Do you feel that weather patterns are changing?

Scientists have studied weather patterns in the arctic by boring into the ice pack with a hallow drill. The resulting bore shows the weather patterns for hundreds of years. These tests have shown that over the centuries the weather does have patterns. Studies of the sun indicate that the sun also has weather patterns, some of which effect the earth's weather. No one can say for sure that these unusual weather patterns are natural or man-made! Perhaps it is a combination of both, but in any case I believe that we do need to clean up our act, and stop polluting our home planet!

I'd say they're changing big-time. Some people like to deny it or to shrug it off like something we don't need to worry about because there's nothing we can do about it, but I think we have to start all doing our small parts in protecting the environment. In my area it was bitter cold for a few weeks, then yesterday and today it was quite warm. That happens but the odd thing was last night I was on my porch shortly after midnight and I was a lightning bug...in Pennsylvania...in January! Earlier in the evening my cats were going crazy and I saw they were chasing a fly. Now, nobody can tell me that's normal! Annie

Hi Pose Yes I think they are to be honest as the last 2 Winter have got colder and we have seen more snow then we have in many Years In the Summer it was hotter then it has been in ages and we did not get as much Rain as we usually do in the Summer so yes I think it certainly is changing

Hello Pose. You are right that the weather patterns are changing these years. Like this year, it started to be very cold much earlier than ever and more natural disasters have taken place including droughts and floods in our country. And it seems that some other places in the world are experiencing the same change of weather pattern. It is high time for us humans to be more aware of the protection of the environment. Have a good day.

I really don't know Pose, but because I have lived in Ohio all my life, it seems it never is the same. One year we will have warm winters and the next, buried in snow for weeks. The last couple years are a good example. Last New Years, we got the first of two horrible snowstorms that shut down most of the city. This year it was warm and in the 50's...Ohio weather is also ever changing; one day it will be nice and warm and the next day I am digging for my winter coat..lol

I do feel that the weather is somewhat changing. I have noticed a bit of a difference. At least, where I am, this change hasn't happened all at once, but it has slowly changed, over the last few years.

Well, a lot of people think that this is happening because of Global warming ,but I think that his happens once or twice in every century. Don't get me wrong, I really believe that is important to take care of our planet ,but I don't believe that every single weather event is related to Global Warming either.

I do feel like it's changing a bit.....we have had a ton of snow...then cold.then snow....then cold...it's been a few years since we had this much. Back in 1969 when I graduated from high school we had tons of snow and this is the first year that I can remember in a long time that we have had this much...Arizona even had some the day before yesterday...in Phoenix!

Hi Pose: I am not a scientist but from what I see I would say that is true and climate is really changing. I remebered when I was a kid, thinks weren't that way. My parents think the same: now when we see climate changing there are more castastrophes... it's aweful. Now we see more disasters because of the weather than in the previous years and it makes me really nervous. I think we are guilty of these changes actually. ALVARO

I think it really does, yes, the weather patterns do change this days and its very alarming considering that its a natural thing and we cannot do a major thing about it, what we could do was just to slow the the changing patterns of our weather, but its already there and we couldn't erase it totally. Here in our country, what I could say is that, typhoons and heavy flooding was really heavier and stronger unlike before. Its really true that global warming exist and climate change are there. So let's act now to at least minimize its huge effect on us. We only have one world to live in, let's love our home. Have a nice day ahead!

Whether or not the climate is changing isn't really up to a vote, much like the economic state of the world. The spread sheets don't lie, unfortunately. I say enjoy while we can.

I can say that for my country, Bulgaria, the weather is much different last years. Last New Year we had temperatures with possibility for going to the beach, around the date of this new year the temperatures was around 1-2 degrees, we have no snow. When i was child, i remember cold winters with a lot of snow. Last year we had snow in the start of the spring, which was not normal. For me something wrong happens with the weather, my boyfriend says it's because a lot of cataclysms are waiting us soon, i read two or three months ago here that in the Bible it's written that the end is near when we can't understand which season is it... I think may be the reason is the global heating .... But nobody knows what's wrong. And i know that may be somewhere in the world there are people who know what is the answer of the question, because of many analysis, but i think that people will be the last who will understand what's wrong. Even if some scientists know what happens, they would never tell the world, because of the panic which will happen after giving that information.

I think that it is getting changed a little and it is creating problems. Last year will be remembered to me for a long time because it broke records in Temperature and also in rain. I think that temperature is going to extremes, up to a level where either people have to get into the cold water to get some relief or to the other level where one have to hide under the quilt to get some heat. Raining is changing its usual times. One have to wait for it to get his crops in the fields, because it is not in its usual time. So I agree with you.

I will say yes it looks like we are in a weather cycle change and it will change again in about 20-30 year i believe that the weather patterns cycle every few decades.

We've had two heavy snow falls last year one after another, this is a phenomenon we've never had it soooo bad and it grounded everything to a halt, because we are not used to it, a few flurries, but not to the extent we got it, we usually get snow in January or February so it's doubly rare to get bad snow in December, I hope this is not a sign of things to come, the temperatures plummeted and it was like Siberia. Personally I put it down to Global warming which means this is only the start of things to come.

I think we are seeing major changes in the weather patterns. The publicity about whether it is global warming caused by man's actions or not is receiving a lot of controversy. A lot of that has to do with money. It is going to be very profitable for the makers of all of the green technology such as electric cars, solar panels, updating the power grid, etc. The current manufacturers of gasoline powered goods and the status quo are looking at a loss of profits on their end. But I agree that it just makes sense for all of us to do what we can to live leaner and greener.

For me it is rare of this month because here in our place yesterday the weather is good and now it is not good

Yes, yes, a lot of strange, strange things are happening to our environment. Years back, the rains didn't scare me at all. Now, I notice that there is an unusual sound and force brought about by rain. I could imagine spears falling on the rooftops---so so scary. And I also notice the frequency of people hit and killed by lightning.Whenever there are rains and lightnings, you can be sure that the following day you will see someone or people getting struck by lightning. That's so scary.

I do not know why,surely the weather change everyday.The innormal weather is very common.We must protect our entainment.
