Question: Why did climate change happen during other time periods?
Because climate change happen one way in the past, does that mean it must happen the same way again?

Answer:

Answer by John Terry
“Why” is not fully understood. We do know that CO2 levels were lower during many of those periods than they are today. That does mean that whatever caused those comparable periods COULD have caused the early and late 20th century warming periods.

Climate change happened in the past without an increase in CO2 and for reasons not fully understood – apparently we agree on that point. Does it mean that the 20th century warming necessarily WASN’T caused by CO2?

No.

It DOES mean that we cannot simply INFER that it was caused by CO2.

And that inference is the entire case for man-made global warming.

…..that inference plus long-range predictions made by models that haven’t accurately predicted shorter-term temperature shifts – which means it’s dishonest or ignorant to insist that the models accurately reflect – and thus can rule out – all natural climate variables.

It’s simply not accurate to conclude that “natural forcings cannot explain the late 20th century warming” – it’s accurate to conclude that “our understanding of how natural forcings is limited and we cannot prove a natural cause or causes for the late 20th century warming – but we cannot prove what caused prior, comparable warming or cooling periods either.”

Question: Are we all doing our part to tackle climate change?
Admit it, some of you guys are not encouraging climate change as you should be. So, give me some ideas about what you are doing to tackle it in order to save our planet for future generations to come.

Answer by Raptor
My company and I are doing a whole lot to reduce our carbon footprint, and I am President of the Company. My AC is kept at a higher temperature, but made just as comfortable by running fans using the principal of a wind chill. I don’t use any plastic bottles for beverages. I drive a Chevy Aveo, which has lower emissions and gets excellent gas mileage. And when I can get my hands on them, I’m going to roll solar foil on the roof, generate more electricity than I make, and get paid for the power I send back. But most importantly, I’m creating a proposal for energy independence by 2020 and am building support so that I can make a genuine impact.

Question: I Would like to move to a warmer climate without the harsh snowy winters.?
I Would like to move to a warmer climate without the harsh snowy winters.?
Is there any place in America that is warm most of the year with winters that do not go below 30 degrees, have no hurricanes, earthquakes or tornados? Currently I live close to Philadelphia which offers various festivals, lots of museums and night life but the winters can be frigid with lots of snow. Any suggestions?

Answer:

Answer by kaptainfelix
Non where the winter never goes below 30 degrees.

Florida has too many hurricanes

Best bet would be Arizona, Nevada or New Mexico

Pretty much the same. The earth was warmer and the air wasn’t as thin. There was more humidity. Try googling for global climate change.

Question: how is climate influenced in a location in Canada?
I know that solar radiation is one reason, but why would it be cold in one area, and worm in another, due to climate and the location.
Also, why do you think climate is so important for canadians?

Answer:

Answer by Charles K
how is climate influenced in a location in Canada?I think the climate is influenced in a location because of the direction of the winds——– The climate of Canada is mainly influenced by the sea surface temperature and the sea ice extent of the surrounding seas as well as by the snow cover.http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/canada_e.html Climate

Climate sculpts the landscape through heat, cold, humidity, light and wind. In Canada, the variety of landscapes shows the diversity of our climate. In the north, low precipitation and cold temperatures favour permafrost and suppress vegetation growth, resulting in treeless tundra. South of the tundra, on the Canadian Shield, summers are short and warm, and winters are long and cold. Annual precipitation is abundant, allowing coniferous forests to establish and grow. On the Pacific coast, the combination of heavy rainfall and mild temperatures year round supports temperate rain forests. On the Prairies, the large number of days of sunshine affects the development of the agricultural landscape. In the Maritimes, the Atlantic Ocean moderates the climate such that winters are generally long and mild, and summers are short and cool. These conditions help in the development of forests. Finally, around the Great Lakes and alongside the St. Lawrence River as far downstream as the city of Québec, the climate is characterized by relatively warm summers and cool winters, moderated by surrounding water bodies. These conditions are suitable to the development of mixed wood and broadleaf forests. http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/maps/environment/climate

Average winter and summer high temperatures across Canada vary depending on the location. Winters can be harsh in many regions of the country, particularly in the interior and Prairie provinces, which experience a continental climate, where daily average temperatures are near ?15 °C (5 °F) but can drop below ?40 °C (?40 °F) with severe wind chills. In noncoastal regions, snow can cover the ground almost six months of the year (more in the north). Coastal British Columbia is an exception; it enjoys a temperate climate, with a mild and rainy winter.

On the east and west coast, average high temperatures are generally in the low 20s °C (70s °F), while between the coasts, the average summer high temperature ranges from 25 to 30 °C (75 to 85 °F), with occasional extreme heat in some interior locations exceeding 40 °C (104 °F).For a more complete description of climate across Canada, see Environment Canada’s Website.

Question: Do you think that climate changes have affected the movement of continents?
Scientists say how the movement of continental landmasses have affected the climate changes during the Phanerozoic period on earth. Do you think that the converse is true as well, that climate changes have affected the movement of continents?
