Similar questions: weird weather nowadays due global warming.

I don't think so In fact, there's really nothing particularly weird about the weather. Many people are trying to convince us that global warming is causing significant changes in our weather, that's it's the cause for the increase in hurricanes, etc. Just checking through the archives at the NOAA website pretty quickly disproves this. Hurricanes were much more active than now about 60 or 70 years ago.

I think global warming is something that needs to be studied and taken seriously, but there's been quite a bit of alarmist nonsense that just isn't supportable by the facts that surrounds the global warming debate. The issue regarding extreme weather is one of them. I would recommend reading the book State of Fear by Michael Crichton.

It's an enjoyable thriller which does a good job of explaining the known facts about global warming. I think everyone who is interested in the issue should keep an open mind and really try to understand what's going on rather than clinging to one particular point of view whether or not the evidence supports it. State of Fear is a good introduction to that kind of thinking.

Global warming probably isn't helping. Warming probably isn't helping matters but it's not the root cause nor is it the largest reason for the weather. According to some research I did in college, this isn't the first time the earth has warmed... it has happened before and may have been the root cause of the last ice age.

Here's the catch... it took millions of years for the earth to warm to it's warmest point last time. However, the earth wasn't even close to having a population that it does now. So, is the earth warming?

Yes it is... Is it as big of a deal as the media is making it? Not right now no... Should we be aware and start taking measures to avoid it? Yes, but to an extent.

Now the weather... I don't know where you live but I am in NC and we have had a fairly mild winter. According to the local weather people and the forecasters at my local military base the mild winter this year was caused by two primary things. First was El Nino.

This is a weather pattern in the Pacific Ocean that has effects on the weather worldwide. The second reason is because last year was a pretty harsh winter. (I don't know if I hold much stock in this reason, but it's what they are telling me) According to them, the climate has a way of balancing things out... if one winter is really cold, the next will be fairly mild and vice versa.To answer your question... yes I am sure warming does have an effect, however I highly doubt that it's as much a factor as the media would want you to believe.

Not Really but sort of. There's a difference between climate and weather: "Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get. " This means that the climate scientists studying global warming are creating models and making predictions about the state of the global average climate on a scale of decades and centuries, not days and weeks.

Weather is a chaotic system and notoriously hard to predict, but at a long-term scale it becomes stochastic and predictable, which is where global warming theory comes in. Now, some of the weird weather we've seen this year are representative of what we expect to see as the earth warms: lots more lake effect snow, for instance, because lakes don't freeze and the air takes on more moisture. But the weather on any given day is an aggregate of forces that are far too specific to be blamed on "global warming."

This is why it's a mistake when people say things like "Well, it was pretty cold today and it snowed. So much for that global warming! " or even "Boy it's warm today.

Thank god for global warming! " This winter has been pretty weird around here. It started off very mild (in fact the tulips I planted at Halloween were fooled into sprouting by christmas!) but then took a terrible cold turn in the last couple months.

(See the article linked just below. ) In the end, your question is best answered by saying "not entirely, because there are a lot of forces at work when it comes to weather, but the models of the warming climate tend to predict more of what we're starting to see."

I would say that there is a link between the weird weather and global warming. The weather that we are experiencing across the globe at the moment can probably be attributed to several different factors, all of which in some way have changed how the climate is effected. Increasing property development across the globe.

Those drives in front of peoples houses both absorb and reflect heat back into the atmosphere. Linked with the above the reduction in green space around cities. Continued use of carbon emitting energy sources.

These are just a few of the things each in it self may seem quite insignificant but when put together there is a much different picture.

1 EddieNygma, regarding your answer "I don't think so": I completely agree with you... and that is a great book... There is another on by Dan Brown (I think) that has some good info too. Of course the storyline is fiction but the actual facts have been rsearched and prove true.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
