It's 97°F here and there is a hailstone shower going on.
WTF is going on? It's supposed to be summer?

i think thats rain caught in an updraft tom


------------------------------


we get global warming here every summer

It gets really hot around here in East Central Wisconsin every sunner as of late.

In Texas... for the past couple years we've been in drought during the summer..
But for some reason, this year, up until this past weekend, it had been raining somewhere around my area everyday(!) for almost a month.
And we had a WINTER storm.
That never happens.

This is Europe though. Have you noticed how there's even been eartquakes and tornadoes in the uk. Not to mention all the flooding.
I've lived in Germany since 1982, And I've never experienced anything like this.
We haven't really had what you would call a real winter here for about 10 years.
It just seems like spring, Summer, Fall, Spring, Summer, Fall continuously.

It's 39 celcius here in Belleville right now BUT feels like 38 or 100.4 F with the humidity!!!!!!


This is Canada!!!!!!!

To uk1971. When did you think hailstorms happen. They form high up in supercell thunderstorms. Hail does not come in the winter, at least not in the northern hemisphere, that is caused by cold temperatures on the ground and in the air,
In a supercell, the updraft is strong enough to water droplets 60,000ft up. Pretty cold way up there. These waterdroplets connect with water droplets and eventually the hail stone is too big and down they come
Freezing rain and ice pellets have a different type of cloud, these in the winter do not become supercells. That is part of global warming and that is WTF is going on.

TEXAS IS HEAVEN NOW-A-DAYS

ha! ive got you all beat!im in grass valley nor cal,now ive bben here since the 70s.we get on the avrage 3 feet of snow here and 10 to 15 up higher.its been slowly vanishing in the past few years and in the past two(NOTHING)just a little up high around the 10thousand mark.yes theres something going on!!!

well explained sing. Global warming is effecting the polar ice caps, melting them and causing global waters to rise. Local changes in your weather while there are slight.

So, to just notice these weather changes, or do something about it?
Look at how you burn electricity, how you burn fossil fuels...and before someone says, 'Yeah, well, what difference can I do?" Think about, how accumulative reducing emissions can impact...300 mill in the States..20 mill in Australia..etc etc..

We can make an impact in a positive way..turn off the lights you aren't using, turn your appliances off at the wall..don't leave them on standby...change your bulbs to flourescent, take bags with you when doing your groceries...get out and walk to the corner store...give a neighbour a lift, when you are driving...plant a few trees in your backyard...

Educate yourselves...go cruising on the net for ways YOU can make a difference...to your pocket...and your world.

just remember one thing!
mother earth doesnt give a sh!t about us
after were gone she will heal herself

Global warming is BS as far as "it's mans fault
" goes.

ins only 97 there?!?! must be nice!! its 105 here again!! uugg!!!!! its sssoooo HOT!!!! << sweat not tears!! hehehe

As to laying blame...it's like shutting the gate after the horse has bolted...it's semantics...it's what can be done to prolong human existance, that is of more interest o me...for my children...yours...the future of our unborn great grand children...

Then yer gonna need to come up with some way to control the cycles of the sun Jess.

Good point Hanged, this Solar system does it's thing, with or without us...but the damage to this biosphere...this atmosphere, and the natural breathing cycles of this earth...the deforestation..the change within the oceans natural 'pump' for warm and cold temperatures...we have contributed to...we have contributed to shifting the balance..and without the protection of the atmosphere, the natural balance and cycles...do impact.

Acceleration is what we have contributed to...

I refuse to just shrug...throw my hands in the air, and say well it will all be gone soon..and what do I care..I will be dead anywya..
