Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Quote:Originally posted by BYTEMITE: The same reason it's called climate change now. Though I'm not sure we can attribute extremities in local weather to anything global. It's a long term trend, not a scapegoat for any instance of bad weather. Anyway, point is. All the NOAA graphs do indicate a long term warming effect, but it's plateaued in recent years. The cold at the start of this year in the northern hemisphere might affect it somewhat. There's no telling yet if warming will resume after this because climate and weather are really unpredictable as hell, and we may not know all the factors or buffers out there. But an instance of unusually cold weather doesn't disprove the hypothesis in general. In fact, if another hypothesis is accurate, there's a possibility that warming in some places could actually trigger a new ice age across North America and Europe. Hot air and ocean currents could mess up the trade winds and ocean currents, which will stop warm air and warm ocean waters from being circulated northwards, which is what keeps coastal areas as temperate as they are.
