Forums - General Discussion - It snowed in Baghdad, Iraq for first time in almost 100 years.

Wow.. in the middle east they get snow, while here in southern ontario the grass couldn't be greener.

 

....Unfair

stof where is the proof we humans are heating up the earth. If what ive been told is true the temp rises are based in large populated areas like new york and washington. the smaller country towns and in rural areas seem to be reducing or staying the same temperature. the reason for this is because large cities have lots of concrete and bricks and roads which hold temperatures alot more then dirt and sand. therefore the temp rises.

back on subject I live in australia and the temps here have been very hot. 42.5c on thursday(about 108 in your numbers) we could do with some snow. would melt in like 2 seconds though



I want wii fit and I want it now

 

what do you expect there in austraila it is summer there right now.



Er, "holding" temperature =/= increasing temperature. Cities are massive hot spots mostly because humans do lots of stuff that generates heat.

I know that but its still hot. But it is normal we get about 10-12 days each summer over 40. Wish I was in alaska or somewhere like that. Might need to take a holiday....

Everyone in this thread denying global warming scares the crap out of me.

I agree completely. However, I do give credit to the media for their successful effort to spin this problem to the point where people can actually argue that it isn't even happening. Chalk one up to misinforming the public for the betterment of industrial corporations and their profit margins.

Yeah, maybe I will live to see the Permian extinction 2, all the while listening to the drone of John Q. Public and his cries of "more data is needed" and "we can't be sure what’s causing this exactly" ad nauseum. What a time to live, if you’re a jellyfish.

 



Oh yeah well summer here gets over 100!! (Yes, I know.)

Like I said in the Resistance 2 thread...

"60 player online....just think of the servers. Ya know, I have a feeling that all the online games and all the dedicated servers in the world are the primary cause of global warming. Shut down WoW for a few days, and the temperature of the Earth will drop .25 degrees, guaranteed."
