well i'm not denying the exsistence of global warming, but the earth has gone through periods of massive warming and cooling before.

why do you say that? because the US has lots of water?


Canada has more fresh water than the US.

It;s just a shame that the Great Lakes are a cesspool and very far from "Fresh" water.

global warming is true in the fact that yet the earth is getting warmer be it .5 a degree over 10 years big deal and temperatures have varyed over time like crazy this could just be another fluctuation mother nature is a powerful force just like humans and it has its own path and it can even touch pee pees or tits

Amercia is a continent, i beleive the country is called United States of America.Weather patterns often come from the Northern not real america aka Canada, thus influencing the weather that you do want.

this was at a time when there was a global cooling trend(40's-70's i think) just ask you parents and they will tell you about the feared "ice age" that was supposed to hit. so you can't take this peice of info too seriousley as the earth could have had a waaay warmer winter or spring.
anyways, it's just a cycle that the earth goes through, and right now i guess it's in a warming trend, then it will go to a cooling trend in 20 years. don't start stocking up on emergency reserves just yet!

Exactly. Its an El Nino year, so the Jet Stream, which usually pushes up through the Canadian border near the arctic circle, just flows pretty much straight across the US. This means it picks up no cold air from the Arctic and only moves warmer air from the Pacific. I don't doubt that there really is global warming to a degree, but even the shape of that curve suggests a relativley straight jet stream.

i met a guy in october who does not (I repeat - DOES NOT) believe in global warming.

This was the first encounter I had with a non-believer, ever. I didn't actually think these people existed, but there ya go. He is in his 4th year of university at UBC for geology and with all that expensive and lengthy education he has the balls to argue that global warming is not happening, and will not happen.

How can someone be so blind when all the facts are right in front of them?

Great job sherlock homes, you solved the mystery!! Good job shit head. We all know it exists. Sorry that your region of the USA is 20 degrees warmer than its suppose to be, because global warming isn't causing that. Oh and its like -5 here right now, global warming wont actually be effecting our snow and skiing for many years my friend. You ignorant fucks need to realize what is really causing it to be warm and dry, because it's not global warming.

right now the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is three times what it has ever been...EVER, for the past 6 ice ages.

if you think that's just nature taking course well you pretty wrong, and there is a lot of data linking population growth with increase in CO2 with increase in global tempurature. (in fifty years it is predited to be 5 times higher due to all the developing nations mostly)

in 2040 it is predicted that the north polar ice cap will be almost gone, makign sea level rise 20 feet, most coastal city will be under water of have floods. almost a quater of florida, and a lot of manhatan, (including ground zero) billions of people will have to be relocated.

actually if everyone drives hybrid or low emisions cars, uses public transportation more frequently, switches to clean energy, uses energy star appliances and energy saving light bulbs we can bring down the green house gases to a normal state. but the chance that enough people will actualyl care is slim to none, so you can say farewell to skiing in most places.

The cycles do exist, but they occur over thousands of years, we are not in a warming trend that is natural when over the last 60 years greenland was melted so much that in another 20 it will be gone. That is humans fucking nature's cycle

wow, your non-specific color coded map really seals up the argument for you there... nice work.

As it's been stated here, warming and cooling trends constantly take place in different places all over the world. Specific locations maintain an average temperature as been proven by numerous climate research studies, the most recent being in Canada's northern territories. Ice melts for 5 years, then it piles up for 5 years. Just as polar ice is receding in the North, Antarctica's ice sheet is growing. A one day snapshot of a warm front over north America hardly proves your point.

Be leary of who you get your "global warming" info from. Most people spouting off "day after tomorrow" theories like Al Gore are no more of a Climatologist than the local weatherman. A person calling themselves a "scientist" holds very little credablility if they are not an actual climatologist.

Oh man, I have to wipe the tears from my eyes...

Youv'e been going to too many Al Gore slideshows of the day after tomorrow haven't you?

For your information the level of CO2 was millions of times higher during the last ice age.

Methane gas if anything is the biggest contributor to "global warming" right now, not CO2. The amount of methane being released into the atmosphere from decay in oceans and lakes from plankton and animal feces on dry land outweigh the amount of CO2 being released into the atmosphere thousands of ppm to one.

Sorry, but I live in Montana and I have experienced 1 dust storm and that was in december when a storm system was moving through. We got massive snow the next day.

And, while were on the subject of Montana, our warmest winter, and driest winters were in the 1920s and 1930s. You can get that information off of www.noaa.gov

I love your non researched claims. a million times higher in the ice age? man you are retarded. CO2 is produced by burning fossil fuel, such as methane.
We blame CO2 for global waarming because there is a DIRECT correlation between the global temperature average and the levels of CO2, not methane.

Do you know how much CO2 is released in a combustion? Tons more than what animals fart.

So take your conservative bullshit and never...ever try to convince someone with that again. You are the reason we are losing our winter.

every single research done on global warming has concluded that 1. global warming exsists, 2. humans are the main cause of it. (about 1000 first one being back in the 50's i think)

all you people denying it are being breainwashed by republicans and corporations who are afriadd of loosing profit.

greed runs the world.

wow, it's easy to get you socialists' panties all up in a bunch.

As for your attack on my "unresearched" eveidence here you go kid, check out this month's Popular Science and Jebediah Reed's article about Methane's role in global warming. "a greenhouse gas 20 times as potent as carbon dioxide, methane is being released intoe the atmosphere five times as fast as previously thought, accoring to findings from late 2006"

And as for the atmosphere having millions more parts per million CO2 during the ice age than right now, look it up in any grade school geology book. There was much much more CO2 because there were no where near as many plants, lichen, or plankton to convert it to Oxygen. It's really simple, or did you skip 8th grade science class when they taught CO2-O2 conversion?

Lastly, if you think that more CO2 is dumped into the atmosphere than methane than you really dont know how methane is released. " Methane emissions have three principal sources: prodcution and transportation of coal, natural gas, and oil; anerobic decompositon of municipal wast in ladfills; and raising livestock. smaller sources include combustion of fuossil fuels, rice culitivation, and industrial processes." -Energy Infomation Adminsitradtion Annual report on US emission of greenhouse gasses.

You really show your age and inexperience in the real world if you think your little car adds to global warming more than all of those sources combined that dump a 20x more harmful substance into the atmosphere.

Pwned, or whatever gay webspeak the kids say these days.

BMills if you your head wasnt so far up Rush Limbaughs fat ass you would no the real facts and not your conservative bullshit.
The claim you make about C02 levels in the ice age being higher than they are now is completely absurd. It has been proven by real scientists that during the last ice age C02 levels were at 190 ppm while it was at 290 ppm in 1900. Since then it has increased to 378 ppm in 2004. As you can see, c02 levels have gone up nearly as much in a century as they did over 21000 years. That sounds a bit rapid to be part of natural cycle. Also I got my info from a reliable source, san diego state university, unlike you who got it from jebediah reed, a man also known for other great pieces of scientific literature like "how scientists are invigorating the surfboard:.

it is all onn the website.
from 21000 years ago to 1900 the c02 ppm grw at a rate of.00478 ppm per year.
from 1900 to 1959 it rose at a rate of .44 ppm per year
from 1959 to 2004 it rose 1.36 ppm per year.
you can yell all u want about cycles, but that kind of increase goes way beyond any cycle.

If you are 18 and a conservative you are an idiot
If your are 30 and still liberal you are even dumber


I love reading people un-supported/un-informed claims about "global warming" - Listen up chicken little temperature fluctuations from season to season are NORMAL...Now go push the pause button on your Al Gore DVD and listen up - We are in a warming trend - factors influencing it are Vast and not soley due to humans. This warming trend is similar to what happened between 900bc-1200ad...Fuck dude - england used to grow wine grapes in the 1300's - We are comming off of a mini-iceage 1400-1800ad - these trends come and go - Do we afect it? yes, but not as much as you think -

now get a life and go skateboard - I for one welcome global warming - more energy = more storms - more snow - more surf - more mudslides - more beach homes being washed away

all you people who are saying that global warming doesnt exsist, do you honestly think you are smarter then the rest of the worlds scientists?

how many researches and scientist deny global warming? those hired by exxon. NONE!

EVERY SINGLE SCEIENTIST AND RESEARCH DONE IN THE WORLD OTHER THEN THOSE FUNDED BY GAS COMPANIES SAY GLOBAL WARMING WE ARE EXPERIENCING IS A THREAT AND HUMANS ARE THE MAIN CAUSE OF IT!

(thats 1000 researches vs less then a dozen.)

i'd rather go with the odd rather then a few money hungry companies.
