Where's the global warming? It 55 degrees in Wash D.C. right now. May 18th.?
Answer:
I'm in DC, too! It's chilly here because of that big storm that just came through and the low pressure system, not because of a lack of global warming.
Global warming actually means global climate change, which leads to unseasonable temperatures (either too hot or too cold), stronger storms, and serious shifts in weather patterns.
So throw on a jacket. you'll be wishing for this weather in August!
Goober, read up on global warming...you obviously haven't any idea what it is about. It's not about a single day temperature.
Global warming is lazy media speak (almost deliberatly designed to confuse and stop any useful action being taken to curb our polluting lifestyle)
If you use the term climate change instead, then it might be clearer what is going on. www.ipcc.ch
Worldwide the temperature is increasing, but the increased energy in the system makes it more unpredictable and chaotic. So more extreems of weather.
a 1-2 day temperature differential should not be thought of as global warming ... the impact will take years to see
your best bet is to actually try to figure out what global warming is and the problems that it will cause.
people like you are the reason they started calling it "global climate change", so you wouldn't keep expecting it to cause warming climates everywhere.
global warming has more to do withthe atmospheric conditions rather than the climatic conditions, because the upper levels of the atmosphere is cooling while the lower ones are warming. this condition is sure to cause drastic extreme climate changes, but not warming everywhere. Some places may cool which will be equally devestating to wildlife and food supplies.
Most of the global warming comes from the large building in the center of your city.
It's caused by all the hot air coming from under the domb.
global climate change caused by global warming WILL cause wild fluctuations in temp,rain. one therory is it will cause "continental glaciation". with the increase in water vapor from the oceans clouds will increase over the land increasing rain&snow. imagine a walk in freezer with a warm shower spraying in the middle, soon the whole freezer is a block of ice with a hole in the middle. we need to stop the silly arguing based on religious or political beliefs. we have damaged our planet and we gotta get our act together or else !
