Global Warming my Ass

[J-Max]

As a lot of you may have already known, most of the UK has experienced its worst ever Snowfall along with lowest recorded November temperature.

We are experiencing Global Warming!? lol a load of Goverment hot air to scare us.

[Icy]

Cold air coming down...

Anyway, I agree. While pollution and environmental hazards in general are very serious issues, Global Warming was 76% BS.

The winters go in cycles. People knew a few months ago this Winter was going to be 'bad' (because for instance the amount of berries on trees was abnormally high, a sign my next door neighbor says), its early and the UK don't know what do with snow.

So we get a few colder winters in a row, and you forget that the natural cycles for heat don't seem to match the past, they're more extremes.

[Legend Zero]

Its hotter in the Summer and colder in the Winter...I thought that was Global Warming in a nutshell.

[Mehmani]

Global Warming exists, although it is heavily exaggerated by the media.

[Daft Innovation]

It's 'climate change' nowadays.

>_>

[Sander]

As I've said before on threads like this, global warning/climate change/whatever it will be called next week, is a natural process. Humans just have sped it up a little.

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

There is no "global warming", there is only "global climate change", which is expected to change the climate. However, it's been shown with oceanic and ice temperature tests that there is a natural cycle for the fluctuation of the Earth's temperature, and that it follows a basic (but not exact) pattern. Temperatures go up steadily, and then they plummet.

Basically what everyone else had said, just with more words about science and charts.

Looks like parliament never learned about earth in 3rd grade.

[Legend Zero]

For what its worth NBC Nightly News just said that scientist announced the Arctic Ozone Hole has shrunk this year. =/

[Seta]

Dude, the news say that here in Finland, it might get permamently even colder than now.

Speak about global warming...

[GenzoTheHarpist]

Global Warming is called warming because the average temperature all over earth is increasing... anyone who's ever tried to do a weather forecast however, knows that weather is a complex system. The way warming actually impacts individual areas of the earth varies greatly.

[b]WHAT HAPPENS AFTER AN ICE AGE?

[/b]The ice [i]surely[/i] does not melt. It just stays there, I swear to god.

[NeoDemonX]

Here in in Canada we are having no more cold winters like its use too and almost no snow too.

I CANT EVEN BELIEVE THAT

HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE

WHAT THE HELL

[Marisa Kirisame-ze]

I remember someone telling me that it'll get significantly cold because all the ice in mountains melt and it falls to us and stuff like that.

LOLOL.

But yeah, it's also been freezing here too.

[Darth Duelist]

Well Global Warming isn't that effective yet.. Wait for a couple of decades, you'll notice a differrence..

[~/Coolio Prime\~]

Leave it to YCM to contain a large ratio of people that don't believe in Global Warming. :<

[Lt. Colonel Remo]

^ inoright?

also, antartica is increasing in sea ice so therefore it wouldn' really be "global" warming would it?

[Cin]

It naturally increases and decreases, but the decrease seems to be alot larger than the increase, mainly on the west of the Island. The Arctic is facing the same issue which is worse. And don't forget the Polar Bears are starting to drown (more often) because Ice is too far apart for them.

Yeah, I'm sure we will. And then wait a couple of centuries, and if we don't have an ice age, you can go ahead and rip my body open and eat me.

YCM also has a fairly large self-proclaimed atheist population. CORRELATION?!?!?!

Actually Antarctica has lost ice recently, especially from the Western side. It naturally increases and decreases, but the decrease seems to be alot larger than the increase. The Arctic is facing the same issue which is worse.

No, the natural cycle is get hotter, get colder, ice age, get hotter, get colder, et cetera (unless you believe Earth is only 6000 years old, then there is no such thing as an ice age). What is happening because of carbon emissions and our destruction of the ozone layer, not only does the time between hotter and colder get significantly shorter, the weather changes get more extreme. So now it's hotter, really hot, colder, really cold, ice age, hotter, really hot, et cetera, and the time between hot and cold cycles is shortened.

First of all: climate change indicates long-term alterations to overall averages. A cold winter doesn't disprove global warming any more than rolling a 1 on a d20 proves that the die you rolled was actually a d4.

Second of all: global warming [url="http://www.reportingclimatescience.com/news-stories/article/global-warming-shares-blame-for-europes-cold-weather-says-climate-scientist.html"]is actually believed to be a contributing factor to this harsh winter[/url]. Climate is more complicated than "GLOBAL WARMING THEREFORE ALL TEMPERATURES AT ALL TIMES ARE RAISED EQUALLY BY A SINGLE CONSTANT".

Third of all: the scientific consensus is that global warming resulting from mankind's actions is indeed occurring. But hey, I'm sure you thirteen-year-olds on a Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom forum understand meteorology better than the entire scientific community.

Global warming goes hand-in-hand with global dimming or whatever it's called, meaning the sun is slowly being blocked out by the same emissions that are keeping heat trapped in.

And I'm not disagreeing that global warming exists, since we are getting hotter (ice is melting zomg), but I still have yet to see that mankind is [i]causing[/i], not contributing, to global warming.
