    It looks like global warming is passing Buffalo by.:eek:

    If you want to believe in global warming you can reply "but the snow is melting".

    "Global warming" has more complexities to it than just "warming" every location on the planet. Perhaps retaking 8th grade might help you understand? :D

    Yeah, I heard that there was a lot of snow in buffalo, very early. Many people are surprised here and there.

    I just found that film funny (day after tommrow)... which was an over-the-top view of what global warming would do in a short period of time.

    Anyone ever see this south park episode?

    Pretty harsh words from someone that acts like they never made it out of the seventh grade.

    Either way, it is not unusual to have snow in October. Hell, it snowed in some parts of Northern IL. in July and August back in the 1800s...

    Keep in mind that this debate will never end. It's completely dumb to keep bringing it up since there are already a hundred other such threads on DP alone on the topic. Given that we have only been recording weather for a little over 100 years, I see no possible way to assertain with any degree of certainty not only whether the phenomenmom exists, but if man is even remotely responsible.

    Weather is strange. I remember some pretty warm Septembers in WI, and some really cold ones... We had a cold one this year. Hard to believe I got married outdoors the same time over 5 years ago. Then last week it is in the high 70's, and I'm on the bike again... 2 days later it's snowing here.

    It's gonna get hot and its gonna get cold. We really have no idea when or why, and frankly who gives a crap. If you are cold, move where it is warm. If you are hot, move where it is cold. If you're nuts join the forumpostersunion.

    Someone merge this thread into the miriad of other stupid GC threads...

    OK, let's see my eigth grade science book...ahhh. here it is. Enviroment... Earth Day 1970...ah yes, pollution is getting bad, you will where a gas mask to school by the time you reach high school. And there is a coming ice age with all the pollutants belting out of profitable companies.

    I never did buy that gas mask and the glaciers never made it back to my home town. :D

    Environmentalists (the scientists that come up w/ this thing) ARE liberals... well, democrats at least - "save the planet! Stop war! No nukes! No drilling! No wells! No coal plants! Only alternative energy! Stop wasting funding on terrorists programs, put it for the environment!"

    We were slated for a possibility of snow here in Texas. Being in the upper tip of northwest Texas (the nipple of Texas) and close to New Mexico/Colorado, the weather is quite a bit different here than say Dallas and especially Austin and Houston.

    Normally we are in the 100+ for most of July/August. It doesn't start cooling down till mid-September when it drops to mid 80s during the day. I look forward to it every year as the heat is unbearable. But this year, we started cooling down the first week of August. Instead of 100's we saw high temps between 70s and 80s which was very unusual. Accompanied with much rain, which is also very unusual.

    The same ones that prior to 1980 were holding public forums to combat the coming ice age?

    I grew up in Michigan and remember many days at 100 degrees F and 100% humidity. I was back there in August for a week and is was in the 70s and California level of humidity. Come to think of it in a dozen or so visits back there I ain't never seen 100 and 100 again.

    Another question I have is if the global temperature rise one degree what effect does that have on areas where the temp is 40 below for much of the winter.

    Liberals, don't answer the question, just cut to a video of an icicle melting.
