What's the weather like where you are?

[Stwert]

Shit! It’s Scotland. It’s always shit

Actually, for a change we had a nice summer and a surprisingly mild winter. Still bitterly cold now, but compared to our usual winters, mild.

You see, as the planet gets warm, air rises. When other air moves in to take its place, this causes something called wind. Wind pushes other air around the planet in something called currents. The hotter the planet gets, the stronger these currents are. They become so strong in fact that they begin to push artic air further towards the equator. This air is very cold, and causes the area that it hits to reach record low temperatures.

You see, that is a very limited knowledge of how the wind currents work on Earth. There are winds being generated by the rotation of the Earth, called trade winds. (Coriolis related stuff, if that tells you something...) You are welcome to read more about the subject.

Trade winds are an airflow from high to low pressure areas. Temperature affects air pressure.

What are you trying to add with this statement?

When you spoke about difference in temperature (which is related to pressure) you said that it was creating wind. "The planet getting warm" being the root cause of it. But wind patterns are more complex than that principle as the rotation of Earth affects the wind distribution.

And if you look at how trade winds are distributed around Earth, you would see that there is no direct path flowing from the Ecuator to the poles.

The weather in Florida is just bipolar... hot one second.... hot and wet the next

That global warming creates extreme temperatures of both hot and cold.

For example, last week it was -3f here with a wind chill of -25, but only for a couple days. It was 65 yesterday. Record temperature changes. It was a winter storm push down from the north. As the planet heats and that air moves. Cold air comes in to replace it. The greater the space, the more air that comes in, and the colder that air is. We went from temperatures too low to too high for this time of year in a week.

Global warming is a very real thing. The overall climate has shifted drastically in the short period of our lifetimes.

Your first statement goes in line with what I expressed on my first post. Global warming includes extreme cold now? But I thought it was warming up on a planet level.. The notion is contradictory.

Now, that you use an example of temperature shift of a week's time to argue that global warming is a very real thing is not a very compelling argument. Humans have been measuring temperatures for over a period of 130 years, and we are coming to easy conclusions out of them. But when studying the Earth Geologically we use the Aeon (1 million years) as a magnitude. And the last glaciation analysed (the shortest as per the studies done) lasted over 20000 years. (Some data mentions cycles estimated between 40000 to 100000 years) Yet we can conclude without any doubt that it is now a global warming and caused by humans, nonetheless.

Based on the above, sorry but I am not buying it.

EDIT: Also, solar flares and solar activity is influencing the Earth's climate in a very significant way. In fact, when a big solar explosion happens, after a certain amount of time, the Earth is affected by it.

Earth's revolution around the Sun is also affecting the climate. Let's not forget about it as well. And that one is more difficult to estimate.

"The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.

The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia."

This document is mostly taking extracts of different studies. You can follow up on the footnotes.

In that sense you can also take extracts of other studies that do not give the same message.

For example that lower amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere lead to lower volumes of flora on the Earth's surface.

 

[IrishMelody]

The past couple days have been a nice 70°F/21°C and sometimes an even nicer 60°F/15°C, lots of clouds in the sky which is always pretty to look at, and its supposed to start raining soon too. I love the rain. <3

That's called research

We're just going to have to agree to disagree. If that list of resources, which is a goldmine of data by several different groups that have independently found evidence of global warming, isnt enough for you, then nothing will be. It's clear you have a belief that supersedes any sort of factual data.

There are other studies that can be considered as factual data, as you say, that say that there's no evidence in global warming. But I agree to disagree with you.

Have a good day

Hello.

Sunny and -3 ° celcius.

For the last 2 mornings is Carwindshield icescraping my "hobby".

 

[xpoverzion]

-2F/-19C right now.

 

[Alexander1970]

-2F/-19C right now.

WHAT ?!?!?! -19° ???? on Gaza Strip ??

 

[xpoverzion]

Haha! No, I'm in Colorado/U.S.A. right now.

 

[Alexander1970]

Funny on Gaza Strip it has EXACTLY 16° PLUS

 

[Deleted User]

Weather in Brisbane, Australia is hot and muggy.
It been raining as of lately which means its a bit cooler, peaking at around 30 deg C (86 F), but this has also brought the humidity up so you feel gross all day.
