Global Warming

[Pokequaza]

Ok, actually, the correct term is "Climate Change," the Earth is getting warmer in some places and cooler in others. For example, last winter, my state experienced one of the coldest, if not the coldest winter we've had in either 50 or 100 years (can't remember which). I know a girl whose dad is a news anchorman, and he did like an hour special on this, and he spent at least a month and a half researching this, so I know that this is true. I'm sure a lot of scientists mean climate change when they say global warming, as the latter is much more well known, and came first.

Actually, Global Warming is not exactly a Climate Change (to be honest it isn't even close to it), if the Earth is warming up that would lead to a Climate Change eventually, but they're not the same. Therefor you have to know that climate are the meteorological conditions including, temperature, the certain amount of rain (or snow/hail) falling on the surface, and the wind, all on a certain area. Global Warming is only about temperature, ofcourse it would eventually lead to other changes but the Global Warming only causes well... global warming. It doesn't affect the amount of rain/snow/hail, and it certainly isn't ''area based'', maybe that's reason why it's called Global Warming?

@Heavenly Spoon, it's what you would refer as ''soon''. First increasing and decreasing Solar Activity causes changes in the temperature here on Earth and even in our climate eventually (the more CO2 in the Atmosphere, the more heat it holds here on Earth, so with a large number of CO2 in the Atmosphere I'm convinced Solar Activity has a larger effect on the average Global Temperature).

But as we know, the Solar Activity does cause change in the Earth's temperature, even it's only a little bit, and according to the last peak of increased Solar Activity which was in 2001, we should expect another soon in 2012, and after that there will we 5 years of decreasing activity, and thus leading to a (small) drop in temperature.

And we shouldn't forget we now between two glaciations, so we also should expect a new glaciation in next few thousend years.

people need to stop focusing on JUST global warming. All of the Earth's enviornment is changing in different ways due to the hole in our atmosphere, not just heating up but cooling down, getting wetter, getting drier. The only reason why everyone thinks it's just warming up is because of the huge affect in the arctics, but it's changing EVERYWHERE. So to anyone who wants to go at it with me go ahead, i have mulitple articles and book submissions from when i went to Cleveland state and talked with enviornment-related proffesors for this issue on a project i did this year.

and making some points:

1.HS's post seems to make sense so to call it "climate change", as like pokequaza said, makes no sense whatsoever
2. Yes, we can blame humans, but what's coming in the future would happen anyway, if we were to exist or not
3. Our bodies will eventually adapt to the changing climates as did everything else, and for the ppl who are saying "OMGZ wErE r GONNA aLL die FrOm the friGGGIN Uv rayZZ" shut up, we will have deaths, but not apacolypitic.

So to finish, yes we should worry about it, but don't we worry about everything anyway? ._. Recycle, Re-use, restore and protect the cute widdle polar bearies
