Levis Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Four years ago at this time I recall shivering at 3 in the afternoon. Today it was thirty degrees celcius. That's summer to a lot of countries. Here it means an early spring. A very early spring. I don't know how people can deny the very obvious existence of global warming. What do you think will make them realise that it's not very long till we evaporate/drown? And what do you think can be done to slow down the greenhouse effect?

edna Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I have no idea but I´m scared. We turned off the lights yesterday for five minutes... what else can my humble me do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I've seen An Inconvenient Truth...and while I've heard some people complain that it's too superficial and nothing new to a lot of people, I do think it's a good way of making the others aware of global warming. That's certainly a step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 in this winter we had one (1) week with below zero weather one or two years ago was one of the hottest summers ever recorded in meteorology history... that's just not normal...

Levis Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Our winter lasted about a week. Two if you use your imagination. My birthday was sunny and warm. And some 5 years ago I remember there being a thick fog even in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 one or two years ago was one of the hottest summers ever recorded in meteorology history... that's just not normal... That was in 2003. I remember going out on the streets at 1 AM and seeing plenty of old people sitting in the parks... they were almost dying in their homes. There was almost 30.000 dead people in France that summer, a country that isn´t prepared to face such a heat wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Laurie_ Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) I remember our winters use to be at least 2 feet of snow, constantly through out the winter...this is very strange, and scary indeed...

Shawna Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 We've had the coldest January in 20 years here. It's still freezing outside. Usually in January it's bearable by afternoon. Now, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Any scientist that says that global warming isn't a fact and/or isn't caused by humans is either working for big oil or for my country's executive branch of government. With that said, I'll stop there. This topic generally causes me to go off on a rant that drives my friends absolutely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Global warming is a fact. Though you couldn't prove it around here in the next several days. The temps are plunging into the low 20's and then into the teens by Monday and for four or five days with lows in single digits. They say it's the coldest snap here in 11 years.

Shawna Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 (edited) I just saw a blurb for the 11 o'clock news where the weather guy says we're in for a warm weekend. FINALLY. --------------------------------- I just checked out the weather for this weekend and we're supposed to be up to 78 on Sunday, and 80 on Monday. And today it was only 54. Crikey! But... global warming doesn't exist. Edited February 3, 2007 by Guest had to add that I'm getting hot. No, wait... we're getting hot. No... oh - just forget it.
