The Effects of the Present El Nino

[Old Rocks]

And you might want to tell the people in the Mid-West that what they are seeing is nothing. Or tell the folks in Texas and the Carolina's that what they have seen is nothing important. And then there are the areas flooded in other nations in the world.

 

[westwall]

Mr. Westwall, the most likely time for California to feel the impacts of this El Nino is from mid-January to the end of March. So there is a good chance of getting a major rainfall in the next three months. An atmospheric river like that you mention? Probably a higher chance of that during an El Nino, but not a certainty by any means.

I agree, but your breathless "we are seeing some crazy weather" is ridiculous. The weather is no different from any that has come before and is in fact far less "crazy" than what you claim.

 

[westwall]

And you might want to tell the people in the Mid-West that what they are seeing is nothing. Or tell the folks in Texas and the Carolina's that what they have seen is nothing important. And then there are the areas flooded in other nations in the world.

It's not. In the overall scheme of things these storms are mild in comparison to what has happened in the not too distant past. Your emotional whining is merely an effort to garner some sort of support for your failed theory that AGW is dangerous. El Nino's ARE NATURAL! They happen ALL THE TIME.

Your hysterical bleating doesn't alter that fact.

I remember when Crick was challenging me on the El Nino that was coming. I said it would end the drought and bring rain to California and the South in General. In Texas, that drought has virtually ended. I didn't do a bunch of charts.................I simply stated it is HISTORY repeating itself.............as Mother Nature Adapts to the conditions of the earth.

It is a naturally occurring event and will bring floods and wet weather to some, and drought to others.

The GW crowd challenged me then for a little while.........but then reversed course going SEE.....IT'S GLOBAL WARMING........

Then they Cut and PASTE their asses off to the point of BOREDOM............................Looky here..........looky there...........Yet they have still not backed up their claims that it is MAN MADE................as prediction of Dire Consequences continues to fail time and time again.......................

But the money still flows.........the Green Money Making GW machine..........at the cost of Higher power bills for all.....while circumventing the Constitution via Executive actions from old laws...................They can't sell their BS, so they go through the back door........

In the mean time............flooding in California is a coming..............Feast or famine........Will they have the Pro-Active Gonads to build resevoirs or more DeSalination Plants???????? Adapt to the conditions.......or continue to Whine like a bunch of Liberal Whiners they are?

 

[Old Rocks]

Silly ass. Resevoirs where? Do you realize the costs of desalinization?

Yes, we do have to start adapting to the fact that we are running out of usable water in many places. And that we have to make laws concerning that water that apply to rich and poor alike.

In a time of Feast.........allow lakes to be formed to STORE WATER........oops.....can't do that....some fish might die.................

Riddle me this...........What is the cost of having NO WATER...............Your priorities are WHERE?

2015: A Year of Record-Breaking Extreme Weather
BY MADISON JOHNSON
July 22, 2015


The “State of the Climate,” released annually by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, found that 2014 was a record year for extreme weather: the "warmest year across global land and ocean surfaces since records began in 1880." In other words, it was the hottest year ever recorded on Earth. This year is shaping up to be no different, as 2015 has seen record-breaking heat, cold, precipitation, and drought. Here's a running list of this year's frightening new milestones.

January
Globally, January was the second warmest on record, and the sea ice cover in the Arctic was at its third smallest.

February
Boston endured 64.8 inches of snow, the snowiest month in the city's history. The last of the snow didn't melt until July.

March
New York and Vermont experienced record cold temperatures for the first three months of the year, beating records set almost a century ago.

April
California snowpack shrunk to record low levels, as a result of drought and warmer winter temperatures.

South Dakota had its driest January to April ever, reaching a mere 42 percent of its average precipitation for early spring.

May
Alaska had its warmest May on record.

Florida had its hottest March to May ever.

Tropical Storm Ana, when it made landfall in South Carolina, became the second-earliest tropical cyclone to hit the U.S. in recorded history.

Oklahoma and Texas had their wettest month of any month on record, with widespread flooding across the region.

June
Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio had their wettest June on record.

Pakistan suffered its deadliest heat wave ever, with the death toll topping 1,100. The heat index peaked at 121 degrees.

California, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington all had their hottest June ever.

So did the Earth.

In fact, the first six months combined were the hottest ever. Combined with the last six months of 2014, it was the hottest 12-year stretch in 136 years of record-keeping.

July
A heat wave brought record temperatures across Europe, as Germany hit an all-time high of 104.5 degrees.

Due to Tropical Storm Dolores, California received more rain over a single weekend than it did during the entire month of January, usually the state’s rainiest month.

2015: A Year of Record-Breaking Extreme Weather

And that was just to July.

All propaganda all the time! Nothing here was a "record" If you go back far enough you see that all of these things had happened before and worse. The "reporter" (propagandist) simply ignored the real facts so they can perpetuate the lie. And useful idiots like you lap it up.

Adil Najam

Dean, The Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University

Professor Najam has held various academic positions, including as former Vice-Chancellor of the Lahore Universtiy of Management Sciences (LUMS), Pakistan. In 2014, he was appointed Dean of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University. He is a Member of the Global Agenda Council on Climate Change.

Extreme weather events are a major consequence of climate change, and are becoming more frequent, powerful and erratic. What is needed is not just relief when disaster strikes, but adaptation to the massive effects these phenomena produce, including disease, political unrest and economic stress – issues explored elsewhere in this report. It’s obvious that adapting to – or ideally, preventing severe weather events – results in a better outcome for everyone.

Severe weather events have dominated headlines recently, causing immense devastation. Every continent has been affected, from one of the world’s strongest storms hitting the Philippines and the widest tornado ever seen in the United States, to extreme droughts gripping central Africa, Brazil and Australia and a series of massive floods in Pakistan

Yet more on the extreme weather events of last year.

Ah, more flap-yap from a loser. People worldwide chose to address the reality of the issue in Paris last month. Senile old dinosaurs like you have been relegated to a minor footnote in history.

Just another Cut and Paste attempt to say the Sky is Falling Again. Chicken Little's all of them.

They worry over the COST of Desalination plants, but then say nothing as they wipe out Coal and cause prices to rise all over the country via back door EPA Standards.........Then say they are the Champions of the poor as they make it harder for them to pay their bills due to increased Utility rates...............

Mississippi Power just raised rates again for those customers to a tune of 15% to pay for Carbon Sequestration Tech that is failing. No concern for that cost at all............The POOR are HELPED how with this tactic?

Extreme weather events linked to climate change, study says

Does global warming make extreme weather worse? When there's a catastrophic flood, tornado or hurricane, people want to know if a warming world has contributed to the disaster.

A paper out Monday says yes, weather events are becoming more severe due to man-made climate change. (The science of this topic is known as "attribution studies.")

"We have a new normal," said lead author Kevin Trenberth, a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo., and two fellow scientists. "The environment in which all weather events occur is not what is used to be: all storms, without exception, are different."

The burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. This extra CO2 has caused temperatures of the atmosphere and oceans to rise, allowed the atmosphere to hold more water vapor (which can add extra fuel to storms), and caused global sea levels to rise.

Trenberth's study was published as a "Perspectives" piece in Nature Climate Change, a peer-reviewed U.K. journal. It said that human influence on weather events such as Superstorm Sandy, Super Typhoon Haiyan, or the 2013 floods in Colorado tends to be "underestimated."

He said that Sandy's and Haiyan's strength were both intensified due to warm ocean water, and that the primary cause of the Colorado floods "probably would not have occurred without human-caused warming," Trenberth said.

OK, you don't like Dr. Trenberth. But the people in power worldwide are listening to him, and not you. Wonder why?

Great Flood of 1862 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Informative article. Thank you West Wall for Bringing that up about 1862.

Which was before the Industrialization of the 20th Century.

What caused this Old Rocks?........................Cow Farts????????

 

[eagle1462010]

H.R.2898 - 114th Congress (2015-2016): Western Water and American Food Security Act of 2015

This has passed the house.....

Part of this is to BUILD DAMS in California.............To STORE WATER..................OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Old Rocks]

and

 

[eagle1462010]

and

It was extreme weather back then without Industrialization...........

and................

 

[Crick]

Then do nothing.

Even if you believed AGW was real and posed a real threat to your children and theirs for generations to come, nothing was all you were ever going to do.

 

[eagle1462010]

Then do nothing.

Even if you believed AGW was real and posed a real threat to your children and theirs for generations to come, nothing was all you were ever going to do.

Sounds good to me......................

Your side has proved to be nothing but alarmist................

The same question is posed to you that old rocks hauled ass on.

 

[Old Rocks]

Silly ass, eagle, I did not haul ass on that question, I simply thought it simply to dumb to answer. Since when has anyone denied there were prior extremes? It is you silly asses that are denying that the increased frequency of extreme weather events.

LOL

And any event you yell THE SKY IS FALLING......................which was the point of bringing up the extreme weather before the industrial age.............................which you go...........
