Ah, I don't mind winter so much. But I'm with comedian Lewis Black ("The White Album") when it comes to another season: "F**k Fall!"

In fall I just can't stand the rain and the mud and the decaying leaves and damp, moist, moldy feeling everywhere. At least in winter the mud can freeze and the precipitation can be frozen so it not damp all the time.

Still, excellent snow finger.

I don't know where the snow is in Hiby's part of the country but it showed up here about a month ago. I took these out of the my window this morning and just stuck them together. It would have been a lot nicer a couple of days ago because it had just snowed again and all the trees were covered. Click the image to see it full sized.

The mountains in the background, except the one on the left, are the province of Québec and the building with the green roof is my old high school, the roof was brown back then though. The mountain ridge in the right foreground blocks the view of the rest of Campbellton and of Pointe-à-la-Croix, Québec (formerly known as Cross Point, but the Bloc Québecois did away with English names in Québec).

It snowed for a few days in november, then just stopped. It's snowed a very, very little bit since, but the snow just isn't here yet :confused: This is not very normal..

For being so close to a massive lake, you'd think it would snow more..

that picture was out of your window??? holy crap.. Nice area you live in!

It sort of looks like that where I live too.

Well technically this (http://show.imagehosting.us/show/1817253/0/nouser_1817/T0_-1_1817253.jpg) is the view out my window, where I keep the computer, but the view is a lot nicer on the other side of the house. Yes I know I live in a very small city right now but Halifax and Montréal are only about 6 and 7 hours away (but in opposite directions), and a train leaves here for both cities six days a week. It takes about 3 to 4 hours longer by train though, but you can sleep on your way to Montréal and you get there in the morning, and its the same thing coming back.

Heh, reminds me of one Brazilian friend of mine. He has never seen snow in real life too so he asked me to send him photos of Finland when the winter came. Dozens of photos taken for him during few years just because he wanted more and more snow photos ! I should have just mailed him some snow in jar... :p (or maybe in thermo bottle :blink: )

From June to September, it snows here (in parts of Australia, but not where I am; Sydney) and drops to as low as 3 degrees celsius, or in your cases, 37 fahrenheit'ish (at night).

From September to the end of January, it hits 35-40 celsius or in your cases, 95-104 fahrenheit and can be as high as 30*c at night!

The climate down here is ridiculous! Honestly, literally as well, one day it is 35*c, the next it's thunderstorms with a huge downpour and 10*c. The next day, it's back to 35*, and the day after it's another thunderstorm. As I type this, it's about 15*c in the middle of Summer and it's raining. I'll check back tomorrow and see what it is :p

i love winter. i live in sacramento, california. its gets incredibly hot here almost to 120f in summer. but when its cold....its COLD. like a high of 40. but winter is my favorite time of the year mainly because i love christmas time + i love my winter clothes. i like summer but i just cant stand the heat, i just hate that sticky feeling, especially since theres no beaches or oceans in sacramento.

whats the winter weather like in paris?

We had quite a long summer this year but it looks like it's over now :(

You can compare Paris and Corsica weather btw. The sun is north today but it's still warmer down there (and cloudy) :).

of course it is. where you been? lol

i heard by 2040, theres gonna be no more ice in the north pole and the sea level is gonna rise 3 feet. doesnt sound like much, but all the low lying coastal lands are gonna flood. but eh, we'll all be too old to do anything about it. just let the kids deal with it..lol

Apparently Global Warming will increase climate temperatures by something like 8 degrees C by the time we're old men.

Hottest day I can remember is 2006 new years here in Sydney. It was 45*C. I can't imagine it being 50+... My air-con malfunctioned cause it was too hot. The irony...

Lol.

It's going to take a lot longer than that to melt all the ice.

The global temperature has rised less than 2C in the last 50 years or so (I forgot the exact number of years), while that may be a significant number, it's going to take a lot more to melt the ice. Also, there isn't really much to prove that humans actually caused a significant amount of that.

The earth is going to warm up no matter what we do.. Our kids can't change it, they have to just live with it..

The rate is rising exponentially due to the fact that technology has improved almost exponentially as well. We're burning a lot more fuels nowadays than 50 years ago.

We're also filtering it a hell of a lot better than 50 years ago.

I will agree with you that we release more greenhouse gases than we did 50 years ago, but the rate that the temperature is rising is much, much faster than it should be given our output of the gases.

Oh, and ozone depleting substances are banned in most places of the world now, except for the US and a select few other places, and are even being phased out of those countries. 50 years ago, the release of freon and other CFCs were a lot higher than they are now.

If you look at a lot of the studies supporting humans as the main contributor to global warming, you will see that a lot of them never actually actually state what was done in the studies, but rather they state their interpretations of the results.

Don't get me wrong, I know we as a race are releasing a shitload of harmful chemicals into the environment, as I know the earth is heating up. I'm just saying that I really don't think that humans are actually the main, or even close to the main, cause of global warming.

This graph should explain atleast some things about what I'm saying :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Vostok-ice-core-petit.png It is the temperatures taken from the "Vostok ice core" over the last 400 000 years

Eh? So many fluctuations.

Hehe - This is a pretty cool site as well: http://www.breathingearth.net/

It shows how often a person enters and leaves the world as well as CO2 emission. I don't know how accurate it is, but if the real thing is anywhere close, that's a heck of a lot of waste.

HibyPrime

12-16-2006, 09:56 PM

How the hell is that even possible?

I don't know really know anything about the weight of air (other than I know that it's light..), but 1000 tonnes of CO2/5.4 sec released by the US alone seems like a rediculous amount.. even one tonne of air seems like a fucking massive amount.

SupaKrupa

12-16-2006, 10:39 PM

Maybe 1 tonne... lol

Edit: CO2 is heavier than air though, obviously, but scientifically, carbon and 2 oxygens are heavier than 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygens (molecules).

HibyPrime

12-16-2006, 11:14 PM

Yeah, that sounds a lot more realistic than 1000 tonnes! Edit: no sarcasm intended.

Edit: CO2 is heavier than air though, obviously, but scientifically, carbon and 2 oxygens are heavier than 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygens (molecules).

Yeah, based on the scale of their molecules.

In reality, they exist at different densities, at room temperature. When they are both gasses or solids (>100C or <78.5C), then they are more comparable but are probably still in different densities.

Also, if CO2 is heavier than air, then why is it in the upper atmosphere causing the greenhouse effect in the first place? Edit2: That was a serious question. I don't know why but the way it came out made it look like I was being sarcastic :/

wow look at those temperatures. i wish it could go down to like 5-8c here in california. after it being hot for so long you just want a break and want to wear a lot of clothes. plus hot + christmas doesnt go well together, it just doesnt feel right.
