More record temps

[gslack]

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.

Weren't you the guy who said that weather in USA does not count as Global because it was a local event?

Who said it's not global?

Woman dies, ambassador collapses as heat wave hits eastern Europe
July 14, 2011
(excerpts)

BANJA LUKA, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — A heat wave in Eastern Europe caused its first fatality on Thursday when a woman who had sought treatment at a hospital in Bosnia collapsed in its emergency room, a doctor said.

In Romania, France's ambassador fainted while giving a speech at his embassy.

In Bosnia, temperatures soared as high as 45 degrees Celsius (113 Fahrenheit), causing asphalt to begin melting in the southern city of Mostar.

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.

A heat wave is sweeping the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in Northwest China as the local temperature is to peak above 37 degrees Celsius from Tuesday to Wednesday, with some places recording 40 degrees Celsius, according to the regional meteorological observatory.

The observatory issued an orange heat warning at 07:00 on Tuesday morning about the summer heat. Temperatures in some basin areas would be higher than 45 degrees Celsius.

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.

That's actually quite a remarkable list.

Our climate is changing rapidly, and there are some powerful feedbacks that will kick in such as the melting ice cap and melting permafrost as time goes on.

All this with the Sun at its lowest level of activity in 80 years.

cry me a freaking river, I live in the High desert of Colorado, when I was a kid 50 years ago the summer got so hot you could fry an egg on the hood of a car, July and august were notorious for 105 to 110 degrees.. and guess what.. it still gets the same temperature today as it did 50 years ago.. this is nothing more than fearmongering to separate you from your dollar. you cannot and will not ever control the weather or the climate on a planet, all you can do is throw money at it and fail

Cold out here on the west coast.

Cold some places, hot some places.

Yawwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[ScienceRocks]

To love and patrick

Caused by a death ridge over the midwest at 500 millibars. On each side of a ridge there is normally a "trough" a trough is a dip within the jet stream with the cooler air to the north of the jet stream...So imagine the midwest is within a intense ridge with record hot and dry weather, but the west coast is within the cold and rainy crap. One of the coldest for Portland in the past 70 years so far. Lets think about the ridge as divergence at the surface, which pretty much means the air is moving inwards at the upper levels 200-300 millibars, but moving outwards as it moves to 500 to 1013 millibars. What this does is increase the pressure of the column of air and that rises the pressure. This also does the opposite of the air within a area of low pressure. Air within the northern side of the jet stream normally favors low pressure area's and is cooler as said above. Low pressure moves inward and warm moist air raises into the Atmosphere and cools towards its dew point--->this is what we call condensation once it cools to that. Clouds and rainy weather. The air raising from the surface to the 25-40 thousand feet is why a low pressure is called a low pressure, and is why it lowers the pressure as the column of air is now pressing down less pressure onto the surface.

A low pressure of 992 millibars is causing 9,920 bars of pressure on the surface, but a high could cause 1020 millibars or 10,200 bars onto that surface. In yes that is a difference of air pressure pressing onto the surface.

Not really so much climate when you think about the day to day, but imagine for a second that the above avg area's are above normal, but cover a larger area of the earth and of course your going to get below normal area's at the same time---the earth is not uniform my friends...It really is how you avg it out is how you get a idea of what changes a change climate may of had. Europe and the east coast last winter was very cold, but the arctic was 10-15c warmer then normal at the same time. Much of northern russia to was warmer if I remember...

Lets look at this in another way...

You have 10,526,000 sq miles of .5c above normal
You have 6,546,456 sq miles at -.5c above normal
Yes this is very simple, but lets say for a second that those two made up the surface area of the earth...You would have a above normal global avg!

Portland can be colder, but a larger percentage of the United states has been above normal so far this summer season---In I agree it is one of the coldest summers I've seen.

...
When you increase the "heat" you also increase the cold anomalies, but the heat or above avg is larger in scale then the cold anomalies. Weather being that the jet stream and weather systems will still spin around our globe, but the droughts and rainfalls will increase.

That might go over your heads being that you might think, wow shit, if you have more rainfall shouldn't there be NO droughts? But remember the patterns of the jet stream and ridges and troughs will remain(weather) and occur. You will get ridges of high pressure that sit for months on end with that hotter drier air. Doing what you see in Texas and of course you will have on the sides area's of unseasonable cold and rainy weather.

The air will be able to hold more moisture as you increase the temperature too. One case in point is the difference between Antarctica being only a fraction .1grams/volume of air for a dew point(constate) at maybe -30c to a area like Portland that is around 50f that holds like 4-5grams/volume of air for the same. So more extreme rains when and where your not dealing with a super ridge of high pressure!

Yesterday was the first hot day in New York this YEAR. WTF.....its almost August??!!

Its like I said above.......some people's baseline for hysteria is real low. WHo can explain it? I have a brother in-law who freaks out at the mere sight of a spider...........guy practices martial arts every day yet runs for the hills in the presence of an anachra = damage. We all know mothers of small children who get mental about thier kids environment and dive across the table if a kid starts coughing when eating = damage. The people in the store buying two weeks worth of food when an Alberta Clipper snowstorm hits the weather maps = damage.

Its the same thing with these people who get over the top every time there is a weather anomoly, anomolies which have been happening for billions of years, by the way. Perhaps seeing the Wizard of Oz at a young age left them traumatized..........the tornado lifting the house into the air? A dropped ice cream cone as a kid melting quickly on the asphalt in the summer heat? Watching a parent freak out at a young age due to a thunder boom? Thats how shit like this happens...........a conditioned response of hysteria to events that to most people are everyday occurrences. There is some damage there folks..........

These people are environmental extremists. Many of the things advocated by environmental extremists, for example, are things that most of us might think of as good things. But, in politics, they become good ghings whose repercussions and costs are brushed aside as unworthy considerations. Nobody wants to breathe dirty air or drink dirty water, however, if either becomes 98 percent pure, 99 percent pure or 99.9 percent pure, there is some point beyond which the costs skyrocket and the benefits become meager or non-existent. If the slightest trace of any impurity were fatal, the human race would have become extinct thousands of years ago. Not only does the body have defenses to neutralize small amounts of some impurities, some things that are dangerous, or even fatal, in substantial amounts can become harmless or even beneficial in extremely minute amounts, arsenic being one example. As an old adage put it: "It is the dose that makes the poison.". Obviously, removing arsenic from our drinking water should obviously be a very high priority -- but not after we have gotten it down to some extremely minute trace. There is never going to be 100 percent clean water or air and, the closer we get to that, the more costly it is to remove extremely minute traces of anything. But none of this matters to those who see ever higher standards of "clean water" or "clean air" as a good thing = damage.

The perception of the environment as assessed by these k00ks is simply over the top........and funny.........even if what they advocate as AGW truth could be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt, the thought that our race could actually do something about it and have any significant impact given socio-economic realities speaks even more to significant damage.

Anyway........perhaps most concerning is this insistence of the environmental radicals to continue with this alarmist strategy which is crashing and burning right before their eyes...........and their response is to go from alarmist to hyper-alarmist to armagheddon bomb-thrower alarmist. YIKES..........

If the world wasn't undergoing rapid forced climate changes, the ratio of record hot days to record cold days would naturally tend to be about 1:1. Because the world is experiencing abrupt anthropogenic warming, the ratio of record hot days to record cold days has been growing in recent years to two or even three times as many record hot days as record cold days. This last June was exceptional and demonstrates just how skewed our climate patterns are getting.

June Record High Temperatures Beat Record Lows 11-to-1 in US
07. 8. 11
(excerpts)

According to new data from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center, there were 2706 new record high temperatures set in June versus 251 new record low temperatures.

That's a ratio of nearly 11:1, when the expected ratio over time should be about 1:1. On a yearly basis over the past decade the ratio has been about 2:1, with data showing that part of the issue is that nights aren't cooling as much as they used to.

From the 1950s to 1980s the ratio fluctuated between being slightly above and slightly below 1:1, but since the 80s it began increasing. Under a business-as-usual climate change scenario, we could hit 20:1 record highs to record lows by 2050 and even 50:1 by 2100. Should we successfully reduce emissions enough, by 2050 we may be able to constrain that ratio to 8:1.

In addition to those 2706 daily high temperature records, June say 63 all-June temperature records and 17 yearly high temperature records.

Record high temperatures far outpace record lows across U.S.

November 12, 2009
(excerpts)

BOULDER—Spurred by a warming climate, daily record high temperatures occurred twice as often as record lows over the last decade across the continental United States, new research shows. The ratio of record highs to lows is likely to increase dramatically in coming decades if emissions of greenhouse gases continue to climb. If temperatures were not warming, the number of record daily highs and lows being set each year would be approximately even. Instead, for the period from January 1, 2000, to September 30, 2009, the continental United States set 291,237 record highs and 142,420 record lows, as the country experienced unusually mild winter weather and intense summer heat waves.

This graphic shows the ratio of record daily highs to record daily lows observed at about 1,800
weather stations in the 48 contiguous United States from January 1950 through September 2009.
Each bar shows the proportion of record highs (red) to record lows (blue) for each decade.
The 1960s and 1970s saw slightly more record daily lows than highs, but in the last 30 years record
highs have increasingly predominated, with the ratio now about two-to-one for the 48 states as a whole.

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.

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..........

During the last 50 years, Colorado has experienced rising temperatures, increased precipitation, and altered surface water flow as a result of climate change. The state
on the whole has warmed faster than the U.S. average,with more dramatic temperature increases seen at higher altitudes. Lower altitudes, including the state’s eastern
plains, also are seeing higher temperatures.1,2,3 Theaverage annual temperature at Fort Collins, located at 5,000 feet, has increased by 4.1º F, while the temperature in the Arkansas River Valley—located at a much lowerelevation—has increased by only 0.5º F.4, 5 As climatechange continues during the next 100 years, Colorado is
likely to see higher temperatures and more precipitation in some regions, while water resources are likely to become less secure.6,7 At the highest elevations, winter and summer temperatures may increase by 5º F to 6º F, while spring and fall temperatures could increase by 3º F to 4º F.

OH NO!!!!! Scary colored graphs!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

yes, there were more record highs than in the previous 6 decades.. AND? Wait whats that?
The 60's and 70's were a lot lower.... Hmm hows that work if its been warming since the Industrial Revolution? Matter of fact those decades had a lot less record temps.... Hmmm 20 years with basically no warming right smack in the middle of the AGW monster?

Wait I said 20 years of no warming, and thats not right is it... I mean just because its not a record doesn't mean its not warming right?? Yeah thats right and just like that more record temps doesn't necessarily translate to warming either does it... Yeah tool ya just showed why I think you are an idiot who has no concept of any of this in any kind of realistic fashion. You cite studies and post what you see with no thought or anything. They say AGW and you say "why of course", like a good little drone.. LOL I feel sorry for anyone who can't think..

Yes post those studies until all doubt is erased... LOL

Once again you prove my point. You can't think at all for yourself can you...

 

[Old Rocks]

Your point is that you have no studies that back up your idiocy. Because the climate is warming rapidly due to the burning of fossil fuels.

Yes, I can post my personal observations of retreating glaciers in the Cascades and Rockies. But they are not scientific studies. So I post the studies done in that area by trained scientists.

NWMJ Issue 4 - Vanishing Glaciers

The Future
These observations make clear that retreat of North Cascade glaciers is rapid and ubiquitous. All 47 glaciers monitored by our project are currently undergoing a significant retreat or have disappeared altogether. Ongoing temperature rises combined with a reduction in snow accumulation in the North Cascades have resulted in widespread disequilibrium. Even the wet winter of 2007 yielded barely above-average snowpack in the mountains as more of that precipitation fell as rain.

The net loss over the last 20 years is a significant portion of the total glacier volume, estimated at 18 to 32 percent. Sadly, prevailing conditions provide little evidence that North Cascade glaciers are close to equilibrium. Their ongoing thinning indicates that all of the glaciers will continue to retreat into the foreseeable future.

Your point is that you have no studies that back up your idiocy. Because the climate is warming rapidly due to the burning of fossil fuels.

Yes, I can post my personal observations of retreating glaciers in the Cascades and Rockies. But they are not scientific studies. So I post the studies done in that area by trained scientists.

NWMJ Issue 4 - Vanishing Glaciers

The Future
These observations make clear that retreat of North Cascade glaciers is rapid and ubiquitous. All 47 glaciers monitored by our project are currently undergoing a significant retreat or have disappeared altogether. Ongoing temperature rises combined with a reduction in snow accumulation in the North Cascades have resulted in widespread disequilibrium. Even the wet winter of 2007 yielded barely above-average snowpack in the mountains as more of that precipitation fell as rain.

The net loss over the last 20 years is a significant portion of the total glacier volume, estimated at 18 to 32 percent. Sadly, prevailing conditions provide little evidence that North Cascade glaciers are close to equilibrium. Their ongoing thinning indicates that all of the glaciers will continue to retreat into the foreseeable future.

I'm sorry all I read was "Doom, Gloom, Despair," and got scared...

cry me a freaking river, I live in the High desert of Colorado, when I was a kid 50 years ago the summer got so hot you could fry an egg on the hood of a car, July and august were notorious for 105 to 110 degrees.. and guess what.. it still gets the same temperature today as it did 50 years ago.. this is nothing more than fearmongering to separate you from your dollar. you cannot and will not ever control the weather or the climate on a planet, all you can do is throw money at it and fail

Really trying to demonstrate what an idiot you trully are.

During the last 50 years, Colorado has experienced rising temperatures, increased precipitation, and altered surface water flow as a result of climate change. The state
on the whole has warmed faster than the U.S. average,with more dramatic temperature increases seen at higher altitudes. Lower altitudes, including the state’s eastern
plains, also are seeing higher temperatures.1,2,3 Theaverage annual temperature at Fort Collins, located at 5,000 feet, has increased by 4.1º F, while the temperature in the Arkansas River Valley—located at a much lowerelevation—has increased by only 0.5º F.4, 5 As climatechange continues during the next 100 years, Colorado is
likely to see higher temperatures and more precipitation in some regions, while water resources are likely to become less secure.6,7 At the highest elevations, winter and summer temperatures may increase by 5º F to 6º F, while spring and fall temperatures could increase by 3º F to 4º F.

look pecker breath.

I live in the Arkansas valley and have for over 50 years.. and as your little article states the temp here has only fluctuated by .5 of a degree.. now if you would care to talk to me without calling me an idiot I won't call you pecker breath.. deal?
