Answer 1

I wonder if you people ever read everything you post....

**************************************...

The China Meteorological Administration said the weather was the coldest in 100 years in central Hubei and Hunan provinces, going by the total number of consecutive days of average temperature less than 1 degree Celsius (33.8 degrees Fahrenheit).

But it expected brighter weather ahead, though fog could become a problem and temperatures at night would likely still be below freezing, slowing the thaw.

"It is still necessary to remain alert for possible low temperatures, frozen rain, snow, freezing and heavy fog," said administration head Zheng Guoguang.

He added the cold snap had caught the country off guard, in an area unprepared for such heavy snow. But climate change could see more extremes in weather in China, Zheng warned.

**************************************...

Did you see the part where the administration head stated "But climate change could see more extremes in weather in China", or did you just tune it out because of your hate for Al Gore? Yes, the Chinese understand climate change. It doesn't matter what Al Gore thinks of this, it matters what scientists think of this. Gore is just a messenger.

Answer 2

follow the money trail

Al  Gore owns a carbon credit company.

His house consumes more energy than most neighborhoods but he justifies it by buying carbon credits from his own company

Answer 3

Climate change is always about statistical averages over time. Atmospheric ash from coal causes global dimming, which cools the globe.  China is one of the worse countries at causing global dimming. China undergoing one cold year might mean that another part of the globe -- Africa, Australia or North America might have an unusually warm year.  Climate change is complex so don't poo-poo it just because you don't understand it.

Answer 4

dont be stupid

Climate change means there will be more dramatic weather patterns.. more extreme lows.. more extreme highs.. more storms..  etc..

its not JUST about warmth

Answer 5

Nut jobs like Gore always have an excuse at the ready - like, because of global warming, China is having the coldest winter in 100 years.  Remember, they are nut jobs...

Answer 6

LOL , xactly!! Thats what I thought  I guess all this lightbulb changing is working.. When I was a kid in gread school we were taught that we were going into a new ice age!! so who knows. but I still believe that we should take care of the environment and he still has great ideas on how to do it.

Answer 7

Didn't you here, Al Gore is hiding from the truth, so you will not here his c**p until this summer, when it starts to warm up due to season changes.

Answer 8

haha!

i wonder what the enviro-weenies will have to say about this?

Answer 9

its local temps, not global. if this was sustained for several years this argument may have some merit but currently it just a dumb argument.

PS try looking at the global temps over a few years. http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2007/
