With China and other countries having the coldest winter in 100 years, does this change your opinion on AGW?

Question

With China and other countries having the coldest winter in 100 years, does this change your opinion on AGW?

Answer 1

I am pasting my answer here from another almost identical question..

The weather in any given particular place at some particular time has nothing to do with whether global warming is happening.

It's about general trends over fairly long periods of time on a global basis. Global warming because of the change in weather patterns that it would cause, might make one place colder and another place hotter, one place wetter and another place dryer. It is very complex and cannot in any way be explained or proved or disproved by looking at such specific things like whether it is cold at your house or cold in China.

That's the problem with so many people who want to put in their two cents and don't have a clue what they are talking about. Ignore such stupid questions and their stupid answers.

Answer 2

Sharon - thanks for the link. I took the liberty of looking at the ice cover of the planet as a whole, unlike you, who only shows the southern hemisphere to try to prove your point. Please see the graph concerning GLOBAL ice coverage and notice the downward trend...

Answer 3

Nope.  I'm aware of the difference between weather and climate.

Thanks for helping make my prediction more accurate though.

Let me start off by saying we (my family and I) live 100% off of the grid and are completely self-sufficient with a 0% Carbon footprint. I believe this is the first step anyone can make “help the environment”. Once you convert your own life style to a greener more eco friendly route, you can start helping others.

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)

If you interested I offer several DIY alternative guides to walk you step by step threw Greener living, how to run your car on alternative fuels and being self-sufficient, at agua-luna com or

Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at  www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.
