Global warming is based on the North Pole getting warmer. In order for it to get warmer all of that cold air has to go somewhere. It does not just disappear.

That whole paragraph is filled with so many untruthes that I feel dumber for just reading it.

Global warming is based the average global temperature. Surprisingly global warming models predict a COLDER winter on average for those latitudes closer to the poles.

Generaly on the short term, the jet stream may cut across the artic bringing up warm air to the poles, while pushing the cold air downstream to lower latitudes. So in that sense, yes the cold air goes somewhere. But for long term issues like global warming, you certainly don't need the cold air to go somewhere to have warm air, your just heating the air that is already there.

Cold is a absense of heat. Cold can't "go" anywhere.

In other words cold is: The result of having no heat.

Wow. Another person confusing global temperature with climate with weather. How fun!

It's very simple: Just because average global temperature rises, doesn't mean it gets hotter everywhere. It's that sneaky "average" bit.

Global warming predicts cooling trends in some regions, warming trends in others. Global warming affects climate which effects weather.

Yeah, like I said, the cold air had to go somewhere and we got it. Some years the cold artic air never leaves the north pole and we have a mild winter. But once you start getting artic air, then you can pretty well count on having a cold winter.

Everything goes somewhere. It does not just cease to be. That is why solar systems are synchronize so much. Things get transfer from one place to another. For example, the spindown rate of the earth is transfer to the receding rate of the moon. Or at least the momentium from one gets transfered to the other.

DNAunion: Who cares...it's not like anyone in this forum is discussing science and using the scientifically correct definitions for terms....right Morat?!?! After all, if they were, nobody would say something as scientifically incorrect as the Earth revolves around its axis.
