It is nearly april and here in the Kingdom of the Netherlands it is still freezing at night. We should be having fine spring weather by now. I expect the Earth is cooling down and I fear we will get another ice age soon.
I think it's called 'climate change' Temp's go up and down. It's snowing here right now. Great Conveyor Belt. Amazingly, the Great Conveyor Belt is only thing between comfortable summers and a permanent ice age for Europe and the eastern coast of North America. That's playing up, apparently.
Temps have been going up and down every day for thousands of years probably. Never read anything in Egyptian about "climate change".
It's not supposed to be snowing here right now. It's -1. They do say the conveyor is faulty which effects the gulf stream, and vice versa...so the changes in temps are unpredictable. I'm just sayin' when people say it should be getting colder or warmer - that isn't quite true. I'm not going to argue with forces greater than myself...
It is what it is. One year it's hot and everyone screams global warming. The next year is cold and everyone asks "where's global warming?" I really haven't seen too drastic of a change. All the "temps to go up by 2 degrees" is like over a 100 year span. We'll not notice this IMO. I just feel bad for polar bears.
I hate spring. Mornings the temperature drops down to -20C , in the evenings it goes up to 2C .. makes your head all bloaty and shit.
Climate Change Is Nothing More Than A Load Of Hot Air, *no pun intended*, Climate Change Has Been Going On Since The Earth Made It's First Revolution, Tit's Just In Recent Years That Burnt Out Scientists, Tree Huggers, And Other Assorted Hangers On Have Realised That To Be Involved With This Movement, Is A License To Print Money.... I'm Pleased To Say, That In The Last 12 Months, The Truth Relating To The Biggest Con-Job Since The Y-2K Bug Drama, Is Finally Emerging.... Then Maybe We Can Forget All The Hype And Just Get On With Our Lives, Keeping In Mind We Need To Keep Our House Clean For Generations To Come.... Cheers Glen.
no cegar. warmer mid ocieans means more storms and dwindling glaciers and ice caps, all of which have been observed at higher levels, and the rate of those levels increasing, faster since the beginning of the industrial revolution then before. none of those things by themselves would matter all that much. but a warmer climate means diseases mutate faster and more droughts means more crop failures which means more hungry people. nature will of course correct the problem if we go on and continue not wiping our own ass. which is what using combustion to generate energy and propell transportation, and breading like rabbits amounts to. but famine and epidemic is HOW nature corrects an out of balance population of a species, and THAT is a whole world of hurt, we COULD, togather, rather easily avoid. turning off a light bulb isn't going to do it, but energy and transportation policy, and lowering all human fertility accross the board without bias or exception will. we CAN do nothing and let nature correct the problem. we just aren't going to like the way it goes about doing it. a significant implosion of human population will be labeled by the popular press as the end of the world. but then they're always saying things like that, aren't they.
I have not seen a drastic change either. Perhaps here it won't be some dramatic change. The seasons do seem to be shifting sideways, though. Take now for instance, it isn't usually this cold. I can't remember it snowing so close to Apri. Although, I can't say I pay a great deal of attention to the changing of the seasons, to be honest. Greater minds than mine are on the case, anyway: It has been predicted that by 2050 Leicester will be experiencing hotter, drier summers and colder, wetter winters. http://www.leicester.gov.uk/your-co...ironment/climate-change/#How-affect-Leicester Why do you mention the polar bears?
I just want snow at Christmas. Is that too much to ask for? :tree: In all seriousness...I just think the seasons will shift slightly and be more pronounced either way. I did once think London would be covered in water within my lifetime - but no such excitement seems likely any time soon.
as i understand it, the immediate effects of global warming in the uk would be the loss of mild winters and colder springs, so its kinda on the right track, from my point of view, as i'm fucking freezing. but anyway, its impossible to tell with just first hand experience, you need access to statistical averages, climate graphs etc. This would seem to be appropriate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQlHaGhYoF0"]Armstrong & Miller - Climate Change - YouTube
Where exactly do the results of the carbon based industrial revolution end up? On the ground? In the air? Disappear completely? Make no differance? Who is against the theory? Who believes it? Could this be another 'follow the money' situation? Whose money is threatened if restorative/remedial action begins?
They hunt on ice and also depend on the ice to travel to other islands/landmasses. When the ice on the north pole retreats sooner every year or does not return at all the polar bears are stuck on the same place with less food. I thought it was already becoming a problem for a certain amount of them.
Seasonability is cause by uneven heating, not a specific trend up or down. Industry, internal combustion et all, are super heated spaces, micro climes that have shadow effects down stream. Why do these super heated spaces appear, we care more or less or we are hot and cold about things. The storms in the atmosphere reflecting these storms in our consciousness.
