Los Angeles has its hottest day ever recorded

[Chris]

The summer of 2010 was bound to be remembered for cool temperatures across Los Angeles and a stubborn El Niño-enhanced marine layer blanketing the west side.

And then it became Fall.

The mercury hit an unprecedented 113 degrees shortly after noon and we may see hotter temps yet as the September sun bakes the downtown streets into the afternoon.

Today is not only the hottest September 27th since 1877 when meteorological record-keeping began -- it's downtown LA's highest temperature reading ever.

Maybe. In the 1870's there was a hot spell that hit Santa Barbara most prominently that killed birds sitting in the trees. The temps were also felt in LA but no one knows how hot it was because there were no thermometers. Hyperbole isn't science and never will be.
LA has had a few days of record heat but it had several months of record cold...how does that figure into your little fact tree?

big deal.....it will get into triple digits for a week maybe two sometimes.....it can get hot here.....and hey Chrissy Wednesday its going to be around 85....big drop aint it.....

Here in the NW we are welcoming the Indian Summer. It got above 70 and humid!

Hottest of 130 years on a 4.5 Billion year old planet. What's the significance? Has this data point been peer-reviewed? Has the peer-review process been properly vetted?

Tough being on the wrong side of history, isn't it?

Which oil company do you work for again?

How do you figure? I at least know history unlike yourself.
How long have you worked for Goldman Sachs and CCX?

God ol friday, another dingbat dumbell! Now tell me, silly ass, how many of those years has man been around? Do you people have a terminal instinct to prove how stupid you are?

Another point to consider. For those in the don't know, it will come down to the temperature of our oceans and if currents change, big changes will occur on the land.

50,000-200,000 years. Now I answered your question without invective do you care to answer mine?

 

[Old Rocks]

The significance is that an adrupt climate change will disrupt both agriculture and the distribution system that modern civilization depends on. With the resultant famines. In June, Russia was predicting a harvest of grain that would exceed 93 million tons, 18 million tons over what Russia uses. The hot, dry weather and fires have reduced that harvest to less than 60 million tons, meaning that Russia will have to import 15 million tons. And then you have Pakistan, where virtually the whole of the argiculture was wiped out by monsoon floods.

Our agriculture is at the mercy of the weather. Significant changes in weather patterns means that we lose major sections of it. In a world of nearly 7 billion people, that leads to famine.

Well, the 4.5 billion years isn't significant. We're concerned about what's been happening over the last couple of hundred, especially since humans emit more GHGs in days than all the volcanoes on earth do in a year. YES, that has all been peer-reviewed and vetted. What do you expect to happen, if the trend continues, given the well-documented ability of GHGs to absorb infra-red radiation? I await your conclusion.

No thermometers...bwahahahaha!

I know we have a firm handle on climate and we expect that the sun is digital heat source and the only variable we need to monitor is the atmospheric trace element CO2, but I thought this might be of interest

March 1882, The S.S. Jesmond

"The Jesmond passed through the staringhts of Gibraltar on March 1, 1882, and sailed into the open sea. When the ship reached the position 31° 25' N, 28° 40' W, about 200 miles west of Madeira and about the same distance south of the Azores, it was noted that the ocean had become unusually muddy and that the vessel was passing through enourmous shoals of dead fish, as if some sudden disease or underwater explosion had killed them by the millions. Just before the encountering the fish banks, Captain Robson noticed smoke on the horizon which he presumed came from another ship.

On the following day the fish shoals were even thicker and the smoke on the horizon seemed to be comming from the mountains on an island directly to the west, where, according to the charts, there was no land for thousands of miles. As the Jesmond approached the vicinity of the island, Captain Robson threw out an anchor at about twelve miles offshore to find out whether or not this uncharted island was surrounded by reefs. Even though the charts indicated an area depth of several thousand fathoms, the anchor hit bottom at only seven fathoms.

When Robson went ashore with a landing party they found themselves to be on a large island with no vegetation, no trees, no sandy beaches, bare of all life as if it had just risen from the ocean. The shore they landed on was covered with volcanic debris. As there were no trees, the party could clearly see a plateau beginning several miles away and smoking mountains beyond that."

Another siting different ship.

"Just a month later, Captain James Newdick and the crew of the Westbourne saw the same island - at bearings 25o 30’N, 24oW. Their story appeared in the New York Post. The two sets of co-ordinates hint at a sizable landmass, which could only have surfaced as the result of major seismic activity. In fact, the sailor from the SS Jesmond described a plateau of smoking volcanoes several miles from their landing point, and that the ground was riven by lethal chasms. The ground and objects were encrusted with volcanic deposits. In both instances there were mudbanks and vast shoals of dead fish."

My windows are wide open here in Maine, this morning.

The air feels almost tropical. It's warm and moist.

If I were convinced that this was all global warming was going to amount to, I'd be encouraging people to burn more fuel to keep it going.

Sucks for you folks in the world's sunnier climes though, I expect.

Residents Wilt as Fall Heat Wave Makes Up for a Cooler Summer

Yesterday’s peak of 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 Celsius) in Los Angeles surpassed the previous mark of 112 degrees set on June 26, 1990, Stuart Seto, a specialist with the National Weather Service, said in an interview. It was the hottest day since record-keeping began in 1877.

“There’s hot, and then there’s hot,” said Byron Tyler, a resident walking in Hollywood yesterday after lunch. He shared a photo sent to his cell phone by a friend in the nearby San Fernando Valley whose car dashboard thermometer displayed 121 degrees. “Looking at that I don’t feel so bad.”

The early fall heat wave has produced two consecutive days of triple-digit temperatures, according to the Weather Service. Downtown Los Angeles will drop to the mid- to upper-90s, Seto said. Valley areas, some of which are within city limits, will remain above 100 until Sept. 29.

“We’ve gotten many calls today that are heat related -- heat exhaustion, heat strokes,” Mike Brown, battalion chief at the Los Angeles County Fire Department said yesterday. “It’s happening all over the map.”

Beaches were busier than usual for a Monday as people sought to cool down, Brown said yesterday. Some motorists didn’t make it. Dispatch calls were running 14 percent higher than on a typical Monday, said Jeffrey Spring, a spokesman for AAA Southern California.

Cars Overheat

“We’re averaging 2,000 calls an hour,” Spring said in an interview. “There are a lot of dead batteries because they tend to give up when they’re not in good shape in this kind of weather. Overheated vehicles, where belts and hoses aren’t doing their job.”

The heat wave follows a summer that was the second-coolest since at least 1944, according the Weather Service.

I don't make conclusions on something that hasn't been tested. So far we haven't even proved CO2 causation so let's start there. The best one can get from an honest scientist in a peer-reviewed study is that there might be a cause and effect relationship and if so then humans are probably contributing to it.
