Default global warming?

Anyone live in California?

It's been really cold these days.

I'm starting to doubt the whole global warming theory!

Global warming is a deceitful title for the phenomenon. Climate change is indeed a better term.
In my part of Michigan so far, it's only snowed once. It's gonna be a green Christmas, and it's in the forties.
The skiiers and "White Christmas" types are pissed, but I love it!

Default What Java said.

Global warming refers to the fact that the average global temperature is increasing, and not by massive amounts. Some areas will see fairly large temperature increases, some will stay relatively the same, some may even see a decrease in average temperature.

Here in NJ, we are having a december heat wave where the temperatures averaging in the fifties, and highs even into the mid-sixties. This has gone on for close to a week now.

It seems a lot of people a reporting unusual temperature recently. You talking about unusually cold weather in California. Java's talking about unusually warm weather in Michigan. A couple weeks ago, JP5 wrote about unusally cold weather in Texas (I believe she said it fell into the thirties, and wrote it off as proof global warming is a myth).

Are these recent temperature anomalies proof of global warming? I don't know, I'm not a scientist, but I wouldn't write off global warming just because today is unusally cold in California.

The solution to global warming? Move to whatever part of the globe has the temperature you like best!

But apparently the parts of the globe can't make up their mind.
I guess the better solution is to sell your house and get a private plane with living quarters.

Get a boat.

Well, then, how do you power the boat after we've run out of oil supplies?
