    Forecasters say this winter could be the coldest Europe has seen in the last 1,000 years.[^] Now OK, I hear the weather isnt climate argument coming. But recall, some years back the sea froze in the English Channel. A year later Gatwick ran out of deicer. Then London had the first October snow for 70 years, and a year later a new cold record was set in Scotland, and the UK was entirely blanketed by snow (OK, I am English, I tend to follow the UK news a bit). However the current winter in the southern hemisphere has seen record cold in Australia and South America. So when does weather become climate?

    According to Dictionary.Reference.com: Weather: the state of the atmosphere with respect to wind, temperature, cloudiness, moisture, pressure, etc. Climate: the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years. So, basically, just take your time ;-)

        1. Find list of all weather records being set this year 2) Ignore hot ones, complain about cold ones 3) Ignore fact that neither are relevant, because weather != climate 4) ??? 5) Profit! Or, in layman's terms... :zzz:

        Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

          Guess why? Its because we are being told that right now is on of the hottest years in the last 150 years. I dont believe it can be if so many cold records are being set. (BTW if I was being told wew were in an ice age and warn records were being set I would post those.) Its called a counter point, get it?

          Already stated that in my post. If youve got an debate (which by your standards must include providing evidence for the very thing you are debating against) then please post it.

            Cold records are set Hot records are set This in itself suggests that things are becoming more extreme... i.e. "changing"... Of course, you just want to simplify this to "Thermometer goes up = Bad, Thermometer goes down = Good"

                        We need to take action now, cut carbon emissions by 80%, enact carbon taxes now. So when it is cold out, you will not be able to afford to heat your home and you will die, for the earth ofcourse.

                          "sigh" It has been explained to you time after time that the effects of global warming are predicted to be adverse and often extreme changes in weather. These can range from increased amount and strength of hurricanes off the americas. Increased cold or heat extremes in any part of the world. Increased flooding in any part of the world. It does not and no one has suggested that it does mean just that the weather will get warmer in isolation from all the other effects.

                                It's not a question of understanding. He is obsessed with the subject to a point that defies logic. Trying to address it with reason is a waste of effort - that's not the currency he's dealing in.

                                    I have a business idea for you "Fly Clean, Fly Green" - Departure lounge enemas. Research has shown that on average an enema will remove 50 - 100 grams of faecal matter. If every passenger on a 747 was to remove this much body weight the resulting fuel savings would save 5 trees per 1000kms travelled. I reckon there's money in it.

                                          "sigh" It has been explained to you time after time that the effects of global warming are predicted to be adverse and often extreme changes in weather. These can range from increased amount and strength of hurricanes off the americas. Increased cold or heat extremes in any part of the world. Increased flooding in any part of the world. It does not and no one has suggested that it does mean just that the weather will get warmer in isolation from all the other effects.

                                          Well, although this is often stated the only real prediction is that some areas might experience more rainfall and others less, and these only come from computer models. Studies of extreme weather events in the past have found no correlation between them and temperatures, this was one of the errors discoverd in the AR4. There are also experts, such as Lindzen, who suggest that the reduction in temperature gradient betwen the poles and tropics will lead to less extreme weather so this area is vey much undecided. But ultimately global warming must lead to warmer weather over long periods of time (climate), so your statement is illogical. If not then there isnt warming and the system retuns to stasis, which would indicate there are strong negative feedbacks at play.
