (if it ever was). Change is happening, and at an increasing rate.
it's because of the ocean currents and the jet stream
the fresh warm water floats to the top and the clod salt water goes to the bottom, causing a "current" or "turbine" to cause odd weather patterns over both land and water
i think you need to look at weather patterns over years, not todays, this weeks or months. its a slow acting problem were only now becoming concerned with. i don't think that global warming is an immediate threat to the world but only a growing problem if not acted upon now its only going to get worse.
the idea now is make the world panic, this is the only way we act. if its not a problem TODAY we can deal with it next week. but not in this case we need to act now, to preserve the feature later.
well it was 117 degrees on July 4th where I live (AZ)
it's normally hot here, but not that hot!!
theres your answer cooler than normal everything is going to whack out && what not. The ice from the north pole and south pole is melting causing the water to rise and the temperature the change.Some areas (including parts of the southeastern U.S.) have, in fact, cooled over the last century. The climate changes
Lol, it has been a hotter than normal summer in the south east.
I'm in the upper Midwest and not only have we been having hot weather but also more air quality advisories for ground level ozone and particulates.
because global warming has absolutely nothing to do with localized regions.
Global warming is factors in the atmosphere that causes climate change, and as you just stated "cooler than normal summer".
Global warming doesn't mean everwhere is going to get warmer.
one other thing I should point out since you mentioned the midwest, is the fact of how much more time we have spent seeing precipitation, but much less of it at a time.
this is pretty consistant with many climate predictions of global warming, and what is real scarey, it is similar to the precipitation patterns in deserts.
Some people will argue with that, but if you live or have lived in a desert, you will know, that small clouds drop rain all the time, it just isn't enough to do any good.
All the time it has spent raining in my area, and Farmers are worried about the effects of drought. Why? Very rarely has it rained enough to matter, and the very few times it has rained enough to do some good, is probably the only thing that is preventing a full blown drought.
Hopefull we do not see the same weather patterns next year, or we may be in real trouble.
by the way, not sure if you live near Southern Illinois or not, but if you do, you have noticed that there won't be any Calhoun county peaches this year, because of the real late cold weather that followed a period of Spring type weather?
Living north of your upper Midwest in Winnipeg, Canada, I have to tell you that today and yesterday our temperatures are near normal for this time of year. These normal temperatures have come as a nice break from the hot temperatures we have been seeing so far this summer.
You can't judge global warming on one geographic location.
Forget human caused Global Warming.we have a much bigger problem that we need to stop! Global Warming is coming for us but we have bigger problems and some people have a solution....check them out:

Fact: The ice is melting faster each year. When enough
ice melts the balance of the Earth will be thrown off. The
Earth will right itself. Perhaps a little at a time at first.
When the balance is effected to a grater extreme the Earth
will tilt in one direction or another to the point that the North
pole may end up thousands of miles from its present location.
There is already a wobble. That's how we get our seasons.
So, do we brake out the Bermuda shorts or the long
handle underwear?
The reason that you seem to think that global warming isn't affecting the climate, is because you think you're colder than normal. The climate change that coming is going to be wildly fluctuating weather! Think of climate as a big machine that is powered by heat. When the heat is increased,the power is increased. What happens then is an increase of severe storms and temp. records are shattered ! Global Warming IS being caused by human activities! The scientists can tell the difference between the carbon that comes from fossil fuels and other natural sources such as volcanoes,plants,and animals. What they see is a clear correlation between the rise in temp. and the increase of 'fossil' carbon. Climate Change is REAL !
Yes we should be seeing high record breaking temperatures all over.
I love when these wannabe climatologists claim something as ridiculous as adding heat means greater temperature extremes. This is simply not supported by climatological evidence on Earth. Uneven heating and cooling of the planet sets the stage for climate extremes. Atmospheric phenomena like the Greenhouse effect, which is the underlying scientific principle of all global warming hypotheses, lead to temperate weather conditions (ie, less climate extremes). Take a look at planets with thin atmospheres, such as Mercury or Mars; large temperature shifts/differences that make Earth seem like a veritable picnic. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/07...
Meanwhile when you take a look at Venus, which has a thick atmosphere and an EXTREME Greenhouse effect, temperatures from pole to equator, from DAY TO NIGHT are more or less homogeneous - and as hot as you'll see in this solar system.
why didn't you tell us sooner...we'd have all been up there.
anyway,, it will eventually reach everywhere, so enjoy the cool.
