How many uninformed "It's cold in China" questions today?

Question

Anyone with a little knowledge and honesty agrees that global warming is neither proved or disproved by any short-term regional (that includes entire countries) HOT or COLD spells. Yet the uninformed continue to clutter the yahoo board with the same stuff over and over again.

So among the regulars, how many posts do you think we'll see today by asserting that somehow the cold in China proves global warming isn't occurring?

Post your answers (no cheating by counting and waiting until midnight) and when time allows I'll count them up and see who gave the best answer.

Answer 1

7 including all other countries or regions (let's not forget they use local regions i.e Texas lol as evidence of GLOBAL CLIMATE lol)

Just China? 2

d**n, looks like I'm out already heh

I should have read previous questions but I didnt realise there'd be as many as there was...I think I gave people too much credit.

Answer 2

I'll take 21 with an option for 6 more.

Answer 3

I love how those of us that don't buy what Al gore is selling are the uninformed crazys.  All of you that belive the man that inveted the internet and the sientists that are making bank off of "global warming are the ones that know what they are talking about.  In the late seventies they were screaming ice age and now it's global warming.   The fact is the temps change and yes some day I am sure it will be hotter ( not because of man but because of  mother nature) and some day it will be colder and so on.  That is how are world was long before man got here  and it will be that way long after were gone.

Answer 4

I was going to low ball it and interestingly the next question was exactly that so I guess I will have to go with 22.

Answer 5

There have already been 3 or 4, but none by the 'regulars'.

I'd guess that total we'll see 10, by the regulars probably 2.

*update* - as of 3pm est it's 10 total, including 2 seperate regulars asking 2 each.  No more China questions and my prediction was perferct!

Answer 6

You have to consider all data. Not just data that supports your position.

Answer 7

I will say 9.

This is strategy. You see, they understand many people don't actually read, but only scan. The more headlines that are out there that insinuate there is no GW, the more doubt is spread. That is what they want, doubt. They don't need evidence, just doubt to continue ignorance regarding the subject, and therefore they ensure inaction.

Mike S. - That is a bold accusation. I don't think you live in the south...

Answer 8

Obviously not enough to convince you the global warming theory may have holes in it...

Answer 9

And it's funny that I posted the news article about China being cold because I figured I see a counter to it.  It's not the counter argument that I'm answering, I guess it's the answers that this counter is getting.  (why can't a regular post about weather in China?, does that disqualify my opinion?)

I don't believe in Global Warming.  But according to all the answers to this particular question:  

Global warming people believe that deniers are stupid, ill informed local yocals, who live down south, who didn't graduate from high school let alone college, who voted for Bush, support the war, drive really big gas guzzling SUV's, litter all the time, support big oil, support capitalism, support our troops, who don't recycle, and brush their teeth with the water running, etc....  Yep, look down at us...  Because apparently it's all OUR, and by association Bush's fault.

The same data regarding global warming keeps getting posted here, day in and day out.  The coldest winter in 100 years in China, go ahead and throw out the new data, because it doesn't jive with your thinking, don't even be objective because it totally throws off the 'theory'.

And, be sure to insult me, because that only proves my point.  It's why I posted the news about the coldest winter in China in 100 years, just so that I could see how y'all would react.  

Again, I have nothing wrong with the question or the questioner, I have a problem with the answers.

Answer 10

I HERD ITZ BEEN SNOWINN THER 4 LIKE A YEARZ STR8!!11

If they'll swallow evolution, global warming is nothing...

Answer 12

Ummmmmm..... 18

/wild guess

Denying global warming is like denying gravity.

Answer 13

4, they will eventuality find out there is ice in Antarctica........ more "proof" that AGW is a con.

edit. i thought they would get get tired of it. looks like im out.

bloody ground hog day

Answer 14

LOL Yeah, arguing with global warming deniers is like arguing with creationists or anti-evolutionists. The same tired old utterly ignorant questions asked again and again. Of course when you decide what to believe and then search for evidence that "supports" your beliefs, there really isn't any other way to go. Still, depressing.

I'll guess, 107?

Answer 15

Dude, two just popped up within 20 minutes of each other, and I see several below.

My prediction is between fifteen and twenty. And that's maybe too low, depending on whether a certain conservative talk radio host mentions it today or not.
