Has it gotten COLDER?

[Peter_20]

Haha, a while ago one of my uncles showed me some statistics that clearly showed that the mean temeprature on Earth has decreased.
This sounds like a bad joke if you consider the fact everyone goes on about how warm it is (:rolleyes2), but what do you think?

Heck, he even claimed we're soon in for another Ice Age, and he actually had some proof that backed him up, diagrams and such.
Also he's a very smart man, so he usually knows what he's talking about.

What do you think?

I actually came across that in a family board game, and it said it had gotten colder too. Still, it hasn't been this warm in Norway since the 60's.

Yeah, I find it quite strange, TBQH.
Everyone knows it's unusually warm, and still it's "gotten colder"?
What the hell?

I feel like laughing my ass off at some people who were actually quite convinced global warming would happen any time soon. It still a serious debate, but it happens all the time, the temperture wavers.

Please take a look at this diagram and then try telling me it's gotten colder:

Either my uncle is terribly wrong, or else this diagram is terribly wrong.

maybe, maybe not.
I still dont think Global Warming will happen too soon. The temperature raises and lowers alot. Just because there is a rise in temp. people start freaking out and think we are all going to die tomorrow because the sun will shoot fireballs at us or something.

I remember hearing about a possible iceage before. Its with the artic melting, and making our sea's colder.
I didn't think it was POSSIBLE to make british sea's colder.

Yeah, I read in the newspapers today about a climatologist who claimed this was all completely natural.

Well, if the glaciers in Iceland are melting, I would think not.

EVERYONE IS LIARS

Let's just hope it doesn't flood Sweden or anything on our latitudes.

The south would most likely be perfectly fine, I guess.

I think that is whats puzzling alot of people. its kinda freaky, and the polar bears are threatened
But I dont get why its warming in some places, and colder in another place.
I think because of the temp wavering, its happened before, and this time its a little warmer than the last time, that the past temp. is having a small effect.

Alot of places WILL end up being flooden. Im not sure if Sweden is one of them, but I know that where I live will be under water, maybe even Liverpool.

Global warming isn't something that's just "there" one day, and wasn't there yesterday. It is happening gradually, and it's happening now. What we're not sure about is how much we humans have affected it.

Hm, then let's hope it won't happen within our life time.
