If we are having global warming why is it snowing in Nevada this morning?

Question

It is April 15, 2008.

Answer 1

GOOD question------ possibly GW is NOT true.

Answer 2

the ice caps melt and move cold air gusts

Answer 3

Amen, sister!!!

Answer 4

Weather changes and goes through periods. SO does the Earth. Does not mean everything is going to go pop. If anything it could be the Sun getting hotter?  WE cannot control that.  I am not worried about Global Warming. It will be God that pulls the plug on the Earth.

Answer 5

Because global warming does not mean that it will always be warmer everywhere no matter what. It simply means that the average temperature of the surface of the planet is increasing, which could have all sorts of effects on the climate of the planet.

Just because it is snowing in Nevada doesn't mean that Global Warming isn't real, just as when it goes up to 65 during winter here in New York State it doesn't prove Global Warming to be correct. The scientific data support the theory, and there is a scientific consensus on the issue.

Answer 6

It only means that its evident, global warming doesn't mean warming the earth as a whole, it means that its putiing snows on deserts and making rainforests drier, its like switching things in a different way, Texas has been having snow which doies not happen from the last 50 years, and now Nevada is having it right now.

Answer 7

It's called weather.  

The past rate of 0.1 degree of warming per decade does not magically banish seasonal changes or local weather.

Answer 8

that is ridiculous ,we are having a heat wave

last week with temperatures from 45 to 50 degrees centigrade and it has just rained 2 months ahead of the usual time.

I am sitting in my short under a fan full blast all through the night

Answer 9

Yea!    And my stocks are in free fall even though we're not in a recession.      Does one necessarily preclude the other?   Not really.

Answer 10

Just one below average winter, which doesn't mean a thing.  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.
