Yes. That's why it was freezing last night. Global warming.
I'm hoping "global warming" hasn't hurt my citrus crop this year. Late turning. Not good. Originally Posted by LexusLover

But there are people on here that ask questions and appreciate reliable and accurate information. Letting your version of global warming stand is a disservice to the public in general. It is trump type information. Wrong at best.
Global warming or climate change (for the purpose of debunking ll's statements) is a gradual warming of the planet. Are freezing temps supposed to disappear? Not anytime soon. One of the things affected now is warmer temps allow the atmosphere to hold more moister. That can mean much more severe storms, both rain, and snow. Lots more snow in the states in the Mississippi drainage area means more floods during spring melt. The effects are far-reaching.
Bottom line is that the idea of early freezes, heavy snowfall, etc. are going to disappear is wrong. Not a little wrong, but it shows the fundamental misunderstanding of the science behind the subject.
Why don't you just take your potted mini orange tree inside?

However:
It’s no coincidence that an increase in sunspot activity and a run-up of global temperatures on Earth are happening concurrently. I think before we spend trillions of dollars to reduce carbon, we should rule other factors out. Originally Posted by friendly fred

NOPE. because ... it didn't happen! ahahaaaaa why? the approximately 10 year hi/low solar cycle that's why.as i recall reading .. we are entering (or may already be in) a solar LOW cycle which means a REDUCTION of solar radiation that heats this planet. Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid
