Oh goodie, another global warming thread that is likely to be filled with well-thought-out arguments and rational counterpoints.

Global warming is a fact.

Snowfall in the south is proof that there is no climate change.

derp

Cue the "Aw, jeez" guy, please. I'm sick of this being a pseudo-issue for jabbering hillbillies to rant about...

Calmamity: I can't believe any of you seemingly intelligent people took this headline's stupid, stupid bait.

Blame it on the admins. This would likely have been ignored had it not gotten greened.

Diogenes: That schtick is getting so old you can carbon date it.

And yet it still gets greenlit and people still take the bait.

Ah, getting a jump on the Fox News headlines already, submitter?

Going for a copyright squater sort of thing? Bravo.

jaylectricity: It's funny because it's unseasonably warm up north.

/wearing shorts and a tank top to work today

Yup, I think it hit 70 in Boston yesterday. 70 degrees in New England on November 28th? That ain't right...

And yet, when Texas had 452 days of plus 100 degree days this summer, it wasn't global warming, but the gays fault.

"Global Warming" if you disagree
"Climate Change" if you agree

oh geez, not this again.

people, remember that according to fark, the WEATHER has nothing to do with CLIMATE change, UNLESS (here is the important part) it supports the views that man is responsibile for climate change.

also, remember, if it is warmer than last year, that is climate CHANGE, if it is colder than last year, it is climate CHANGE and if it is the same as last year it is climate CHANGE (since it rarely is exactly the same from year to year)

19F right now and expecting to get snow for the next 2 days. Had snow on the ground since Halloween. Global Warming how does it work!?

/That last part is just being trolly

I'm betting the admins greened it because of the bait. This thread is pretty much guaranteed a 200+ post count.

This is exactly what was predicted by the climate change computer models. All one has to do to verify that is read the IPCC report, chapter 29, entitled "Why a record cold snap will hit the south in late november, 2011".

Seriously, you flat-earthers need to stop listening to Rush Limbought and listen to more science-savvy folks, like George Soros.

Low 60's in upstate NY (near Buffalo) and you're starting the whole 'global warming isn't real' argument. Sure.

I haven't seen snow so far this season. Probably, the first winter I can remember with no snow leading up to 12/1.

Global warming means more of the sun's energy is trapped in the atmosphere. On a macro level, this means overall more warmth, but on a localized level, more energy = wilder weather.

The sun powers snowstorms too. Therefore, global warming will result in more blizzards in strange places.

Approves.

cbackous: AverageAmericanGuy: Global warming is a fact.

the debate is over.

It's certainly over as far as I'm concerned. If some morons want to keep believing that AGW is false or unproven or even unaccepted in the scientific community, I'm willing to let them wallow in their ignorance.

I'll keep pushing for higher CAFE standards and eventually we'll get to the point that they won't even have a reasonable choice to pollute. Either they will buy new "green" products or they will pay ridiculous amounts in taxes on old polluting products.

Calmamity: I can't believe any of you seemingly intelligent people took this headline's stupid, stupid bait.

That's because AGW is really about politics, not science. They MUST shout down the unbelievers who threaten their political power, so no thread is too stupid for them to attempt to suppress.

You do mean 452 continuous days, right? I mean, out of the 365 days in the year and all.

BECAUSE WEATHER IS NOT CLIMATE, RACIST!

Farxist: oh geez, not this again.

Look, subby, the bait in your headline was stupid and the bait here is stupid. Why don't you slow your roll a bit, hold back and learn from the other trolls before you go all in with the derp. Subtlety is a lost art.

Today's forecast here: unseasonably warm with a 100% chance of troll

Climate has nothing to do with temperature, stupid!

Subby:

As I typed my last post ironically I got this email from a meteorologist that sends them out periodically... Its region specific but enjoy anyway.

Good morning everyone,

It looks like we should have a cold front drop south from Central Canada early tomorrow morning through tomorrow night. While this front is expected to bring colder temperatures, I don't think that it is quite cold enough to call it an "arctic". My guess is that it will drop our highs down into the lower to mid 20s in most areas, except in the teens along the US 2 corridor and in ND by Thursday. The main impact from this system will be for snow and winds-especially at the passes. Snowfall amounts in the lower elevations will probably be in the 1-4" range, while the mountains could see 5-10"-all nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year. As far as timing goes, look for the snow to begin over the N ID panhandle/Kootenai region of NW MT after midnight tonight, across the remainder of the northern half of MT/ID by mid-morning Wednesday, and across South Central-Southeast MT and ND by late Wednesday afternoon. While you all in Dickinson may see a few inches, Belle Fourche might be missed (except for a dusting). There will probably be a little blowing snow to deal with across the plains of Central and Eastern MT, but it shouldn't be the worst we've ever seen by a long stretch. The passes will get "iffy" too.

After this system passes, it looks like we remain in a dry, breezy, cold northerly flow for the remainder of the week. The door is wide-open for Arctics to come down from the North Pole, but my model data doesn't show any coming. This is odd, but I will take it. Like you all, I can stand not having -20 to -40 degrees for a while longer.

/Not trolly this time

See, Farxist, now this a significantly better troll post. It has sarcasm and snark that border on kinda funny. It ends with an attack on Rush Limbaugh to lull you in and then pops you with a Soros.

Outstanding job here Seven, you truly iz gud.

Sorry to nitpick, but shouldn't that be "teh gheys"? I know it's a very small point, but I don't want anyone to be offended due to cultural insensitivity.

I do not accept your reality and choose to substitue my own.

Calmamity: I can't believe any of you seemingly intelligent people took this headline's stupid, stupid bait.

You, of course, are in the thread merely to have a well-reasoned scientific debate.

Meanwhile in Florida, it's considerably warmer than it was this time the last couple winters. Last night was the first time all year we've turned the heat on.
