WSJ: The World Bakes Under Extreme Heat

[Crick]

So you're saying that it got extremely hot 100,000 years ago and the earth & mankind survived?

I didn't say that. Obviously we have survived and no one has suggested that the Earth might not survive (whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean). I believe this graph is relatively accurate. This is plotted against the global temp in the year 2000. We are currently up a little more than 0.4C since 2000, so this graph indicates that every glacial peak in at least the last 400,000 years has exceeded current temps. Although they look sudden and brief here, those peaks were hit and receded at a pace at least 7-10 times as slowly as temperatures are changing now. As this forum has heard on numerous occasions (but apparently failed to learn) it is not the absolute temperature but the rate of change that matters for life on our shiny little orb.

CO2 vs Temperature: Last 400,000 years

Are you able to name the individuals who were tracking the temps 400,000 years ago? Or is the graph a complete figment of someone's imagination?

Idiots: Note how the "trend" was basically to peak then keep going down? Oh, never mind. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Pollution sure but CO2 isn't pollution. And how do you know the UHI effect isn't a bigger problem. Their models literally amplify the GHG effect of CO2 by a factor of 2 to 3. If you ignored their model magic and just looked at the radiative forcing effect of CO2, how do you know that is worse than the UHI effect? Concrete retains a shit load of heat. How much of the planet can man urbanize before he has a problem? Do you know?

Jump in a small plane and fly over your region. You'll quickly see that urban areas are infinitesimally small compared to the farm, forest, and other undeveloped areas. Or just use Google Earth. Cultivated farmland in the big culprit.

Yep, large scale farming is also the key to modern society.

Here's a bunch of climate activists enjoying FOOD while complaining about food production (I assume). When they're finished, they'll get back on their jets and fly home and figure out ways to translate what they learned into higher taxes for us filthy "food" eaters.

You assume? That seems a bit ad hoc. For all you know, they could be talking about how to deal with your unending flatulence

""Roads, bridges and train tracks built to the design standards of the 20th century are buckling from extreme heat gripping the globe. Power grids, buildings and cooling systems are under strain.

Design standards have failed to keep up with a warming climate, say engineering and construction experts who are pushing their clients to invest in solutions to make existing buildings cooler while factoring in the cost of future heat waves.
“The U.S. isn’t prepared for what we’ve had so far, let alone more of it,” said Adam Jaffe, senior materials engineer at Arup, a global design and architecture firm, about extreme heat.

Throughout July, Record-setting temperatures have Broiled the southern half of the U.S., southern Europe, central China and eastern Asia. The heat has caused scattered power outages in several countries and buckled roads in Utah, Louisiana and Wisconsin, according to local news reports. In Texas, a section of Interstate 10 in Houston and a six-lane state highway south of the city ruptured during 100-plus-degree heat in late June.

Updated May 8, 2019
1 minute read

These are the ten hottest weather temperature days in the history of the city of Phoenix, Arizona, dating back to 1895. The all-time record hottest temperature ever recorded in Phoenix is 122 degrees, which occurred on June 26, 1990.
As anyone who has ever traveled to, or lived in, the city of Phoenix knows, it can get pretty hot there. One hundred degree days are not rare in Phoenix. On average, the city experiences 92 days of 100 or more degree weather days per year. The longest stretch of continuous 100 degree days is 76, which occurred from the 10th of June through the 24th of August in 1993.
The greatest number of 100 degree days in a year in Phoenix history is 143, which occurred in 1989. The fewest number of 100 degree days in a year is 48, which occurred in 1913. For comparison purposes, the city of New York has only had 59 total 100 degree weather temperature days dating back to 1870.
The earliest 100 degree weather day in Phoenix occurred on March 26, 1988. The latest 100 degree weather date occurred on October 23, 2003. Every single date from April 25 to October 23 has had at least one 100 degree weather date recorded on it since 1895.
The all-time hottest temperature ever recorded in the state of Arizona is 128 degrees, which occurred in Lake Havasu on June 29, 1994, and also occurred on July 5, 2007.

CBS Sunday Morning yesterday interviewed a dude in the desert in AZ who had no electricity and no air conditioning asking him how he survives the extreme heat in his hoarder house!!!! Main stream media yelling extreme heat in the desert. The desert!!!!!!!! hhaahahahahahahahaha, and all you demfks in here screaming with them. Deserts, and information that is inaccurate as I just posted !!!!!!!!

So even 400,000 years ago when it was super hot, the ice cores survived the calamity and all calamities since. Good to know that we have nothing to worry about.

the fact both Phoenix and Dallas have had hotter summers, is just more evidence of the fraud.

The hottest day in AZ was 128 degree F.

Hottest temperature in Arizona history occurred 22 years ago today

Highest temperature ever recorded in Phoenix is 122 degrees, but that is still much cooler compared to the warmest temperature ever record in Phoenix.

www.12news.com

The hottest temperature ever recorded in the state of Arizona occurred on this day back in 1994. It happened in the afternoon hours in Lake Havasu City when the temperature spiked to a truly scorching 128 degrees.

the fact both Phoenix and Dallas have had hotter summers, is just more evidence of the fraud.

And the fact that southern Utah had record snow last winter and that we just had a very cool spell last week means nothing either, apparently. Those facts should be swept under the proverbial rug.

Does more snow in winter men it's not getting warmer?
Or could it mean you have the same or even slightly higher temp with more water vapor in the air due to warmer temps?

More statistically sensible intelligent:
What percent of days in S Utah were above average temp?
What percent of the planet is S Utah?

**** your illogical backyard/city/local WEATHER.
We are talking GLOBAL averages.

You do realize that modern society sucks.

Modern society, backward ag practices.
Those 'steaming mountains' are feedlot manure piles going to waste, polluting the ground water and releasing CO2 and methane into the atmosphere.
