Global Warming has always been a misleading name. The average temperature of the planet overall has already measurably warmed, and the trend continues. But the climate scientists have predicted for decades now that the *local/regional effects* would be more frequent and more intense storms, more extreme temperature swings and more climate extremes in general. Desert areas will become drier; other areas much wetter. So we're swinging in January between March temperatures and January temperatures. More category 4 and 5 hurricanes in general. Not every year, but on average. So we get Katrina...a first. And the south gets inundated with rare January tornadoes. They showed film on the news tonight of I think parts of Ohio under 8-10 feet of water...and about to go into a deep, deep freeze that will freeze those bizarre mid-January floods. And so on. Here in Maine, we recently ended 18 months of torrential, tropical downpours that brought the water tables back to where they had been...before 5 years of drought. Get used to it folks. It's only going to continue and get worse. Oh, they'll be occasional reprieves in one part of the country (and world) or another. But we're in for a very bumpy ride. |

The climate has changed up and down since the dawn of time. Thats just like saying that in 1974 on the Cover of time magazine we were certainly going to freeze to death in 10 years.

It is true that the climate has changed since earth began. It is also true that it has never changed *this quickly* since humans have been here, and probably since long before that. And it is also true that these changes will dramatically effect how we live. back at ya!
p.s. I suggest for serious info on science, look at different sources than Time magazine covers. :lol:

I guess we will have to agree to disagree, cause I hate fighting, but if you are interested I can get you some very factual links from major Climatologists that do not hold with the sky is falling theory! The increase in seas and air temps is extremly minimal. In fact they satate much higher warmings before the industrial revolution. ![]() Oh and one more thing, The reason I refrenced the TIme Rag was because its part of the Liberal Media hype. And heres a great bunch of info to read, You might really find it eye opening. heres the link. Very interesting reading. Climate |

The weather here (Indiana) has been more and more bizarre over the last few years,IMO. We cycle between 60 degree days, dropping 50 degrees in 8 hours. We have had 80 mph winds. There haven't been many dry days since fall. There is something rotten in Denmark :pissed:! As a side note, has anyone had hoof trouble this year? I think the miserable wet weather couple with daily drastic tempature changes have been hell on hooves. I have had more horse for almost 6 years with no issues until this year. His poor feet are in awful shape right now. |

I'm more than happy to "agree to disagree" and I'm also more than happy to not fight. Citing "right wing big oil hype" doesn't impress me any more than disparaging "liberal media hype" did. Your link is to a single climatologist who is at least partly on the payroll of Exxon. And yes, there are individual scientists who dispute whether it is happening now and/or whether or not it is caused in part by human activities. And of course scientists argue the meaning of the facts every step of the way, which is good. By the time you get a lot of them on the same page, there has been enormous review and discussion. At this point, the overwhelming majority of scientists believe, based on extensive reivew of facts and evidence, that it is happening and is at least partly caused by human activities. I'd be more than happy to provide links citing the evidence for climate change.The current discussion among the majority of them is the speed with which it is and will continue to happen. http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/basicinfo.html http://www.climatescience.gov/ http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/ http://www.unep.org/Themes/climatechange/ http://www.pewclimate.org/ http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/change/ The fact that the temperature change is small is irrelevent, since it only takes a small overall temp change to have significant impact on weather and climate. |
