Are you serious?! Hello? You're a smart guy. Look at it this way, on average across a whole year, there is an average temperature. It doesn't vary by much and even in global warming scenarios, it is a few degrees.

So, even not talking about actual year-year warming. Let's assume the average global yearly temp is constant.

So, on average when you start having hotter and hotter weather (from sun output or CO2 etc) guess what? It means even colder extremes as well. Once you start pulling one part of the system to extremes, the whole thing becomes more extreme. More wind, more hurricanes, more rain, longer periods of no rain. The hotter the summers are average across summer months means you have to make up for that in the winter. (On average).

It's like playing slot machines over a very long time. Hot streaks on average will lead to long cold streaks. (Of course in this example slot machines are not truely random, but rather have a preset payout scale and actually manipulate winning percentages to come out with average payouts of 95% or whatever.

This is why I live in the South!

It was more of a joke than anything, joe, but let me ask you this:
Wouldn't colder winters (as a result of a warmer planet, like you said) cancel out the global warming thing? The last time that I checked global warming meant that the average temperature of the planet keeps rising. How can that be possible if we keep having more "extreme cold" as you say? Either I totally misunderstood what you said, or it was completely inane and made zero sense.

Climate destabilization is possibly more descriptive and more scary too (and destabilize from our very short term recent human experience to which we are suited, not from geological trends)

This is why the name global warming is so inaccurate, and climate change has started to be used.

But Joe is right, the increase of temperatures destabilizes the climate, but on average temperatures will rise. You might get snow in your area but there could be a short winter in another, one has to look at the global climate environment rather then the local one.

Look at the melting ice caps for example.

you've head of "The snows of mount kilimanjaro", yes?
they are rapidly becoming past-tense.

marine, lol "global warming and snow wtf!"

do you apply the same level of logical analysis to iraq as you do to the climate? coz i might have to start respecting what you say a bit less after this...

It's all satire, folks. Two blizzards in one week + April + global warming = haha. (At least it did for me)

I kind of fail to see how golbal warming makes for colder temperatures. Lemme do some math real quick with some made up statistics (for the purpose of having numbers to work with.)If the following were true, the Global warming exists.

Ok. average temp in State A during July, 1970: 85F
Average temp in State A during July, 2007: 90F

Average temp in state A during January 1970: 15F
Average temp in state A during January 2007: 20F

global warming theoretically rises the earths temperature. i don't see how it can make it colder. so to say that rising the temperature during one season of the year makes the other season colder, is just asinine. if the temperature were a rope hanging, and you pulled up on it, the "colder" (or lower end) would come with it, would it not?

lol
if a satire falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Yes. Well, at least I think so. I'm sure it would. I don't know....
