'More winter storms don't prove that global warming isn't happening,' NOAA says

Scientists are sending a message to those who are skeptical of global warming because of this week’s arctic blast. It comes a day after President Trump tweeted: “What the hell is going on with Global Warming? Please come back fast, we need you!" WCBS chief weathercaster Lonnie Quinn joins "CBS This Morning" to put the discussion into perspective.

Delivered by Norah O’Donnell, Gayle King, John Dickerson, and Bianna Golodryga, "CBS This Morning" offers a thoughtful, substantive and insightful source of news and information to a daily audience of 3 million viewers. The Emmy Award-winning broadcast presents a mix of daily news, coverage of developing stories of national and global significance, and interviews with leading figures in politics, business and entertainment.

That's the problem, everything proves global warming and nothing can ever disprove it. Hotter weather, colder weather, more rain, less rain, no change in the weather, it all points towards global warming!

It's January. It's cold in the U.S. and hot in Australia. Who would of ever thunk it?

[tre]

So it’s gonna be hot asf this summer basically

[peterepoet]

Just exactly where do they say - 27 F temps come from? What fools they take us for.

It’s trying to cool off but it don’t work

The coldest temperature in North Dakota was -60F below zero in 1934. The record high was 121F in 1936.

Weather, everybody talks about, but nobody does anything about it. Global warming, everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything about it. I was standing on the corner watching all the cars go by in this totally Democratic town. Most of them were 2 ton beasts with one passenger.

Did see a Tesla Model 3 today though. Way cool.

This weather makes perfect sense, if there is a very low pressure system somewhere. There must be a huge high pressure system elsewhere.

Despite it being cold in North America, January 2019 was still the 3rd hottest January on record across the globe. Also there’s reasons why a warmer arctic means colder in spots, a warmer arctic weakens the temperature difference between the poles and equator causing a weaker jet stream which allows colder air to sink further south than usual. This doesn’t disprove global warming. As Lonnie said, yes extreme cold events will occur, but we are getting more extreme heat events which beats out the cold increasing the average and because Earth is getting warmer due to the greenhouse effect, heat records are outpacing cold records. We should also mention weather isn’t climate, weather in parts of the planet can be anomaly cold, but overall on average most locations are getting warmer.


And Lonnie said it well, heat creates rising hair causing more extreme weather, we are seeing that with stronger hurricanes and other kinds of cyclones not only that but warmer oceans means more evaporation which means more heavier rain and snow storms. Plus warmer air can hold more water vapor.

An astonishing -62.4°C was recorded in Tongulakh, Siberia on January 14th. In addition to becoming Earth’s coldest temperature recorded in 2023, the all-time station record was broken in Tongulakh. How is this explained away with global warming?

the sun is getting cooler Australia is summer now .it gets hot.look on youtube sun getting cooler they were a hot solar flair

[dannyj]

This is caused by the polar vortex slipping. The extreme cold of the Arctic and the heat of the tropics used to keep this jet stream wind whizzing around the Arctic and keeping the cold in place. But the Arctic is heating up astronomically and that is making the Polar Vortex go wobbly (like a spinning top slowing down). This is why the extreme cold has spilled out - it's a direct and catastrophic result of a super heated Arctic.

44 Degrees Celcius from Portugal with Love to you....

[eastsideyahdig.]

It’s more important thing to be concerned with than global warming.

[robertwadas]

This proves Govt knows the people and how to gve them money...less violent storms of every king, no dustbowls like the 30's...go take a look at the original findings...the 30s were hotter before the "adjustment"

[pumamountainlion]

You read it for what it should have said not for what it was, its acutely not talking about global warming at all, its talking about WAMING.

[Thejakefaul]

Its hot in Australia bc its summer time, smh. Its not that hard to understand.

I want people to understand that Carbon Dioxide (what you exhale) described as a Green House Gas is never discusses in terms of emissions. As night falls Carbon Dioxide radiates Infrared energy (all materials do but some are better at it like CO2) this is important in the cooling cycle of earth. Once a molecule of CO2 loses some energy it can absorb energy from gases like Nitrogen and Oxygen and then pass that again as infrared.
The heat capacity is the same for absorbtion and emission which means during a day night cycle CO2 helps warm as much as it helps cool. From all I've seen on the climate hype propaganda this fact is never mentioned. They want you to miss half the information and the truth about their Man Made Global Warming Theory.

[sergeantworteltjes]

If you really thinking about this.
Makes this sense?

[cas]

I live in south Florida and this cold going through is scaring the crap out of me. I’m so worried about hurricane season this year.

[jamesmartin]

don’t bother explaining it to trump & his trumpanzees
