You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?

Snow at the end up April:

Sorry for the screen....

Global Warming. Duh.

[Logue]

Global Warming. Duh.

Wasn't that suppose to make the Earth WARMER, not COLDER??

And I know what you mean.... we got snow two days ago where I am, but it's almost all melted by now.

Actually, global warming is quite complicated. In short, the average earth temperature rises, but individual placese actually get more of an extreme thing, if it's cold its REALLY Cold, if it's hot it's REALLY hot. The reason is because hotter over all temperatures causes the wind paths(I forget the name, the jet stream is the biggest of them, but there are a bunch of others) to straighten out, as opposed to the twisting wind paths we have now. Normally because of the twisting wind paths the air gets spread all about, creating relative balance. However, with the winds moving them through areas of the same latitude they slowly either cool from lack of new hot air, or heat up from lack of new cold air.

That's probably worded poorly, but these sun burns are making me light headed and I can't think straight. >_<

We had snow/rain/hail/thunder storms all in one day last week here in Vancouver, good thing it was a Friday.

it is delicious snow, you must play in it.

Pigger told me on Warcraft 3 he and his friends made a male sexual organ out of the snow, but was really out of proportion (I'd rather not say it so bluntly XD) and was like 6 feet tall. So... yeah... lots of snow...

It's worded fine,but it's partly wrong. Here's how global warming works:

The average temperature of the Earth rises due to an increase in the thickness of the atmosphere, but the changes are more extreme in places that are cold because the Earth's wind and ocean currents are designed to redirect heat from the equator to the poles. The average temperature of the Earth now is about 59 degrees Fahrenheit. However, the temperature at the equator is pretty constant, but the poles can fluctuate in temperature more. So an increase of 1 degree at the equator translates to an increase of about 10-14 degrees at the poles. That's why we haven't noticed much of an impact, because the heat is being carried to the north and south poles, which is why they're melting so fast. The arctic ice caps act like mirrors that reflect the sun's rays, but once they're gone, the temperature at the poles will be much higher, which is when we'll feel the effects.

All I did was make a joke...make a Global Warming Topic in Serious Discussions, if you want to talk about it in it's own thread.

[Greenspawn]

Oh...

haha?

What really grinds my gears: Subtle jokes

[CrimsonSouldier]

What really grinds my gears. Bringing in a load of ivory and opium and then gettin pwnd by a trader with a gun. what a ****ing stupid thing... good thing its gone in 6.3!!! *failboat*

[Hell_Tempest]

You know what really grinds my gears...having to carry a computer monitor off of a truck that weighs like fifty berjillion tons..UP STAIRS!!!

People talking about global warming grinds my gears.
