We should be worried about dramatic record-breaking weather patterns--record snows during winter in Vegas (happened this year or last one), record high temps in colder climates, with more expected rainfall and less expected snowfall. Longer periods of drought, even if followed up by some rainfall, is cause for concern.

There are extreme weather anomalies that we should be on the lookout for, even if 80% of the rest of the year is normal, it's the increase in the extraordinary happening where it shoudln't that we should worry about--because if things keep getting a little out of whack, more and more, the climate will eventually get to the point to where a major swing will occur before we know it.

Let Gore chase after ManBearPig, and be more concerned with how pollution and other adverse environmental factors are causing swift climate change in either direction. </div></div>
i dont know that i agree with that

we know that there is a long and documented history of climate change cycles

this is nothing more than one point on that cycle

but if you look at the nonsense that douchebag gore has said.....hes clearly talking about "warmer" temperatures

remember his crap about warmer ocean temps leading to stronger and more frequent hurricanes?

he specifically discussed "warmer ocean temps"

so in his way of thinking "global warming" means exactly that

and clearly he couldnt be more incorrect</div></div>

You didn't catch what I said. I clearly stated that global warming is a misnomer--much like zone blocking (you should understand that one).

"Global Warming" in terms of higher temps isn't what we need to worry about, we need to worry about swift changes in either direction when it comes to the climate. Just because the mean temperature for a location doesn't change doesn't mean that its' climate/weather patterns are completely stable--that's what we need to be on the watch for, extreme weather and extreme increases/decreases in temperatures...spikes along the line graph, so to speak.

i understand what you are saying......but the truth is that there is a long documented history of such changes happening

all we are seeing is just another step along the cycle

nothing more nothing less

so its nothing to really worry about

Are we however, agreed, that the cycle should be continuously monitored to attempt to forecast any possible swift swings in world climate so we are prepared in case an extreme drought/freeze were to hit not necessarily the entire world, but part(s) of the world?

Yeah, you have that paper from 11,000 years ago ...when whatever it was happened. You are talking about 1 degree at a time, that won't stop snow. Most people are so dumb, they wouldn't even notice it.

I Global warming exist why are the record high temperatures for all the 365 days of the year way back in the day??? their are like less than 15 days that the record has been broken since 1995 for Kingsport....

Someone please explain this to me...Some of the records go back to the 1930's...However, we did break a couple record cold nights just this past winter....

Explain this, If the earth is warming, why isn't it getting hotter??? I thought warming and temperature had something in common???

Try not to focus on hillbilly heaven....
"WASHINGTON - This winter was the warmest on record worldwide, the U.S. government said Thursday in the latest worrisome report focusing on changing climate.

The report comes just over a month after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said global warming is very likely caused by human actions and is so severe it will continue for centuries.

And a NASA study reported Thursday in the journal Science found that an important counter-balance to warming "? sunlight blocked by volcanic gases, dust, pollution and other aerosol particles "? appears to have weakened."

Would you be havin' anymore questions?
PS..for the ice-what is floating will not matter as it will shrink as it melts and cease to float. The density is still the same , even if it is frozen. Only what is going to melt and run off from the land masses into the oceans will cause them to rise. 6th grade science class, Webster elem, Dayton, Oh

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - New Zealand's biggest glacier is melting at its fastest pace in recent history, a scientist said Thursday.

The Tasman Glacier on South Island was 18 miles long in 1990, with virtually no lake at its front edge, Massey University glacier expert Martin Brook said.

New measurements last week showed the glacier was 14 miles long, he said.

VIENNA - Glaciers and mountain snow are melting earlier in the year than usual, meaning the water has already gone when millions of people need it during the summer when rainfall is lower, scientists warned on Monday.

"This is just a time bomb," hydrologist Wouter Buytaert said at a meeting of geoscientists in Vienna.

Those areas most at risk from a lack of water for drinking and agriculture include parts of the Middle East, southern Africa, the United States, South America and the Mediterranean.
Rising global temperatures mean the melt water is occurring earlier and faster in the year and the mountains may no longer be able to provide a vital stop gap.

"In some areas where the glaciers are small they could be gone in 30 or 50 years time and a very reliable source of water, especially for the summer months, may be gone," Buytaert said.

Buytaert, from Britain's Bristol University, was referring to parts of the Mediterranean where her research is focused but she said this threat also applies to the entire Alps region and other global mountain sources.

Daniel Viviroli, from the University of Berne in Switzerland, believes nearly 40 percent of mountainous regions could be at risk, as they provide water to populations that cannot get it elsewhere.

WASHINGTON - Global warming could force elk and mule deer from much of the American West. Wild trout could disappear in lower Appalachian streams. Two-thirds of the country's ducks may disappear.

A new assessment of the threat to fish and wildlife habitat has hunters and anglers calling for action.

Groups representing nine major hunting and fishing organizations planned to meet Thursday with the House committee chairman who hopes to write legislation to curtail greenhouse gases linked to global warming.

I guess you guys never read anything but the stupid page?

Point????

I can go to anti global warming sights and copy and paste a whole slew of so called facts for the other side as well....
