Global Warming

[Kuzmich]

In Moscow right now its +5 C, which is very unusual, snow is melting, ice is liquifying. Thats the warmest winter in decades. Do you think the cause is global warming?

[Jimbo]

well,humans use many products wich pollute the earth,even when humans breath it realeses a small ammount of co2,wich polutes the air.but just that isint enough to effect us in any way,its when we make factory's and burn lots of coal,and release polution,wich damages the atmospere,messing up the greenhouse effect,allowing more heat.


but of course,there is natural pollution,like volcanoes and such

[Kuzmich]

I know how CO2 to is created. Do you think that this year's unusual temperatures are a result of global warming?

[Jimbo]

no,i dont it just jumped up,isint global warming at a steady pace?


its prob cause by something we havint been able to figure out yet

[Kuzmich]

Okay temperature in Moscow during winter is usually -20 C, right now its +5 C. And not just Moscow, St.Petersburg has been flooded for the same reason. And not just Russia either several cities in England have been flooded.

In Canada, at times like this, it was snowing and it was -10. (last year)

Now we're above 0 degrees.

[Kuzmich]

This is weird.

[Jimbo]

well,i couldint tell the differance in heat,over here this year in california,its always hot here 70 degrees+ average (farehnheit)

but i dont think it will be as big of a jump in heat,as it was last year

[minny]

Its -15 in Korea.... shouldnt Russia be colder?
anywho maybe its because Russia is closer to the North Pole?

Believe it or not but weather patterns do vary from year to year. Global warming shouldn't change it that much.

[Arodion]

Actually it should be getting warmer. According to ceratin historical meteorologist, all this 'strange' weather we've been having, is actually normal. They say that we've been living in a cold spell for about 100 years and its just now circulating back around to normal temperatures.

Of course the earth's orbit has now been shifted due to that earth quake, so we don't know WTF the weather will do now.

[Kuzmich]

But still +5 in Moscow. That is strange. But purhaps you're right.

believe it or not, around January ~ February, its the coldest time in canada.

and snows are melting,

Dam its not even snowing in New Jersey. Its been good weather very good weather..

Even though temperatures do normally rise, and eventually become countered by an ice age of some sort, they will continue to rise farther than they should because of all the greenhouse gasses. You wouldn't notice a sudden jump because of global warming, it would probably be over the course of several years, but still significant. I have also noticed that the snow melts and doesn't stick around though...

Global Warming always so funny to me. To think that WE can say ONE way or ANOTHER WHAT the atmosphere is doing when we have ONLY been monitoring the weather for...AT BEST 150 years is ABSURD!

I think that the Earth just has warm cycles and cold cycles. It's probably natural for the Earth to have these higher temperature decades and then colder temperature decades... Global Warming is totally absurd.

which is... global warming, dont you think? The warm cycle = Global Warming, arent I correct? Isnt that, what global warming basically is?

point being...?

[TrongaMonga]

If you guys don't know, the sun is going up to a peak of temperature in this year or the next (once every 11 years or so, it get's the hottest, then goes down, then up again, and so on). So, it's not really that much of a deal. Of course, the pollution is making it hotter than ever, but it'll be low again in some years.

Holy shit! Our rotational period shrunk by 3 microseconds, this is chaos!!
Erm... no. Any large gathering of mass, be it a shift in tectonic plates or a rain cloud, will shift the rotation of the Earth. Don't pretend like it's going to effect our weather so drastically.
