China's had the coldest winter in living memory. What happened to Global Warming?

Question

Could Geoge W. have been right : "There ain't no sich varmint !!" ?

Answer 1

The sun happened, it has been very quite and is continuing to be.

Answer 2

C'mon....You're joking, right?

Tell us You're really not that stupid???

If you had any concept of what "Global Warming" really is, you wouldn't have posted this question.

With the earth's temp increasing one degree at a time...it is causing massive changes in the earth's weather, jet stream, etc. which in case you haven't been around the last 5 years has been causing catostrophic changes in our weather.....e.g. extreme cold, extreme heat, extreme forest fires, extreme melting of icebergs [including those in Montana...down from 150 to only 26] extreme death of coral reefs, extreme hurricanes, tsunamis, etc.

Hope you don't have any kids...or plan on having any....cuz they're screwed.

Answer 3

global cooling is on the forefront

Answer 4

Climate and weather are two completely different things. That alone makes the Chinese cold-snap a non argument regarding global warming, for a detailed refutation see:

Here's a list of the common false arguments that global warming deniers use:

Answer 5

These extremes of weather are as a result of the shifting of the jet stream caused by global warming. Current observations show that the jet stream has shifted North resulting in a change to the paths of cyclone/ anticyclones in the northern hemisphere.

'Blocked' areas of high pressure in the winter months results in prolonged periods of little cloud cover leading to reduced temperatures.

Answer 6

Global warming ended in 1998.  Now the temperatures are cooling to the point where scientist are concerned about global cooling.

Answer 7

For all the so-called hard facts for global warming ... there are equal reports and scientific reasons against it.

Answer 8

Glabal warming can produce extreme weathers and suddenly

Answer 9

No. You don't understand how climate works! Overall global warming can produce cooling in specific areas.

Answer 10

It's just a natural cycle, and when we get cold winters AGWers change their story to: Oh, Global Warming causes cooling as well.

Answer 11

Global warming is just not about things gettting hotter, Its creating an inbalance

Although very much a hollywood movie

the day after tomorrow highlights a very important issue, the flow of fresh water from melting ice caps destabilzing the gulf stream; It has already slowed down

Therefor the possibility of global warming triggering an ice age is very real

Answer 12

This is part of IT.

Answer 13

it was cold here in south africa as well, but then when it gets hot, it gets really hot, wait until summer in china and you'll see just how hot it will be.

Answer 14

im sorry but all these people are morons....  

Below average temps all over the northern hemisphere this winter were not caused by global warming.  You just watch and see what this winter will do to your precious global average that you stand so strongly behind.

And dont use george bush as a representitive of the other side, thats completely rediculous.  Are you implying that the people in america are skeptical because of george bushes opinion?  Gee, maybe george thought it would be a better idea for us to not pay $5 for a gallon of gas because of the taxes the europeans want us to pay.  The lower and middle class will suffer greatly for that.

Record cold temps as well as record highs are caused by variations in the coriolis effect, the movement of weather systems to different latitudes.  When you get an air mass from the north(in the northern hemisphere), it will be cold, from the south, or from the ocean, it will be warmer.

Variations in the coriolis effect cause variations in the jet stream, which is what moves weather systems and air masses to the places they move to.  If you watch the satellite pictures of how systems are consistently carried to the north of great britian, most likely by the north atlantic current.  The coriolis effect also effects the ocean currents.  The ocean currents bring moisture to the north pole though,  Im really curious how much snow fell in greenland this year, there were a lot of on shore storms.

Answer 15

George is correct.  http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/ice_ag...

Answer 16

Do you really want to see proof,or are you just making your ignorant claims to feel better about your underlying fears that AGW is real.  Even your hero George Bush has accepted the FACT that global warming is REAL!   Here is something to read.......

Answer 17

You are on the right track the world has been warming-up since the ice age and will still keep doing so regardless of our action/inaction. Weather patterns will carry-on as they have always done varying from year to year; so some years will be flood others dry or extra cold. The only real question is can we slow down the changes in climate due to human impact - my view is that we can make little difference but we should try for the sake of future generations.

Answer 18

shock horror. the earth as a whole can warm but some parts of china can have record winters.

ill put this in terms you can understand.

you work at a bank you invest money.

it dose not matter if you make 1 or 2 bad investments as long as overall you make money.

can you please explain how global temps are going up even though the earth is not warming?

Answer 19

funny enough you said "living memory", most global climate change alarmists just go so far back as living memory.  they fail to look at the long term patterns that point to long and short cycles of climate change that has happened for eons.

Maybe some day they will realize weather does not fit in to the nice little box they built and it is a living changing thing that has not stopped since this planet was formed.

Answer 20

That plays right into the alarmists hands. If it's cold, it's global warming. Hot, global warming. No hurricanes, global warming. It's a fail safe plan they have. We have normal temps here in Georgia today. Must be because of global warming.

Answer 21

global warming is taken as an average. the north has been cold here as well but u have to look at the whole world. china is just a penny in the earth's piggy bank.
