How do proponents of Global Warming explain the fact that I'm in the middle of a blizzard?

Question

Maybe not quite a blizzard, but a whole lotta' snow! I'm in Ohio, by the way. We've set a 20 year record for snowfall. Where's Global Warming when you need it?

Answer 1

I'm in Ohio too! Southwest Ohio, to be exact. Around here we've gotten about.... oh, at least 10 inches of snow here, 8 inches there with all those snowdrifts! And the blizzard warning last night was pretty weird.

Answer 2

this is one of the reasons that global warming activists have changed the moniker to global climate change. they some how think that if they control what man does, they can control the global environment, or at least that is what al gore and his cronies would like you to believe. man made global climate change mongers are about power and control more than anything else. if the environment was truly at the forefront, every global warming treaty talks would not force only developed nations to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions. it would force ALL nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Answer 3

i hear ya sister. i am in the next state over to the west and we also have a small blizzard going on.  it takes 34 seconds for the temperature to raise .000000001 degrees F.  for the temperature to raise six degrees on the planet earth,  it will take 6,633 years to happen.

Answer 4

The same way I would explain that it is +15C in Calgary and the snow is gone.

Answer 5

Funny isn't it?  If we have a couple of warm days in the summer it proves that global warming is occurring yet for some reason record snowfalls and low temps also prove global warming is occurring.

It must be nice to have a theory so bullet proof.

Anyone else find it amusing that someone 100% off the grid has access to the internet.

Answer 6

Well they claim that global warming has affected weather patterns.  It must be so as this storm is coming from Texas.  When did texas export snowstorms???  Well we got one now and I have already shovelled twice today.

Answer 7

Climate is not the same thing as weather. This is the simple explanation, and it holds. Climate is about long term weather patterns; weather varies every day. El Nino is a climate phenomenon, not a weather phenomenon.

Answer 8

Notice that it is now referred to as climate change rather than global warming. The proponents of this theory like being in a position where they are able to make reason unrecognizable. "Warming causes cooling," for instance. They are certainly doing their best to cover all their bases. Think about what all has been blamed on the warming. I hope the people of this world will turn out to be a little smarter than I thought.

Answer 9

They can't, they will just state that "this is weather", not climate.  You know, that whopping .4 degree temperature rise over 140 years.  It also doesn't matter that the temperature charts start from the end of the Little Ice Age, you know, when it was much colder!  We are still not at the mean temperature for the planet over the last 100,000 years.  They talk doom and gloom, but the planet (and humanity) survived just fine in the thousands of years of warmth before the Little Ice Age (roughly 3 degrees warmer than it is today).  It's amazing that so many people have fallen for this scam.

Answer 10

The whole man-made global warming theory has some serious holes in it.

What I found ironic is that they year Al Gore published his book, all of a sudden there were no major hurricanes hitting the US.

Climate is always changing.  The question is if we can cause it, and I think the jury is still out.  A major volcanic (e.g. Yellowstone) eruption would wipe out any impact we have on climate.

The question isn't if global warming is happening, or if we're causing it.  It's how to deal with change.  Change always happens anyway.

Answer 11

You have a blizzard because it's Winter.

Climate change will increase precipitation in some places.  If some of that precipitation comes during winter, you'll get more snow.

If the planet has warmed and it's 22 degrees out instead of 21, would you notice that it's warmer?  

We're only seeing the very beginning of the warming.  CO2 continues to have an effect on climate for 1000+ years..  The next several degrees of warming will affect water supplies, food supplies, and species survival as well as have the temperature and weather changes you might expect.

Here's NASA Director Dr. James Hansen's take on this cold winter:

"The large short-term temperature fluctuations have no bearing on the global warming matter or the impacts of global warming..."

Answer 12

Weather factors can overcome global warming for a short time.  It happened in 1982, 1991-1992, 1999-2000.  EVERY TIME global warming came back stronger than ever.  Proof.

As long as we keep making greenhouse gases in enormous amounts, global warming will dominate in the long run.  It's simple physics.

Answer 13

That is the effect of Global Warming, eventually from my understanding , The earth will get warmer in places that were cold like Siberia and Cold in places like the Bahamas.. wouldn't that be weird to live to see. Instead of Ohio, having snow in winter it will have warm weather(my father was born and raised in Cleveland(Maple Heights area)Ohio )

Hope I have helped you answer the  question, if not sorry sweetie,

Answer 14

I think we all better get out the hairspray cans and start running around the snowbanks and pray for Global Warming to kick in! lol Maybe Mr. Gore would like to come sit in a snowdrift with us (Providing his Lear Jet can land and get his SUV through the roads)  :P
