Cmon Wide, you're a smart guy. More precipitation of any sort is an obvious effect of more evaporation globally. No one said it wasn't still going to be cold in winter time in New York. The fact you have snow at this time of year does nothing to support your argument, and weakens it considerably when the global aspects of warming are accounted. It is no more a proof than a heat wave, though. Weather does not equal climate.
Of course I realize this wasn't your intention (at least hope not), but the parroting of "snow" as a proof that AGW isn't occurring is incredibly effective at the level of the general public. If it is your opinion that "snow in winter" is a sign that it (AGW) isn't happening, then your vision is simplistic and limited in scope.
what then does weather equal?
it would seem to me, that the "local" weather around here(which is the same this year, as it has been pretty much every year that i can remember in this area) is a small part of the climate.
then the weather in widewings area is another small part. same with in the midwest, and in the uk, and pretty much everywhere.
if these local weather systems are following a pattern, which is the normal pattern they;ve
been following, they would all be normal.
thus, all of these little "local weather systems" combine to equal the climate.
and guess what? we're not hurting it. not one single bit.
we're polluting things, but that's entirely another discussion.
