Global Warming - Now
Just curious.
I really don't want or expect to get into any kind of in depth discussion on this subject. Frankly, I don't know really anything about the subject, except what I hear on tv and that varies.
But, speaking of what I hear on tv. I watch a lot of the cable news CNN, MSNBC, FOXNews and such; mainly national news. A few weeks back it was a real popular subject on all networks about how warm it had been in the north east. Folks in New York walking around in shirt sleeves or even flip-flops. Some contemplating getting out on the golf course in December.
Around this time frame there were more than a few references as to the effects of 'Global Warming' on the atmosphere.
Currently (within 2-3 weeks after the above mentioned reports) we have what appears to be record 'Severe Weather' along considerable parts of the country.
Remember all the severe weather in Colorado a couple of weeks back causing avalanches and stranded travelers at the Denver Airport. In just the last couple of days there have been reports of the citrus crops in California being in great danger because of the cold.
So, is this 'Severe Weather' including wide spread 'Ice Storms' covering several states (Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, Kansas, Texas, California...) also an effect of 'Global Warming?'
Just curious. Just thought I'd throw that out.
On top of that, I'm wondering. Around the time that they were talking about the record High temps in the North East, I heard it referenced a couple of times that 2006 has been the warmest year on record in over 100 years, since like 1886 or 1887, something like that.
Well, so I'm wondering, if global warming is responsible for the record highs of 2006 is it also responsible for the record highs in the 1800's?
