Did global warming cause it to snow today?

Question

It's 30 degrees and snowing now in Floyd, Virginia. It is normally about 30 degrees warmer this time of year, and I never have seen snow here so late in the year. Will global warming freeze us all to death?

Answer 1

no; it snowed 3 days ago

Answer 2

lol.. yea and bush is planning on his next big attack on the U.S. soon i hear.

all this global warming b.s. is a bunch of propaganda..

edit: whoever gave me a thumbs down..apparently you didn't see the overwhelming sarcasm i had in that statement.

Answer 3

No. Global warming means what the name itself means, that the average temperatures around the whole world are increasing. The fact that it's snowing when it shouldn't normally may or may not have anything to do with global warming. These series of severe climatic events happen normally at every 10 - 15 - 100 years, depending on how severe they are. So, it could be caused my global warming and the changes we are causing to the environment, or it could just be a climatic event that would happen anyway....

Answer 4

Warming can cause massive changes in Jet Stream,cause wild weather extremes.Expect more.

Answer 5

The theory of man-made global warming is false, it is based on falsified or incomplete data.  Lets take a look at what the global warming crowd claims, they say that the human output of CO2 is causing the greenhouse effect which is warming the planet.  To see how outrageous this claim is try to guess how much of our atmosphere is made up of CO2, the correct answer is 0.03% of our atmosphere, almost nothing.  How can such a small part of our atmosphere have such an effect on our entire planet, correct answer it can’t.  Greenhouse gases exist naturally and have always been in our atmosphere.  Greenhouse gases such as CH4 (methane), N2O (Nitrous Oxide), and water vapor are all put out into the atmosphere naturally in far greater concentrations than humans could ever match.  Let’s take a look at water vapor, water vapor makes up between 1-4% of the atmosphere far more than CO2.  Water vapor is given off into the atmosphere due to evaporation, so evaporation causes much more global warming than humans ever could.  Other natural sources such as volcanic eruptions and the decomposition of plant and animal matter also put far more greenhouse gases than humans ever could.  

So what is causing global warming?  Well first of all the earth may not even be warming.  http://wwwghcc.msfc.nasa.gov/temperature...  This is a collection of global temperatures collected by NASA that shows a general cooling trend especially around the polar ice caps.  So assuming the earth is warming what could be causing it, the sun.  Look at this graph also put out by NASA: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/... it shows that the intensity of the sun is directly correlated to global temperatures and recent studies have shown that the sun is now warming than ever before, coincidence? I think not.  Also consider that the other planets in our solar system, Mars in particular, are also warming: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/...

You have to keep in mind that the earth goes through natural cycles of warming and cooling, take for example the ice age and later warming of the earth enough to melt the ice.

Advocates of global warming will try and post evidence but the fact is most evidence for global warming comes in the form of general statements like “think of your children/grandchildren” that try to guilt you into agreeing with them.  These ads are devoid of scientific proof and seek to toy with your conscience.  Every once in a while you will see a graph submitted as evidence mostly from http://www.ipcc.ch/.  Take a look for yourself, I search in vain for proof of global warming on this site, sure there are dozens of graphs showing the same data: CO2 rising along with global temperatures but where are the graphs for other greenhouse gases that make up a greater percentage of our atmosphere and are put out naturally, or graphs showing the percentage of greenhouse gases put out by humans verses the gases put out by natural sources.  These graphs are not included because they disprove the theory of man made global warming.  The IPCC has had a questionable past, it has published a deliberately falsified graph, the so called hockey stick graph, which left out a period of warming during the 1400’s.  This warming period in the 1400’s was more dramatic than what we are seeing today, and it took place long before humans industrialized.  This falsification was proven and a reprint of the graph appeared in the journal Nature.  You may have seen claims that there is a scientific consensus on global warming like this one: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/fu... this is an absolute lie, do you need proof? Here http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm the signatures of over 17,000 scientists who disagree with the theory of man made global warming (check out the report on this site it does an excellent job of disproving global warming).  You may have also seen reports about ice cores supposedly proving global warming, this is not true.  Here is the truth about ice cores http://www.john-daly.com/zjiceco2.htm.

You may have the question why anyone would support this obviously false theory, the answer is money.  Average people with no scientific background are being converted to the global warming crowd by the dozens due to the repression of evidence against global warming.  This mass of people is the reason why notable people are jumping on the global warming bandwagon.  Politicians are supporting global warming for votes, scientists are joining for media time and grants, and CEO’s are pledging their allegiance to gain customers who want to shop where the environment is being supported.

You may also wonder why I care, you may think we can only help the environment if we agree with global warming what’s wrong with that?  I want to distinguish between global warming and helping the environment.  I have no problem with environmentalist causes, in fact I support them, but global warming is taking this idea to the  extreme.  If you were to follow the guidelines set forth by people like Al Gore your lifestyle would be, these people want to tell you what light bulbs to use.  The main reason however is money, why waste millions on studying global warming when we could be rebuilding third world countries and helping the poor.  Global warming is a fear tactic used to get your money and your vote by unscrupulous members of society.  Hopefully this will just fade away like the global cooling scare which was brought upon us in the 1970’s by the same sort of people using the same tactics.  A last link  http://www.worldclimatereport.com/ possibly the best resource for answering many of the questions raised by global warming.  I urge anyone who believes in man-made global warming to look into some of the resources I have presented.  Do not sacrifice your money, time, vote, and conscience to the greedy members of society who are blinding you to the truth for their own greed.

Answer 6

Yes, global warming will freeze us all. Be afraid, be very afraid. Only AlGore can save us, go watch his movie, "An Inconvenient Spoof ". We all must be fitted with f**t plugs to keep us from adding methane to the air and causing more global warming, and in the interest of diversity a special San Francisco model will be offered at no extra charge. AlGore should be first to use the earth saving f**t plug, the San Francisco model, to show his commitment to solving the global warming problem and to diversity.

Answer 7

When the sun burns out in 40bn years or so, we're all doomed anyway.

Answer 8

Yes

And it's global cooling.

they changed back, I guess you didn't get the memo.

Answer 9

maby, global warming produces weird weather patterns

Answer 10

No, global warming is not causing it to snow.  Much of the ice caps at the north and south poles are actually melting, because the temperatures have been rising.  The last few summers around the world have been the hottest recorded.

  The ice at the north and south poles reflect sunlight back into the atmosphere, but with less ice remaining, more heat and light is trapped and is not reflected.  This is causing the rise in temperatures.  

  So no, don't worry about global warming causing snow.  In fact, it is just the opposite.
