White christmas! (climate changes)

My mother lives in the mountains, so yes, we had a white Christmas, which is ironic, since I live in Arizona, not known for its snow...

NO snow...i see alot of rain though:( Holland

Best wishes for the new year all

A lot of Fog here in the morning. Fog is disrupting Flights and all. [8]

I'm not at all savvy with measuring temperature in celsius so all the numbers are in fahrenheit, but it was a very warm Christmas here in Montana. It was around 40 degrees and there were patches of ground without snow. I remember back when I was younger and lived in Minnesota there'd be a meter of snow outside and it'd be 20 or 30 below zero. Winters don't really seem like winters here anymore. In the 8th year of drought out here and mild winter it didn't surprise me at all that it snowed early in the month and then rained on the 23rd. Though there really was never more than an inch of snow last winter, things are slightly better this time around. Still... it's odd being in a valley without a foot of snow when it varries from 3 or 15 meters deep up on Logan Pass

its either raining, or i sprung a leak

wel, I had on of my coldest christmas, but no snow, no clouds, only a clean and a blue sky.

but I have to say that in january late have snow here, what is to unsual, most of people never have seen snow here before it, I think the last time was some 60 years ago.

And we are feeling warmest summers every years, so the global heating is very much a reallity here.

hmmm well i just imagine

x-mas, 25°C, the beach directly infront of my house (due to the global warming)... well what should i say... i like it

foggy weather in the morning so you cant see a thig in front of you. -5°C makes it olny better
in the afternoon the weather gets better, you can see 8 meters in front of you and temp. is around 3°C
no snow, no rain, no sun, no nothing. lol, its like the mother nature totally forgot this county (Croatia).
if nothing else, he have electric power & i-net, lol

nice sunny day without snow or minus degrees in Vienna

Lol, problem is if temperatures were that high everywhere (reletively) the ice sheets would have already melted and Germany would be underwater

thats why i wrote " the beach directly infront of my house (due to the global warming)"
i live in the middle of germany so ill have the pleasure to get my private beach as soon north germany is gone

w00t !

ROFL

i hope we will get some snow for New Year ...

There would be a delay I would think. The ice isn't melting all at once, but rather gradualy. Various stages of global warming could take anywhere from a few years to dozens of millenia. Scientist theorize all sorts of things, but we really won't know what will happen until it does. If another ice age settles in though most of us would be pretty screwed regardless of where we live. The rapididy and manner in which the climate changes all depends upon global plant growth, human development, pollution, and urbanization, other natural events (disasters or occurances of nature that could somehow affect the progression of the problem), and things that we probably haven't even thought of yet. Fortunately, at the rate technology is advancing (horse-drawn buggies to moon-walks in 75 years isn't that bad you know), if any imminent danger to mankind is more than 100 years away I think people will either have the capability to counter the problem in other ways or have means to sustain the race without the well-being of the world's environments. If we have the technology to terraform other planets (we have everything we need to do it, just no plans), I'm sure we can figure out how to fix a broken climate while minimizing the negative impacts.

well then i go swimming one year and a few years later i go boarding... doesnt matter... i like it

btw. the nature does find a way
cold/warm water circulation could stop in the way we know it - true
but it cant be stopped entirely... in the same way you cant stop the wind (its the same procedure)

Why don't you guys think about the Penguins who live on the poles [12]
The way OP wants it these poor creatures will not survive [3]
I have the utmost respect for life of all kinds :]
