Answer 1

Answer 2

The term Global Warming is a little misleading. While there is a gradual change towards a warmer climate based on average temperatures, "global warming" is really referring to the disruption in the planets natural weather patterns due to pollution disrupting the atmosphere. The result is that our climate will start doing more and more "weird" things, such as snowing in Baghdad, floods, hurricanes, drought, etc...

So, to answer your question, yes...excessive and abnormal snow storms can result from global warming.

Answer 3

Global warming can increase the amount of evaporation. An increase in evaporation would lead to an increased amount of precipitation.

Precipitation will fall as rain, sleet, or snow, depending on local temperatures.

Answer 7

Yes, warm and cold climates are caused by "global warming", so are droughts and floods, and hurricanes and lack of hurricanes.

Everything can be blamed on global warming because if the climate does something, then it's considered "wacky" and it's proof that global warming exist.

I've even heard from believers that earthquakes are caused by global warming.
