Climate Change (GW)?

Question

If Global Warming means Colder winters and hotter Summers, does that mean much later on, it will be an ice age, then freak heat waves?? Just curious.

Answer 1

it means in general that there will be warmer winters and summers. in theory some places could get colder but that's quite unlikely.

Answer 2

Beware of Junk Science...

Take the basic premise that increases in co2 will increase temperature. From the start of this century co2 levels were increasing slowly and then started to shoot up during the late 50's. So according to the theory, temperatures should have risen at a slow and constant rate until 1960 and at a faster rate after that.

In reality temperatures started to increase at around 1910 and rose steadily until 1940. It then fell until 1975. It rose until 1998 and has been constant ever since. The latest data confirms that the past 10 years have resulted in a net cooling. According to the co2 theory temperatures should not have risen as fast during the early part of the century and they should not have fallen for three decades during the mid century.

Global Warming/Cooling is part of our climatic history. it's effects are measured in thousands and millions of years. At one time in the 15th century England grew grapes for wine. We know this today because of medieval records. Scores of scientific papers show that the medieval warm period was real, global and up to 3C warmer than now. Then, there were no glaciers in the tropical Andes: today they're there. There were Viking farms in Greenland: now they're under permafrost. There was little ice at the North Pole: a Chinese naval squadron sailed right round the Arctic in 1421 and found none. The facts about GW are that the phenomenon is poorly understood, and mountains of evidence now question man's impact. As the earth's climate fluctuates, as it has throughout the planet's history. This hysteria about Global Warming has less to do with science than it does with efforts to demonize Capitalism. A system that has brought more wealth & freedom than any other system ever before.

Answer 3

Global warming is a natural phase of Earth, caused by some Solar Activities by Sun. We human don't have to bother about it. Some of the environmentalist says that this is because of the CO2 we are emitting into the environment, but the reality is that we are just contributing towards 1% to 10% of actual global warming.

If the actual cause of Global Warming is CO2 emitted by the humans then why Global Warming occures on other planets. Just Google for "Global Warming on other planets" and see the results, there are no humans on other planets.

Having too little CO2 in the environment will cause for the plants to die more early, more over it also cools down the temperature on earth.

Having too much CO2 (obiviously, not caused by humans. Mostly generated in the Sea/Oceans) will lead to Green House effect and will lead in increasing the temperature on Earth.

So, the best is to plant more trees so that there would be a balance for the consumption of CO2 on the planet.

I personally think that instead of thinking on this baseless issue try to think on what if Nuclear War broke out in the world, it will destroy Earth more rapidly.

So, next time whenever somebody says you about global warming, just ignore it.

Answer 4

Global warming does not mean colder winter and hotter summers.  It means hotter winters and hotter summers.  The person who said that is trying to justify the colder winters.

Answer 5

The is alot of misinformation regarding global warming. Here are other things to consider:

1. The earth was warmer when donosaurs were around than it is now.

2. The climate is cyclic. The earth has been through at least six ice ages. You have to look at the climate over centuries, not decades.

3. A glacier in South America has been shrinking since records were started in 1896. There is no proof that it was not shrinking before then. That is long before cars, computers, and the industrial age

4. Look at military maps over the past few decades, You will notice a shift in magnetic deviation. Humans cannot cause this. Summers are lasting later, but so are the winters. On Easter 2007, it snowed & sleeted in the Conroe, TX, area. This used to be short-sleeved weather. Today (April 14, 2008), it was 38 degrees in Houston. That is much colder than the traditional mid-60s to mid-70s. These are characteristic of the earth shifting on its axis, NOT global warming.

6. Some records indicate the earth was warmer at the time of Jesus than it is now.

7. Studies announced last week indicate that smog near the coast cause an INCREASE in ozone production. Previous studies indicated that pollution destroyed ozone, causing an increase in warming. The scientist are contradicting each other.

SUMMARY:  Global warming is greaty exagerrated by people looking for a purpose in their own life. Global warming is going to happen with or without humans. It's the natural course of the planet. It's already happened several times before humans were around.

Answer 6

its all a cycle.

in the 30s it was hot

in the 70s it was cold

in 2000 it is warm

Now it should start getting cold again!

Answer 7

global warming? what global warming. propaganda is alive and well and living in al-gore. let me ask a question. to those of you who agree with gore if he asked do you suppose that you could drink a cup of kool aid too? just asking.
