It's So Cold Because of Global Warming

[TomBrooks]

The reason it's so cold in the Northern Hemisphere right now can be explained by Global Warming. If you don't understand that, just ask Al Gore.

"Global Warming" hasn't been used in the scientific community for a good many years. If you want to try and make inane one-liners, I suggest you look into "Climate Change."

We had several days in a row with highs in the mid to upper 60's in Denver (but it snowed last night). Global warming is happening. Glaciers are receding world-wide. To what degree it is due to human-generated CO2 and to what degree it is due to natural causes is (somewhat) debatable, as is what (if anything) to do about it.

If you live less than 100 feet below sea level, you might want to think about moving.

The reason it's so cold in the Norther hemisphere right now can be explained by winter. It happens every year about this time.

I'd explain winter to you, but it would probably confict with your belief in a flat earth.

I think global warming is a residual effect from all the dynasaur farts 65 million years ago. Either that or all hot air from Chicken Little types.

There may be global warming, but don't worry about it because it will take 100 years for enough glaciers to melt to cause any problems.

Nuclear missiles will be launched way before the melting glaciers raise the sea level to precarious levels.

Brace yourself for this but the reason its cold right now is......get this, its winter time. I know the cold seems extreme to you because a week before it got cold it was like 80 degree for a week in the middle of Jan. Note, there are three other seasons, fall, spring, and summer.

This statement makes no sense unless you mean "less than 100 feet above sea level". But even the true believers behind the IPCC report are predicting a sea level rise of only 9 to 88 cm by the year 2100. (See here .)

[The once and future king]

You realise what a rise in 88cm would mean dont you?

Im assuming you dont because you use the word "only".

Huh?? Do you really mean to use this as evidence for global warming?

In that case, it's been snowing a few days here in Carolina recently... we must be going back to the ice age.

I left work in Green Bay one morning (third shift [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]) and with wind chill it was 30 below. Hasn't been that cold in a long time. Individual incidents are not scientific evidence of a global scale event.
