  1. well the leaves here are already falling ..... so NO!!

    PSST THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WINTERS, WITHOUT THEM  EVERYTHING WOULD BOIL UP


  2. no look at the places that got snow last year and think back a few weeks ago Sydney Australia got 6 inches of the white stuff they showed the kids playing in it on the news

  3. god i hope so. (i live in michigan and i hate snow.)

  4. No. Winter is created by the earth's relationship to the sun. GW doesn't change that.  GW is a very slight increase in an annual global average so they may be a little warmer on average in some places, but really barely noticeable in any one particular location.

  5. In certain regions climate will regulate and some locations will experience greater ranges of seasonal and temperature change.


  6. Not if the last two are any indication.

  7. This is actually a great question.

    Simply put, no.  The seasons (aka winter) exist because of the tilt of the earth.  The increase in temp predicted by global warming ... isn't nearly enough to eliminate winter, MAYBE just make it milder.  About the same as moving from New York to someplace further south.

    But there are folks that think global warming will make for more exteme weather, that could include more extreme winters.

    Actually within the global warming scenario, milder winters are never mentioned, because virtually everyone would like a warmer winter.  And they would wonder why that is "bad".

    Asking people to shell out more in taxes and lower their standard of living ... for COLDER winters, is political suicide.

    I lived in Michigan where the winters can be really cold, then moved down south where the winters are great IMHO.  But the folks here in the south still b**** to high heaven about how cold the winters here are.

  8. Well the last little ice age killed millions in Europe alone and it was a very mild one compared to the average. The one we are in right now is also very mild and about mid way between the cold of the little ice age and the heat of the medieval optimum. So right now we are still in a cool period, the 1930s were much warmer than it is now remember the stories of the great mid west dust bowl.

  9. Yes. Santa Clause will be using a car this year due to lack of snow. If winter time temps rose 50 degrees don't you think summer would to?. We would ALL die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Except Al Gore

  10. yap i hope so  

  11. No, they just become milder and don't last as long.  

  12. No,Not fully.

  13. well it can go eather way if people cutt down on pollution there may or may not b winters, but if people dont stop the pollution the world will end because of the green house effect :(  but i may not b right so if u still not sure 2 just go 2-
