I have been so amused over the past couple of months as the global warming folk have just had the bottom fall out on them. From Copenhagen getting snowed in during the big conference, to Climategate, to the opening of the Global Warming office being delayed by snow, to one of the coldest and snowiest winters in recent memory not just here but all around the world, to the admission by one the world's leading climatologist's on BBC that we haven't warmed at all over the past 15 years and that the earth was actually warmer 700 years ago before the evil capitalists came along, I don't know if I could have scripted it better! Al Gore has got to be shellshocked, he has gone from the world's savior to a laughing stock in just 6 months.
I didn't believe in "manmade" global warming before this all happened but now who can? Even if it were true, why try to stop it? Just think of the ramifications, Greenland could become green! Iceland could be renamed, polar bears wouldn't have to live on ice, and the melting of the northwest passage would help our economy! If only it were so....
So what do you all think? Did the past couple of months change your mind? Confirm your suspicions? Or are we still going to bake? I didn't believe in "manmade" global warming before this all happened but now who can?
I do believe in climate change though, spring to summer, summer to fall, fall to... well you get it! :coolgleam:

Amen to all you said. I competed with an anti-Global Warming Original Oratory during my last year in speech (NCFCA), so I agree completely with you: Man-made global warming? Yeah...sure.

The way it was explained to me was that warmer air holds more moisture, thus we have more precipitation.

Investigate the differences between El Nino versus La Nina weather patterns. I think you find this of interest.
Here is a link for a site for kids:
El Nino | La Nina | Weather Pattern | 2007 | Forecasts | Effects | Flooding | Storm
Interesting that it mentions an El Nino weather pattern cycle in 1789 where over 600,000 people died in India -- long before we could have caused these kinds of problems.
Next investigate El Nino versus La Nina and input hurricane. You may find this of interest as well.
Happy hunting from chilly S. Fla.
