This is the second time in one year that we've gotten snow down here in the South. Nearly the entire state of Mississippi and even parts of Texas got snow these past couple days.
I'm not talking about the occasional flake that melts as soon as it hits the ground. This is the kind that actually sticks and piles up.
And since we still haven't reached our coldest month, there's a good chance we'll get more.
...
You're kidding right?

You know... If you actually use sience to study global warming... it would have the reverse effect that everyone continues to complain about. The Earth would become colder...
Yes, Ramza. I've heard about global cooling, but it barely gets much of a mention in comparison to global warming.
At the risk of seeming like an idiot saying this, I thought global warming was supposed to make our weather more extreme rather than just heat it up. Snow would fit then i guess
Ture. *looks at own last post* You know, one of these days I'll have to learn how to spell...
Global dimming >>> all
The only 'dimming' I can observe which is truly global is the dimming of human awareness.
- Global warming
- Global cooling
- Global dimming
Any more to add to the list?
Global recolonization?
Can we combine them all too "Hoomans r stewpid"

Can we combine them all too "let's see what the Sun does first"

Fixed.
With regards to weather, climate, etcetera...
Sun >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Humans.

More like miffed that most discussions I get into these days regarding climate change immediately leap ahead to 'Humans' before starting with the primary instigator of any sort of weather on Earth: the Sun.
Change in sunspot cycles? Behavior of solar flares? And so on.
Once you consider the possibilities to be had there, THEN we can discuss what humans do.
lol I used something you said in school a while back...
Tell me about it Kayla, over here in your sister state[forgot to put that oops!] we've got quite a bit of snow[as well as flooding =O]. Madness!
>_>
what
Just because the temperature is rising doesn't mean it will never be cold and there will never be cold days.
A counter anecdote would be this winter here in California -- it's summer weather the entire time. It may or may not have something to do with global warming.
But to say "Hey, it's snowing. This means global warming is stupid." is absurd.
It's been very comfortably warm down here, even though it's rainy. I haven't needed a jacket for a while, despite it being mid December.
Then again, it snowed in late April this year.
I thought they weren't allowed to call it global warming anymore because people were getting confused
Happy Holidays.
I honestly wasn't expecting anyone to take me seriously when I posted this. I'm aware that there are legitimate concerns about the state of Earth's climate, but I was simply poking fun at some of the more extreme proponents. I'll try to make the silliness clear next time.
Besides, Psx wins again. The thread's over anyhow.

Eggman broke the dam. 
And TTG is a combo-breaker.
I was actually gonna say "C-C-C-C-COMBO BREEAKER" first, but I opted to go straight to the South Park.
To much effort?
Nah, it's just that overdone joke is overdone.
EDIT: my sig makes eggman look like he had a were-transformation too =F
or maybe a split personality at least, a la "Me, Myself, and Irene"?
Or something more Sybil-esque
but I digress
If Sonic had kept his werewolf form, he'd be warm come Global Cooling what with all that fur.
And TTG is a combo-breaker.
XD! Awesomeness! *is preparing to play KoF Collection* But yea Kayla...I mean I wanted to talk about the mad weather and crap down here anyway. Glad you made a topic about it. Yay for southern weather!!

Well of course solar cycles would have an effect; they always have. The relevant point is about what humans do on top of that. And what happens with more human influence can be compared to what happened with less to show that we have quite an effect. Though for what it's worth, I think an adaptation-focused approach would be better than a mitigation-focused one either way...
Oh and Kayla, it isn't so much that the whole world is warming as that warming is the general trend; in some areas this causes cooling, such as with arctic ice melting adding more cold water to the Labrador current...

I hope it settles on either warm or cold soon. Otherwise, everyone's gonna wind up sick.
Everything will be fine once global retconning occurs.

For real though, i'm already sick. =/
