Record heatwaves in the southern hemisphere, record blizzards in USA, isn't this proof of global warming?

Question

Notice how we keep setting historical records for extreme temps but people keep claiming the climate is not changing.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AFP) – The worst heatwave to hit Rio de Janeiro in 50 years turned the city into a pre-Carnival furnace Wednesday, and killed 32 elderly people further south, officials said.

Feb 12, 2010
The eastern US seaboard was spluttering back to life Friday after a record snowfall paralysed the region for most of the week.

Wednesday's blizzard, on top of heavy weekend snowfall, affected tens of millions of people and turned the 2009-2010 winter into the snowiest ever on record for Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia.

What does it take to convince people?

Answer 1

Sure, maybe the climate is changing but, why does it have to be humans' fault? Why is it so impossible that the sun, a gigantic ball of gravity contained fusion energy, can affect the climate?

Answer 2

If you want to point to weather as some indication then explain the lack of hurricanes? Can't can you. Your examples show a total lack of understanding of the subject.





>What does it take to convince people?



Produce a scientific model that accurately predicts the earths temperature cause then someone might actually believe you know something.



Still waiting on that ice age.





BTW what do you think is going to happen if "global warming" occurs and what is your plan to "fix" it? (hint: realistically, its impossible because IF you could get every country behind it, which you cant. By the time we phased out the existing technology it would be far to late) Are you good with spraying sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere as a solution to your make believe problem?

Answer 3

Why cant certain people understand one thing about global warming. oops I mean climate change. Or maybe that's synonymous with hrs and children's family services you know when something is exposed to be terribly wrong our country believes we can simply rename it and people are to stupid to realize its the same bs. Really, I do not doubt the earth is going through a warming period just like the earth goes through cooling periods as pointed out and expressed by other peers who have answered you but I have a deep discernment when some idiot promotes the causes of climate change on man! there simply is not enough data to prove that assertion and when it was presented it fell apart because scientist corrupted the data to make it fit.

Answer 4

Here are the links to the hundreds of things cause by global warming. Things like "Snow" "No Snow" " Ice Caps melting" Ice Caps expanding" The second link cites the news stories.

Answer 5

You forgot that Western Canada (including Vancouver) has been in the 50's for two months! That is from unusually warm Pacific waters, which helped bend the Jet Stream down to Texas and Florida, causing snow there. Idiots see snow in the South and think that it disproves Climate Change. That's like the idiots in 2007 who said, 'WHAT bad economy? I went to the local mall, and I couldn't find a parking place!"

Answer 6

Cold weather is a proof of global warming, Warm weather is a proof of global warming. Everything is a proof of global warming.wtf? Have you ever listened to what your saying. complete delusion.

Answer 7

Yes the earth might be warming but it does not prove it's man made.

Answer 8

In 1974 we were told that a new ice age was upon us...does that mean anything?

Answer 9

If everything is due to global warming can we crank it up enough to melt Obama?

Answer 10

we had record snows in 1816 were it snowed a foot in the northeast during JULY!

Answer 11

...Weatherman can't predict Tuesday's weather on Monday...Why should I trust forecasts for 50 years from now?
