[Closed] Did global warming / climate change cause the snow???????

It's the temperature drop due to winter, what caused the snow.

It's the ice age. We've fought it off with co2 for a while, but its won.

Did global warming paranoia cause lives?

Councils are assured that snow events are a thing of the past, and fail to invest in stocks of salt or gritting facilities....

FLOG HIM - before he starts with crazy things like 'it gets warm due to it being summer' 😉

Excellent lets all get confused between weather and climate 🙄

in that case were all gonna have to run range rovers in the spring to bring on summer....and then smart cars in the autum to bring on winter?

something called arctic oscillation apparently

is that when a lorry has a speed wobble?

Ha. Cos it's cold here right now you see! So the Earth can't be getting hotter! I see what you did there.

Aye - something like that. Whats even funnier is our usual weather is going further south than usual - so its 'orrible in spain and round the med and so on. We are getting an easterly that usually runs a load north of us - air from siberia.

Its great 🙂

I'm jealous, at my place just east of Vancouver (height around 350m) we have had 1-2m of snow the last two years by this time. Its like a ****ing summers day out there today and we've had about two flurries all winter! give us it back you thieving b@stards!!!!

How do you titillate an ocelot?
Oscillate it's t1t a lot

That's strange, because there's no global warming. It snowed in Hampshire you see.

Good point. Thank goodness no one tried to blame the recent bad weather in the lake district on climate change.

Isn't he saying that, because of climate change, there's more likelihood of those kind of events happening? He's not saying "there were flodds so climate change exists!"

Yep, the clue was in the second sentence of that article :

[i]"They warn that, although no single event can be attributed to climate change, the warming of the atmosphere caused by greenhouse gases means such disasters will become more frequent."[/i]

Note the use of the term : [i]"[b]no single event can be attributed to climate change[/b]"[/i]

No. The floods prompted an article on how extreme weather is an expected consequence of climate change:- i.e weather and climate are not completely separate entities, the climate effects the weather, the weather reflects the climate. Until it snows, when anyone wondering how unusually cold extreme weather is evidence of a warming climate is dismissed as "confused".

but did humans and their carbon cause the climate to change causing us long cold spell...or is it sumthing to do with the CERN?

"no single event can be attributed to climate change"

Without climate change, some of those "single events" would not happen. So it's a silly statement don't you think?

So it's a silly statement don't you think?

No, not at all.

Trying to use [i]one event[/i] to figure out whether climate change is occurring, would be silly though.

As would, trying to figure out which baked bean in the can made you fart.

I have been building a theory over the last few months... and this is fitting in rather nicely.

You know how the last few summers have been pants since the Jet Stream has been pushed south during the summer into a more Autumnal position, driving in Autumn and Winter type storm patterns... I figured that if it moved to that position as it's default then in our winter it could push further south giving our winter weather to southern Europe, and giving us more of a Scandinavian style weather pattern.

My reasoning - Climate Change is putting more energy into the atmosphere, which is increasing wind speeds. The Jet Stream flows around the planet, so if you increase the speed it gets pushed "out" and hence moves down more towards the equator... and lets the arctic air into northern Europe.

It's probably wrong, but it's a bit of a hunch that has been niggling me for a while. If I am right in this, and the next few winters are the same... I am getting me a Skidoo!

the increase in pirates has reduced global warming therefore saving the planet, it must be true I've seen it on a graph
