As the Earth gets warmer, its atmosphere is able to carry more water vapour which translates into bigger rain and snow storms. So expect even bigger snow storms in the future.Quote:

When you don't have enough cold and ice to kill pests, that could be bad for everyone except pesticide companies. Also, some fruit trees require cold air for proper growth and development.Quote:

Welcome to reality non-believers.
We need to start an over/under as to when arkansasbob, soonerdawg, tyler, and a few others finally have to admit they are wrong on this subject. :)
2008?
2010?
2012?
I must admit that you guys are persistent. If the weather is warm, it is global warming. If the weather is cold, it is global warming. If it is a drought, is global warming. If it is a blizzard, it is global warming. If England is expecting cold weather over the next decade, it is global warming. If the ice caps are receding on the north pole, it is global warming. If they are increasing on the south pole, it is global warming.Quote:

There is really no way to debate this with you, because you have made up your mind, and no fact will make you change your mind.
I refuse to be swayed by your fear. I enjoyed the warm weather we had. Now I'm glad for the cold weather that is killing the bugs. I choose to enjoy life.

I have no doubt that you believe that.Quote:

Luke 21:25-28
Luke 21 Read This Chapter21:25 "There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and the waves. 21:26 People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 21:27 Then they will see "the Son of Man coming in a cloud' with power and great glory. 21:28 Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."
I could see the the above highlighted in red (being hurricanes, tsunami, freak waves and the such) being due in part to Global Warming. But only because GOD is allowing, and maybe even causing, it to happen as a sign of the End of Times and His coming. These signs, as well as many others mentioned in the Bible, are meant as a warning to get your house in order and to point others/non-believers to Christ.
Not inconsistent. Global warming is taking place although a particular weather event, such as the current drought, cannot be directly tied to it.Quote:
