Damn it I'll just go to bed.

With record freezes across Europe and the US, the same, tired watermelons are starting the annual Global Warming^TM circus again. It's the same thing, every god damned year.

Hilarious... and pitiful.

That's why it's called Climate Change. Perhaps you think the glaciers are melting because the earth is getting colder? Maybe that's why the sea level is rising, which affects weather patterns around the world. Maybe Sarah Palin is right and the earth is flat and only 6,000 years old, so this business about the world warming up seems unfathomable to you.

I dare these assholes to name ONE thing that has never been claimed to give you cancer. Just one.

With people claiming all over the place "It gives you cancer!", the words are becoming farking noise at this point. They have been repeated enough times that they have completely lost all meaning, like when you say the word 'purple' six hundred times in a row. After a while it doesn't bring the color to mind anymore, it's just funny sounding noise coming from your mouth.

At least they're not releasing zombies that have been frozen for thousands of years.

That would be cool, though.

Uh, subby?

Excess fresh water entering an ocean and locally altering the salinity drastically would be a deadly pollutant with respect to much of the life there.

So... you can't tell the difference between weather and climate?

As for those Cox & Forkum cartoons ... are those guys serious? Are they really that far from reality?

This is America dude. We don't need your stinking science. We got Guns 'n' Jesus. We will shoot anything that tries to harm us and pray to the sweet baby Jesus that we can kill it real good.

hammettman: it's called Climate Change.


Exactly.

Now that Global Warming^TM has 'changed' to Climate Change^TM, any time the weather changes, it's time to raise taxes!

It's Change^TM... no one can believe in.

Uncle Tractor: you can't tell the difference between weather and climate?


Cold is cold and hot is hot. And it is very, very COLD right now across much of the northern hemisphere.

You lose again, watermelon...

Oh, wait;



As for last winter's cold snap, it was colder than normal in Europe, Russia and the USA. It was warmer than normal everywhere else. The low temperature in your back yard says absolutely nothing about the global average temperature. That's where you teabaggers fail.

The seasonal temperature for the worldwide land surface was the 13th warmest December-February on record, 0.64° C (1.15°F) above the 20th century average. (new window)

The Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) programme of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) promotes systematic and reliable observations of the global atmospheric environment. Of the greenhouse gases that are directly affected by anthropogenic activities, carbon dioxide (CO2) has the largest total radiative effect, followed by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), methane (CH4), tropospheric ozone (O3), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Reliable long-term estimates of sources and sinks appropriate to particular emission management scenarios require very high accuracy and precision observations of the abundance and the vertical distribution of CO2 and CH4 as well as their isotopes and related reactive (O3, CO, NOx, SO2, VOC, etc.) gases. The data are collected and distributed by the World Data Centre for Greenhouse Gases (WDCGG) at the Japan Meteorological Agency. The GAW Scientific Advisory Group for Greenhouse Gases (SAG-GHG) oversees the programme. GAW also issues the annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, which reports on the latest trends and atmospheric burdens of the most influential, long-lived greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), as well as a summary of the contributions of the lesser gases.

The greenhouse effect

The Earth has a natural greenhouse effect due to trace amounts of water vapour (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in the atmosphere. These gases let the solar radiation reach the Earth's surface, but they absorb infrared radiation emitted by the Earth and thereby lead to the heating of the surface of the planet. One needs to distinguish between the natural greenhouse effect and the enhanced greenhouse effect.

The natural greenhouse effect is caused by the natural amounts of greenhouse gases, and is vital to life. In the absence of the natural greenhouse effect the surface of the Earth would be approximately 33 degrees Celsius cooler.

The enhanced greenhouse effect refers to the additional radiative forcing resulting from increased concentrations of greenhouse gases induced by human activities. The main greenhouse gases whose concentrations are rising are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and ozone in the lower atmosphere.

Greenhouse gas observations

Greenhouse gas observations are carried out at a large number of sites on all continents. The most recent map is shown in the GHG Bulletin N. 5. The stations are described in the GAW Station Information System (GAWSIS) operated by EMPA, Switzerland.

Forty-five WMO member countries have contributed CO2 data to the GAW World Data Centre for Greenhouse Gases (WDCGG). Approximately 50% of the measurement records submitted to WDCGG are obtained at sites in the NOAA ESRL cooperative air sampling network. The rest of the network is maintained by Australia, Canada, China, Japan and many European countries (see the national reports in GAW Report No. 168 from the September 2005 Experts Meeting).

All of the WMO Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) monitoring stations contribute data to the WDCGG which are used in the Greenhouse Gas Bulletins listed in the List of Contributors on the WDCGG web page.

Where you watermelons fail is trying to extract even more tax money from a US and Europe that is not only FREEZING TO DEATH, but is economically strangled by liberal spending sprees that (boo-hoo-hoo) must now come to their sorry end.




/the scare tactics don't work anymore and there aren't any more billions to piss down the Global Warming^TM drain. You LOSE, libtard.

Oh, no! NOT dihydrogen monoxide. Here I just found out that there's halides in my table salt. Now this? What next? There's nuclear waste in my smoke detector?

So, water they worried about?
Seriously, the Vikings had settlements in Greenland. Farming settlements, ferodinssake. If you think global warming could kill people, just think what global cooling could do. Imagine if the U.S. and Canada only grew enough wheat to feed its own population. The locals in the Mid-East would be killing each other over pita bread, let alone any other reason.

Uncle Tractor: Gato Negro: Cold is cold and hot is hot. And it is very, very COLD right now across much of the northern hemisphere.


Gato Negro, the reason it's very very cold across much of the northern hemisphere right now is that the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun at this time of year. This means that the northern hemisphere is receiving less sunlight than during other periods of the year and therefore is cooler than normal. We traditionally refer to this cold period of the year as winter. We also refer to the period when a hemisphere receives more sunlight than normal and is therefore hotter as summer.

Also, don´t most climate change models have Europe getting significantly colder with the Gulf Stream shifting south?

Yes. As more icebergs stop the trade winds this will slow down the Gulf Stream.

Also, didn't RTFA, but what I read about it elsewhere, the delegates were asked by a skeptic group into signing a petition banning water (two hydrogens, one oxygen = dihydrogen monoxide), along with a petition for the UN to levy, or at least resolve to levy, punitive tariffs and whatnot against the US for failing to sign on to Kyoto. It seems lots were on board with that.

That's not to say they are really that dumb. It's a trick type question. But I do think it lends evidence as to which why their ideology points.

Do not worry your little heads over these substances being released from glaciers.

It is the xmas season. It is just the Earth re-gifting a few things.

GeneralJim: So, are we supposed to panic because all the DDT and PCBs put into the air thousands of years ago will become exposed as glaciers melt? Are panic-inducing topics that hard to find? This one seems... well, I'll be polite, and say a bit of a stretch.

Ummm.... what? Glaciers weren't just created 6,000 years ago and didn't change until now. I don't know how credible this story is, but it wouldn't be surprising to learn that there is a significant amount of pollution that has been trapped in glaciers. We have been burning a lot of shiat on this planet for hundreds of thousands of years.

Of course, this is all probably a big conspiracy for some scientists to get thousands of dollars worth of grants. The good ole oil industries will continue to fight the good fight, wasting some of their billions of dollars of profit, even though they don't have a vested interest in this.

Riiiight.

And if I'm not mistaken, that's why it's cold in the winter and hot in the summer... every year. I'm also told that the weather isn't exactly the same every year, nor has it ever been. I've even heard that glaciers have come and gone over the centuries and that Global Warming^TM was a much bigger 'issue' in the past than it is now.

So why is that every God Damned time it gets cold, it gets hot, or there's some storm somewhere, liberals demand higher taxes and 'scientists' demand more money?

I think I see the connection. Do you?
