i'm referring to god's country, the united states of america.
you sure do pack a lot of naked assurance in a few posts!
1. god has not been proven
2. this country was not founded as a christian nation
3. do more research before trying to throw global warming under the bus.... it's obvious you don't know the first thing about it other than those godless scientists are making it up because I stick my head out the window and it's cold.... try looking at the arctic sea ice levels and the global average temperature instead of being captain obvious and pointing out we're having cold weather as though it somehow disproves anything....

ok, so the rational explanation is "see that 3+ foot pile of snow on the ground? feel that sub-zero windchill? that's because the earth is getting warmer."
hahahaha
Hate to remind you how it is hotter than normal around my part of the world.... not that it matters as global warming doesn't say there will never be a cold spell ever again. Couldnt care if you don't believe in it though its not something the individual can have much effect on anyway.

hey, sudan: you know all that dry weather? yeah, that's because of all the rain!
Well, I am right in the middle of the worst part of the storm. Specifically, coastal Connecticut near NYC. Thus far, we have had two inches in the past hour and that on top of the single inch that we got overnight. Let's call it about 8 cm for the international crowd. Hardly the meter that you have in mind dude. What it will end up as by the end is anybodies guess but I would be surprised if it ended up much past two feet (750 cm).

Actually, yes it is.
The "warmth" we speak of here isn't something you will feel; it is something which makes the atmosphere hold much more moisture, which naturally causes the perceived temperature to become accentuated (the way moist air feels more chilly when cold and hotter when hot, relative to more arid areas). It also causes more rain and snow to fall, along with more violent storm cycles. Enjoy!

hey america: know how crime rates are decreasing in your cities? that's because of a marked increase in crime.

Well thats okay. It takes all kinds I suppose.
Theism is why we can't have nice things.
Try a quick google search sometime. You might find out something, like that increased climate temperature increases evaporation, which in turn makes storms more severe.
/but it's okay, because a .5 C change in the climate is supposed to mean it won't snow in your backyard. Right? Right?

I am Jim the atheist. Jeffrick is just what happens when you jam my real name into an eight letter call name. Green House gasses create climate change! NOT global warming. That means areas that are warm and sunny are FAR MORE warm and sunny then usual, and areas that are normally cold and snowy are FAR MORE cold and snowy.
Here in the Toronto area it is snowing { Feb. 10/10; 1:37 PM} we are expected to get between 1/4 to 1/2 an inch. This is only sub-normal for the GTA. I haven't gotten my snow blower out yet this winter, maybe in March or maybe not.

My wife and I were in Toronto over the weekend.
I was glad for the clear weather for the drive up and back.
It was a cold but clear weekend for walking the city!

That's good. Less fossil fuels expelled
Way to take one season out of context of weather's overall recorded trend on a global scale.
"It's cold today, therefor global warming is bullshit"
Does anyone mind if I call this bullshit?
And on top of that to the global warming detractors, EVEN IF, for argument's sake only global warming were bunk, which it seems not to be, but even if......
If one owns a house in Alaska and the toilet clogs, do you continue to use it despite it being clogged? Or, do you do something to correct it? If a toilet on the equator in Africa is clogged, do you continue to use it, or do you do something to correct it?
Temperature IS GOING TO FLUX with or without our species, but pollution will have a negative affect no matter what. Our species falsely thinks that 6 billion people can continue to expand and falsely expect the earth to keep up with our waste and it's ability to absorb it.
Temperature is a Red Haring. Even without fossil fuels the amount of bacteria we dump into trash can have an affect. Fossil fuels ARE contributing. And one could argue it's importance in ALL the waste we produce as a species, but it is only ONE aspect.
Scientists are looking at ALL of this. Even IF we got off of fossil fuels, which seems to be the most immediate danger, we would still have to figure out where to put our waste so that we don't end up wallowing in it.
I think humans are producing more waste than our planet can absorb, and all the waste we produce should be looked at.

Back in December we had some obscenely cold weather for a couple weeks here in the Seattle area. On a number of those days we experienced record lows even though the sun was shining. So if we take your logic to it's natural end, the sun does not heat the Earth. Stupid scientists.

Last time I checked the bible, god's country is Israel and the rest, well, they are not god's country. No mention in the bible that United states of America is god's country. However Israel is mentioned as being god's favorite many many times.
[Edit] Oh and winter here sucked in Toronto, barely any snow till today, and even then it was barely 3 inches, which for winter here means kinda like nothing, we had 2 years back to back with 4 feet or more of snow, this year I had green grass for most of winter.
Yeah, I agree, Israel is god's country. I do wish people would get it straight.
And here in Portland, OR, they are talking about summer drought already. We have had a fair amount of rain in town, not quite up to normal but not horrible. What is horrible is it is coming down as rain in the Cascades as well. Bad news. We rely on the snow pack for irrigation, city water reservoirs and hydro power.

That's about 25 feet, man!
if the globe gets any fucking warmer i'm gonna die of hypothermia!
Your sarcasm is noted.
Even so, that does not mean that local weather conditions can disprove global warming.
It is a fact that global temperatures change on the scale of decades and even before the modern age of heavy industry. Is heavy industry having an effect on the planet? Only a fool could say no to that. Is it causing global warming? Probably but the question would be to what extent.
Seriously, even if we went apeshit and sequestered all of our carbon emissions deep underground, the fact is that the second law of thermodynamics requires that all activity eventually produces a certain amount of heat. That heat can only go into the environment. So yes, human activity must add to the thermal load on the environment regardless of greenhouse gasses. Greenhouse gasses can only make what is already going on that much worse.

Just pray and ask God to keep you warm.
Don't build a fire or pay your heating bill - that shows a lack of faith.

Don't say that to my cousins in argentina who are dealing with 40 celcius degree weather, when normal temperatures are in the lower to mid 30's. But hey right global warming just strictly means that the earth is heating up, not that the heating up of the earth is affecting all it's weather, including winter, which for some places means more snow and in other places it means less snow, and it can go to both extremes. But hey why bother learning anything about global warming, just spit out stupidity it makes more sense to be ignorant than knowledgeable.

A climate skeptic senator built an igloo on capitol hill with a sign that said Al Gore's new. What absolute bull shit rhetoric. Makes me sick that he has any sort of control in our government. A child can tell the difference between climate and weather but a senator can't.

Shush, don't tell him that, you can't make a theist go cold turkey and quit watching FAUX NEWS. You have to give them methadone first and then SLOWLY ween them off of it.

What should we tell the Mormons then? According to them America IS God's fav.
And isn't it nice for the Jew what happens to them according to the bible in the end. Jews are merely the limo driver pulling up to the club where only the Christians get past the velvet ropes. What a deal for the Jews huh?

Could someone explain to me why some christians seem to have such problems with the notion of man-made global warming? Seems to me, that would be perfectly in line with their dogma of the sinful nature of man doing its thing, yadda yadda.
Except the God commanded man to conquer the earth, not be its stewards.
Gen 1:28 - "God blessed them (the human male and female) and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
They get confused whemn fallen, sinful man follows an edict of God so precisely.
