See global warming is real

   

$10 says next winter will be the complete opposite and break cold records.

   

It's just localized weather. In Alberta through central Sask and into western and northern Manitoba it's snowing, quite heavily(accumulations between 20 and 50 cm), with cool seasonal temps. South eastern Manitoba eastwards are the warm patches because of the jet stream. In Winnipeg, it was scratching at 20 while 300km to the NW, in Dauphin, it was hovering at O. Hell, it was snowing in Vancouver. Based on that the Chicken 'Shit for Brains' Littles should be screaming about the next Ice Age.

   

I don;t know what's worse: the threat of mass starvation posed by global warming or the fact that you can't talk about the weather anynmore without some numbnuts bringing up global warming.

   

No big surprise - weather fluctuates.

In January when Edmonton was enjoying unseasonably warm weather, Toronto and much of the east were in a record cold snap. El Nino/La Nina do all sorts of crazy shit to global weather.

   

I'll take that bet.

   

It is the warmest winter in the record in the US, Canada, too. New heat records are now outgunning cold at a ratio of 12:1. In spite of appearances, the West is not having an unusually cold or snowy winter. For the total of the US it has been the third least snowy since record keeping began about 50 years ago - and not below average in temperature.

Europe remains the reverse but, even there, the extremes are notable because of the warming trend of the past few decade that have led to false views about European winters. They are severe but not at any pace much below normal.

The cause is said to be an unusually positive Arctic Oscillation added ti the climate change that has pushed the jet stream off course.

   

This is probably just another cycle that the weather on this planet goes through. What always kills me about a lot of weather 'experts' who are quick to say things like 'January has been WAY to warm for January...", is that one thing constantly gets forgotten: Weather on this planet was changing patterns and doing things long before humans and our calendars came about. Who are we to say what weather should be to us?

Sorry. Those of us in Southern Ontario are too busy right now at the BBQ and the beach to give a rat's ass. We're also too busy enjoying the savings our people are experiencing by not smashing their cars on snow covered roads and our cities and towns are enjoying in reduced snow removal costs. Try us again in November.

   

Never in palaeoclimate history have their been changes like this. Climate, not weather, changes patterns only at the impulse of external forces and, before this change, has taken many thousands, and sometimes, millions of years to change a much as it has done in a few decades this time.

Weather "experts" may say what "kills you," but climate experts do not. They do say the last thirty years has established a trend to warming that is unprecedented in many millions of years. Possibly in the history of the Planet.

Great post. Nice to see some common sense.

   

I just wish that some of that was here.

   

While in a previous thread you tried to convince us that this was one of the worst winters on record for Europe and record temps for cold were being smashed.
That's the tricky part about being a liar. You need to remember your lies.
