When it comes to snow, what does the temperature have to be to have it fall?either way, the temperature is above the freezing mark, yet this is going to be the worst winter storm of the season...Now just imagine if the world actually was warming up 1.5 degrees C. That would mean if the outside temperature was 32 degrees F., with a 0.8 degree C. increase or 33.444 degrees F. more, it would be 66 degrees and no snow,Just as a side note... This just in..."An IPCC special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5C above pe-industrial levels and related greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development and efforts to eradicate poverty."
The IPCC has released a report during the workup towards AR6 with inputs from all three Working Groups and including a Summary for Policy Makers (SPM). I aim this thread at those who consistently express concern about the cost of measures to reduce GHG emissions and those who minimize the magnitude of the the threat.
The full report may be viewed at Global Warming of 1.5 ºC —
Below are the opening bullets to the SPM
Understanding Global Warming of 1.5°C4
A.1 Human activities are estimated to have caused approximately 1.0°C of global warming5 above pre-industrial levels, with a likely range of 0.8°C to 1.2°C. Global warming is likely to reach 1.5°C between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the current rate. (high confidence) (Figure SPM.1) {1.2}
A.1.1 Reflecting the long-term warming trend since pre-industrial times, observed global mean surface temperature (GMST) for the decade 2006–2015 was 0.87°C (likely between 0.75°C and 0.99°C)6 higher than the average over the 1850–1900 period (very high confidence). Estimated anthropogenic global warming matches the level of observed warming to within ±20% (likely range). Estimated anthropogenic global warming is currently increasing at 0.2°C (likely between 0.1°C and 0.3°C) per decade due to past and ongoing emissions (high confidence). {1.2.1, Table 1.1, 1.2.4}
A.1.2 Warming greater than the global annual average is being experienced in many land regions and seasons, including two to three times higher in the Arctic. Warming is generally higher over land than over the ocean. (high confidence) {1.2.1, 1.2.2, Figure 1.1, Figure 1.3, 3.3.1, 3.3.2}
A.1.3 Trends in intensity and frequency of some climate and weather extremes have been detected over time spans during which about 0.5°C of global warming occurred (medium confidence). This assessment is based on several lines of evidence, including attribution studies for changes in extremes since 1950. {3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3}
Airlines Issue Weather Waivers for 74 Airports Ahead of Massive BlizzardNow just imagine if the world actually was warming up 1.5 degrees C. That would mean if the outside temperature was 32 degrees F., with a 0.8 degree C. increase or 33.444 degrees F. more, it would be 66 degrees and no snow, but as see from this weather event, the cricket is full of shit along with the IPCC...Now we do know that the IPCC wants to steal money from Rich countries then give some to the poor countries and pocket all what is left of the billions of dollars in energy taxes. Are you part of the IPCC , you sure seem to be as crooked as they are...We are entering peak winter storm season, and — right on schedule — the worst winter storm of the season is making its way across the US. Airlines have already started issuing wide-ranging change fee waivers to allow flexible travelers the opportunity to reschedule their flights to avoid the mess.
Just cant get more stupid than a liberal, well maybe a female liberal can be more stupid...
Convert Units of Temperature - Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin
Ummm…..a 0.8C increase from 32 degrees Fahrenheit would make the temperature 33.44 degrees Fahrenheit, not 66 degrees Fahrenheit.
either way, the temperature is above the freezing mark
Yes, any time you add a positive number to the freezing point, the result will be above the freezing point.
If that's your criteria, 33.44F is identical to 66F.
