If this is another global warming thread I think I'll pass thank you. :rolleyes:

Yeah, liquid water and an atmosphere, quite unusual...

Unusual? Hardly.

It's cold, and I don't like it.


That is all.

They're not that unusual when you look at long-term patterns.

There you go.

Are the clouds all forming frowny faces?

If that ever happened I would begin preparations for the apocalypse.

It would certainly be a bad sign. *nod*

When the clouds are afraid, we should be very, very afraid.

Now if the clouds start mooning me or something, I'll conclude that you perfected your weather machine, and will prepare for a rain of mud, or tacos.

I'm working on it. :)

We're going through a climate shift. No worrys, happens every 200-400 years. Temperature will rise, some strange weather during the transition stage. No big deal, ya?

Well, no big deal on the geological scale. The Earth doesn't care a whit if it's covered in ice or steamy swampy vegetation.

We might care if if we're living in a post-prime Kevin Kostner movie however.

Yeah, if it hadn't been for global warming my snow would have laster longer. But the sunshine in summer is a nice change to what it used to be like in UK. Um i'm sure it'l get worse before it gets better.
Happy pirate day

Oh man, the other day I got hit with a piece of green fuzzy hail. It was fucking wierd. Oh, no wait, it was just a tennis ball. Never mind.

You're assuming that this will be another ice age or some sweltering volcano ridden hell. More than likely it's gonna be another change like the medieval warm period or the little ice age.

Very true, but even a slight temperature change of a few degrees can have pretty severe economic and political repercussions.

Go read the IPCC report, and a few peer-reviewed scientific papers such as the ones it uses as sources, before I tear you into shreds over the Internet.

Go. Now. Before it's too late.

I also might point out that by now we should be coming to the end of the current interglacial, and yet temperatures are still rising.

Good open-ended OP.
:D
A few people here have already done more than their share of input.

Meh. I've had enough of debating with people recently.
I feel that threats might work better in light of the non-success I've been 'enjoying'.

So people want to handle you nicely, which is commendable, but i'll just say you need to be a little more educated on the topic.

...and see if there's any evidence as to why people are going to and have been telling you to educate yourself further on the problem.
Oddly enough, these will probably satisfy the OP question as to my position.

Sometimes it's the Teddy Roosevelt approach, sometimes it's the Patton approach. :)

Ah, so you have experience in this! :D
A perfect summary, yes.

And if those goddamned sons of female dogs don't listen to scientists then I'll shoot their yellow backs off.

Although he was considerably worse than that. :)

Oh, and I read the actual report mentioned in that last link you posted. The newspapers blew it up out of proportion, in that it was merely an exploration of a world in which climate change had basically gone critical and we experienced a massive abrupt shift in the next few years, but it still wasn't pleasant reading.

If this thread's on long enough, i hope Desperate Measures shows up. I never would've fought so hard about it if it weren't for him. He's awesome. :)
My dad was telling me something about high winds inland because of CA's weather, and i told him that everyone enjoys these El Nino winters.

Moi?
If you do mean me, that's okay - i just searched the forum for my nation name and the subject matter. There's a few worthwhile links and posts on that thread, if not actually the OP.

Thank you. *bows*

I demand that you do sig it! :D

Yes. It was an interesting read, actually; if you haven't read it then I'll see if I can dig it up from whichever hellhole folder I have it in.

I'm sick of the drought we've had for the last 5+ years, we desperately need some good, consistant rain.
