Memorial Day Weekend? Near Winter Weather In Northeast.Another "Global Warming Oops".

[USNavyVet]

There's a big difference between short weather patterns and climate change. Learn your science.

I agree. And "scientists" can't seem to predict either one.

You are totally wrong.

RealClimate: Evaluating a 1981 temperature projection

The global temperature rose by 0.2°C between the middle 1960's and 1980, yielding a warming of 0.4°C in the past century. This temperature increase is consistent with the calculated greenhouse effect due to measured increases of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Variations of volcanic aerosols and possibly solar luminosity appear to be primary causes of observed fluctuations about the mean trend of increasing temperature. It is shown that the anthropogenic carbon dioxide warming should emerge from the noise level of natural climate variability by the end of the century, and there is a high probability of warming in the 1980's. Potential effects on climate in the 21st century include the creation of drought-prone regions in North America and central Asia as part of a shifting of climatic zones, erosion of the West Antarctic ice sheet with a consequent worldwide rise in sea level, and opening of the fabled Northwest Passage.

Climate Impact of Increasing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide

Too bad these same "scientists" can't tell me what the weather will be like 5 days in advance. Besides, so two guys get close to being "correct" and you jump for joy?

That was a prediction made 32 years ago from the evidence then. It was quite accurate. And the European Model accurately predicted the path of Sandy five days out.

You post like someone that has never even tried research what is actually happening on this subject.

Sorry, dude, I just read a post where you defended the hockey stick. I cannot take you seriously after that. Have a great weekend.

"Realclimate" is a warming cultist site run by hacks like Michael Mann.

Now Pattycake, you are not someone that I would consider to have even a minimal high school science education. Dr. Mann is a respected scientist, and wields far more influence than the dingbats that have tried to prove him wrong. His conclusions have been supported by dozens of independent studies.

OK. So you prefer willfull ignorance.

People like you make up your mind on the rants of an obese junkie on the radio and never bother to read what real scientists observe. There have been more than a dozen studies that have supported the 'hockey stick'. If you are so into denial that you cannot take the time to read what the real scientists are stating, you are not a serious person at all. Just another fellow all too ready to ignore reality in preferance for believing in fairy tales about the 'way things ought to be'.

“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.”
• Kenneth Watt, Ecologist, 1970 prediction

Lordy, lordy, every ignoramous that comes to this board has to prove his ignorance with this statement. The majority of scientists were predicting a warming at that time.

What were climate scientists predicting in the 1970s?

The fact is that around 1970 there were 6 times as many scientists predicting a warming rather than a cooling planet. Today, with 30+years more data to analyse, we've reached a clear scientific consensus: 97% of working climate scientists agree with the view that human beings are causing global warming.

So if humans are causing it, what caused the Ice Age when humans weren't around? It's preposterous to think man can alter the weather, I think you AGW loons give yourselves too much credit. The only reason the global warming nonsense continues is that it is instrumental in relieving the Taxpayer's from the money they have generated in advancement of a kooky utopian ideology. And that is what the AGW hoax is all about... Instituting fear to get people to drive cars that don't run on gasoline, etc.... How's it feel to know you've been had?

Lol, were not the ones trying to use science to prove a lie.

Really? Argue your case. Using science, since this is a scientific subject.

There ix nothing to argue about. First it was global cooling, then global warming, now it's climate change. It's your kind that keep changing it. My view on it has never changed. Even the first prediction on the first earthday was wrong. If it was right we woudn't be talking right now.

 

[RollingThunder]

If there ever was a "You Can't Have It Both Ways" debacle for those who believe in Global Warming, this week is your perfect scenario.
Ok, so Global Warming caused the Oklahoma Tornado. In other words, It's Really Hot In Oklahoma! {Oops again, don't we need cold weather to create a Tornado, especially an F4/F5?}
Now we have 50 degree weather in the Northeast. Let's just say the weather sucks in and near Boston. So now we can look forward to Al Gore and MSNBC explain this rare "Memorial Day Winter Weekend" to Americans. The ones who are still laughing at the left, especially over the "North Pole" type weather we had in March.(Along with snowstorms coming in much later than usual).

You denier cult retards are so hilarious. Climate scientists have said for a long time that AGW was going to cause weird, wild weather, so now, when we get some weird weather, you get your panties in a bunch imagining that the weird weather somehow disproves AGW. LOLOL. The reasons for the difference between the unusually cool weather patterns in some parts of the country this year and the scorching hot spring and summer we had last year (2012 was hottest year on record for continental USA) have been explained repeatedly, even on this forum, like here and here, but you denier cult nutjobs just block out what you don't want to hear. Go here and scroll down slightly to see an animation of the jet stream this month.

The kookster is so retarded that he imagines that there aren't known scientific reasons for the very different spring we're having this year compared to the scorching spring we had last year.

March 2013 Falls Well Short of Last Year's Records

April 03, 2013
(excerpts)

In Washington, D.C. this year, cherry blossoms will reach their peak between April 3 and April 6. Last year they reached their peak by March 20, one of the earliest dates since record keeping began. As lingering winter cold keeps spring greenery away, many residents from Chicago to New York City remember it was only a year ago when record warmth had already snapped the landscape to life. Record temperatures began around the middle of March 2012 and continued for much of the month. According to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), by the time all was said and done, more than 7,500 record highs were broken across the U.S. March 2012 went down not only as the warmest March on record for many cities and towns throughout the eastern and central part of the country, but also as the warmest March for the entire United States. Over the last 30 days, a persistent chill over many of the same locations for March 2013 has led to more than 2,600 record cold temperatures. To put some of these numbers into better perspective, consider Chicago, Ill. For March 2012, the highest temperature the city had was an astounding 87 degrees. This March, the highest temperature was a meager 59 degrees. The March 2012 temperature average for Chicago was 53.5 degrees, or 15.6 degrees above normal. This year, the average temperature was only 32.6 degrees, or 5.3 degrees below normal. In New York City, March 2012 brought temperatures as high as 78 degrees, but this year the temperature failed to crack 60 degrees.

The driving mechanism for this March flip-flop was the jet stream, a thin river of air miles high that directs the path of not only weather systems, but temperatures as well. During March 2012, the jet stream buckled so far north into Canada that it took on more of a summer pattern than winter. Constant southerly winds allowed tremendous warmth to build into areas that even touched the Arctic circle.

On the flip side, March 2013 had the jet stream dip well to the south, running more along the Gulf of Mexico than anywhere else. This is more like a December or January weather pattern, so we ended up stuck with that kind of chill for much of the month.

Scientists link frozen spring to dramatic Arctic sea ice loss
Melting sea ice, exposing huge parts of the ocean to the atmosphere, explains extreme weather both hot and cold
The Guardian
John Vidal, environment editor
Monday 25 March 2013
(excerpts)
Climate scientists have linked the massive snowstorms and bitter spring weather now being experienced across Britain and large parts of Europe and North America to the dramatic loss of Arctic sea ice. Both the extent and the volume of the sea ice that forms and melts each year in the Arctic Ocean fell to an historic low last autumn, and satellite records published on Monday by the National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado, show the ice extent is close to the minimum recorded for this time of year. "The sea ice is going rapidly. It's 80% less than it was just 30 years ago. There has been a dramatic loss. This is a symptom of global warming and it contributes to enhanced warming of the Arctic," said Jennifer Francis, research professor with the Rutgers Institute of Coastal and Marine Science. According to Francis and a growing body of other researchers, the Arctic ice loss adds heat to the ocean and atmosphere which shifts the position of the jet stream – the high-altitude river of air that steers storm systems and governs most weather in northern hemisphere. "This is what is affecting the jet stream and leading to the extreme weather we are seeing in mid-latitudes," she said. "It allows the cold air from the Arctic to plunge much further south. The pattern can be slow to change because the [southern] wave of the jet stream is getting bigger. It's now at a near record position, so whatever weather you have now is going to stick around," she said.

Francis linked the Arctic temperature rises to extreme weather in mid latitudes last year and warned in September that 2012's record sea ice melt could lead to a cold winter in the UK and northern Europe. She was backed by Vladimir Petoukhov, professor of Earth system analysis at Potsdam Institute in Germany, whose research suggests the loss of ice this year could be changing the direction of the jet stream. "The ice was at a record low last year and is now exceptionally low in some parts of the Arctic like the Labrador and Greenland seas. This could be one reason why anticyclones are developing," he said. The heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures which have marked March 2013 across the northern hemisphere are in stark contrast to March 2012 when many countries experienced their warmest ever springs. The hypothesis that wind patterns are being changed because melting Arctic sea ice has exposed huge swaths of normally frozen ocean to the atmosphere would explain both the extremes of heat and cold, say the scientists. A recent paper by the US government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) also found that enhanced warming of the Arctic influenced weather across the northern hemisphere. "With more solar energy going into the Arctic Ocean because of lost ice, there is reason to expect more extreme weather events, such as heavy snowfall, heat waves, and flooding in North America and Europe," said the researchers. The Met Office's chief scientist has previously said the melting Arctic ice is in part responsible for the UK's recent colder winters. The possible links between Arctic sea ice loss and extreme weather were made as the UK's government's outgoing chief scientific adviser Sir John Beddington warned that the world could expect more extremes of weather. "The [current] variation we are seeing in temperature or rainfall is double the rate of the average. That suggests that we are going to have more droughts, we are going to have more floods, we are going to have more sea surges and we are going to have more storms." He said that said there was a "need for urgency" in tackling climate change. "These are the sort of changes that are going to affect us in quite a short timescale," he warned. Last year saw record heat, rainfall, drought and floods in the northern hemisphere.

Only in the world of the climate k00ks is weather perception not material to how policy is made. Does anybody else see consituents kicking down the doors of their representative in this country demanding climate change legislation to mitigate the warming? No.....because most of the year, they are freezing their asses off. Like today in New York, when a few years back, it was like 90 degree's on the Saturday before Memorial Day. Shit.....they are skiing on Killington Mt. in Vermont today, a report heard on every network this am. Out of 10,000 people hearing that, perhaps a handful say to themselves, "Shit......skiiing in June = we are doomed due to global warming!!!". And they of course, would be the crazies!!!

Which obstensibly means nobody cares about the science. The k00ks dont like that.........but it is fact.

Yes, we have had weather for as long as I can remember. Some years we had snow up to the windows on the house, then years would go by with no snow at all, then we get back into having a lot of snow. Same with rain, we have had droughts in my lifetime, several that I can remember, but when I was younger I was more into going to the pool and swimming, so the hotter and drier the weather the better I liked it. It got in the 70s today here on KY Lake, and I would find that a little too cool for water skiing, something I used to love to do. That air hit you as you glide over the water needs to be at least upper 80s to mid 90s before I consider it tolerable. But it was a lovely day, a lovely day indeed.

 

[skookerasbil]

Bottom line is.......when Siberia experiences 3 straight weeks of 70 degrees in January, MAYBE people will take the k00ks seriously. No a moment sooner.


Until then, we have near June days in the mid-40's here in New York......today in fact.........and nobody except a climate k00k is worrying about global warming.


So ummmm......who exactly are the clueless retards??

Until then, we have near June days in the mid-40's here in New York......today in fact.........and nobody except a climate k00k is worrying about global warming.
So ummmm......who exactly are the clueless retards??

Why, you and the other denier cult dingbats, of course, as always.

Translation of your silly rant: "if it's cold somewhere, that disproves global warming." LOLOLOLOL

You are sooooooooooo retarded, kookles, it's a wonder that you can turn on the computer to spew your demented drivel across the internet.....does the nurse turn it on for you perhaps, in the day room at the mental hospital where you're confined?

Whats your story s0n? Were you one of those youngsters who came to school with the gay lunchbox and got his balls kicked in repeatedly in the scoolyard? Invariably picked last for the team? Or is it the utter dismay of women on the occassions of taking a gander at your gorgan?

Like most far left assholes......this anger rooted in misery is so apparent.


Nothing however is more fun than watching miserable lefties melt down on the internet. It is the limpwrister way. The whole global warming mantra has become but a fad in 2013......nobody takes these people seriously anymore.

If there ever was a "You Can't Have It Both Ways" debacle for those who believe in Global Warming, this week is your perfect scenario.
Ok, so Global Warming caused the Oklahoma Tornado. In other words, It's Really Hot In Oklahoma! {Oops again, don't we need cold weather to create a Tornado, especially an F4/F5?}
Now we have 50 degree weather in the Northeast. Let's just say the weather sucks in and near Boston. So now we can look forward to Al Gore and MSNBC explain this rare "Memorial Day Winter Weekend" to Americans. The ones who are still laughing at the left, especially over the "North Pole" type weather we had in March.(Along with snowstorms coming in much later than usual).

Its not Global Warming, it's Global Climate Warming Change, also know as Global WarmerCoolering or Global CoolerWarmering

Are you REALLY this stupid? Do you seriously pretend to understand the effects of global warming by making note of the temperature in New Hampshire and some snowfall today?

Maybe THIS will help. The word "global" means the whole world. If the average temperature of the air and seas measured the world over for an extended timeline is rising then we are in a period of global warming. The scientists predicting the effects of global warming have made it clear that unusual weather patterns will arise as well. You should do more research before inserting words in your thought bubble.
