Whether it's caused by humans or some other process I'm convinced that global warming is changing the weather. I just saw a Drudge report the other day about a satellite photo of top of Mt. Kilimanjaro which hasn't been seen that way in 11,000 years. Then I read in Pop Sci that some of the world's largest glaciers are receding 400% faster than in 1970 and by 2020 they'll be gone. I'm convinced that we'll be seeing weird effects from 2 main drivers: 1.) There'll be more fresh water in the oceans. I've heard about things that can happen, but who knows, whatever it is I'm convinced there'll be a lot more water in there than now. 2.) Faster and more severe weather due to more energy in the atmosphere. If the average temp of the Earth is rising that's just another way of saying that there's more weather energy available. To me it seems to reason that if normally you'd get a cold rain, now you could get a large snowstorm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:150737 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
