How does global warming cause COLDER weather?

Hi! Global warming causes COLD weather because it makes the ice to melt. Then, the oceanic current slows down, since it's a difference of salt and "sweet" water that makes it run. So, if "sweet" water from the melted ice comes into the current, it's less salty, so it will stop to function. If the current stops, then the continents get colder, because the current is that kept them warm. I hope this helps! Daniel from Romania (sorry for my bad writing skills, but I hope you understand)

Many factors involved in global temperatures.\n\nFirst, position on the globe in relation to solar angle.  Is the sun hitting directly perpendicular or how far from 90º is it?\n\nSecond, Upper air patterns.  Due to radiational heating, certain places will be hotter or cooler.  Depending on jetstream location and time of year... it shifts and moves.  Bringing either warmer, or colder air with it.\n\nThirdly, Water current patterns.  A cold stream will cool the air, and a warm stream will warm the air.\n\nDefinately other issues as well, such as pollution.  Extra atmospheric blankets = more retained heat energy.

warm air and cold air combine to make storms... in the winter there is less warm air

The climate system varies both through natural, "internal" processes as well as in response to variations in external "forcing" from both human and non-human causes, including solar activity, volcanic emissions, and greenhouse gases. Climatologists agree that the earth has warmed recently. The detailed causes of this change remain an active field of research, but the scientific consensus identifies greenhouse gases as the primary cause of the recent warming. Outside of the scientific community, however, this conclusion can be controversial.\n\nAdding carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4) to Earth's atmosphere, with no other changes, will make the planet's surface warmer; greenhouse gases create a natural greenhouse effect without which temperatures on Earth would be an estimated 30 °C (54 °F) lower, and the Earth uninhabitable. It is therefore not correct to say that there is a debate between those who "believe in" and "oppose" the theory that adding carbon dioxide or methane to the Earth's atmosphere will, absent any mitigating actions or effects, result in warmer surface temperatures on Earth. Rather, the debate is about what the net effect of the addition of carbon dioxide and methane will be, when allowing for compounding or mitigating factors.\n\nOne example of an important feedback process is ice-albedo feedback. The increased CO2 in the atmosphere warms the Earth's surface and leads to melting of ice near the poles. As the ice melts, land or open water takes its place. Both land and open water are less reflective than ice, and so absorb more solar radiation. This causes more warming, which in turn causes more melting, and the cycle continues.\n\nDue to the thermal inertia of the earth's oceans and slow responses of other indirect effects, the Earth's current climate is not in equilibrium with the forcing imposed by increased greenhouse gases. Climate commitment studies indicate that, even if greenhouse gases were stabilized at present day levels, a further warming of perhaps 0.5 °C to 1.0 °C (0.9–1.8 °F) would still occur.

If you mean the greenhouse effect, the present increase in the amounts of Carbon Dioxide and other green house gasses caused by human activities is causing the Earths atmosphere to heat up. This is gradually melting the polar ice caps and other glaciers and causing the sea levels to rise. As most of the World's cities are close to sea level this will cause catastrophic flooding. The temperature increase will also cause climate change on a major scale. There will be more desserts and many more strong hurricanes and cyclones.

The tilt of the planet causes uneven heating of the Earth's surface,during the summer months,the northern hemisphere is closer to the sun,causing warm weather,as the Earth orbits the sun,it maintains this tilt,until the northern hemisphere is farther,causing cold weather.Consequentialy,when the northern hemisphere is experiencing winter,the southern hemisphere is experiencing summer and vice versa.Spring and fall are the time in between these transitions.

Should be simple.  Warm air rises because it is less dense than cool air.  Cool air rushes in to replace the rising warm air.\n\nPlug this simple formula into the complex real world of spinning globe, equitorial heat and polar regions & you get weather.

Global warming is caused by an increase in greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere.  Global warming has been proven, the only people who argue against it have no understanding of science and no idea what is going on in the world.  Humans are not the only cause of greenhouse gasses, but we contribute to the problem greately.  The fact is that the earth cycles through warming and cooling periods but manking disturbs the normal process and increases the rate of warming (mostly by CO2 increases from burning oil.)  There are natural sources of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses as well, volcanoes can spew millions of tons of CO2 in a matter of days... the earth has supported life through very hot and very cold peroids, but there is NO realistic argument that humans don't influence global warming.\n\nThe greenhouse effect is necessary for life as well, if all of the CO2 was elimated from the atmosphere life as we know it on earth would end, the earth would be a frozen, barren wasteland.  Without any greenhouse gasses the earth would not maintain a reasonable temperature; nights would drop to -80 Celcius on the warm parts of the planet... \n\nThe earth will recover from all of the damage we do when we are gone... life adapts, species are eliminated every year, but no little coverage is given to the new species the are discovered every year... evolution is in progress, global warming is a change, not a destruction.

Global warming is an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. The term is also used for the more specific scientific theory of anthropogenic global warming, which states that much of the recent observed (and projected) global warming is human-induced and the result of a strengthened greenhouse effect caused by man-made increases in carbon dioxide (through the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation) and other greenhouse gases. The natural greenhouse effect keeps the Earth 30 °C warmer than it otherwise would be; adding carbon dioxide to an atmosphere, with no other changes, will make a planet's surface warmer. Current research tries to uncover more details, e.g. about positive and negative feedback mechanisms, to allow a more precise quantification of the effect.

The warm front is moving into colder air. The moisture at the leading edge of the front freezes when it hits the cold air causing snow. As the front moves through, the warm air is increasingly higher in altitude which causes the falling moisture to warm up in the form of sleet then freezing rain then rain.\n\nHope this helps!

I dont know the seriousness in your question but for one, I hate the cold so plz dont suggest puttin the sun off and two, green house gases that TRAP HEAT causes global warming. Not the sun (and yeah yeah, the sun gives off heat, but so does machinary, body heat, lab exothermic reactions, weapons of mass destruction, fires etc)

The cold air outside causes the window to become cold. The air near the window or glass also becomes cold (loses energy) and condenses on the glass. That's why the rear glass of cars have window heaters so that the glass warms up and makes the water on the glass become a gas again, thus no fog.

Global Warming is cause by solar activity.  The increase in the number of sun spots causes the earth to warm.  The temperatures were hotter in the 1920 than now.  The hurricanes were also just as bad then as now.  A rise in CO2 from 1/4% to 1/3% in the atmosphere has no impact on global temperature.  The scientific community has only been accurately measuring temperatures for 30 years.  The only validated temperature measurement of the earth is from the polar satellite.  In 30 years it has only seen on temperature anomaly.  A rise of 1/4 of a degree caused by the full moon.  No other measurement system has shown the accuracy to measure this rise.  Therefore they are not! The polar ice cap has only been watched for 30 years by satellite.  No one measured it before, so how can they say it is now melting for all time.  They don’t know, they are drawing 1000 year conclusions with 30 years of data.  Not possible, not valid.

These effects include sea level rise, impacts on agriculture, reductions in the ozone layer, increased intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, and the spread of disease. In some cases, the effects may already be being experienced, although it is difficult to attribute specific natural phenomena to long-term global warming. In particular, the relationship between global warming and hurricanes is still being debated. [21] [22] A draft statement by the World Meteorological Organization acknowledges the differing viewpoints on this issue [23].The extent and likelihood of these consequences is a matter of considerable controversy. A summary of possible effects and recent understanding can be found in the report of the IPCC Working Group II [24]. Some scientists believe global warming is already causing death and disease across the world through flooding, environmental destruction, heat waves and other extreme weather events.

Global warming has two main applications. The first is that there are certain gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, warming planets. This is known to take place on Venus, Earth, and the gas giants. Earth is the hospitable place that it is because of global warming.\n\nThis takes place because of greenhouse gases, which allow radiation from the sun to pass through the atmosphere and warm the surface of the earth. The surface then re-radiates this energy back towards space in the infrared spectrum. This energy would escape and our planet would be as cold as the moon, were it not for the greenhouse gases (mainly CO2, ozone, methane, and water vapor). They absorb the infrared energy and radiate it back to earth, increasing the overall amount of radiation hitting the earth's surface, keeping it warm day and night.\n\nThat this takes place is clear and indisputable. There is simply too little energy coming from the sun to account for our planet's temperature. The controversial point is when global warming is applied to the current rise in average global temperature that has taken place over the past 50 so years. Most scientists believe that warming of the planet is due to increases in greenhouse gases, mainly CO2, mainly due to human activities on earth.

Global warming is the theory that the Earth's atmosphere and oceans are getting warmer due to pollution and other environmental factors induced by humans.\n\nSome of the factors include burning fossil fuels (oil) and deforrestation (trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere).\n\nThere's discussion that if the effects of global warming aren't counteracted, ice caps will melt, sea levels will rise, and weather patterns could be altered. \n\nLow-lying coastal cities such as Bangladesh or New Orleans could be wiped out within the next 100 years as sea levels rise. Weather patterns could be altered, bringing drought to areas that used to have lots of rain, and rain to areas that used to be arid.\n\nRead any of the sources below, and you'll find more information about the causes and potential effects. It's definitely something that shouldn't be ignored.

Global Warming is the increase in temperatures in our climate within our atmosphere. It is caused by liberal politicians and environmental wackos from the US and other western countries yakking, crying and complaining about how our modern way of life ( i.e. anything from industrial, technological and day to day conveniences ) is polluting and destroying the planet. The toxic gasses produced by all their whining and complaining is filling up our atmosphere with warm unfilthy air. The result is a "greenhouse" effect. All that hot, vile and unhealthy  gasses coming out of their mouth is a danger to us all. As a sidebar, I have to note that the environmental wackos and the liberal politicians have different agendas as to why they are crying and complaining, but that is another topic all together. \n\nSo in short, Global Warming is caused by hot air coming out environmentalist and left-wing politicians mouths when whining and complaining about anything. Solution: shut them up. \n\nWhat effect does it have in a million years: it will stump human and humanities growth
