Debbie H asked in EnvironmentGlobal Warming · 1 decade ago

If we are in global warming, why is almost all of the US freezing to death?

This is about the coldest winter we have had in a long time and I live in the south! Where is the warm in global warming?

    I get a kick out of the believers, "its winter", funny thing is when winters were warmer a couple year ago they were yelling it was global warming and it was going to continue. Now that the past two winters have been much cooler the best they can come with" its winter". When the summer comes and the temps heat up will it be global warming? or will the answer be its summer.

    Global Warming does not only mean it gets hotter. It makes all temperatures more extreme.

    The US is not freezing to death, it is very cold in some places, but that is a direct result of Global Warming. To put it simply, the turnover causes more extreme cold.

    THe earth's temperature has been dropping considering the fact that 1999, the term replaced into replaced to "worldwide climate exchange" to perpetuate the con-job and save the gravy prepare chugging alongside. The lemmings have been in elementary terms too satisfied to alter their terminology and pretend it replaced into on no account something. As evidenced via a number of your solutions.

    We really do appear to be in a cooling cycle. This is a repeat of the cooling behavior of the mid 1970s, which scared scientists into warning us of a coming ice age.

    I think it was last year Baghdad, Iraq, got its first snow in a hundred years. China got clobbered too.

    But, hey, now the money-grubbers are claiming we must fight "climate change" by handing our money to them. No matter which way it goes, warmer or cooler, they'll insist we must be carbon-taxed to death to "fight" something they cannot fight.

    The overall warming has been happening for 18000 years, with ups and downs, and the oceans have risen 400 feet already. We are just recovering from a cooling spell that happened from about 1945 to 1985, causing the ice pack to increase 15% and creating fear of a new ice age. Well, the cooling spell ended and we're back on the normal track.

    It's all perfectly natural.

    That's in Celsius, not Farenheit, btw.

    Where's this "cooling cycle" I'd like to know.

    Solar activity is declining. This decline in solar activity, or solar output causes less heat from the Sun and cools the Earth.

    Russian scientist are forecasting that the planet is going to get colder in the 2030's, this is why only half of scientists believe in "Global Warming".

    The phenomenon "Global Warming" is not always literally what its called, its mostly climat change so with "global warming" we experience much more drastic temperatures... for the most part warmer but the earth balances itself by giving us a very cold winter..

    because its winter

    it also freezes in the Sahara did you know that

    Global warming does not mean no more winters

  • 1 decade ago

    Because it's winter. It's called *global* warming for a reason.

    September 2008 was the 4th hottest September on record.

    October 2008 was the 4th hottest October on record.

    November 2008 was the 5th hottest November on record.

    December 2008 was the 7th hottest December on record.

    2008 was the 9th hottest year on record.

    The first decade of the 21st century has been the hottest decade on record, and in fact the hottest decade in thousands of years.

    In order to understand global warming you need to be able to look past your own local weather and see the whole global climate.
