Is the record cold weather in the U.S. and China an indicator of global warming?

Question

Is the record cold weather in the U.S. and China an indicator of global warming?

Answer 1

No, these instances don't count to the GW crowd.  Only their data is significant.   But since the con is being exposed for what it is, now they are saying that record cold is global warming.  LOL

Answer 2

those that champion the global warming "Certainty" will say that the cold temperatures ARE due to global warming...go figure...part of that "trust me, I know better than you" attitude of the Environmental Community

Edit

What is that below???..."It's an indicator that you are trying to turn short term, relatively local weather patterns into conclusions about global patterns. That way you can fool the less discerning readers into thinking you are actually asking an intelligent question."...I thought that was what the "Global Warming" crowd was doing...given the long history of the Earth, a few hundred years of "data" does not a trend make...its called statistics...oh, but I forgot, "the sky is falling!" so "YOU must change your life, you evil, evil for profit *gasp* people!"

Answer 3

There are no contradictions in science.  Cold doesn't prove it's getting warmer.  The cold proves it's getting colder out.

Global warming is over.  Scientist failed to fully understand the complex workings of the climate.  They came to a conclusion before they had all the facts.

It's the Sun that controls the warmth of the Earth, and now the Sun is starting to cool off.  Now many scientist are looking to a period of global cooling.

Enjoy the warmth while it's here.  You'll miss it.

Answer 4

It isn't record cold that's being reported, it's record snowfall. Global warming will technically increase precipitation, and that includes snow. But it will also cause more precipitation to fall as rain (which means less snow fall). Add to this an extremely wide range of natural variability in annual snowfall, and I'd say it isn't yet possible to discern any trends in snowfall activity.

On the whole though, precipitation does seem to be increasing in some areas (it is also decreasing in some dry areas all ready ill suited for rainy conditions), according to the IPCC.

Answer 5

I live in the U.S., in Austin, Texas, and we have not had record cold at all. This winter has been unusually mild. And last summer was unusually cool. So for the last year we have have much milder weather than usual. Don't the global warming alarmists always say that global warming will make the weather more extreme?

Answer 6

Considering the areas that the two countries occupy (the Northern Hemisphere) and it appears that the majority of the land masses are in the same hemisphere, they would be an indicator.  Moreso because of the 'Ring of Fire.'. . .  

Australia is 'down under,' in the southern hemisphere, and they're doing just fine.

Answer 7

no. US and china are not the world and this is only short term not long term.

also global warming dose not mean that every place on the earth will warm it just means that in general the earth is warming.

Answer 8

No.  Local weather is just local weather.

How noticeable would one degree of warming that took place over the past 100 years be against normal weather fluctuations?  Not very noticeable.

Global warming does not somehow magically eliminate local weather fluctuations, either up or down.

Answer 9

It's an indicator that you are trying to turn short term, relatively local weather patterns into conclusions about global patterns.  That way you can fool the less discerning readers into thinking you are actually asking an intelligent question.

And maybe you haven't figured it out yet but the debate is not about whether there is global warming or not.   There is.

Answer 10

It's called Winter and if records were never broken, we wouldn't know such things existed.

And if you don't know by now that individual weather events, no matter how large of a region they cover, are not evidence for or against global warming, then you might want to take a basic course in logic.
