Is all this snow and cold weather in California proof of Global "Warming"?

Question

Or do we need to bring those guys back from the '70s that were worried about a New Ice age.

Either way I am miffed because I eat like 15 avacados a week and they already cost too much.

Answer 1

I think it is people that are still wet behind the ears that believe the Global Warming Hype, if most of them  grew up in the sixties and into the eighties and even before, have seen this kind of B.S. in the past.

Answer 2

No.  The current weather in any part of the world - significant or not - is not proof for or against global warming.  There was no quick answer.  It took years to assemble the data which proves beyond reasonable doubt that global warming is taking place.

Your mention of the cooling about 1950 is very interesting.  This seems to emphasise the case for Global warming because if the downturn in temperature had gone the way that was expected we would be much cooler now.  What happened?  Why did it level out and then rise instead of continuing down?

Answer 3

Global warming is a faerie tail made up to blame man for the warming of the climate that was caused by the Sun.

Now the Sun is cooling, those that have invested in the story need to maintain the great lie.

Answer 4

Bob's pontifical dogmatic statements to the contrary (did you know there was a consensus on lobotomies too, Bob?) it is proof of CLIMATE CHANGE!

And it will appear as "proof" over and over again, just as the warm winter last year was "proof."

Answer 5

No, it is proof of winter.

Answer 6

no it is the first wave of the coming global cooling

Answer 7

the al goreical sez so..i do remember the fear in the 70s of new ice age...now its warming...hope i live 20 years to see the ice age come back again

Answer 8

Indubitably. Once the entire globe is covered in a sheet of ice the AGW cargo cultists will be completely vindicated.

Answer 9

Short term weather in one place can overpower global warming - for a short time.  But long term we're going nowhere but up, until we take serious action.

This graph shows it nicely.  Some years are unusually warm (1998), some unusually cold (1999).  But the long term trend is undeniable, unless you reject science and data (some do).
