Is it because of Climate change?

Question

I have lived in Canada for most of my life. I just wanted your opinions in this... Lately the weather forcasters have gotten many forcasts wrong... Like they said was going to rain on a sunny day... It been happening quite a lot. I wanted to know if it has anything to do with global warming or climate change...

Answer 1

according  to me it may be global warming

Answer 2

I am 77 and the weather has always tested man. The forecasters computer is not 100% correct. In my early part of my life the weather was much worse. The dust bowl ,brown snow and mud rain...

Answer 3

Yes, our climate has been affected.

Answer 4

Are you suggesting that the weather forecasters got it right most of the time when you were growing up?

Answer 5

No.  Generally, weather people are accurate only some of the time.  They have the equipment that allows them to make an educated guess to what will happen in X-amount of time down the road, but as we all know, weather changes constantly and often, without warning.  Climate change has nothing to do with it.  Ever since the dawn of the televised weather personnel, they haven't been able to accurately predict what will happen 100% of the time.

Answer 6

Bad weather forecasting

Answer 7

Well...as one northerner to another, I'd say no.  Daily weather happens whether predicted or not.  But agw global warming doesn't happen, regardless of predictions.

Answer 8

Weathermen using the computer models developed by the AGW adherents instead of those developed by meteorologists cause this. When you are working with models that do not consider all potential causes it is very difficult to get correct results as you have noticed. If they would return to the models and methods used by the national weather service here in the US they would be much better off because theirs uses solid data not fictional data.

Answer 9

Meteorologists based their "predictions" upon past weather patterns.  And with the climate changing, with global warming and excess CO2 emissions being the primary suspect, it would make their predictions a little off.

Something I saw on the weather channel not too long ago.

Answer 10

"forecasters have gotten many forecasts wrong"

What are you talking about?  

No one has ever been able to reliably predict weather.

No one can now, either, not weather, not climate.

Answer 11

it could be. the climate is changing and we don't know everything about our weather yet. but what i want to know is how can these people predict and end to the earth if they can't tell us when it will rain.

Answer 12

The weather forecasters are sometimes incorrect. The weather can change rapidly without warning and probably has been doing so before climate change was even a problem.

Although, climate change has been known to cause rapid shifts in weather that aren't considered "normal" so yes, it might have something to do with climate change. Or, it might just be that the weather monitoring technology is malfunctioning in some way.

Answer 13

The Global warming movement is all about control and money.  The pundits want you to believe in their new religion (I say religion, because the facts do not support their conclusions).  

CNG cars are the most efficient cars on the road.  Honda builds a Civic EX for 25K that is greener than the Prius.  Fill up for 93 cents per gallon.  That leads to the obvious question why is it the only one?

Natural gas deposits occur on every land fill in the United States - not to mention untapped reserves on the east coast.  

It makes you wonder why government subsidies are going to Ethanol - based on corn which does nothing more than drive the price of food up.  Sugar cane is 8 time more efficient.  It is hard to quantify whether you have  a net energy gain when using Ethanol.  Most studies indicate a deficit of energy - you have to put more energy (petroleum into it than you get out).  The environmental impact is marginal at best.

Looks like a transfer of wealth from Petroleum interest to Farm interest, and associated politicians in the mid-west.  Anyone ever heard of ADM?

Last regarding Ethanol - cars are not designed to run on it.  Sure it will burn, but the compression ratio should be increase to around 12:1 to get max power verses gasoline 8:3 to 9:1. You cannot do that on the fly.

Volcano's do spue out a significant amount of CO2. Actually 300 times more than man every year. The entire Environmental Movement is concentrating on this new propaganda line of CO2 as a means of exercising control. This an other means (Gasoline, and Food) have been how they have been manipulating public opinion to believe in their cause.

The SUN is what warms the earth, and it is in an active state. It has been projected by 2015 cooling will be re-initiated as the cycle is expected to end.

What really causes global warming is the lack of cloud cover. When the Earth is showered in Solar winds not as many clouds develop allowing the sun to radiate more. However contrary to published opinion the earth's troposphere is not heating up as would occur if carbon was accumulating like Venus.

Answer 14

it's the global worming

and everything were doing that doesn't help

were just feeding the fire.
