The many predictions of the horrible results of global warming simply have not happened, although you can still see films about Hoover Dam going dry, polar bears dying all over the north pole, and glaciers shrinking. But none is true, you see. The water in Hoover Dam was lowered on purpose in case of terrorist attack.

The polar bears find their ice melting a bit faster near the west side of Greenland because the periodic warm trend of the North Atlantic Ocean oscillation is directing a bit more of the warm Gulfstream water up there. A few hundred miles away in Sweden, there is a bay that has never, ever frozen over so that there was no ship traffic. Last year, it froze over, and ships could not break through.

There is one glacier in the bay at the southern tip of South America that indeed is receding by 4% a year. But the one next to it is advancing about 4% a year, and also the next one south of it. At the end of what are 6 glaciers, there is a glacier that is advancing at a record-breaking 42% a year, and by now, may have choked off the entire bay.

A couple of years ago, Antarctica was colder than it had been in 27 years.

The predicted onslaught of terrible hurricanes after Katrina did not happen. There were NO hurricanes down there the year after. Since then, the hurricanes have been quite mild.

What is climate change global warming causing?

"Climate Change" and "Global Warming" are not the same, though related. Global Warming causes Climate Change. With Global Warming we understand the warming of the earth's global temperature. That warming has in turn an effect on the earth's global climate and on more localized climates (like the climate of England or Western US).


How will global warming affect us in NZ?

Global warming is projected to increase temperatures in New Zealand, leading to more extreme weather events such as heatwaves and heavy rainfall. This can impact agriculture, water resources, and infrastructure in the country. Additionally, rising sea levels will pose a threat to coastal communities and ecosystems in New Zealand.


Is the greenhouse effect good or bad?

If there was no natural greenhouse effect we would all be frozen to death. We need the heat that is trapped by the greenhouse gases to keep us warm and alive. But the increasing amount of methane and carbon dioxide is causing an accelerated or enhanced greenhouse effect, lifting the temperature of the earth and causing global warming. Global warming is then causing climate change. So some greenhouse effect is good. Too much is certainly bad. So technically, the Greenhouse effect is good but also bad.


The greenhouse effect is making the earth warmer colder or windier?

The greenhouse effect is making the Earth warmer overall. This however is not apparent to the casual local observer as the changing weather patterns resulting from the same overall warming may make some areas warmer, some colder, some wetter and some drier.


What is the significance of study of global warming?

Well there is nothing really significant about it in a GOOD way. Its more notorious, or known for a bad reason. It can significantly effect our lives, it can significantly change the earth, it can single handedly distroy everything we learned to love and create what we do not want and know to hate. It is significant in a way that no one can understand, and that's why we all try to research and study it. That's why we all talk about it. That's why plenty choose NOT to believe in it, because their lives would be easier without it. They think they are smart and that there is nothing significant about global warming. but we know they are cowards and that there is only significance in global warming. Just not the kind that makes us smile.

How does infrared radiatio relate to global warming?

Infra-red picks up thermal imagery. It related to global warming as it contributes to the greenhouse effect. However, it also helps us to see where the global warming is affecting the climate and how much it is raising each year.
