So the sub zero temps at the poles would be experienced in the lower reaches of the the arctic, the arctic weather would be felt in Canada, the Canadian weather would be felt in the US and so on...
So according to Al, increased colder than normal winters in the mid atlantic for instance is PROOF of global warming 
That way they can have it both ways:
When it's warmer than normal = Global Warming
When it's colder than normal = Yup. Global Warming.
But don't question the Roitard - she's a scientist |
i spoke with my father the other day about his trip to my parents place in virginia. he said the water on the adjacent island (assateague national wildlife refuge) was lower than he'd ever seen it-and we've been going there for 40-odd years. but, i thought with ice melting, waters were supposed to rise? oops.
thing is, when scientists discuss warming and cooling, they also mention past ice ages, and past droughts, high temps, etc. so, if this is something this planet has encountered in times' past, how is it suddenly man-made? to me, that's a logical question to ask.
it reminds me of when the first few planets were all going to be aligned with one another in a straight line. they said it was the first time in 3,000 years it had happened. many were saying that 'the world will end because of this'. er, why didn't it end 3k years ago then???
back to warming and cooling...anyone else here watch deadliest catch? this last season was one of the worst they experienced, with ice coming so much lower than normal this year. at one point, they had to suspend crabbing for a month as all the crab grounds were covered in ice. then there was the freak freezing in europe this past winter, and record snowfalls there and elsewhere.
it all comes down to the same thing as other threads here, such as the shooting in aurora. people want to think they have control-weather is random. lunatics with guns are random. people don't like random. so, if we just try hard enough, we can control weather....right?
