Just a little visual shock for those who believe global warming is a joke

Wouldn't have anything to do with El Nino, or the fact that the rest of the world is average temperature.
 
i still don't think it's entirely human kind's fault. there are natural climatic cycles, such as the ice age. this is just another one of those cycles. i'm not saying humans didn't contribute, we didn't exactly help, but our presence on this planet, in terms of the entire existance of this planet, is so minute that we really haven't been around all that long.

"Global

The global annual temperature for combined land and ocean surfaces is

expected to be sixth warmest on record for 2006. Some of the largest

and most widespread warm anomalies occurred in southern Asia and North

America. Canada experienced its warmest winter and warmest spring since

its national records began in 1948.

Including

2006, six of the seven warmest years on record have occurred since 2001

and the ten warmest years have occurred since 1995. The global average

surface temperature has risen between 0.6 degrees C and 0.7 degrees

C since the start of the 20th Century, and the rate of increase since

1976 has been approximately three times faster than the century-scale

trend.

The extent

of Arctic sea ice was second lowest on record in September, when annual

sea ice extent is at its lowest point of the year. This was only slightly

higher than the record low extent measured in 2005. According to the

National Snow and Ice Data Center, this is part of a continuing trend

in end-of-summer Arctic sea ice extent reductions of approximately eight

percent per decade since 1979, when recordkeeping began."

Global warming is already causing damage in many parts of the United

States. In 2002, Colorado, Arizona and Oregon endured their worst

wildfire seasons ever. The same year, drought created severe dust

storms in Montana, Colorado and Kansas, and floods caused hundreds of

millions of dollars in damage in Texas, Montana and North Dakota. Since

the early 1950s, snow accumulation has declined 60 percent and winter

seasons have shortened in some areas of the Cascade Range in Oregon and

Washington.

i love how the weather just stops at the border. there is no weather in canada or mexico.

for you americans, canada is the big one on top of you, and mexico is the ittle one below you on the left.
 
guys, global warming is really no big deal when you realize that the entropy of our universe is constantly increasing, leading us to a temperature equilibrium at about 4K between all matter. This phenomenon will stop all transfer of energy between particles and create...HEAT DEATH!!!!!

plus we only have 5 billion years until the sun burns out!!!!!
 
What, are you fucking retarded? Why would people living in AMERICA watching weather about AMERICA care about other countries? You're a fucking tool.
 
everything is heating up, but warmer temps mean warmer water means more moisture, means stronger storms... so in places where the avg temp is already way cold enough to snow, which is most of the west, canada...etc, its just going to snow more, and then be a little warmer... it seems like only the EC is fucked because there temps are always around 32, so a little warmer means more rain instead of more snow... which sucks
 
eh who didn't believe in global warming?

can't have been in my country, because we were taught that shit as a fact from 5 years old. dumbasses.
 
and it's cool, cause everybody lives in an igloo and traps and fishes for a living. and I get free maple syrup and dudley dooright hats
 
i love your country brother, ive lived there and met some of the best people i know.

But what you just said speaks volumes. So fuck you too.
 
Uh... would you mind elaborating on that one, or just leave it as a simple, "fuck you" because you really have no basis for an arguement and would rather blindly stay on the "Americans are ignorant" bandwagon?
 
yep then its bye bye world, but by then well have probaly killed our selves and started evolution all over.

p.s. global warming sucks.

and now all these threads are being posted on global warming all cuz i started that F**K GLOBAL WARMING thread, i feel responsible
 
haha, good one. global warming only affects the east coast, right.

global warming is happening. proven fact, ask anyone who has a clue and no agenda. what is debateable, and what causes people to get all up in arms about it, is the effect humans have had on this rise in temperatures. say what you will, but in the past 150 years, humans have released into the atmosphere all of the carbon that took billions of years to make. although everything revolves around carbon, too much of it=baaaaaaad.

the earth is fucked. carrying capicity is going to be reached in about 30 years. know what that means? no more 'free' fresh water. no more 'free' arable land=less available for food production=global food shortages. no more 'free' anything. anything that will be considered a commodity is going to be highly guarded by the possesors, unavoidably leading to increased amounts of conflict.

it's going to happen, it's just a matter of how long.
 
yep, sadly i think the next major war is going to be over water or something we are all taking for granted now
 
dude your a fucking idiot skiierman is right. its a US study so why go further than that, we don't care about other countries? who gives every country help when they are in need and we don't expect anything back. i know other countries help out to but give me a break man. NOT all Americans are ignorant douchebags, if you think that then YOU are the ignorant one.
 
already fought with the other dude bro.

it was a throwaway line, and i dont believe all americans are ignorant. ive lived in the states, and ive got a lot of good friends in three different states.

the fact that a lot of you dont give a shit about what you know is unfortunate, but that doesnt make you any different from most of the western world, including canadians and australians, of which i am both.

i didnt mean to offend all americans,

but

if your all sick of having the rest of the world give you shit, stop being defensive for a second, look at the last 100years of foreign policy, cop it for a bit and try and be the best people you can be.

and that should go for all of us who live in countries fortunate enough to afford us the luxury of having skiing, not fighting a war as our weekend activity.

sorry to be a selfrighteous dick.
 
well looks like the great lake states are going to become the richest in the world!!!! bahahaha, be richer than the middle east and their Oil
 
matt is right that global warming will create more intense storms, but glaciers are still receding due to summer temps, and winters will just be shorter and more intense so that is a problem for everywhere...youre seasons could be shorter out west

, snow wise some places will get more snowfall but this comes at other costs, overall many places will start to lose snowfall eventually if things continue at this rate, many things are still unknown, but it is even possible for global warming to send us into another ice age, the earth will self correct, our current existence and style of living is jeopardized though.
 
Well because america is fucking america, you can horn in on our america, but you are north and south, not real america. you weather is left over from what we don't want
 
But we have just started using gas like around 60 years ago with the modernization of the family automobile... and gas everything else, heating, water heating... that stuff. And temperatures have never really been this above average this often compared to back before the 80's. Ask any old guy, your dad or your grandpa. They'll all tell you they could not remember it being this warm this time of year ever. And they aren't lying.
 
Global warming...is real. But not entirely because of us! It has been proven that the earth (as well as TONS of other natural phenomenon, population densities, climates etc) go in a patern that alternates \/\/\/\/, we are currently on the UP of that pattern, we will most likely continue to go up until the next ice age, which then we will go down, and then after the ice age, go back up! Its natural cylces of the earth. Sure global warming is real, and yes the temperature of the earth is rising, but it isn't just from us. Our CO2 emissions are playing a part, just not a very significant one.
 
Yeah man it's sick up here. You'd be surprised.

I just made my down payment on a 70 square foot igloo, and bought 2 gallons of maple syrup.

It's the life up here man, ur missing out. But we don't fish, we eat beavers.
 
For Albino...

The country below is the United States, and the Land to the Northwest is Alaska.

/sarcasm.

Your weather.ca website does the same thing with their weather maps...

Anyways, I can atest to this winter being "Warmer than normal". Considering it has been 50 degrees for a week straight, and looks to be for at least a few more days. THe average high this time of year here is mid to upper 20s.
 
heres a thought do u really think the world would stay perfect forever??soon well find a way to change the temperature permentally. and there will b no such thing as global warming. wen u want sno it will sno and when u want it to b cold it will b cold
 
Just curious, but do you have any sort of education?

That is completely impossible. Nature is much more powerful than humans.
 
haha, ice melts people.

just in case you didnt know, there is no stopping this.

if everyone on the western hemisphere stopped driving forever, and we only used wind and sun power. it wouldnt matter. there are 2.5 billion chinese and countless in africa burning coal everyday all day... and the consumption will indrease exponentially.

so that means more global warming and more beachside porperty in my backyard.

Im psyched.
