Global warming in action....right before our eyes

[RollingThunder]

As a result of human caused global warming, the atmospheric and the oceans (and lakes, rivers and streams) are warmer.....warmer air can hold more water vapor......warmer oceans and other bodies of water tend to evaporate more water faster.....and now, water vapor levels have increased so much, rain and snowstorms can drop much larger quantities of water than before the air warmed and water vapor levels increased.

Although the denier cultists will undoubtedly chant that there have always been heavy rain and floods and massive blizzards, the plain fact is that all of those are becoming more intense and destructive because of the greater amount of water held in the air......which results in this example of global warming driven climate disruptions in action:
"...the torrential flooding after as much as 8-10 inches of rain fell in six to eight hours in parts of the state on Thursday", according to the National Weather Service. This amount of rain in such a short time is likely a "one-in-a-thousand-year event," the weather service said.

At least 26 dead as historic floods sweep West Virginia
USA TODAY

(excerpts)
The bodies of three more victims of West Virginia's historic flooding were found overnight Saturday, according to county authorities, raising the death toll to 26 from torrential rains and high water that has destroyed more than 100 homes, washed out scores of roads and bridges and knocked out power to tens of thousands of people. On Saturday, President Obama declared a major disaster for West Virginia and ordered federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the counties of Greenbrier, Kanawha and Nicholas.

...At least 23 others, including an 8-year-old boy who was wading in a foot of water, were killed in the torrential flooding after as much as 8-10 inches of rain fell in six to eight hours in parts of the state on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. This amount of rain in such a short time is likely a "one-in-a-thousand-year event," the weather service said. The heavy rains and rising water swamped towns, inundated a two-century old resort and trapped 500 people in a shopping center when a bridge was washed out. The storm also knocked out power to 66,000 West Virginians, and forced the shut off of gas in the town of White Sulphur Springs, Tomblin said.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin told reporters Friday that damage is widespread and devastating. Saying search and rescue missions are still a top priority, Tomblin issued a state of emergency for 44 counties and deployed 150 members of the National Guard to help emergency responders. The Governer said 60 roads were closed, many of them destroyed, bridges were knocked out, and homes were burned down and washed off foundations. Tens of thousands of people were without power, and several roads were impassable, the Associated Press reported. One dramatic video posted on the WVMetro news website showed a burning house floating down Howard's Creek in White Sulphur Springs.

Can you pick a story and stick with it?

We never had floods before gullible warming

Heavy Flooding and Global Warming: Is There a Connection?
Union of Concerned Scientists
Climate change increases the probability of some types of weather. Recent heavy rains and flooding in the Northeast, Midwest, and Great Plains are consistent with a warming planet, and such events are expected to become more common over time.

As average temperatures in regions across the country have gone up, more rain has fallen during the heaviest downpours. Very heavy precipitation events, defined as the heaviest one percent, now drop 67 percent more precipitation in the Northeast, 31 percent more in the Midwest and 15 percent more in the Great Plains, including the Dakotas, than they did 50 years ago.

This happens because warmer air holds more moisture. This fact is apparent when you see water vapor hanging in the air after turning off a hot shower. When warm air holding moisture meets cooler air, the moisture condenses into tiny droplets that float in the air. If the drops get bigger and become heavy enough, they fall as precipitation.

If the emissions that cause global warming continue unabated, scientists expect the amount of rainfall during the heaviest precipitation events across country to increase more than 40 percent by the end of the century. Even if we dramatically curbed emissions, these downpours will still increase, but by only a little more than 20 percent. Regardless of what action we take to cut emissions, municipalities that are vulnerable to heavy precipitation events should plan for more flooding. Any efforts to reduce emissions would make it easier for them to adapt.

Climate science contrarians often argue that it is impossible for global warming to cause both heavy precipitation and drought. They are either misinformed or purposefully confusing the issue. Drought is a measure of annual precipitation, not the intensity of precipitation events.

As a consequence of global warming, annual precipitation levels have increased in many parts of the country and decreased in others. Between 1958 and 2007, for example, the Southeast and Southwest experienced more drought even while overall precipitation across the country increased an average of five percent. These precipitation changes, along with temperature shifts, threaten agriculture and have contributed to the northerly movement of plant hardiness zones.

It is worth noting that last months blizzard in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast also is consistent with global warming. That heavy precipitation event just happened to occur in winter rather than spring, bringing snow rather than rain. Global warming will likely make the winter season shorter and colder weather less common, but winter will not disappear altogether.

Global warming also is causing measurable season creep worldwide. Spring weather is arriving earlier and fall weather is arriving later than ever before. If temperatures were a bit colder in the Northeast or Midwest, those regions would have been contending with a massive snowfall instead of heavy rains.

Why haven't the global warming fires dried up the floods

 

[Uncensored2008]

Fucking cultists, cold is caused by warming, floods are caused by warming, drought by warming. Declining ocean levels by warming, increasing ocean levels by warming.

And of course, the heartbreak of psoriasis is caused by global warming.

Shit, if only the AGW clowns were as rational as the Scientologists or Jehovas Witnesses.....

Geo-engineering via the use of aerosol nano-particulate metals used in conjunction with ionospheric heaters with the weird weather anomalies is the cause. They have been able to manipulate weather fronts in earnest for at least the last 25 years but they have been working on managing the weather since the late 40's. If we had an over abundance of c02, trees would not be dying at an alarming rate, we would have more rain not less. California is being intentionally droughted out so Monsanto can come in and buy up the farmland on the cheap. The aluminum corruption of the soil is killing organic farmers as one of the particulates being sprayed is aluminum. Guess what? Monsanto has hybrid seeds that are drought and aluminum resistant! What are the odds??? Hmmmm? Soil and water samples do not lie because they show an extremely unhealthy level of aluminum, barium and strontium. Until you figure in the aerosol spraying that began in earnest in every NATO country since 1997? I don't wnt to hear diddly squat about the alleged "Co2 problem. It is simply being used as a front to manipulate the dumbed down masses into believing that it's THEIR carbon footprint causing this. You might say that I am expert when it comes to this particular issue and especially when it comes to ionospheric heaters and the chemtrailing.

[ScienceRocks]

Why haven't the global warming fires dried up the floods

Listen,

Global warming causes extremes within the short term weather pattern. One area of our planet could during a period of time have stronger ridges of high pressure = more extreme droughts under them, while other areas will have the extreme rain. Learn the subject as you don't seem to understand it very well at all. There's a reason one area has droughts but another can be have record rainfall, and both can happen at the same time on our planet based on the meteorological setup.

Increased record-breaking precipitation events under global warming
Climatic Change - Volume 132, Issue 4, pp 501-515
Jascha Lehmann, Dim Coumou, Katja Frieler
October 2015

Abstract
In the last decade record-breaking rainfall events have occurred in many places around the world causing severe impacts to human society and the environment including agricultural losses and floodings. There is now medium confidence that human-induced greenhouse gases have contributed to changes in heavy precipitation events at the global scale. Here, we present the first analysis of record-breaking daily rainfall events using observational data. We show that over the last three decades the number of record-breaking events has significantly increased in the global mean. Globally, this increase has led to 12 % more record-breaking rainfall events over 1981–2010 compared to those expected in stationary time series. The number of record-breaking rainfall events peaked in 2010 with an estimated 26 % chance that a new rainfall record is due to long-term climate change. This increase in record-breaking rainfall is explained by a statistical model which accounts for the warming of air and associated increasing water holding capacity only. Our results suggest that whilst the number of rainfall record-breaking events can be related to natural multi-decadal variability over the period from 1901 to 1980, observed record-breaking rainfall events significantly increased afterwards consistent with rising temperatures.

I have poop in my pants!! Globull Warming!
Doubt Globull Warming?? You're a racist!!!

Meanwhile whenever I drive my truck the big V-8 engine is running and burning shitloads of "carbon" fuels. When I fly my Cessna 182 (just for fun!) I burn shitloads of "carbon" fuel so I can buy a hamburger that I could make at home. The best part? you enviro-nazi's can't do a fucking thing about it!
