Global Warming... pffft.

I know the average world temperature is the highest it has ever been and the U.S. is pretty warm this Summer, but around my neck of the woods it has been downright dreary.

For the past month or so the highs have been in the mid to upper 60s. Every morning I've had to use my wipers because of heavy fog. And it looks like the next 10 day forecast is more of the same. :sigh2::rainon:

Where's mah Summer?? :sunny:

On a bright note, my homebrew appreciates the cool fermenting temps. :D

Deal! But only for a week or two. I think after that, we'll both be tired of it. It would be nice to use my patio furniture before autumn...

Here we've been over 100 most days for the past two weeks at least.. of course with lots of humidity! Id kill for 70 right now lol!

Global Warming = raise in the average global temperatures.
Effect = very unpredictable new weather patterns. Hotter summers in some areas and colder winters, more severe storms. So yes, global warming can make it colder in some places.

:rofl: How did my tongue-in-cheek rant post turn into a lesson on global warming?

I'm not very warm either :confused:

Some people actually believe that global warming means it's going to be warmer everywhere, all the time. You would be amazed how many people fundamentally don't understand it. I realized your post was a joke, but there are plenty who would take it seriously and go 'yeah, global warming isn't happening', lol.

I didn't take his post to mean that, but I happen to be one of those who doesn't drink the global warming Koolaide.

Remember folks. "Global warming" isn't PC anymore. The PC term is "climate change".

;D

My take on the entire thing? The climate goes through fluctuations and cycles. Mom says that the summers and winters we've been having remind her of how the seasons were when she was a kid.

You from Venus?:rolleye2:
It's HOTTER than hell here!!!!!:8::8:

The current weather isn't the primary indicator.
It's the CO2 levels and ocean surface temperatures.

We are in the middle of a slightly warmer period in the middle of an ice age. Exactly what this huge CO2 spike is going to do remains to be seen, but there is absolutely no doubt that it's going to do something that causes climate change. It's already begun to. (Plus, it's wiping out the shellfish).

When the climate changes, this causes problems for us. Big problems.

It makes NO DIFFERENCE whether we caused it all, or contributed to it, etc. It's irrelevant. We're going to have to deal with it regardless.

Sure, we're in the middle of an ice age. Sure, the Earth has been a LOT hotter than it is now...magnitudes warmer. Life at present is adapted to the current climate range. When that changes, everything else has to change too. It's going to be pretty ugly in the meantime.

Life will go on, but it will never be the same...not even close.

I think you need to correct this.
We are NOT in the middle of an ICE AGE!
We may be in the middle of a warm period, but by no meens an ice age.
The world Glaciers are vanishing faster than ever, this does not happen in an ice age.

Very Deep man, I am in Texas it's been over 100 for 3 weeks now and a cold spell here is in the 90's I will gladly change places with you, I am originally from New York and this whether is killing me :crying:

We are still IN the ice age that began at the start of the Pleistocene. We're in an interglacial period in the middle of that ice age.

During non-ice age periods, the Earth doesn't have ice, even at high latitudes.

A few melting glaciers on mountaintops doesn't make up for the fact that there are still miles of ice over Antarctica.

"The current ice age, the Pliocene-Quaternary glaciation, started about 2.58 million years ago during the late Pliocene when the spread of ice sheets in the Northern Hemisphere began. Since then, the world has seen cycles of glaciation with ice sheets advancing and retreating on 40,000- and 100,000-year time scales called glacials (glacial advance) and interglacials (glacial retreat). The earth is currently in an interglacial, and the last glacial period ended about 10,000 years ago. All that remains of the continental ice sheets are the Greenland, Antarctic ice sheets and smaller glaciers such as on Baffin Island."

Yep, as much as I whine about the cold weather, I think I can only handle the heat for short periods. I can always bundle up when it's cold, but there's only so much I can take off in the heat... at least that's what the cops told me during the last heat wave. :P

Too funny

Its been raining here today. We had maybe 3 really hot days and the others were warm, wet or just mild.

hmmm all this heated discussion makes me thirsty for a plastic bottle of water :D

anywho... I dont buy into the media propoganda..... its a crock of spit :D

and if earth is in an ice age then the earth heats up all organisms die... then the earth re-heals its slef and ready for round two? I DONT THINK SO its just the earth going through a cycle.... and havnt any of you seen futurama before? the earth is still around in 3000 :rofl:

Thank God I live in a tropical country! ( no heat mats, no humidity enhancers needed) =)) We're pretty much humid and warm all year round! If only there were more snakes here... we have the perfect set up! sigh XD

It's hot. But cool at night. I work night shift. I am cool.

Ps. Pffft, global warming.

I'll trade you! We're getting record highs. Horrible thick humidity...Ugh.

Whew. I'll trade you, too! I work nights and it's hot and sticky even then.

It's 90 to 100 here everyday... :tears:
