Why do we even complain about global warming?

everybody was happy today. girls wearing less clothes, i was getting my guns out (pm for pics), the sun felt so good.

whenever i think of the winter, i just can't go back to it.
winter:


so what, the earth gets a few degrees warmer?

Less snow which means less skiing. Which is bad because I don't do well in the heat it sends me loopy.

climate change it's called now, not global warming

and i don't care about it because the damage is done and will continually to be done
Climate change is what you should be calling global warming, as it involves both a warming and cooling of certain places around the Earth. That is not to mention that an increase in sea level threatens an endless amount of global systems like the Gulf Stream, and will result in the flooding of low lying land, particularly the Netherlands and many Pacific Islands. Pretty much everything that I'm sure you've been spoon feed at school is supposed to come true if we continue to emit carbon at unsustainable levels. Having said that, NASA have reported that global temperatures have remained constant over the past 15 years, adding uncertainly as to the legitimacy of climate change.

So uneducated makes me sad.

You may be enjoying it now but when enough fresh water from melting ice causes shifts the Gulf Stream you will be crying about how the UK will have conditions similar to Moscow. Glasgow and Moscow share the same latitude.

Thousands of islands in the Pacific will be submerged so you can also enjoy even more environmental refugees taking your uneducated job space.

"Global warming is the term used to describe the current increase in the Earth's average temperature. Climate change refers not only to global changes in temperature but also to changes in wind, precipitation, the length of seasons as well as the strength and frequency of extreme weather events like droughts and floods"
lol at everyone moaning about the heat, it's only going to get worse in the future

If you write global warming in a geography exam they won't be pleased.

If the earth becomes just a few degrees warmer, the oceans will boil, there will be no crops, everywhere will be inhabitable and we will all die.

I had in fact done A-level Geography, and was surprised to see how many of my classmates lost marks for this confusion.
Global warming has a lot more impacts than that. You have the environmental impacts caused by the change in vegetation zones (e.g. certain zones shifting north) which could cause some species to become extinct. You could have increased spread of disease due to better conditions for certain insects. You have desertification in parts of Africa. etc. These concerns far outweigh the stupid "its niser wevver innit" argument.

And whether or not it's nicer is purely subjective. Personally I hate it when it's this hot.
