How does global warming cause extreme weather conditions, if I live somewhere cold and gloomy will it get even

more cold, and if i live somewhere that was already warm, will it get even warmer? I live in the uk, the weather is pretty miserable (rain, a little amount of snow, and general coldness), has this been influenced by global warming?

  1. A meteorologist explained it to me this way. Extreme weather events are driven by the temperature difference between the equator and the poles. Since the poles heat up or cool down faster than the equator, warmer weather will cause fewer extreme weather events, not more.

    Climate scientists are well aware of this, we are being conned by the media and politicians - nothing new there


  2. It's not global warming, it's climate change. Some places are getting cooler. And while some places are having extreme weather, others have had a great couple of years. Here in Boston the summers have been cooler and the winters warmer. So far.

    Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

    We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

    Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

    One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

    Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

    Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

    1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

    2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

    It’s pretty easy to see the results..

    Melting ice sheets & glaciers

    Floods & droughts

    Great hurricanes & cyclones

    Seasonal extremes

    Seasonal phenomena’s

    Species extinction

    New & resurgent diseases

    There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

    I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

    If you interested I offer several DIY alternative guides to walk you step by step threw Greener living, how to run your car on alternative fuels and being self-sufficient, at agua-luna com or

    Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

  4. It's called climate change and it's a natural part of the Earth's environment.

    The reason for all the arguing and finger-pointing can be found in Agua-Luna's spamming.

    He cites that he's "Off the grid" but he's using the InterNet which would be impossible without outside power.

    He claims to be green but he's using a computer that requires energy and petro-chemicals, is non-renewable, and is toxic to the environment.

    Agua-luna is using all these globalw warming threads to make money buy luring you to his site to buy things. Just as Al Gore is making money off of books, speeches and films. The rules of being green and carbon footprint-less aren't supposed to apply to these people as they are leaders and should be allowed to use all the energy and be as wasteful as they want.

    In case you can't tell, I'm getting real tired of Agua-luna spamming this site with the cut-and-paste advertising he uses over and over. I've been hitting the "Report" button all night.
