Whistle blowing on Global Warming

[Sonicblu]

Snow has two simple ingredients: cold and moisture. Warmer air collects moisture like a
sponge until it hits a patch of cold air. When temperatures dip below freezing, a lot of
moisture creates a lot of snow.  A rise in global temperature can create all sorts of havoc,
ranging from hotter dry spells to colder winters, along with increasingly violent storms,
flooding, forest fires and loss of endangered species. That's simple science.


Course global-warming skeptics like to point to these snowtorms as thier "proof" all
the while conveniently ignoring snow droughts like those in Vancouver.

I guess it just depends on how much Faux news and talk radio one takes in. Like
salt and arteries too much Limbaugh or Beck can clog your brain.

How much a rise in temp?

[CAP1]

the stuff you quoted also just happens as part of our normal weather systems.


and an FYI........we do not need warm air to create rain/snow.

[Angus]

No, just warmER

[CAP1]

No, just warmER

nope. 

[Sonicblu]

srry I put " a rise in global temperature" in bold.

Then I ask the question at the bottom.

How much warmer??????????????????????????????????????????????????? specifically.

Does no one here know how to stick to a topic or argue a point???????????

Mostly soppy overgeneralizations

[CAP1]

No, just warmER

warmER will only make thunderstorms.

[MORAY37]

warmER will only make thunderstorms.

You really don't understand what you are talking about.

You really don't understand what you are talking about.

None of us do.  That includes you, too.

yea, i do.....as the air warms up, it can hold more moisture. as it cools, it can hold less. as the air cools, it reaches a point where it can no longer hold the moisture it contains.

 you do not need a warm, or a warmer air mass in order to create precipitation though. you simply need the air to be saturated.

No, but the simple physical properties of air dictate the warmer it gets the more water it can hold.

Also, even if it just makes more thunderstorms.....isn't it counter-intuitive to say that's not more rain?   

No logic in your statement whatsoever (it only makes more thunderstorms).

[MORAY37]

Moray can you answer some  questions?

How much warmer is the earth getting in how much time?

And is it possible to heat the earths water 1degree with air? How hot would the air have to be?

What part is natural climate change and what percent of that would be man made?  

If the water is warmer woulnt that mean more evaporation and more water in the atmosphere to come back in the from of snow rain ect?

If the water is warmer doesnt it release more co2 into the atmosphere? Could the higher levels of Co2 be from the oceans warming first ( maybe undergound volcanos) then releasing more co2 into the air?

Thanks

With all due respect, you may find any or all of this information at the NOAA website.  I don't have to spoon feed it to you in here.  You can read it as well as I can re-type it here.

 I know what you are attempting to do and I won't be a part of it.  You are using well-trodden contrarian ideology that rests on false grounds, which, like the inundation of FOI requests, is mostly meant to make me waste my time defending your false accusations, at the same time lending credence to your position simply in the defense.

I'll stand by my understanding of complex science, over yours, every day of the week.

That, along with a dollar, will get you a cup of coffee.   

[MORAY37]

Actually, it's gotten me quite a bit of research money and quite a few publications.  You?

And I'm sure the gravy train will keep rolling as long as you tow the line...

But what we were talking about was the complexities of climate not how much money you have been paid to swim with fishes.
