Lake Superior 20 degrees warmer than normal

Smog is smoke plus fog. It is not comprised solely of CO2 but rather unburnt hydrocarbons, CO, CO2, SO2 and other chemicals. And although CO and unburnt hydrocarbon gases iaren't created in nature except through combustion, all the other gases are.

Smog is also only a localized phenomenon, not a climate event.

It was really a rhetorical question, as "smog" is only one example of man-made junk filling the atmosphere.

And it serves as an excellent example of how man can harm a localised area. But affecting the entire globe is a little beyond us at the moment, save for a nuclear winter of course.
 
A friend of ours just went diving in Lake Superior. He enjoys looking at shipwrecks. He said the temperature was 37 degrees (colder than usual).
 
that is about as intelligent as claiming that global warming is the cause of heavier snowfall.

Denying that GW could lead to more snowfall in some places, shows a total lack of understanding of the topic. How much intelligence does it take to realize that warmer temps would lead to more moisture in the atmosphere, anyway?!?!

Global warming means it gets warmer everywhere, all the time. That means less snowfall overall and more rain overall. Confusing weather and climate shows a complete lack of understanding of the entire concepts involved. Maybe you should spend a little time studying the models that the AGW crowd puts out before you start accusing me of not understanding the topic.

But not the same consistent temperature everywhere. That's where your logic falls apart.




Certainly not. But then if we just looked at the record cold temperatures of last winter when over 1.7 million animals in Mongolia alone perished, wouldn't that serve a similar argument for global cooling? Or warming? Or... well now I think you see the problem. The AGW folks will jump on every warm day and claim it is an example of GW. Yet when we point out the cold days those are dismissed out of hand.

Do you see the problem there?
 
ahh yes. 73% of all land is covered by water. Of the remaining 27% less than 10% is urban. now you are going to tell me that less than 2.7% of the surface is going to control and change the climate, even slowly instead of the other way around?

Oooooookie dokie.

No, that is where yours falls apart. You get the same average temperature because the operative part of global warming is the word global, not warming, the latter just reflects a trend.
