Lando Lincoln: How many goddamn times does this need to be explained?

As long as we've been trying to get these farkers to accept evolution as a valid theory.

Mentat: So do we have to explain this in every climate change thread?

Yes. It seems we are making the mistake of using words with greater than two sylla-... um... word... sounds.

/pretty much summing up what this thread will become

FlashHarry: i wonder where all those people were when nebraska, iowa and illinois were experiencing 60º temps a few weeks ago.

Seattle got nailed and there was record snowfall in Colorado. Your argument is invalid. I mean have you seen the temps in Alaska?!

But, if humans evolved from monkeys, then why are there still monkeys without jackets in February?

It is winter?

elev8meL8r: But, if humans evolved from monkeys, then why are there still monkeys without jackets in February?

well the biting cold didn't kill them off as expected but at least we're rid of those Chinese needle snakes

I blame it on the metric system.

it's like 30 degrees out right now libtards how can the global be warming?? suck it libs!!!

Andromeda: Well yeah, it's not like that Gulf Stream does nothing.

Disagrees

The other day a doctor tried to convince me my body had a fever, but I was like that's impossible because my hand is cold! Then I threw the snowball at him.

Bring on the green text shiat storm.

Global warming can't possibly exist because my brother-in-law's friend's boss' sister had to put on a sweater last week.

Boy, the recent weather is completely unprecedented. Never before has such weather occurred.

The term "Global Climate Change" predates the term "Global Warming".

Both are media terms.

Subby has no idea how Global Warming works....

/Subby is why Global Warming had it name changed to Global Climate Change

Its just a weather pattern...nothing to do with global warming or climate change

Hold on, people. We need real experts in here to explain to us why it's just a myth by the big business interests of green technology. Genera Jim where art thou?

FTA: Arctic Oscillation...keeps Arctic air over the poles.



Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: I don't know but I been told...

Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Eskimo pussy is mighty cold.
Marines: Eskimo pussy is mighty cold.
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: MMM, good...
Marines: MMM, good...
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Tastes good...
Marines: Tastes Good...
Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Feels Good.
Marines: Feels good.

Meanwhile in my city, the lowest temperature this winter was the same as the record low for APRIL.

If this weather is finally the global warming the bleating treehuggers have been moaning about ....gimmeee more! I like it!

Oh brother, this was explained ad nauseam in Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth". This definitely ain't news. But I guess that's why I'm on Fark.

Allen262: Subby has no idea how Global Warming works....

/Subby is why Global Warming had it name changed to Global Climate Change

The name was never changed ... please do not feed into this lie.

If you look at the scientific literature going back to the 1970's you will see both terms in common use. Global warming describes the cause and Global Climate Change describes the effect.

/GCC came into common use in the public forums when the Bush Jr. administration decided to admit GW was happening but wanted to use a less-scary term.

Makh: /Where's your cod now, Newfoundland?

lol (+1)

Andromeda: Well yeah, it's not like that Gulf Stream does nothing.

I'm living in Amsterdam, and it's been a really strange winter. Two weeks ago I was photographing daffodils on the Amstel River, two days ago I was photographing this just next to my apartment-

/ice skating in the city doesn't happen every year

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the canals in Amsterdam are supposed to freeze over in winter.

Those who say there's no global warming lack the intellect to grasp the big picture of what's happening. Something's caused Arctic air to stop coming down through North America, and it just so happens there's a tiny trickle left to make Europe cold. This isn't normal. Nights here lately have felt like September, not February. And that's how its been ALL WINTER. It keeps this up, this winter will have been nothing but 60 degree days and 40 degree nights. No snow, and barely any reason to even wear long pants.

Normally this kind of weather pattern only occurs during mid-summer. No arctic air is coming down, at all. Doesn't that scare anyone? If the ice cap disappears, it could very well mean that the core of cold air over the north pole could disappear too. No more winter, just one endless 90-100*F summer stretching into the next. Who seriously wants that!? I'd rather move to Antarctica.
