If there is global warming then how come?

Question

it snows every winter in Colorado and a lot not just a little

Answer 1

Because God hates Coloradans and loves skiiers.

Global warming can actually result in increased precipitation in some areas, including snow, because it results in different weather patterns and changes in climate that can be more favorable for precipitation.  Global warming doesn't mean that Antarctica is going to turn into a jungle in 50 years, it just means cold places will be a little less cold.  The problem is that in some places, that slight decrease will be enough to melt a whole lot of ice, which will flow into the sea, raise sea levels and cause all sorts of problems - and that's just one of the many negative impacts of global warming predicted by scientists.

Answer 2

Its so Al Gore can still have a vacation home in Aspen and spend all those millions and millions hes made off of all the fools who believed him!

Answer 3

Have ever thought about all the smoke that we release and even think that maybe it is affecting earth go see some REAL pictures from space of earth it is yellow in some pics D:

Answer 4

there is but it doesn't effect colorado that much because of their high elevation. And it happens because of the greenhouse effect wich i sure hope you know what that is!

Answer 5

well its hard to explain but there is cant u see all the disastrs we have gone throught besides it probably snows there but not like it use 2

Answer 6

But it didn't used to snow that much. Am i right? Global warming changes climate in general. Where it didn't snow at all it snow's now, temperatures are getting higher and higher, parts of the world get hit by huricanes and they haven't been hit before etc.

Answer 7

Don't know about that but it's 70 in North Carolina in Feb that's not right

Answer 8

Becuase of pollution and the ice in greenland if thats true. Well in 2000 everyhting bad was happening most cities in the usa were having floods and tornadoes and everythnig else. But people litter and polluiton makes the sun come out most likely and if it gets to hot then the ice in greenland will melt and cause i huge flood to earth and then well all drown but after noahs ark god said ill promise not to flood the earth again. so it might be a metorord of corse IM SCARED

Answer 9

cause it used to snow more in co but not as much now but still a good amount

Answer 10

It's a question of statistics and of the average. Because of the adaption of people on slowly changing situations they do not recognize it. The cause is man-made by half and natural by half. 7 billions of human on earth produce a lot of heat and gas. The human beings are obviously unable to behave in a reasonable way...

Answer 11

because its called "climate change" and climate change DOES NOT STATE that the entire earth is gonna get warmer all at once

Answer 12

Same in most northern climates.  We get a lot of snow every year in Minnesota and neighboring Wisconsin.  Every year we have January/February, which hovers around zero or below.  It will be -9f on Saturday.

I've done the experiment:  It's -40f out, you boil a pot of water inside the house, bundle up and take the water outside, toss the water up in the air, and nothing falls down, it just evaporates immediately.  Now that's cold!  (at -40f the oil in your car is more like mayonaise than it is oil)

Keep in mind that some of the great lake states, get lake affect snow...  But for the most part MN, WI, yeah, we get snow and COLD every year.  Really only have 3-4 months of summer.   :-(

Answer 13

global warming his happening little by little in some situations and locations. i live in new england, and the snow amounts this year and 2007 in winter have dropped low. we used to have several feet of snow every year, but last year we only had .5 inches by January! so, it will take effect soon enough if the world doesn't start preventing global warming.

Answer 14

If the Earth is billions of years old, then how is a few degree temperature change over a 20-40 year period evidence of global warming? It sounds like a questionable theory to me.

Answer 15

because this world is messed up

Answer 16

Global warming - the planet is getting progressively hotter over time - is caused by a process called "greenhouse effect". In simple terms, this happens becuse the Earth's atmosphere is trasnsparent to the sunlight, but not to the heat that comes off the earth as sunlight heats it up.

So the heat is held inside the atmosphere, raising the temperature. This is a bit like the way a green house lets light in an out but stops heat from escaping.

Answer 17

Global warming has only lowered the planet's temp by about 2 degrees.  That's very serious stuff, but it doesn't impact CO much, as it's more than cold enough for snow there; the 2 degrees makes no difference.

Answer 18

Global warming is a myth created by people who want to stop development

Answer 19

Global warming has nothing to do with snow, only temperature.

Its 55-60 degrees in the debt of winter in NY right now.

SOMETHING IS WRONG.

Answer 20

Cause I believe it's really atmospheric depletion from 80,000,000 barrels of oil burned every 24 hours (that's 80 million).  Can you imagine the size of a fire that makes if you could witness it all burn in one place?  Fire is fire whether it comes from the exhaust pipes of users (addicts) or is burned in an open pit.  It's serious atmospheric thinning and poisoning.  Such as Mars atmosphere is thin and extremely temperature variated (over 300 degrees difference from day to night due to a thin atmosphere)  This, I believe, is the Truth that the Government cannot tell you or risk losing the Power of their money and military and citizens.  And  it is all avoidable with the use of natural energy sources, that's the governments genocidal crime out in the open for you. I would seperate water from fecal contamination and harness the Jet Stream  with vertical tunnels to capture it and distribute it in larage transportation tubes on the planets surface.( Constant winds of over 150 mph are available at heights beginning at 3,000 feet.) etc. etc.

Answer 21

blame china

Answer 22

Because the heat in other parts of the world evapourates all the water, it has to fall to earth somewhere, just means that the deserts of the world are getting larger at alarming rates

Answer 23

Because it is global warming and not Colorado warming. Somewhere else is warmer so the average for the world is not cold.

And because it can be quite warm and still snow.

The REALLY cold places, like Antarctica, actually see very little snow. It just never melts there and so builds up over time.

Answer 24

There is no global warming going on.. the earth has its fluctuation, where the temperature will rise and fall. Its nothing to worry about. Just checks and balances.

Answer 25

because its not that sudden, its a gradual warming. the temperature is probably on average a lot warmer than previous years but since its so cold, i can still snow

Answer 26

global warming doesn't equal local warming

Answer 27

Winter snowfall and precipitation in places can increase during periods of global warming. As temperatures rise, evaporation increases. More water vapor in the air leads to increased precipitation in mid to high latitude regions. However, due to the global warming, summer temperatures increase or average annual temperature raises causing the snowpacks to melt early. You may have noticed that, yes, it still snows, but the snows are melting earlier and plants are sprouting and blooming earlier. (I see this happening in Idaho along with birds that usually don;t winter here)

For more information than you ever wanted to know check out Realclimate.org and look at the FAQ. They take on all sides of the climate debate and there are resources for scientists and non-scientists.

Answer 28

Global warming is a political hoax. In the 1970s it was a new ice age, then it was acid rain. Jimmy Carter said we were going to be out of oil by 2000. Do not believe it. If you are still in school you may have to say you believe to get a grade, but be smarter than you r teachers.

Answer 29

Altitude and the Rockies says's it all.

Answer 30

because global warming has not affected that far up north yet

Answer 31

werent there alot of dinasours in colorado
