Question

The temperature falls to a record 40 below zero in Minnesota. Where's Al Gores Global warming now!?

Answer 1

It's funny how people are saying "we had record highs" etc. If it is truly "global" warming wouldn't the whole globe be warming up? Not just certain locations?

And for the alarmists who oppose to "deniers" using Gore in their answer/question. That's they way alarmists are. They people and info. when it suits their need.

Answer 2

Oh, don't you know?  That doesn't count.  Only HIS data counts.  I see that the NE is getting some more "global warming" in the next few days.

Answer 3

Global warming is not a blowtorch that eliminates winter. It's a small but steady increase in AVERAGE temperature that will cause great damage if we do nothing.

For a short time, in some places, winter weather can overcome global warming. But, long run, over the whole Earth, the AVERAGE temperature is increasing. NASA data:

We need to do something about that.

When a global warming denier cites Al Gore, he's simply admitting he has no scientific argument, and is just appealing to emotion.

Answer 4

He played on our fears.  Gore is an idiot.

Answer 5

It's not really that cold in Minnesota or Wisconsin. Your data must be flawed. Watch an Inconvenient Truth for local forecasts.

Now here's some pictures of polar bears dying.

Answer 6

be careful....your complete ignorance is showing!!     global warming will cause extreme ranges in tempratures....from very cold to very hot.........im so afraid that you are going to experience just what global warming will mean in your life time. you will see huge uncontrolable wild fires and  weather seasons out of sync.       this will affect the food supply and huge migrations of people.     suppose the rain forests dry up and burn?        oh yes  ...its real alright...and  there may not be anything anyone can do about it.    so go on your merry way and  ignore it.

Answer 7

And last week we smashed a record HIGH by like 8 degrees in NC. So what?

Answer 8

Huh?

This is about the dumbest question I've seen as yet.

Answer 9

Now they are calling it a "Climate Crisis". It's all just a scam to make Al Gore and associates more money! d**n, I wish I would have thought of it first! LOL...

Answer 10

Think about it... how much would the one degree of warming so far affect Minnesota's winter temperatures of 40 below?  

A few days or months of weather, in one location, say nothing about long term global climate trends, do they?

You're asking about weather (local, short term variations), not climate (long term trends that determine what survives in your local ecosystem, including the food that you eat).

As noted by NASA, NOAA, etc., Northern Hemisphere temperatures are temporarily being affected by a strong La Nina cooling cycle:

The El Nino / La Nina cycles do temporarily overpower and mask the underlying gradual warming trend, but they do nothing to stop it.

The progression in scientific understanding is explained in detail by a physicist/historian on this site:

The Discovery of Global Warming

The author Spencer R. Weart is Director of the Center for History of Physics of the American Institute of Physics (AIP) in College Park, Maryland, USA.  His own informed conclusions regarding global warming are posted here:

Here are summaries of some of their latest research into carbon cycle science and what to do to mitigate the damage, which is being conducted across more than a dozen federal agencies:

Answer 11

First, there is a distinct difference between weather and climate.

Also, climate change does predict some places WILL get colder. (yes, they are specific as to which ones as well) and if you look at the overall GLOBAL temps, you will see the entire planet is in fact warming. This is despite the fact that minnesota is cold, like it always is.

Answer 12

He is not in Wisconsin either. -17 this morning with windchills reaching -46.

This is the worst winter since 78-79.

Answer 13

You dare to doubt the weather channel, science channel, discovery channel and all those sunday night specials?

Hey, if they say it enough on TV it must be true right?

Global socialists have an agenda? it can't be True.

Don't you trust unproven theories with your life?

Answer 14

Way to take the big picture into consideration.  More cherry picking by the pollyannas.
