Darth Ender Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I think what is confused is climate versus weather. Climate is long term and weather is short term. I think one of the challanges for many people to accept climate change is the difficulty of people to truly perceive the idea of climate. People have an idea of hot and cold temperatures, but it is almost impossible for humans to wrap their minds around tenths of a degree average increase year to year. Having record low temperatures in an area does not disprove climate change no more than record highs proves it. We may have record lows here in the US do to a specific weather phenomenon (such as a polar vortex), but that does not negate the fact that the overall worldwide average is increasing. They have not released the data for worldwide temperatures for October or this month, NOAA has released the data for every month up until this September. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie Mathison Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Oh yeah, that old familiar line of reasoning. The last 5 years we saw X, so that necessitates the next 5 years having X. Fun quiz for everyone: what logical fallacy is Ender committing? This is multiple choice: A) No true scotsman B) Correlation implies causation C) Hot-hand D) False dilemma E) Begging the question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavonis Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Oooooh, a fight about climate change/global warming. Never seen one of those in here before! Let's all waste each other's time exchanging talking points, because everyone here is so reasonable and willing to change their mind when faced with new data!

Ms. Spam Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Clear cutting leads to radiational cooling which brings more drastic changes on temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burt Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 An aspect of climate change is more extreme weather. Instead of steady rains spread out over a longer period of time, you get intense inundations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
