After reading around some news I discovered this very interesting article that really conflicts my ideas but have a read for yourself and decide:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/climatechange/10294082/Global-warming-No-actually-were-cooling-claim-scientists.html
-
Global warming was always greatly exaggerated in the first place
-
Summers are getting hotter and Winter is getting colder.
-
The common perception of global warming revolves around the reality that our polar icecaps are melting so I can't justify the seasons on this fact but where does Global Warming stand if the polar icecaps are not actually melting but getting larger.
Edit: Go through and find the record monthly heat and cold notice the year, out meteorological understanding as a society is being mainly influenced by third parties.
-
Finally i can pollute the atmosphere and feel good doing it
Just kidding, btw
-
Summers are getting hotter and Winter is getting colder.
Just the way I like it.

And Leon's getting laaaarrrgeeer!

Well, the last ice age was located over Scandinavia, hopefully it will move along to another place, somewhere in Russia would be good for me.. :-)

There are theories that say this rise in the Earth's temperature is a natural phenomenon and has happened before. It may not be the global warming, but the ice age on its way :-)

Surely you can't be serious.
-
How about there is a cycle, there are maps made before the ice age showing Antartica without ice perfectly, there will be global warming and than global cooling, earth is a living thing, it's not like it stopped changing, you must understand that human lives are too short to see any real change, we are talking in billion and billion of years, it's not like your grandchildren will see the Andromeda- Milky Way collision, yes there is a whole fucking galaxy heading our way, and there will be planets crashing into the earth.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda%E2%80%93Milky_Way_collision but guess what.. by then Humans will be instinct.. you must understand that our lives are too short, we should make humanity's run longer than every previous humanoid's , but there is really no way, when they want you to recycle stuff it isn't for the world it's for their own pockets, there isn't anything we can do, we are too little to make a change to a world that we don't fully understand, but if you feel little now, think about how awesome that actually is.. you will live for 70+ years and NOTHING will happen to our earth, I know there is a giant meteor comming our direction and it will hit in 30 years, but as much as I said about how small we are, we are small against a galaxy crashing into us, we can still send nukes into that damn thing, and that is in 30 years, natural progression of knowledge increased after the cold war by SO MANY times even though it's slowing down now, in 30 years we will have amazing protective systems. Now how can we make humans "unkillable" we need to travel to other planets, once we make a colony on another planet we won, after that there is no way for us to be destroyed, but finding a planet that we can live on.. well that's a different thing.. WHY AM I WRITING I WANT TO GO TO SLEEP

I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.
-
Just smoke weed, it's good for both global warming and cooling. :)
-
Global cooling? Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.

Good or bad, I'd love to experience an ice age before I die, just not when I'm 80, because then I'll die form the cold.. =)

*A plethora of text*
Let me just say something about the Andromeda - Milky Way collision For the absolute record this will not be for a VERY large duration of time not to mention the Nasa collision video itself that shows the collision plays out over billions of years it's actually widely accepted that Earth would not notice such a thing or that our sun will be gone before it happens it's a event on an massive scale; however, it is a noticeable phenomenon for those who will be on earth when it happens.

the thing is that there won't be a week that this will happen, in 3.75 billion years people will still die hoping to see it, everything in space is so massive our lives don't comprehend it..
-
When it's summer peoples are like "OMFG GLOBAL WARMING WE WILL DIE ZOMG HIDE"
And when winter comes they're like "OMG GLOBAL COOLING WE WILL DIE AGAIN"
-
Which scientific journal was this study published in?
-
A leaked report to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) seen by the Mail on Sunday, has led some scientists to claim that the world is heading for a period of cooling that will not end until the middle of this century.
That is the basis of the article.

I don't mind, I like snow.

So do I but around the point of 3 feet within 12 hours is annoying to me

I still don't mind it, grab a shovel. =)

The point of this topic is to add transparency to the eluded topic that is Global Warming and if it is possible that we are actually not warming but cooling it should be considered.
However since you pulled the shovel one I must inform you my driveway is a circle that spans 300M to the end and at peak is 10M wide hence why we have a plow truck. The only good thing I can say about winter commute is no ships have to pass under the bridge so I never get delayed :D
Edit: For clarification I have an interconnected driveway that is shared with the neighbor and the street access and sidewalks need to be done for the entire stretch.

I have the picture of that bridge you showed me stored in my head like I see it everyday bro.
-
Which bridge the lift one for ships? I like how this topic is about global cooling and yet we are talking about bridges. But I can confirm the news agencies are liars because the temp is always lower where I live because they take airport temps I would tell you it's getting colder and colder but it's summer so lets continue this in 2 months. Lake Superior has been reported getting warmer but it's still cold the temp doesn't climax at more than 25C typically and usually cools to about 1C so saying it's a result of Global warming is a strange thing to say especially when you actually look at the data if we look at temperatures... (IN CELSIUS- Local Data for Duluth MN)

What can be best noticed is the dates listed the highs are typically older where as the record lows are actually more recent, this is the local evidence. Looking at the world you see the same thing yet water temps are seemingly rising but at the same time it rises it goes back to normal or in more strange cases lower than average.. Another thing about the data is the recent cold temps are reported in the summers which could be concerning, I imagine more change to come and as for the polar icecaps it appears as if the northern hemisphere is growing.

zomg it's getting colder in winter, how is that even possible!
You do realize that you can't have same weather every year? Sometimes the summer is rainy, sometimes there is less snow that it's supposed to be

I understand the weather can not be the same every year which is why I tried to prove and disprove as much as I could. And 2011-2012 Winter there was barely under 12" of snow and in 2012-2013 there was more snowfall then average about 60-80 Inches
-
There has been more and more snow in the UK though as the years go by, maybe this year, well 2014 more like, BBC News will be used to it, and not act as if the world is going to end.
-
My CPU hopes it happens.
On a side-note: our effect on the change of weather in the past century has been minimal, probably nothing that would not have happened had we not polluted. I hope it gets colder, maybe I'll actually get to see REAL snow.

Isn't it hot all year where you live? Plus if you do have snow your news broadcasters will probably be like BBC News every year and go "HOLY FUCK, WE HAVE SNOW EVERYBODY, PANIC BUY FROM THE SHOPS FAST AND LOCK YOUR WINDOWS/DOORS" - Thats pretty much what they do every year, if the UK got nuked snow would still be the main headline, funny thing is, when we do get like 2 inches of snow, everyone actually does panic buy, atleast not in my house, it's a bit of snow after all for fuck sake, I wouldn't like to know how this country would cope in an ice age.

I like the snow, but it's not much to look at :l
