These two past cold years could have nothing to do with this, huh?
Though honestly, global warming is becoming a term that is highly misunderstood just like evolution and theory. Climate change is a much better word because that can actually be seen to an extent. Hell, I know someone that makes a living off understanding which crops grow best in certain climates and now he is traveling the country advising farmers and whoever which crops they should start growing because of climate change. The general public will never hear of this BTW. I would be very interested to see what the people who think global warming is exaggerated expect out of global warming. If most are expecting outrageous results we might as well go tell evolutionary scientists to show us a crocaduck. |

Yeah?? The number isn't important, the fact that people stop believing in global warming after a cold spell is.
No opinions were provided so it is extremely hard to determine how logical the reasoning was. |
I think we should just focus on not polluting the atmosphere. Not because of a concern born of megalomania but because its just the right thing to do.
There is a lot of dissent and disagreement on the causal relationship between our actions and the climate. I think we (earthlings) stand a much better chance of reaching a consensus that we should stop polluting the air. While the premise of global warming is not unreasonable, it is far from conclusively definitive so its effectiveness as a basis for policy decisions is very limited. The easiest way to lose an argument even when you are right, is to base your position on a premise that is as easy to disprove as it is to prove. Manhatten was under a mile-thick sheet of ice 20,000 years ago - that was ten minutes ago in geologic terms. Had a civilized human race been established at the time, I don't think there is anything we could have done to stop the last ice age and there is nothing we can do to stop the next one. However, I think most reasonable people and nations would agree that we shouldn't piss in each other's water supply nor should we fart in each other's air supply. |

I wonder what effect this will/may have on the Earths temperature. |
Cold winters?

The antarctic ice cap is growing...lots.
If this keeps up, Australia is going to become the new Iceland! |
Can't be... global warming and all.
