So much for "Global warming" They are just guessing agree/disagree?

Question

I have NEVER seen an April as cold as this here in the UK it is -2c outside where I live.

Answer 1

err...how old are you dennis dear? this weather is what i remember from my childhood as normal.

if you want a meteorological explanation;

la nina is a weather event that occurs once or twice a decade, the current one is the strongest since 1985. the arctic oscillation was also in its strong phase for the first time in 30 odd years this winter, this has combined zzzzzz oh i cant be bothered.

ITS WEATHER!!!!!

Answer 2

Disagree.  The National Academy of Sciences doesn't "just guess".

This is just one below average winter, which doesn't mean a thing.  It happened in 1982, 1991-1992, 1999-2000.  EVERY TIME global warming came back stronger than ever.  Proof.

As long as we keep making greenhouse gases in enormous amounts, global warming will dominate in the long run.  It's simple physics.

Answer 3

its snowing in manchester freaky

Answer 4

I don't se how anyone can honestly think pumping so much CO2 into the air isn't going to affect the earth, but the changes take a long time.

Answer 5

"well global warming is a misnomer because it'll acutally get colder and then warmer.....ah we don't know what we're talking about"

that'd be the typical response. it's just a global cycle of weather

Answer 6

Gordon Brown requires the myth to go on, he can then thump all air travellers with increased taxes.

Answer 7

Yes, just guessing

Answer 8

global warming messes with all types of weather and makes for extremes in temperature and storms.  It very well could make it colder. I know it sounds weird but do some research and you will learn a lot.

Answer 9

Read Nigel Lawson, Daily Mail, today, it,s all a con to squeeze more money out of us.

Answer 10

There is no proof of global warming it is just a guess.

Answer 11

It seems the current warming cycle ended a few years back.  Yes, they are guessing.  We may well be headed into a serious cooling spell now.

It was all about making us pay 'carbon offsets' - a big scare to suck the money out of us.  Even if we go into a cooling spell, we won't get free of all the new taxes.  They'll just say it is to fight 'climate change' instead of warming.

Answer 12

"global warming" is a fact.

It is simply the remminants of the last ice-age. Logic says it gonna melt sometime. The question, is how quickly.

Never seen april this cold? gee, I thought t'were mild. Seen it hail/snow in july? (I'm UK too)

peeps worry about the ice-caps far too much... it is really a minor thing on the scale.

I'd worry more about the magnetic poles flipping... as they are beginnin to. And so far, almost every time that has happend most life has been wiped owt...

The temperature fluxuations are explained by the presence of the 'gulf-stream', and the fact that this stream of air isn't geo-static, it moves. Like that big-*** storm back in the 80's. That was caused by a shift inna gulf-stream. It'll happen again too, like most weather phenonomon, it has a cycle. Even if we can't predict it yet.

Answer 13

Really?  "NEVER"?  You don't say what part of the UK you live in, but the average low (this time of year) for London (which dropped down to 1C last night) is 2C.  That's only 1C below the average low.  I somehow doubt you haven't seen it colder than this before in April, unless you've only lived in the UK for a couple years.

GLOBAL COOLING is REAL WE are FREEZING

World needs more CO2, environment confab told

'There will be significant cooling very soon,' asserts solar scientist

You could have heard a pin drop at the Hong Kong conference designed to persuade the airline industry to cut back on its production of so-called greenhouse gases to fight "global warming."

The "Greener Skies 2008" conference had just heard from David Archibald, a solar scientist asserting that climate change is mostly dictated by solar cycles, not carbon dioxide levels, as conventional wisdom suggests.

Archibald didn't just tell the group not to worry about carbon dioxide emissions. He told those gathered they should figure out ways of increasing CO2 output.

"In a few short years, we will have a reversal of the warming of the 20th century," Archibald warned, according to CargoNews Asia. "There will be significant cooling very soon. Our generation has known a warm, giving sun, but the new generation will suffer a sun that is less giving, and the earth will be less fruitful. Carbon dioxide is not even a little bit bad – it's wholly beneficial."

One observer at the February conference said there would have been fewer jaws dropping had Archibald stripped off his clothes before the assembled.

"Plant growth responds to atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment," he continued. "In a world of higher atmospheric carbon dioxide, crops will use less water per unit of carbon dioxide uptake. Thus the productivity of semi-arid lands will increase the most."

But the real shocker was not just his unorthodox view of carbon dioxide. Unlike most of those in the conference, Archibald doesn't see a future threat of global warming, but an imminent and dire future of global cooling.

"We will need this increase in agricultural productivity to offset the colder weather coming," he said. "It also follows that if the developed countries of the world want to be caring and sharing to the countries of the Third World, the best thing that could be done for them is to increase atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. It is the equivalent of giving them free phosphate fertilizer. Who would want to deny the Third World such a wonderful benefit?''

After Archibald's speech, Martin Craigs, president of Aerospace Forum Asia, went to the microphone and asked: "Don't you have Al Gore's e-mail address?" "How can you be right and 2,000 scientists wrong?"

IT is a scam for GLOBAL CARBON TAX PAID by YOU to WORLD BANK

By Ed Cropley

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Developing countries and environmental groups accused the World Bank on Friday of trying to seize control of the billions of dollars of aid that will be used to tackle climate change in the next four decades.

"The World Bank's foray into climate change has gone down like a lead balloon," Friends of the Earth campaigner Tom Picken said at the end of a major climate change conference in the Thai capital.

"Many countries and civil society have expressed outrage at the World Bank's attempted hijacking of real efforts to fund climate change efforts," he said.

Before they agree to any sort of restrictions on emissions of the greenhouse gases fuelling global warming, poor countries want firm commitments of billions of dollars in aid from their rich counterparts.

Answer 15

well i am sitting in my shorts under a fan at 4 in the morning

Recently In Chiapas ,and Tabasco in Mexico .more then a million people became homeless overnight with water coming up to their roofs ,because of rains from super evaporation from the forests,this had never happened before. Millions of animals died.

In India 3000 people died because of super storms .

.A few years ago in Europe 3500 people,died during a heat wave ,many of them in France .

Right now the average death toll annually is 150.000 due to Global warming

. these figures are already out of date and are expected to double soon.

In Northern China millions of people are running for their lives because regular dust storms so far have buried 900 villages under the sand and the whole of northern China is turning into a dessert.

The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year all around the edges ,like a slow burning fire shriveling up their neighbors In the Kalahari huge rivers have dried up and thousand of species are gone due to their habitats disappearing .

The biggest changes are invisible at micro biotic levels species are becoming extinct ,others are multiplying ,

This affects the insect populations that follow ,and changes in that ,affect all that follows in the food chains ,

in the last 300 years half of the planets forests have gone

and in the last 50 years

half of our wet lands ,rain forests and ice fields .and 3000 species of animals .

Global warming is but a component, in a group of destructive forces at work such as ;deforestation,desertification,soil and water contamination ,irresponsible or wasteful utilization of bio resources and air pollution.

which we are responsible for ,

We are now witnessing a mass Extinction of animals and plants of Biblical proportions,equal since the disappearance of the dinosaurs

.

There is a series that you can download easy ,called

bbc,Planet earth by David Attenborough.

About 15 ---700mb videos

this is a photographic team that has been filming Nature stories all over the world ,for a very long time .

In 3 of the episodes called --the future--saving species(this one covers extinction and the importance of species)

the future--living together ,ice worlds ,

they compare films they made before of places and species to what they are filming now in the same places.

Many scientists give commentaries as well .

Whole migrations of animals involving millions have disappeared in only 20 years,

in one place in the tundras ,in just 5 years

CHECK THE CLOCK FOR THE SPEED

If we want to save ourselves as a specie ,we have to address

the problems

We can correct most of the destructive factors

with disciplines ,changes of attitude and habits,alternative energies ,sustainable design etc.

All species are in Danger eventually,and each is important because all of Life on this planet is interrelated even if it is not obvious

Imagine that the Eco system is a wall and each specie is represented by a brick

Every brick taken out weakens the wall ,and eventually it will collapse ,which brick is the most important ???

they are all important and we are one of the bricks

Answer 16

guessing ???

i believe that many of the higher ups in the environmental movement know it is a scam.

that is why they do not cut there own energy use.

Answer 17

<sarcasm on>

you just don't get it do you?

Global warming causes it to be hot

Global warming causes it to be cold

Global warming killed the dinosaurs

Global warming made me run out of mayonnaise

<sarcasm off>

Answer 18

With global warming ,will huge areas of Russia and Canada become habitable?

Answer 19

Just guessing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 20

Disagree.............

Answer 21

Go kill a polar bear, cut off its fer and use it as a coat.

Agree.

Answer 22

d**n it. Stop asking reasonable questions. Repeat the mantra, "Global warming will kill us all. Al Gore is a god." Do this 1,000 times a day. Then you may understand the meaning of the universe.
