49 States have snow

Two weeks ago is "outdated"....?

[The Stranger]

nono.. it is terribly outdated. cant u read....

Yeah, it compares 2010 with data from 1971-2000. So what about data from 2000 - 2010?

[The Stranger]

you do realise that global climate has a bigger time span than just the local weather. you can compare 2010 to 2009 but that will not really say much about any global climate shift. and global warming isnt something that is happening just now it has been happening for the last few decades and maybe even the last century...

Make that millenia, with clockwork precision. Now can we please move on to WATER SHORTAGES LEADING TO GLOBAL FEMINE AND CIVIL WAR IF WE DO NOT ACT RIGHT NOW

famine XD

We all remember from school the picture below of the water cycle, we used to think the cycle could continually renew itself so it was impossible to use up the water.



Now we know it's possible to use the water faster than it is renewed into the cycle, if we add in some industrial conversion of water into various products chuck in a bit of pollution and we end up locking more out of the cycle. The problem can be solved if we reduce the rate of increase thereby giving mother nature time to catch up with our consumption.

consumption huh, mother forgive me

See? Water shortages, it's the latest. The global warming hoax has outstayed it's welcome, now we get to be absolutely terrified about water shortages. IF WE DO NOT ACT RIGHT NOW

I am talking about consumption from a technical engineering viewpoint Frag your taking the view this is some kind of green conspiracy.

Global warming does not affect the amount of water on the planet, what does affect how much we get is the amount we take out of the cycle and for how long it is locked out of it.

If I go and make a concrete block that water is to all intents and purposes removed forever from the water cycle.

We tend to waste a lot of water so correct pricing of our water and investment will easily repair this problem, however were not likely to do this are we cos it's a green conspiracy right.

Water shortages have caused famines and wars for milennia.

The's a high riskthat we will face multiple such instances in the next few decades, however.

Yeah industrial ages have always sucked

A famine caused by a water shortage usually has to do with a river drying up(changing its course), thus causing the people depending on the rivere for their agriculture to relocate. However, to relocate they will first have to start a war against the people living in those suitable locations. This has been going on since egyptian times.

However, modern times, industry and agriculture has increased this occurance. The cotton industry in one of Central Asias -stan's(can't remember which one atm) has dried up most of the water in the region, for example.

The two rivers in Iraq(tigris and the other one I can't remember the name of) is the main source of water in the multiple countries they pass through. However, they start out in Turkey. Turkey needs electricity. What will happen if Turkey decides to give them the finger and dam up the river to provide itself with water? Kenyas Rift Valley is another place with a terrible fresh water situation, there is basically one source of it, and who gets to decide what industry it should sustain? The rose export? Or local wheat production? Who gets to profit?

There are real conflicts tied to water consumption and shortages these days, and people are already positioning themselves according to future situations. To believe that this is a hyped situation is plain retarded.

Water is a resource. Resources is the number one reason for conflict. The more valuable the resource, the more likely the conflict. The value of water will rise tremendously in certain regions of the world, regions that already have a multitude of ethnic, religous and political conflicts.

You do the math.

Thus Global Warming is disproved

Check please

Yeah, according to scientists 49 states have snow

Hehehe, and last Thursday I left the only state, Hawaii excluded, that didn't have snow. Bad move.
