at this point, if someone wants to lalala about climate change nothing you can say to them on a fitness message board will change their mind

Global warming isn't a very viable argument considering the weather where I live.

Considering this used to be "normal" winter weather 25 years ago, I'd say it's a very viable argument. Here, XKCD said it much better than I can.

Meanwhile in Canada we have been having winter weather this winter.

And you're sending it to us in MI. We were colder than Alaska almost the entire month of January. In January there were only 4 days that didn't snow.

This is Phase One of the master plan. When you are sufficiently snowed in Phase Two will begin.

I live in Canada......don't even get me started on the weather.......the temperature here right now is -30C with a wind chill factor of -37C.....my car has been plugged in all night and I hope like hell that it starts this morning......and to top it all off, the heat in my apartment says 16C (61F).....I've phoned my landlord!!!!!....I hate winter in Canada.....I want to go back to New Zealand.....sob!!:(

Global warming isn't a very viable argument considering the weather where I live.

Global warming puts more moisture in the air, that is, more water into the weather patterns. So as global warming happens, the weather gets more extreme and if you live an an area with 4 regular seasons, you will notice a trend towards hotter summers, colder winters, spring and fall growing shorter or not happening, and more unpredictable storms and weather patterns.

Clobal cooling takes moisture out of the air and out of the weather pattern, locking it in the poles. But before an ice age is triggered, the reduction of water in the weather patterns creates more even, moderate weather patterns that just gradually grow colder as the ice caps expand.

^^^^^thank you for this

It's been freezing cold and snowing where I live since the beginning of December

It's sad when 20 degrees F feels warm and you walk outside without a coat on because you've gotten used to the -20 degree weather.

Fact....I am in southwest Ohio. So far this winter we are 24.6 inches over the average snow fall. We are 11 degrees colder than the average winter.

Another fact....I fricken HATE THIS STUFF.

Opinion....Why is it that no matter what happens with the weather, the people that believe in global warming, blame this on global warming. If it snowing a lot, raining a lot, windier than normal, hotter or colder than normal, they blame it all on global warming.

Because scientists have proven that global warming leads to all kinds of extreme weather, not just heat. So extreme weather in any sense can be related to it.

Actually , this was debunked. We have been in a cooling phase for around the last 13 years, when this scientific evidence was confirmed all over the world the Al Gorians changed the the tune to climate change. We are still no where near the warm period experienced in the Middle Ages. Less than 20,000 years ago Wooly mammoths were stomping around Bowling Green Kentucky. Why were they there? Because the Laurentide ice sheet covered America. Did no one learn anything in school? The climate is always changing. Are you seriously expecting us to believe the campfires of a few hundred thousand Homo Sapiens caused the melting of an ice sheet (one of many throughout history) that existed for 2.6 million years. You are aware that the continents used to be part of one huge continent and that every day the planet changes and the continents shift. The volcano, Mt Pinatubo, with one explosion put more toxins in the atmosphere than Mans entire time on Earth. You don't have to believe me, look for yourself. Every fact I presented is scientifically verifiable all over the planet. Good luck finding any Climatologist who will go on record with evidence of proof of Man made Global Warming. There are so many real problems- deforestation, water and air pollution, habitat loss. This is just not one of them.

Did you even look at the link? There were several citations dated from 2009-2013, this is directly off the current NASA website. Where are your sources? Did you miss the part where 97% of scientists agree with the fact of human-caused climate change? Yes the climate has always changed, but there's a big difference between past natural changes and what's happening now.

I live in Georgia and lately it can LITERALLY be 70 degrees one day and 20 the next, Can't wait until winter ends

MissSaturday

it is a disaster... wanted to walk but it raining.. hate it
i prefer the snow .. slip and hit my head on the floor :laugh:

callyart

England has had some really bad rain this year, tons of flooding.... something is definitely up.

Also, not sure about an ice age, because I don't personally feel it has been that cold, but there's still a bit of winter left so who knows.

I'm just glad we haven't had any snow where I am!

Holy cow. I can't even...

My thoughts on the weather situation? It's winter. Winter tends to be cold and sometimes snowy. People just b!tch about it more in February.

2013 was the second-hottest year on record without an El Niño

http://www.skepticalscience.com/news.php?n=2391

Over the past decade, we've seen less warming at the surface and more warming in the oceans. This has been in large part due to a change in Pacific Ocean cycles. We're currently in a cycle that tends to produce more La Niña than El Niño events, which has resulted in the oceans accumulating more heat, leaving less energy than normal to warm the atmosphere. This in turn has led to the widespread myth that the slowed rate of increase of global surface temperatures means we no longer have to worry about global warming, or that its consequences won't be as bad as expected.

What's also interesting is that despite being a Neutral year, 2013 was hotter than 1998, which saw one of the strongest El Niño events on record. This tells us that humans have caused as much global warming over the past 15 years as a powerful El Niño event. The difference is that an El Niño is a temporary event, while human-caused global warming is permanent, unless we can quickly pull a lot of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Facts are fun.

So, the Ice Age was because of Global Warming?

I love when people go off trying to disprove science with random rants with no evidence to back it up. Just proves they have no understanding of science in the first place.
