So this year, we've had more tornados and severe weather than the last few years combine. What the heck's going on? So many trees are down all over the city right now, (I live in Nebraska) it's insane. We were lucky... All of our neighbors have debris everywhere or trees on their houses. Some people still don't have electricity. The storm hit two days ago! xD And it only lasted for five freaky minutes! (With winds up to 100 mph, but still...)
Is anyone else having really weird, more-violent-than-usual weather?

I don't know; while humans definitely have contributed to a faster global warming affect, the world has been in a global warming for thousands of years (after all, Nebraska was once covered in ice, then submerged under water.. as the theory goes). But its all theoretical anyway. Don't get me wrong, I strongly consider it to be a factor in things.

I wonder if its because humans have overpopulated the earth. Studies in Omaha, Nebraska and the snow patterns have lead people to believe its not the vehicles we drive or whatnot that has caused the change, but the intense landscape changing that happened. We have so many suburbs that took out trees, fields, crops and even hills that it could possibly be affecting the weather. I must say, that the only tornadoes that have actually touched down were in the biggest Omaha suburb, which when I was a child, was nothing but a church, and a ton of cornfields. Then, the earth is so close to completing a full wobble on its axis that the slight climate changes may be related to this. We've also had years that the weather was significantly worse than usual.. plus we've had the usual amount of snow this past winter, although we've had more rain that usual..

Its all very interesting, I wish I was more scientifically inclined so I could study and understand the theories and have a stronger opinion one way or another.. I just assume all theories are possible twisted

Since I was a child and I had not even heard of Global warming, I noticed this.

In winter when I was about 4 the snow would come down to a certain level and we would go skieing in the mountains by this little lake. When I was 7 or 8 the skie feild wasnt by the lake any more it was further up. By the time I was in high school the ski feild was alot further up and the lake was fully melted all year. Now when I go up there, there are trees near the lake.

In summer I used to swim down at a river the has great laggons and mud and rapids all in one area. Its great fun. We used to go before christmas alot (Im in the southern hemisphere). As I got older it stopped being as warm and we could only go in the month after christmas.

I came up with the theory that winter and summer were going to swap over.

Im not going to say that humanity caused it. There is evidance for and against that. Im just gunna say im glad I live up a hill.

Mehh. There are just so many theories about the weather's funnyness... I think any of them are possible. But mostly, I like to think that the planet is pretty tired of us being here, lol.
We've got to be pretty heavy, after all. xD

Indeed, It would be a hell of a lot better of without us.

I like what my friend said when we were all talking about this... She said, 'It's like the world's way of saying, 'GET OFF!!!' ' lol!
Now she has us saying it all the time, lolz.
