California gets tornado and snow?

I was just looking on the weather channel and see that San Fran got snow and Sacramento had a tornado? Talk about some weird weather, so does this mean global warming is a thing of the past?:whistle:

Sadly, this means global warming is increasing. Normal weather patterns are being disturbed all over the world. Savage floods in some areas and devastating drought in others.
I bet it doesn't feel like it to the folks in San Fran.
It is happening. The debate is how much of the change is due to human activity.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

I wouldn't read so much into it. San Fran gets snow once every decade or two since they started recording in the late 1800's. We could be starting a natural cooling cycle too.

Actually the last snow in SF was 1976. Seems like yesterday, doesn't it.

I agree that this is hwere the debate is to how much it is caused by human activity. There are far too many forces within the universe that man doesn not understand. Also the other problem is that the earth has gone through simular cycles in what to us is the distant past but, in the terms of time is but a few seconds of time.

Can't argue global warming with me today. It's 21 degrees and snowing here in "not-tropical:patriot: " Thiensville, WI?

But they are predicting 78 for central Virginia Monday - and it's still February. Don't mention warming to our friends in Nova Scotia. This was Feb 2 - since then it has snowed every day.

The climate and weather have been changing for a few BILLION years, give or take a month or two. Its lunacy to think it was going to remain stable just because we built some cities on the coast.

Why so serious?

Don't talk global warming here in Edmonton February has had more -20 days than any other February in the last 50 Years, and that is Celcius which is -4 degree F. and it is not expected to get any better.

That to me is not warming.

We have had more drops of 20 or more degrees celcius (68 degrees F) in 24 hours this winter than I have ever seen.

We even had one which went from +16 (60.8 F) one day to minus 24 ( -11.2 F ) the next.

Nope no Global Warming. El Nina maybe but not even gonna go there.
