British Scientists Say 2007 May Be Warmest Year In Recorded History.

[PelenClerk]

An article was published by the Associated Press yesterday reporting that 2007's combination of El Nino and increased greenhouse gases (read: global warming) led British scientists to report a 60% Chance of 2007 becoming the warmest year in recorded history. We're talking way back here, probably like 700-800 years. 2006 managed to make it into the top ten (#6 World Wide). This is terrible, I live in Ohio and on at this point it's been over a month without seeing a drop of snow. I invested alot of green into skiing and I've gotten nothing. My friend saw a dandelion in his backyard yesterday. Our North Pole melted for the first time a few years ago, this is ridiculous people, but what can we do?

Check the article for your self.

Oh, people from Maine, we know you have snow. Please don't flood the thread.

i agree

 

[slaydave]

it is rediculous and i blame global warming... but the cold will come, the warm air can only fight the time of year so long. in fact here in the midwest the forcast for the upcoming weeks is looking amazing... lets just hope it holds up this time... here it is for my area. http://wwwa.accuweather.com/forecast-15day.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0&zipChg=1&zipcode=45244&metric=0

utah has a decent amount of snow, but is still under average for snow. seems colder than normal this year here though.

read this article, see if who is losing snow fastest in north america, its a bunch of interesting info, titled 'Declining Snow Pack in North America'

http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/admin/publication_files/resource-1699-2005.06.pdf

it was written by the American Meteorological Survey

its i guess because of el nino....people are golfing in illinois and wisconsin in january

 

[xcjamie]

I'd believe it. Its been like 50 the past 3 weeks in Western NY

 

[freezed]

It was about 18 degrees (F) today on the hill. I wish it was warmer.

 

[skiierman]

It's just because of the elevated jet stream (El Nino). Global warming has very little to do with it. All the cold air is being kept out because of the jet stream. If it is supposed to be the warmest year, please enlighten us on the record snow falls out west.

 

[gregor]

El Nino affects us Brits a lot as most of our weather systems come over from South America/Carribean where the phenomenon develops. West Coast will be ok, EC is fucked!

 

[thecoyote]

just because it's getting warmer doesnt mean its too warm to snow. West is getting dumped on because warmer air holds more moisture....its still below freezing, but warmer with more snow...

and its called climate change anyways, global warming is a flawed term, because not everywhere will see a rise in temps.

 

[Republican_Enemy]

i live in ny and probably got close to 20 days, you need to make the best of it. Drive long distances, road trips are fun.

 

[skiierman]

Well that's why I said global warming has little to do with it.

 

[FUUUCK]

i bought a seasons pass at blue mountain, and it has no park, st. louis had snow but today it melted unbelievably fast

this photo sums up my mood
