tss, I totally believe that - the effects of global warming snowball (so many plays on words here!). For instance, the ice at the poles reflects a lot of energy from the sun away. However, they are smaller now than they used to be, so they reflect less of that energy. Further, water absorbs that energy, so more of that surface area covered in water increases the amount of energy absorbed.

yes that is exactly right...and the effect g.w. has on the weather is the same and goes hand in hand with what you just said...it will get worse as time goes on...

such as hurricanes...which transform and transfer energy...

and it will also create hot spots(and cold spots Shocked

) that mess up wind patterns(yes..wind patterns)...which will also affect weather...

and cause many other problems in other areas...some of which...i feel certain(but can't prove of course) we are not even aware of yet...

Like I said: The earth is in no trouble, it will seek and find balance. It is the scruffy, hairy little dwarves swarming all over its surface that are in trouble.
