Global warming... it's happening!

Off-topic Chatter

I just wanted to share that I feel like being steamed alive in Seoul right now.

It’s hot and humid, even during the midnight. It’s currently two past midnight and I’m having trouble going to sleep. It’s 29℃ (84.2F) with 92% (are you serious) humidity right now.

Even my 27℃ (80.6F) room with A/C feels like an igloo, thanks to the decreased humidity.

Here’s the official weather page for Korea: http://www.kma.go.kr/weather/main_all.jsp?stncd=108

However, it doesn’t provide a specific URL for my location, but it should be similar.

Thanks for listening to my rant. :smiley:

Virginia/Maryland USA now has the Asian Tiger Mosquito and West Nile Virus. Plus there are several Mystery Illnesses in several other states. Not trying to confuse causation with correlation but I imagine the warmer we get up here the more 'tropical' issues we will face.

Oh, and Florida has a huge Python issue as well. When we get alligators in Maryland I am moving to Canada!

That sounds hot! I hope you can get some sleep.

I must say I enjoyed it when it rained here recently during the freak summer time thunderstorms. Warm rain feels lovely! I’m hoping this country will become more “tropical”. :bigsmile:

You better hurry and move, they already found sharks riding NYC subway! :wink: Shark found on New York subway - BBC News

Al Gore invented Global Warming .

But he also invented internet porn , so ...

Wow really? He must have really really bad gas then, to cause Global Warming!

Its too bad we are nearing the point of no return as far as climate change goes. Record breaking temperatures for the last 23 years in a row… and people still doubt its happening. There are probably better sources, but i cant seem to find them at the moment

what, only 29℃ that’s nothing, right now it’s 38.1℃ in my room :weary:
50℃ today in the city between all that concrete and asphalt, real hell >)

No there isn’t any doubting it, I was just continuing the silly thread theme, on how one man could cause global warming :slight_smile:

11

or invent the internet ...

12

Please don't confuse weather with climate... if you want to say hot weather is due to climate change you can't then laugh at the morons on Fox 'news' who inevitably claim that since it still snows in winter the whole thing must be a hoax.

13

its all these overdriven emitters knocking about the place, we all need to start running 1.4a mtg2’s lol

14

True, you cant say your current weather is proof of global warming, but this isnt a serious thread I thought :wink: Both claims can be equal opportunities to laugh. Plus, I’d say TheOnion is a superiour source of news entertainment compared Fox :smiley:

Hehe, yeah thats what I’m talking about, they are so funny sometimes. I love how they are supposedly so concerned in the report, but then in the end they broadcast his address :smiley:

18

This is along the lines I expected when I clicked on this thread. I thought someone was going to show off a super, over drivin mod that was throwing off all kinds of heat :bigsmile:

The question isn't whether there is, or there isn't global warming... rather it's a question of how we affect the natural cycles that do occur with climate change, and how we can, or can't affect them.

Nor is it global warming we should worry about... but the result, which is global cooling.

Where I live must be out of reach of the global warming. Here its been a very cool year with lots of rain.
The temps are some what mild compared to how I have seen it. I think its just mother nature and her endless cycle.
Data to back it up: Here are the monthly average temps for my area. Current years are at the bottom.

.
This year we have seen unusual high amounts of rain. We are already at 51.78 inches of rain and still have 5 months left and guess what, its raining right now and has rained in spots for the last 3 days.
Rain data for my area.

As for climate change, I just don’t see it.
