Cold weather does not mean global warming is not happening...it's actually evidence that it is....or could be happening.

Interesting please show the evidence.

 

Most people think climate equals weather, but I don't listen to the climate forecast on TV. I listen to the weather for-cast. When Trump ridiculed the cold weather in the mid-west, meaning we don't have global warming, he must think the mid-west to be the only land in the world. Australian cities are currently experiencing the warmest temps on record. And where I live in western Idaho, every day this winter has been like an early spring. This is the only time in 25 years that I have not had to plow snow off my driveway.

 

Could large-scale weather/ionospheric modification be a factor?

 

Climate has been shifting from day 1. Change is the only constant and that's the reason life on this planet thrives. Completely remove disturbance from any ecosystem and it will die.

 

It is true that climate change has always existed. It's nothing new and is not man-made. Those who say otherwise are almost always liars using their lies about Global Warming, etc, to promote un-American political agendas.

 

Nothing has changed for millions of years. The Earth has changes in weather patterns all the time. Global warming is a hoax..plain and simple. :thumb:

You should be more concerned about Chemtrails.

 

BS = Bored Scientist prostituting for more money in order to create the cure for the disease they fabricated in the first place! S/FI!

 

What was the quote from Jurassic Park? If a butterfly flaps its wings in Peking, it effects the weather patterns of the world or something like that. Chaos theory. How long have we been studying weather formally? Not long compared to how old the planet is. GW is a big deal only because people have learned how to get rich off it.

 

Possible, yes.
Likely...not very.

 

That's why the liberal elites changed 'global warming' to 'climate change' in the early 2000s.
This allows them to call any temperature changing event as being partially the result of man made activities.
They are now moving toward 'extreme weather' as their next banner.

I don't know any climate scientists. There were none at the university where I studied chemistry. None of my physics or engineering friends know of any either.

I personally think climate science is a branch of political science, not hard science.

 

My Geography department had some classes on weather...my minor was Geography, so I took a few of them. But a "weather scientist" is sort of like "food cook" isn't it?

Some are working at greasy spoons, some at the Ritz, and a lot of them are just writing or making TV shows about food, hoping to get rich. Doesn't make their food any better.

 

I think Tenn and Iam have the most likely true explanation.

 

Ever notice when there is a bad heat wave somewhere, proponents of global warming say "See, told you so!"

But if there is a really cold winter somewhere, and people start questioning global warming, the proponents of global warming call them idiots who don't know the difference between weather and climate, and blah blah blah it's getting colder because it's getting hotter.

Like another poster said, they started calling it climate change so that no matter what the weather does they can still blame it on man made pollution.

 

I have a cat that predicts how bad our winters will be. If the fur on her back turns dark and coarse, we are in for a bad cold snowy winter.

I've had her almost 7 years and she's been right the past 5 years, that is when I took notice of one winter her coat had changed. So at least in the NY metro area, we are in for a mild winter this year. The past 2 winters, the same thing, although people call a few minor snow storms and a cold week here and there a bad winter. My cat will let you know when we are having one.

 

I believe in man made clothing change,when the weather changes I change how I dress.

 

I put more faith in weather forecasting rocks than the so called pundants of today. They at least have what they mean ingrained in stone so to say.

The others are not as smart as a box of these forecasters.

 

I was reading something this morning that talked about the reason the polar vortex is becoming more of a thing these days is due to arctic ice melting. These polar vortex weather patterns used to stay farther north but with the ice melting it messes with wind patterns and now they're dipping farther south. It's a theory that seems to make sense. But I know there are other theories as well.

I think people that say it's real cold so global warming (or climate change or whatever) is a hoax are being too simplistic about a complex issue. Reminds me of liberals trying to talk about guns (usually in relation to gun control) and their understanding of the subject is extremely rudimentary and they say things like nobody needs an AR15 because they fire copkiller bullets. And if you try and correct them they just refuse to think that it makes a difference.

I've seen reasonable arguments on both sides about whether mankind is the cause but I think our climate is definitely changing.

 

Oh. So like they are migrating?

The polar vortexes cannot find enough ice around Santa's workshop so it decides to migrate? Ok, Bless your dear heart.

 

The reason I don't give the theory any credence is lack of evidence linking human activity with global climate change.

The evidence is pretty clear.

Average global temperatures are rising.
The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is rising.
We know that CO2 is a greenhouse gas which helps the atmosphere retain heat.
We know that CO2 that had been sequestered in the Earth's crust is released when humans burn fossil fuels.

The dots are connected between human activity and rising temperatures.

 

:space:space:space:space funny stuff...

 

...you just don't understand the argument that climate change scientists are making.

If you think the people arguing for climate change are scientists, I have a bridge to sell you.

 

They are scientists - political scientists.

 

It may be sub-zero in the midwest and New England, but it's hot as hell in Australia.

Glo-bull warming. I know it's true, cuz the retard with the good hair on TV said so.

 

I think maybe we would be better off using the time and money wasted studying all this climate bs and maybe pull the billions of tons of plastics and garbage that polute every corner of the planet. I’d venture to say our waste kills more wildlife and destroys more habitat than this global warming. It makes good sense to be better to the environment with or without global warming. We do not need to stop progress to achieve these goals nor do we need fabricated agendas that simply profit those who support the phoney claims made by so called experts.

 

FYI

 

Or maybe your weatherman drinks quite heavily!

 

Animals are great, animals are great, animals are great! And in other exciting news, Forrest received 10 more PMags today!

 

Trump fixed Global Warming

 

So, what if there is a serious climate change? Man lived through an ice age that lasted 20 000 years, and did quite well. If he hadn't, we wouldn't have been 7 billion people living here now..
Going around in the world, we see remnants of many collapsed civillizations, some great, others not so great. But man is still around, he adapts and uses his creativity to overcome and build again.

Actually an ice age or global clomate catastrophe could be a good thing...

 

I see more leftists trying to turn our argument into straw men than I see conservatives making scientifically retarded arguments.

Anyway, the cold doesn’t have me asking anything at all. I like the cold. I also don’t believe I have any effect on the weather, and if I do, it’s WAY less than most of the people who are blaming the future death of the earth on me.

Had a leftist coworker a while back actually tried riding me about global warming or whatever they call it these days. So I challenged them at their own game. We got online and found some carbon footprint measuring site that they were satisfied with. Of course my carbon footprint was significantly smaller than their’s was. So they said “Great! See? That’s all we are asking you all to do!” So I replied “Ok, so now that we know your carbon footprint isn’t good enough, I’m going to start ‘asking’ you to change your behavior, exactly how you’ve been ‘asking’ us to.”

Needless to say, my coworker wasn’t on board with that.

Leftists, the ultimate hypocrites.

You have made several post why not post the evidence? Put up!

 

Sunspots.

.

 

Need to figure out if last year was the min. of the current cycle or 2019 is or the min is roughly equally saddled between '08 & '09. This is the information we need as a first step toward verifying a grand solar minimum.

The fact that we are experiencing this abnormal cold weather seems to validate the theory. It will help to get the 3 winter min. behind us. There are several statistical test that can be run once we have the data. Keep in mind the 3 min are Dec., Jan., and Feb., which is why it is a mistake to use our calendar year IMO. It clouds the data.

Using the "Y" intercept of various correlations proves the sun is the dominate source of heat and CO2 et al are minimal. So what solar changes impact the dominate factor.

 

I will never understand why global warming is argued about all the time. Has climate always changed? Obviously. Have humans changed climate from what it would have been without our existence? Obviously. Improvements can be made to help improve our lives here on earth but those efforts could also be significantly limited by the natural cycle of the earth.
