So what's causing this current cold spell?
Global warming ;D ;D ;D ;D
Seriously, according to the Met Office (whom I believe to be a completely trustworthy lot), the current cold spell is being caused by the warming of the southern hemisphere's strataspheric conditions. This has also resulted in the hottest day ever in Australia today - 46 degrees centigrade.
I think its a good example of how the worlds varying temperatures interact with each other to give a colder location in one part of the world caused by a warmer one elsewhere in the world. Interesting, no?

That article may well be BS as it talks about ice lost which is false ;)

Re: So what's causing this current cold spell?
It could be global warming or it could be due to the fact that.......IT'S F#CKING WINTER!
What next? the leaves turning brown in September is due to climate change.

The thread's about how the worlds climate interacts, specifically the two hemisphere's - not a winge about how cold it is ;)

Re: So what's causing this current cold spell?
Global warming/climate change. Anything to raise road tax.

Re: So what's causing this current cold spell?
Yep some of it is true but not all of it.
Like I probably said before, I don't care if anyone here wants to believe the BS ;)
People believe what they want to believe.

Personally I believe climate change is happening but it's not as the MSM wants you to believe, it's not man made it just happens, but it's a great opportunity to add a few more taxes and control the people a little more :P

Re: So what's causing this current cold spell?
Top-20 Ways to tell a Global Warming doubter probably hasn't done any research?
1) Criticizes (or just mentions) Al Gore.
2) Claims that as many or more scientists doubt AGW as agree with it.
3) Asks a simple question like "If humans are causing global warming, what made the planet come out of the last ice age?" and pretends it's a compelling argument. In other words 'if I can't answer this question, obviously nobody can.'
4) Claims the current warming is part of a 'natural cycle' and doesn't know what causes natural cycles.
5) Claims the current warming is due to the Sun even though no scientific study has come to this conclusion.
6) "Global warming has stalled."
7) Makes a political remark (i.e. communist, liberal, etc.) left-wing socialist :P
8) Makes a conspiracy remark (i.e. it's just the UN trying to take over the world). Or my personal favourite, "follow the money".
9) Thinks scientists haven't considered the fact that climate has changed in the past, or that Mars is warming.
10) Thinks the greenhouse effect is unproven or that adding more CO2 to the atmosphere will not increase the greenhouse effect even though Venus is hotter than Mercury.
11) Thinks that one volcanic eruption emits more CO2 than humans have in 5,000 years.
12) "It's snowing in Vermont in the middle of winter. Where's global warming?!"
13) Can't answer a simple scientific question (i.e. how is the observed increase in greenhouse gases not causing warming?).
14) Cites JunkScience, Fox News, right-wing blog, Inhofe's site, etc.
15) Makes absurd claims with zero citations.
16) Blames global warming on water vapor, cow farts, beer/soda carbonation, etc.
17) Is named after a gelatinous substance, awarded himself an honorary doctorate, and rigged the voting system in order to gain some semblance of credibility despite being guilty of most of the items on this list.
18) "Models are just guesses" or "we can't predict the future".
19) "Soon they're going to tax us for breathing!"
20) Cites one outlying study and claims it disproves dozens of others which are in agreement. ;) :D :)

The same actual facts you possess that tell you the same.

Re: So what's causing this current cold spell?
The simple fact is that none of us here know the truth, but I'm not stupid enough to blindly believe anything my government tells me.

From one of the greatest conspirators of the 20th Century.... and leader of our government at the time.

Re: So what's causing this current cold spell?
2 posts one after the other swanny, one that slates the government and one that quotes a former PM :p which one is it - listen to what politicians say or don't :P

And as I seem to be making enemies in this thread I thought it was very fitting. :P

Re: So what's causing this current cold spell?
You've completely lost me Swanny with your train of thought. You put up two posts one after the other. One seems to be your own words (although from what you now say I'm not sure which are your thoughts or what are somebody else's you're quoting) and the second one was a quote from Winston Churchill.You then posted up saying you were quoting one of your friends ::)
But as you say I'm not very bright........
I hadn't thought you were making enemies myself... its a lively topical debate. But if you're going to start throwing personal insults......
-
Re: So what's causing this current cold spell?
The first of the two was my own thoughts the second was a quote my old friend used. Obviously I wasn't a friend of Churchill.
So is it ok for you Snowy to take the piss out of me but not ok for me to return the compliment??
Interesting.
