Can Climate Change Explain Odd Weather?What We Dont Know?

I wish i could answer this question. I also heard that places that had their winter months was going to chance to summer all year long and then the southern states that have basiclly summer all year round where going to start having winter months. Today 2-5-07 it is -25 here toady in Michigan. It is really cold. They say tomorrow is going to be colder. My kids didn't even have school today becasuse of it being so cold.

Yah i know isnt it crazy do you think they will have school tomorrow? Though i dont know how they blame global warming for it being cold i guess it has somthing to do with it. I heard up by the greatlakes that there were very violent winds and all and it is like -30 or somthing.

I don't know that it happening that rappidly. We just haven't really taken notice until the past few years. Here in Iowa we would have usually had a couple opf good snow storms but so far not that many. We have had really cold weather but not much snow really. We use to have snow and stuff like that for Christmas but nothing for the past 4-5 years if I'm remembering right. The summers haven't been nearly as hot either. We use to have well over 100 heat index but maybe only one or two the past few years.

it really sad what the world come down to, it get worst every year, in wisconsin sometime we dont even get snow till late january, when it used to be around november, the world or should i say the earth changed so much in a few years, i am not suprise if the whole plant freze over like the movie "day after tomorrow," (if you never see you should) kinds scary if they think about it, it may actualy happend.

well in michigan we have had an exceptanally cold winter and a avery hot summer but this is michigan and if you live here you know that the weather changes every five minutes so if you dont like it wait in october we had snow then it didnt snow again till january and we all thought it was spring untill then.

Well the hole in the ozone might be fixable all they have to do is figure out a way to make massive amounts of I think the element is o3 and then place it back in the ozone so it is not beyond fixing. though it is human nature to suck a place dry then move on that is what we are good at so i belive that one day we will all leave earth and go to another planet and eventually keep going on and on untill we die out

We dont know how much is going to kick our b..ts. Weather is crazy already, I am afraid of comming year weather and extreme changes. Scientists are always late with everything.

Part of the reason for the weather in the U.S. is El Nino, which happens every 3 or 4 years. So I think that's a lot of what's going on, not global warming. But I think global warming is definitely a problem and will get worse.

I read something years ago that the weather was going to change but the way it would change would be winter would cange to summer and summer into winter. It was over 30 years ago I read this so I cant remeber where it came form. and ya have to look at the population groth on this the more people there are the more air we use and more cars exhausts emmisions also the factories that let out smoke from their smoke stacks to me that is worst than people smoking ,but that is another subject ha ha

I do not think it is rapid, because since my childhood I can hear about global warming. And I am 33 in this year! The problem is that for the most countries the money is more importan than the future. There are a few quite big countries which do not do their best to save environment(for example USA, India, China) So it is not because of rapidness, but the mistake of people. Just think to The Green Peace, which is a very old organization.

Yes the temperatures have been really frigid this winter throughout US not even sparring Texas! Temperature change has to do with human activities tempering the atmosphere... It was very well known even before the UN sponsored research showing that human activities were responsible for changes. I watched the movie "Dzay after tomorrow" and still feel cold thinking about the movie. Well Its not one country but world as a whole are responsible for such damage. This is the test of humans... Whether people can forget the man made borders and act as one... or will we loose the battle fighting seperately.... This is the time to fight with it.... or else it will kill all of us before any terrorists could kill us. I feel atmosphere change is as big a problem as any other. I hope world takes some affirmative action as one and help the atmosphere in time.

It has to do with developing countries. While the United States is still the major contributor to global warming many other countries are catching up. China I believe is expected to catch the U.S. in that respect within the next 10 years. With more and more countries dumping pollution into the atmosphere it will get much worse. The best description of what will happen is the documentary "The Inconvenient Truth" I watched that last night and it will scare anyone. Yes it is made by Al Gore but regardless of what you may think of him it is clear he has been and will continue to be a voice crying in the wilderness. He very convincingly provides proof of what has and what is happening to the world. As he put it so well....we are entering into a day of reckoning. We all had better wake up for once it is too late there is nothing we can do. Nothing.

Off course...it is. But it may be not naturally what we think. The rapid and odd changes in climate are mainly due to human interference in nature, which has totally disturbed the climate cycle. And we all how we are disturbing the nature's balance...GLOBAL WARMING and THE HOLE IN THE OZONE LAYER are the main effects of the human activities.. if this remains continue, then unfortunately the present situation is just beginning.....!

I belive that history repeats its self so i think it is the beging of the ice age not so sever like it is here but it is still comming and somthing is goint to make it but you never know it could just get really hot and then melt glaciers like in Day after tomorrow

Well, I do not really know about that at all. But, I think you have an interesting point there. I guess that is just something else.
