30 Years of Global Cooling Are Coming, Leading Scientist Says
http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/...ng-scientists/ |
I love how the warmer temperatures were from Global Warming and these colder temps now are also a product of Global Warming. So basically no matter what weather patterns do it is because of the GW. What a bunch of crock.
|
:) I am having a little trouble following that logic as well. Apparently the next 30 year "mini ice age" is just a bump in the road on the way to warmer temps?? OOkkkk then....

One explanation as to how Global Warming is causing colder Winters. The ocean current that flows to the Equator and back up the coast with the warm water which transfers heat makes its turn by Iceland I believe it is. As the ice melts, cold, fresh water forces the current deeper, therefore when it makes it next trip by the Equator it is deeper and picks up less heat. It is like an endless loop that is sinking farther every time it goes by where the glaciers are melting.

Let's just say that one scientist's headline-grabbing announcement, as pandered by Faux News, has about as much value as a fart in a windstorm. The topic and the position don't really matter; you can find "a top scientist" who will express damn near any opinion you can imagine, especially if the cameras are rolling.
As with the effects of global climate change, it's the whole and not any specifics that matter. |

Go rent the movie "The Day After Tomorrow". It assplaines how global warming will cause the next ice age.

Your weather likely will change - likely has changed over the last decade. I know it has here in the Central Valley. But "global warming" doesn't mean you'll be living in a desert next week. |
Gunner, finally a decent explanation for the nightly weather forecast. :)

"Many researchers are convinced that low solar activity, acting in concert with increased volcanism and possible changes in ocean current patterns, played a role in that 17th century cooling."

The climate on this planet has always changed. What happens today, this week, or this year really isn't all that important. What will happen over the next 100 or 200 years is far more important. IF indeed the average temperature of the planet increases by several degrees, the ice on Anartica will begin to melt and the level of the oceans will rise placing many cities in danger.
Some people are playing the global warming theme for profit. Some just want to be on TV. I have no idea if we really are seeing global warming but I do believe that the human race is not taking good care of this planet. Wayne |
Wayne,
We aren't taking care of the planet for sure. And the ice is melting as is easily seen in Glacier National Park. Also look at Iceland and the Polar ice caps as more huge pieces crumble into the ocean. But I think it is more of a regular cycle than anything that mankind has caused. And as we pave over more and more of the land for the sake of money, there is no doubt it is going to help cause some bad effects. But I believe there will be food and water wars before we have to worry abut the land wars because of Global Warming. The population is increasing all the time and the amount of land for producing food is shrinking as they use it for malls and such. And also the water situation around here is going to be very bad next Summer if we don't get more than the occasional day or so of light rain this Winter. Ron |

There are already water disputes in the south west US as more and more people place ever-increasing demands on a limited amount of fresh water. A knowledgeable person told me that it is going to get very ugly in northen Africa when the Nile is dammed and Egypt no longer has all the water it has enjoyed for centuries. Sorry, didn't mean to hi-jack the thread. :o:o Wayne |
Wayne,
You never hijacked the thread. We have been fighting over water here for the last three years. Sacramento wants all of it for their Delta and there just isn't enough left in Shasta Lake to furnish all the farmers, Sacramento, and generate electricity. And this is one thing they can't throw money at and make better as the snow pack is nothing at this time and when there is a little we have some warm days and it melts. If this continues, and they are saying we will have a cold, dry Winter, then next Summer is going to be bad. They still have some of the canyons that the lake normally has full closed off because the little rivers that flow through them are so low that boats will hit rocks and tree stumps if allowed to go into them. We have already been told to start cutting back on our home water usage. And this is the main part of our rainy season. Ron :( |

Joe,
If what they say is correct the water isn't what is melting the ice. As the ice cover shrinks and more land becomes uncovered we lose the area of reflection of the sun plus the ground soaks up heat and adds to the melting process. I know that most of the huge glaciers in Glacier National Park have melted in the past years but that could be just a normal cycle. I really don't buy into the Global Warming is the cause of everything theory. Ron |
