More record temps

[Chris]

A heat alert continues Sunday as skyrocketing temperatures hit a record-breaking high in Toronto.

The daytime high reached a sweltering 34.6 C with a UV index of 10, or very high. The previous record for July 16 was set in 2002 at 34.4 C.

Sunday night will gradually become overcast, with a 40 per cent chance of rain and the chance of a thunderstorm before morning.

Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health first issued the alert Saturday morning.

The normal temperature for this time of year is 27 C, Environment Canada says.

Heat Wave In Central US Shows No Signs Of Ending
by The Associated Press

As temperatures climbed into the 90s Sunday in Steele, N.D., a small window air conditioner in Paul and Betty Smokov's ranch home just couldn't keep up.

"It's 82 in the house," Betty Smokov said. "The heat is really oppressive and sticky."

That observation could be made anywhere in the central U.S. Heat advisories and warnings were in place in 17 states, from Texas to Michigan, as temperatures and humidity combined to make being outside uncomfortable for millions. One National Weather Service forecaster called the heat wave "unrelenting" and said sweaty residents shouldn't expect any relief soon: A so-called "heat dome" over the region isn't moving much.

"The trend is not our friend right now," said Daryl Williams, a forecaster in Norman.

In Oklahoma City, forecasters expected another day of 100-degree heat Sunday, which would be the 27th day this year the city has reached 100 or above. The city is on pace to break its record for such days — 50 set in 1980 — with triple-digit heat possible through September.

It's even worse in western Oklahoma, where temperatures at 110 or above have been common in recent weeks. In Enid, asphalt at a major intersection along U.S. Highway 412 buckled Saturday night from the intense heat.

This is what I was talking about westwall a few months ago. The warmer the temperature=more moisture it can hold. So yes a warmer antarctic=more snow! It has to be 32 or below and no place outside of maybe the thin part that sticks out ever gets there. The core of Antarctica never gets above 10f. You could raise the avg temp of the core of that place 5c or maybe 10c and get growing glaciers, while the sides would be melting faster then the growing glacial pushing out of the core..


This is what is kind of going on within Greenland...If you believe in the grace data.

Its always hotter in some places............colder in some spots. Thats weather.........just depends on the year.

I was at the ocean this evening with my kids. Driving home, had to put up the windows. Reached 90 today but our evenings have been unusually cool by the account of many........and its mid-July already!! Nothing above 90 degrees yet..........highly odd.........not to mention that we literally froze our asses off in New York until mid-May following a winter nobody wants to remember. Meanwhile, Matthews balls are frozen and its mid summer in Oregon.

Weve had weird weather in the middle of the country all year due to the outgoing LaNina. Every weather man in existence has talked about it. The k00ks get hysterical every single time there is a heat wave someplace............and its been that way as long as I can remember. These people are like storm chasers who get a rise out of fcukked up weather but who dont have the balls to go out and chase storms. They do it from in front of their PC = not winniing.

 

[skookerasbil]

Just in case anybody missed this post of genius from the last page................






The more BS the k00ks pull, the more I double down. And we have the distinct advantage of knowing that they think that there is no correlation between the science and political/economic realities in 2011........some kind of right/left brain fcukk up.
Where it counts is over time on these threads.......think about it.

First off......these people will go in the box being true believers. There is zero alternative data that can ever be posted by anybody thats going to change that. You're talking about decades of damage in some of these cases. They despise capitalism. They hate their own country. They loath anybody who is successful. They implicitly trust the government. That is at the root of their thinkiing. The science is secondary. The whole green movement is about global redistribution of wealth leading to worldwide socialism.

But heres the thing..........all their science crap is becomming irrelevant due to economic realities. Their science becomes relevant only when the economy is strong and people arent worrying about their fiscal future. People can afford to be idealistic as they are much more open to public policy geared towards the environment. For most of the last decade, that worked. Now? The only people thinking it is a good idea to have the government spending big $$ on alternative energy is the MAYBE 10% of the country that has OCD about the environment. The politicians know that now......which is why nobody dare propose any kind of significant environmental legislation at all...........they'd get laughed out of the chamber. Sure there are a few representatiives who's consituency has a large % of radical k00ks and they throw up shit for show just to keep their seat........and the k00ks are happy as a pig in shit. Across the country as a whole.,.......its on nobodys radar. As a matter of fact, you are hearing far, far more talk about moving to cheaper more efficient ways of providing energy = fossil fuels. Just 3 years ago, the northeast started something called RGGI.........a carbon credit scam basd upon k00k alarmist hysteria........about 12 states involved from Maryland up to Maine. Back in early 2008, it looked like a shoe-in. In recent months, legislatures have been methodically giving it the heave-ho!!! NOBODY wants to see their electric rates double in this economy...........or any economy for that matter. Crap and Tax is permanently in the shit house. All around the country, you are starting to see articles in newspapers and magazines like this..................

http://www.salon.com/news/politics/war_room/2011/05/31/linbd_fossil_fuels

..........because the era of big government schemes is fast coming to an end because it is not at all affordable. Not even close. Even the UN is realizing this hysterical effort for the last 20 years is spinning its wheels.......and is going public. Last week's release of the
"76 trillion dollar to go green" memo is a shot across the bow. Most of the k00ks wont have been paying attention but it is highly significant. They know that now isnt the time..........at all. They know that, particularly in the US, the push will be for affordable energy, not energy sources based upon schemes that fleece the taxpayer. In this climate..........its a loser approach with 100% certainty fAiL. The UN also see's the political realities: the US House of Representatives will be staying GOP for a minimum of 6 years and most estimates put it closer to ten years and perhaps beyond. In other words..........the climate sucks for wealth redistribution idea's. ( no pun intended).


Its all good gslack bro...........why do you think I increasingly have a fcukking hoot in this forum? Its because all the stuff posted up by you, wire, Ian, Frank, Daveman et. al. = winning. ANd for people cheking iin on this forum to get a sense of the science will realize...............and ask themselves ( and IM talking random people who arent hyper-science heads)........"Hmmm............if the science was such a 'consensus', why is there no sense of urgency here like the alarmists promote?". These people will make the connection..........and thats all I give a rats ass about. To........over the course of a year.........have 3 or 4 people come in here and leave knowing this global warming stuff is and has always been a HUGE -ASS scam.


Its all good.............

Worst heatwave in years grips Midwest, moving east...

An oppressive and potentially deadly summertime mix of sizzling temperatures and high humidity baked a large swath of the country again on Sunday, pushing afternoon heat indexes in dozens of cities to dangerous levels.

Forecasters warned the heatwave would persist through much of the coming week and cautioned residents in more than three dozen states to take extra precautions.

The National Weather Service posted excessive heat warnings for much of the country's midsection, including Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, as well as South and North Dakota, where forecasters predicted heat indexes could hit 115 degrees.

"This will likely be the most significant heat wave the region has experienced in at least the last five years," the weather service said.

The k00ks want you to think this has never happened before.

 

[Old Rocks]

Hmmm........ Very hot summer for most of the US. In a year that started with a record La Nina. The Missouri and Mississippi flooded from the headwaters to the Gulf. Since May. And, unless we get more rain, until mid-September. With more rain, possibly into winter. Very bad tornado season. Very rapid Arctic Ocean melt, and the Antarctic is not doing the norm, into very negative numbers. But nothing the worry about, our local Kook assures us. Someday, he may decide to join us on this planet.

It does when he can claim it's caused by global warming.

Obviously, world socialism is the only thing that will save us.

Right, Roxy?

140 low temp? in summer? what happened to global warming? Do we need to leave our cars running at night to prevent a new Ice Age?

Oh noooeesssss!!!!!11!!!!! GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL!

It's 2 degrees above the average for today (although still 16 degrees below the record high).

(CNN) -- Much of middle America baked in a heat wave Sunday, with little respite in sight for Monday as temperatures and humidity are expected to make it feel warmer than 100 degrees Fahrenheit through much of this week.

Excessive heat warnings have been declared by the National Weather Service in at least 14 states, most of those in the upper Midwest. Excessive heat watches were in place in Indiana and Kentucky, with heat advisories (the least imminent of the three) in effect for four other states.

Several daily temperature records were broken Sunday -- from Alpena, Michigan, south to Miami, Florida.

"This is the hottest it's been for the longest period of time," said Emily McNamara from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where the temperatures were expected to hover in the mid-90s through the middle of the week.

Hey......what can I say? I guess Ive been conditioned via life experience not to get hysterical about everything thats out of the norm. I work in a field where life and death decisions have to be made every single day. Ive been at the death beds of dozens. Had people die in my arms after trying to revive them. I exist in a world where tragedy is part of every single day..........parents of disabled people who die of incomprehensible tragedies, curled up on the floor of the ER trauma room as the doctors pull the sheet over their sons head and Im sitting on the floor next to them.

Pardon me if I dont have a mental meltdown every time the thermometer goes up a few degrees.


When people exist in fields where tradedy is defined by a paper cut that requires first aid, of course weather and weather related events are going to make these types hysterical at the drop of a hat. Most people say, "meh".

And since I am part of what represents the majority in this country, I'll stick to my own planet thanks..........



This forum is loaded with a bunch of hyper-hysterical panty waistes, by the way.............

Europe heat wave sparks surge in grain prices
Monday, 18 July 2011
(excerpts)

Surging European grain prices following a scorching heat wave in recent weeks are likely to raise flour prices, and farmers are facing higher bills for animal feed, industry executives and analysts said. But some analysts say they doubt whether recent price rises are sustainable in view of large global grain stocks and the fact that overall grain supplies are currently still satisfactory.European grain prices have jumped around 25% in the past three weeks as hot weather and drought have hit crops just before harvesting in Western and Eastern Europe. "The heat wave has left a lot of fields looking more like Africa rather than European meadows," one grain trader said.

Heat wave causes health concerns in Japan
July 10, 2011
(excerpts)

TOKYO, July 10 (UPI) -- Japanese officials have warned residents not to cut back too much on the use of air conditioning, especially for older people and young children. Officials said the temperatures in Japan have risen higher than they have in decades amid a nationwide power-saving drive.

Nearly 7,000 people were hospitalized for heatstroke in June, more than three times the number from a year ago. Fifteen died after reaching the hospital.

Weather officials said June's heatwave sent temperatures in parts of Japan to their highest levels since 1961. Temperatures in downtown Tokyo reached 95 degrees on June 29 -- just the third time the temperature has exceeded 95 degrees in June since the Meteorological Agency began compiling comparable records in 1875.
