Is this global warming?

Could be, I was wondering about that. Not sure, but global warming isn't about all places warming up but an overall small increase in the earth's temperature by a few degrees F. Some places will get more precip/snow, others will be drier. Just a hodge podge of chaos really

You are not an idiot for you are observing and asking a simple question that places doubt on status quo.

We are heading into colder longer winters due to smaller sunspot cycles which will last until 2030. First warm up not until 2035.

Our mini-ice age began to thaw with the restart of sunspot activity. This cycle began about 2008 and observers in the 1870s, noted that fewer sunspots and there are fewer hurricanes and fewer ship wrecks, Popular Science Jan, 1878, pages 365 - 367

You believe in global warming? Let me tell you, this is totally wrong..... You shall not believe in something what is science, you shall know about it and read the papers, then you will know the difference between weather and climate. local

IPCC does state that climate change will mean warmer summers, milder winters, with less frequent snowfall, that is one prediction that is failing miserably.

But many places on the globe are a lot warmer according to GISS, place like Paraguay, central Africa, Siberia, mid Pacific ocean, all places with very few measuring stations (hmm strange that) so there must be global warming (sarc)

Here, it's warmer than usual and the ski hills have had to close for lack of snow; people have lost their jobs.

But weather and seasonal variations are much larger than climate change over the course of a few years.

That is because they don't have any argument beyond an appeal to authority. Which is a classic logical fallacy. So are reduced to name calling.

They believe it because they were told to believe it. Not because they have seen any proof or have any understanding.

It makes them mad that you don't just accept on faith, the word of their expert.

There is no counter argument, the evidence is overwhelming, 99% of the worlds scientists and scientific organisations in the world confirm this.

How can anyone use logic or reason to argue against this evidence, any argument you get will be them repeating the propaganda and so called experts who the major energy corporations are paying for.

In some places it is warmer than average, local short time temperature anomalies are not global, if NY winters were colder over a long period that would be a change in the climate.

I believe your question has been answered. The first few are usually very informative, and then people start acting offended and calling you names. I wish humans were as advanced in social etiquette as we are in knowledge of the weather.

no. global means averaged over the entire planet, not warming everywhere.

why not look at australia or denver if you are going to chose a location?

btw..climate is not local weather
