No. In fact, there is no such thing as "global warming", just as in the 1970s there was no such thing as "the coming ice age!". Weather varies over centuries-long cycles, and we short-lived humans tend to forget that.

Yes, the world is warmer now that it was in 1778, when George Washington's army used horses to drag cannons across the frozen Hudson River, and when the canals of Denmark froze solidly enough for Hans Christian Anderson to have skating contests; neither the Hudson nor the canals freeze solid any more.

But the world is still colder now than it was when Leif Erikson and his father Erik the Red discovered an island west of Iceland, and called it "Greenland" - because it was green! The Greenland Vikings had dairy farms! And Leif's Vinland, on what we now call Nova Scotia, was called "Vinland" for the grape vines that grew there.

Global warming becomes more pronounced during winter in which region?

Global warming tends to be more pronounced during winter in the Arctic region. This is due to feedback mechanisms such as sea ice melting and reduced albedo effect, which amplify warming in the region. Rising temperatures in the Arctic also contribute to changes in weather patterns globally.


How much money has been spent on arguing if Global Warming is real or is it fake?

Several billion has been spent on determining whats causing global warming. Scientist are paid through grants from the federal government to find out whats causing the warming and if their is an immediate threat. And 98% concluded that global warming is man made and we are in great danger. While only several million has been spent (by major oil corporations) to debunk the findings and make people think it's just natural and we shouldn't be alarmed. So, most debunker's want you to believe that since the Oil corporations are paying people off, to make up lies, that the government is also paying off their scientist as well to make up the facts, even though the scientist are not being paid by the government to determine if it is man mad or not. The federal government has no stake in global warming being true or not true. They will get sponsored regardless. While big oil corporations only care about one thing and one thing only, and that's making a profit. Every debunker's argument wants you to think that just because we have cold weather in the winter that global warming is a farce. They don't want you to realize, that it means the winters are gonna be colder. And the summers are gonna be hotter. And the weather (Hurricanes, Torandos, Floods, etc.) is gonna be far worse then usual.


Why does it snow if global warming is happening?

Fortunately global warming has not reached the point that we no longer get snow, although some marginal snow fields usually get less snow that in former years. Also, at the 2010 Winter Olympics, snow had to be trucked in from kilometres away in order to provide a proper winter ambience, as the local snowfall had been so unexpectedly low. In other areas there may be a higher than average snowfall in some years. This is part of natural variation in climate.


Is Canada hot in the summer?

Canada can be hot in the summer, depending on the region. Southern parts of Canada, like Ontario and British Columbia, can experience hot temperatures during the summer months. However, northern regions, like Nunavut, tend to have cooler temperatures even in the summer.


Why does Global warming mean no snow?

Global warming causes temperatures to increase, leading to less snowfall in some regions as more precipitation falls as rain instead of snow. This can result in reduced snowpack and earlier snowmelt, impacting snow-dependent ecosystems and activities like winter sports.

Why would a animal migrate?

An animal would migrate to find a more comfortable climate, and\or to find more food. For example, birds migrate in the winter to find warmer temperatures. Global warming also causes animals to migrate because global warming could kill that animals food, or global warming is warming up the animal's habitat too much so they have to find someplace colder.
