"It's the biggest snowstorm in years with sub freezing temperatures. So much for global warming"
-you farking idiot

"There's way less snow than normal for this time of year. Global warming is really hitting hard"
-OH. MY. GOD

Subby's post should've been canceled due to too much global derping, but it's Fark and the modmins are bored - guess it's time to shake the ant farm again.

I still would like for you internet scientists to explain how humans can control currents and the jet stream(which is the reason for warming) and before all of you start screaming "its our co2 emissions that caused it!!!" Go and find out how the desert in egypt used to be a flood plain and helped build the pyramids but ocean current and jet stream changes ended up drying up the rains.

Sometimes people make headlines that do not necessarily reflect fact in an attempt to make it funny, so the chances of it going green go up.

I am not subby, but loled at the headline.

About a decade ago, I did the Iditarod Race, which is 1,049 miles from Anchorage to Nome. It was a hellacious winter with temperatures never rising above -20 F. Over 60% of the mushers died during the trek that year and only four teams, myself included finished. It was the first and last time I subjected myself to that kind of punishment.

I was stuck on an ice flow for three days, unable to proceed until the giant fissure ahead of me collided with another ice flow, create a temporary and temperamental bridge. In that cold and loneliness, the mind goes to some unfathomably strange places. At one point, I imagined I was eating from a giant pan of warm sloppy joe meat. I came out of the hallucination to find that I'd gutted one of my dogs and was eating its innards straight from its corpse. Later, I imagined I was making love to small, furry fantastical creature. It was the best sex I'd ever had until I realized that I was balls deep in Mitsy, my lead dog. We avoided eye contact for the remained of the trip. When the ice bridge finally formed, I was almost too dazed to proceed and it was only Misty's desire to get off the ice flow that got us out of there safely.

Unfortunately, all but four of my dogs perished during the final leg of the race. And the rules state that you must have at least six dogs when you cross the finish line, or you are disqualified. So even though I had the best time, I didn't win due to my lack of living dogs. And when you are disqualified from the race, you aren't mentioned in any of the race histories or any other documentation whatsoever. It's really too bad because it changed my life.

I thought dogsledding was the optimal mode of transportation in deep snow. I guess it has it's limits.

In the meantime, Minnesota just broke the record for the latest subzero temperature into winter ever recorded. Just saying.
 
2012-01-19 11:10:13 AM
When it is warmer more water evaporates into the air and the air stream patterns change.

This leads to some areas getting more precipitation than normal.
(My area crushed the rainfall record by 17.5 inches in 2011)

and other areas getting less than normal (Texas drought)

In an area where the winter temps are normally below 0 Degrees Fahrenheit if the temperature were to increase 1 to 2 degrees it will still be well below freezing. Hence the extra precipitation will be in the form of increased snowfall.

Math and science are not hard guys.

What's the next money/fame generating experiment for the members of the Church of Scientific Intolerance?

I conclude it will be increased solar radiation caused by man somehow creating earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Or maybe oil drilling, the specific actions will be determined later.

Blah blah increasing global average does not preclude local negative fluctuations whatever nobody cares we've done this thread dozens of times before so let's post dog pictures instead.

Everybody thinks that sled dogs just magically run through the snow, but the truth is, they can't run through deep snow any better than you can. Those race routes are on plowed roads or in areas of little snow.

And now, in an attempt to derail a global warming thread, some sled dog pictures:

You know, I was going to go with all of the data and smart people who say that the current phase of climate change is caused by pollution from human industrial activity. But gosh darn it, YOUR ALL-CAPS TYPING CONVINCED ME THAT I ALONG WITH ALL OF THOSE SMART SCIENTIST PEOPLE WERE WRONG!

Really? The G.W.Bush administration is in on the GW conspiracy??? They both do have GW in them!!

Because, as you probably already know, the terms Global Warming and Global Climate Change have always been used in the scientific community. But GCC only went into wide spread use after Dubya's administration decided to admit that GW was happening (after years of denial) but decided to use the term GCC because they thought it sounded less threatening.

So the question is - why do you hate the Republicans so much???

Excellent work submitter

An off-the-chart effort...a headline of sublime richness, delineation and nobleness.... it offers up provocative aromas of honesty, falsity, liberal guilt and conservative disbelief, and draws both Fark skeptics and bleeding hearts straight to the article. It traverses the mind with extraordinary richness as well as remarkable freshness and definition. The finish is pure troll, but the headline's low visibility and higher than normal staying power suggests it will be approachable in 4-5 years... again, a brilliant effort.

Had a husky-mix ages ago.
Lovely dog, and lots of fun, but she NEVER GOT TIRED.

Let her pull you along for an hour's walk? Not tired, at all.
Take bike ride with her alongside? Not tired. Still rarin' to go.
Take her off-lead down to the river, throw sticks for an hour? Not tired.

Ended up having a laundry basket full of yard-sale toys for her to destroy, just to keep her away from socks, shoes etc. when she was bored and awake.

/getting a husky = 2 gym memberships for price of a dog
//luckily she would also sleep when bored, but would still become instantly alert if we went near the door.
///gave her bricks of frozen meat to eat outdoors. In winter. She loved it.
////thinks she would have driven us insane had she been pure-bred Husky.
