I think you all are now seeing how crazy the weather is going these past 2 years in Lebanon (warm and dry winter, long sand storm...), weather that would never occur naturally!
What do you say?
MrClass
What about Global Warming as the cause of the insane weather? Makes more reason, no?

It's neither.... I blame the Lebanese people for destroying what was once green, and turning it into a swamp of garbage and a dome of pollution.

Exactly people should wake up from blaming everyone but themselves the actual people causing this chaos. You know what Lebanese people will think everyone is corrupt but themselves. The city stinks the governments stinks the weather stinks why do u think ?

I was the 1st to point out that the loss of forest is doing a negative thing on our weather and promoted that we plant trees as much as we can but a sand storm so strong that it even reached Cyprus can't be stopped by our trees, it's a huge regional (from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon passing by Irak and Syria) weather catastrophy that only occurs once every 1000 years, but when you add to that the catastrophic winter we lived in 2013-2014 that only occurs every 150 years and strange khamsins that come in the middle of January and February, it's not just a coincidence.
HAARP and SURA are a reality and mad scientists + stubborn armies always resulted with horrible scenarios, the biggest example is Hiroshima nuclear bombing

Weather is messed up on the entire planet, not just in our region. Last week it was 8 degrees in Paris, today it's 18. We should really look at the root of the problem which is the excessive pollution in our country. It's making things even worse. So basically, in my opinion, the human in general is to blame for the current weather situation worldwide.

Terminators decided we are the problem of Earth and they are not wrong

I think it's just climate change; although saying it's "just" climate change might imply that it isn't a big problem as some of the fossil-fuel industry-funded scientists and politicians will have you believe. It is a big problem and it's increasingly getting out of control. A lot of the damage has probably already been done and the future will definitely not be the same.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like the damage is going to slow down fast enough, although I admire the efforts of people like Obama.

Speaking of mass pollution, China is n1 now with all their factories.
Beijing is perhaps the most polluted capital city in the world.
In Lebanon it's mainly the trucks that are still running on very dirty mazout that are polluting our oxygen, they should do laws for using filters on these trucks or use European Diesel instead of middle age mazout

I don't know if you noticed it but all this Fall season none of the weather channels (accuweather,Foreca,Bug...) even GFS are giving an accurate weather for Lebanon even 24h before. I remember couple of years ago they never missed a storm or sunny weather even a week before.
Why is Lebanese weather so hard to know this year?
Are we one of the rare countries to be hit so hard by global warming that it's making our weather totally unstable?
Why is the North East Anticyclonic system not pushing warm weather away from our country like it used to?
Giving the fact that our region is having crazy wars, could American HAARP and Russian SURA be used as weapons?
For the 1st time in modern History we are still seeing hundreds of cistern trucks in Achrafieh, why is this particular region without water?

Woah, slow down. You went from complaining about accuracy in weather apps to wondering if Russia and the US are going to use climate weapons against us.
Remember that even the Lebanese weather channels get so many things wrong. How many times did they warn us that a storm was coming, only for us to see a little rain? The weather reports here have never been completely accurate as far as I can remember.
Also, about the lack of water, this is because of climate change, yes. The winters over the last ten years have been particularly poor and we are starting to feel the effects.
vegetaleb
Well if haarp and/or sura are used it explains why logical weather forecast rarely work for our country ;)
About water supply in Achrafieh I can agree about 2 years ago when we had the worst winter ever, but last year and this Fall were kinda normal with good amounts of rain. We still need another snow storm so this Fall 2015 season is 100% normal. We have 10 days to go.

Ohhh, somebody other than me believe in HAARP and SURA, thanks god.
did you watch the documentary about HAARP on Discovery channel ??
vegetaleb
Nope! When are they showing it?
rolf
So Lebanon is so special that it is being targeted by imaginary American and Russian "climate weapons" to create localized global warming for an unknown reason.
vegetaleb
Nop I was talking about about our region's wars where all countries included US and Russia are participating, if these climate controls were imaginary how come they actually exist with photos to prove them?

Well since you're asking, because they exist in your imagination and what exactly do the photos prove about climate control?
vegetaleb
Well do you have a scientific theory about the deterioration of our winters?
We lived things never encountered before in these past 4 years. A khamsiné that last a whole week, a winter where it rained only 3 times, 30c in the middle of January or February...
I am not saying I am sure it's haarp but really strange and crazy weather activities are happening.
The fact that weather channels used to give accurate weather 5 to 7 days before time and now even 24h before they are giving completly different forecast. Something weird is going on
Elied
Well the thing is these weather channels give "Forecasts" meaning they try to guess as accurately as they can how the weather will be. Actually respectable weather channels give you the confidence interval of each forecast they make.
Now I'm not saying this is a definite explanation to what is happening but a plausible explanation which is that they've been having bad luck with their guesses if you want to put it in extremely simple terms.
