If they say hot air rises then why is it colder up north?

Figured I'd lock down thread of the year 2017 a little early this time.

Ahem.

FF, most of your threads are just dumb. This one is all eight flavors of awesome. 😀 Concise, purified F* Yeah!

Because all the moosen spin in the opposite direction up their, creating an updraft that cools via the Corollas affect. Duh.

I agree, its stupidz. North pole is tops. Should be like Bahamas.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

We're just looking at the world upside down. If we invert all the maps and globes then the south pole is on top and the north pole will be way at the bottom where it's warm.

The Bahamas would be screwed.

If it wants to be erect, it should be pointing towards Europe and Africa... Looks like it'll fit into the Mediterranean.

Of course they don't. If they did they wouldn't have to put their nose 1mm away from a pile that we can smell from 20'. What great sense of smell is that?

Actually its not colder up north. The south pole is colder than the north pole.

Ahh, the question that has vexed all the experts throughout the ages.

You got me. I was about to post an actual answer, till I clicked on the thread and read it.

The earth is flat, but not perfectly flat, over the years it has warped a bit, the centre and outer edge are a bit lower than the rest so all the heat escapes those areas and stays mostly in the centre ring.

 

[Meghan54]

Someone forgot to adjust the north's thermostat...again!

 

[BoomerD]

Because the north (and south) poles aren't actually "up."

Draw perfectly straight parallel lines top to bottom, touching the earth at the equator...see how much lower the poles are than the equator?

 

[Murloc]

the meese fart towards america because they are not nice canedians. This is why america is warmer.

Even that won't save the OP as the poster child for the short bus.

They 'say' hot air rises but they lie. If that were really true Trump would need a black hole to keep him earth bound.

This is the correct explanation.
wikipedia even has a page for "flat earth"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth

Yes, they do say the theory is "archaic", but, it's a very old fact that people have known for thouands of years. The word "archaic" probably used to mean "scientifically true" until it became archaic.
