Is this yet another confirmation of global warming?

Question

everything outside is covered in ice.....i'm sure somehow global warming is to blame

Answer 1

Does the fact that many deniers think the presence of winter and weather patterns disproves AGW prove that some humans haven't evolved properly?

I'd say absolutely.  I'm sure poor choices in breeding are to blame.

global warming

We definitely didn't start global warming, but we definitely do contribute to it now.

Natural gas (or Methane along with other thanes) for example, is completely a natural contributer to global warming and is derived pretty much the same way as oil. ie. Matter (animal, plant etc) decomposes over time resulting in a anaerobic (hope I spelled that right) decay of non-fossil organic material / gas (natural gas or methane).

One problem with global warming is that the concept is so vague in the minds of the people. The critical interpretation is basically how it’s explained in school and the news. However most of the public see global warming connected with the ozone and pollutants which cause harmful greenhouse gasses, etc. therefore investigating and fighting for things like alternative energy (ie. Solar, wind, hydrogen, ethanol, biodiesel, etc)

Greenhouse gases are real and do contribute to global warming. Think of the different gas layers like ozone (o3) that circumference the globe as the clear plastic on a greenhouse. Longer rays of light from the Sun go in and reflect off different thermal masses bouncing back and creating shorter lengths of energy that cannot exist the plastic barrier. These beams then just continue to bounce around inside the green house until they’re finally absorbed completely (some do escape but very few), thereby warming the greenhouse greatly even in cold temperatures.

Basically there are 2 ways that this reaction (or lack of) affects the planet. Global warming and global cooling.

1. as we add to the gases in the stratosphere, where the ozone layer is (Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, etc), we add to the plastic of the greenhouse, trapping more short wave length energy and heating the earth more.

2. as we deplete the ozone (with chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs), we allow more long wave length energy, which bounces back out to space without heating any thermal masses on earth, thereby cooling the planet.

It’s pretty easy to see the results..

Melting ice sheets & glaciers

Floods & droughts

Great hurricanes & cyclones

Seasonal extremes

Seasonal phenomena’s

Species extinction

New & resurgent diseases

There are many ways to stop both global warming and cooling from accruing or at least slow them down until we can discover a way to reverse it, but Stop burning fossil fuels is the biggest.

I currently own 2 converted h2 vehicles which run on 100% hydrogen and 1 EV (electric vehicle), not to mention our home is completely off the grid, using alternative energy (solar, wind, etc)

Answer 3

Its winter and there is ice and/or snow, yep global warming... lol.

Answer 4

As you can see by some of the answers you received that people do believe that increased snow and ice is caused by global warming. Yet they don't seem to want to understand that the poles refreeze and if the winters in those areas are cold enough will in fact increase not only in diameter but also in the ices thickness. Than if you add a bit of snow fall to the equation the ice will get even thicker and the glaciers will get bigger again.

So don't try to reason with the believers when they don't want their belief system questioned.

Answer 5

It is, it changes the ocean temperature and affects the flow of the water which affects the clouds, the way they absorb water which can cause major storms and weather systems which can cause ice.

The problem is, it isn't supposed to happen where it happens or as severely as it happens.  That is the point they are trying to make.

Answer 6

it must be.. i felt some wind on the way to work this morning, there wasnt any yesterday, i think that was global warming.

Answer 7

ya sounds like global warming

Answer 8

Global warning is more complicated than just everything outside is covered with ice. You can dig more information about global warning in the following website.
