2. Everyone keeps saying to me "I love this weather. It's like summer!"
I always answer "I don't like this weather. It's NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE SUMMER!"

16. I'm in North Carolina, and it's not supposed to be this warm!
I can tell the changes in the weather over the last 28 years I have lived here. There are periods of weird weather and times when the jet stream brings warm weather up from the Carribean, but there are definite changes toward warmer winters and "weird" weather occurances.

4. There is a glacier in the Alps that has been steadily melting over the
last 50 years. Just seeing it makes you realize global warming has to be doing something

6. Up here in Canada we've had three major thaws
Our normal temperature here at this time of year is between 0 and 20. Yesterday, there was rain and a high of about 35.

And this is the third time this has happened since Xmas.

I've NEVER seen this happen before.

8. There is a problem ,but I was born & raised in Denver and that
ain't unusual at all. Denver's likely to get any kind of weather on any given day. I remember one year when my sister and I were sticking our 4th of July sparklers in the remnants of a snowdrift on the north side of the house. Another year in December I think, it got into the 60's and I did some work on the house outside with no shirt and got a hell of a burn.

11. Remember 5 year ago when it
snowed in MAY! We had a very LONG ,HOT summer. It have seen this in LA, Atlanta and now Denver for the last 40 years. The country is getting hotter and more humid.

9. And meanwhile
Seattle slowly turns one big mud slide with near record rain.
"Record" and "rain" shouldn't even be in the same sentence in Seattle.

10. Unless we change our emmission radically...Humanity is DOOMED
While Bush engages in War, its too easy, the larger more difficult endeavor is addressing GW and GPeace/Sustainability.

More likely these guys think they can live through it all..a Massive die off ...perhaps 5 to 6 billion humans dying due to Famine...then they have have the Earth to themselves....

Then again, a few of us will live to make sure...whoever finds our bones/records...will know the truth...

15. Global warming does have an "upside".
Edited on Thu Jan-19-06 12:23 PM by leeroysphits
I live in Michigan and the winters seem to be getting a little warmer with less snow every year.

So I figure that in a few years or a decade or so, when every thing south of ohio is either desert or tropical and hotter than Panama in summer, all us Michiganders will be sitting on fabulous, sunny, warm resort property. Imagine people actually moving BACK to Michigan! And for the CLIMATE no less... :sarcasm:
