    It will still affect the environment it causes acid rain all those chemicals will come back down.

    As long as it's not to acidic we're fine. Especilly if it rain in the ocean and just gets dilluted even on fall.

    No it falls the chemicals will still be in it including all the pollutants which are acidic or basic. If you pollute oceans then you affect the ocean ecosystem which humans also rely on.

    Acid rain is bad. It kills the surrounding environment. At the risk of making yourself sound even stupider, please continue with your rants

    GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT ABOUT HOW WARM THE WEATHER FEELS OUTSIDE. Most experts in the field have agreed for some time that while the general trend over the next few decades is warming, the more immediate effect of excess atmospheric carbon will be more extreme weather.

    Oh, never mind. IT SNOWED TODAY OMG GLOBAL WARMING IS TEH FAKEZ AL GORE INVENTED THE INTERNETS.

    We here in Britain had extreme snowing weather in 2 consecutive years, who's know what will happen around November to February. IT'S GLOBAL WARMING I TELL YA! HAHAHA

    It was treated like the blitz, news reporters all over the country were attacked by ravenous minors with snowballs.

    Whoever called it global warming is stupid, it should be called climate change.Why?
    Because its no going to just get hot everywhere.It will get much colder in some places as well.

    Winter getting colder... summer isn't getting any hotter. I do not see your point.

    It's just a normal cycle. That's basically how the world works, or at least climate change. In the Medieval period they went through something relative to this.

    Just because your having a relatively less hotter summer than usual doesn't disprove shit. DISPUTING A FACT DOES NOT MAKE IT A "DISPUTED FACT." Hardly anyone could dispute that the Earth's temperatures are getting hotter. Its the reasons that its getting hotter that are in dispute.

    Simply being at a high point in our past 50 years is nothing major. I don't even know why they bothered to include Niger and Sudan in that list Big J, they've only been recording for, what, 25 years? Also, 17 nations? Out of hundreds and hundreds?

    In other words, there's no reason to expect anything still. Your taking a Hypothesis and making it a Conclusion, basiclly.

    No we can use the Arctic as another example also seeing this dramatic change in temperature in only 25 years is the scary part.

    Acid rain is bad? No, I had no idea! I mean it's just acid in rain, how could that possibly end badly?

    Anyway, it doesn't "kill the surrounding environment" like the skies are pouring sulphuric acid or something, the water is slightly acidic, is all and thus there's some problems with the enviornement and all. But when a highly dilluted acid falls in a giant, giant, giant body of water it becomes almost nothing.

    I'm glad you here though Sly, because, how else would we have figured out that acid rain was bad?

    Okay now you failed Grade 6 science. Acid rain affects the soil in the area by messing up PH balance in the soil which kills plants and affects what kind of life van live in water.

    The Arctic's heart is fine, it's the edges that are melting a bit.
    Other than that, there's tons of theories. For instance, it could be a cycle that will again go down in the next 10-20 years.

    Before you pull any graphs showng fuel emisions and increased temperatures just know that I could pul out increased chair use and increase chocholate revenues and say they were connected too.

    You do realize that the ice in the Arctic has been reduced by almost 20% which more than just a little around the edges and it's getting worse.
