global warming??????

[irishcowboy]

seems that some one missed it.....hehehehe

this is one of the coldest winters i have seen in this area .... been here since dec 93 and we have had more days below freezing then i have seen before...... BBBBRRRRRRRRRRrrrrr .... and it isnt over yet.....

not much snow, for the second year, lots of ice, more ice then last year.... have had more calls for froze and or broken pipes this year then i have had since the first year i started plumbing, and i am not doing plumbing anymore..... havnot for about a year.

brrrrrrr

would rather have snow with it a bit warmer then having it this cold.....

my dog does not even like it out side, and she has a heavier coat and has become more plump then she has ever been. up until last august, she was still as skinny as can be, now she is plump.... she use to eat about a cup- two cups of food a day, now she wants several..... sounds like more cold to come...... several dogs i know have added extra plumpness and heavier coats this year then they ever have before...

Well, as I have heard so many time from the wacko's "Global warming also causes flashes of intense cold". Whatever. Anybody wonder why tempeture data from 1924 to 1935 is never used by the so-called experts when "proving" global warming?

Quite cold over here where I am at the moment.

And I don't envision the sun turning into a Red Giant anytime soon.....

I will keep you posted, though

Watched an interesting report last night on global warming.

A glacier in Peru is almost gone...but it's been melting for over 100 years.

A third of the north pole is also melted away and all the ice in greenland and iceland is disappearing....you would think with all that melting going on(forgot to mention the south pole), we'd see some rise in sea water.

I've no doubt the globe is warming, something is melting the ice. And I've no doubt that the "greenhouse gases" are more abundent as well, but does this spell catastrophy for the planet.

One part of the report that really bothered me was the editing that the government does to the scientific reports before it releases them to the general public. Are they trying to prevent panic??? Or, is there something to hide? Or, is this whole global warming thing just another political football...with Dems on one side and Reps on the other and the rest of the world caught in the middle. Of course the U.S. is the biggest contributer to the "greenhouse gas" effect.

The report was very well done and convincing, but still all the ice won't melt till the end of the century, we've heard this before....but now...they are saying that we are rapidly approaching the "tip point"...ie...point of no return.

So, I'm wondering, because we know at one time the north pole was a tropical area...how terrible would it be if it returned to that state. Would soil in other parts of the world suddenly be unable to produce crops?

We have had horrible storms in the past, before global warming...if we warm up....how much worse can they get. They said last night that the frequancy wouldn't nessecarily increase...a little bit different from earlier reports.

All in all, after listening and watching...it would seem the scientific community is changing their tactics...along with all the politicians, they (the news guy) hinted it was all Bushes fault...and big oil. The guy editing the reports is a lawyer..formerly a big oil exec, who since has left the white house and now works for Exxon.

And more good news...another branch at NASA is now reporting that the suns solar cycle is going to be 50% more active this year and will produce all sorts of bad things here on earth...so why worry about global warming?????

So, solar cycle C-24 + golbal warming + radical Islam = you decide

After the cold war, the media needed something to incite fear and boost ratings. First it was running out of fuel supplies, then vanishing species, disappearing ozone, pending earthquakes, killer bees, Y2K, now global warming, etc... I still got some flashlights and bottle water left over from Y2K if any one needs some supplies.

1)The actual term is "Global Climate Change", as the melting of the ice deposits will indeed lead to certain areas, such as Britain, becoming substantially colder.

2)the operative word is Global, meaning they measure the overall global temperature. So the OP's point is rather irrelevant.

i think they're trying to create panic, not prevent it.

global warming is part of the natural cycle. so is global cooling. this has all happened before, and if God tarries, will all happen again. there is nothing new under the sun.

but ain't it nice to know that even the climate is controlled by God?

jukia, can you please explain to me where all the Co2 came from during previous global warmings, when the earth's population was a mere fraction of what it is today?

listen. bottom line is this. global warming isn't going to be the end of our planet. scripture lays out quite plainly what to expect... and after the millenial kingdom is set up on earth, it'll be a whole new world without any global warming scares to worry about anyway.

chicken little, the sky isn't falling.

I don't know about where you at, but it is colder than a mother-n-law's love here in the balmy south this winter.

well here in the mojave desert, it's dipping below freezing when the sun goes down, that's highly unusual for this part of the country!
