Millions Evacuated After Catastrophic Flooding Hits China, Pakistan

[Weatherman2020]

Crap, I better pop more beer bottles open.

Stupid. CO2 in beverages, or any CO2 from a pressurized cylinder, is a byproduct of ammonia manufacturing. If it wasn't caught, it would go up the stack. Hence, beverages have no net effect on CO2 levels. And even if they did, it would be insignificant.

Even more stupid. You cultists, including "scientist" Westwall, can't even grasp something as basic as fluctuations on changing baseline. If there's not a new record low every year, you actually think it proves the trend has reversed. Again, a grader schooler could grasp this stuff, but you cult cranks can't. Given your levels of incompetence, you all have no business annoying the grow ups.

Ummmm, how does a baseline "change"? Enquiring minds want to know!

Baselines are like record rainfalls. If it rains more than last year, it's a record rainfall.

Over 150 Dead, Millions Evacuated After Catastrophic Flooding Hits China, Pakistan
Global warming has increased atmospheric water vapor levels by over 4% (warmer air holds more moisture). This results in heavier rainfalls (and snowfalls).....which causes increased flooding. Clinate scientists have been predicting this for many years and pointing to examples over the last decade.

The USA recently experienced torrential downpours and severe flooding in West Virginia, Las Vegas, Oklahoma, and before [/SIZE]that in Dallas and other parts of Texas....and other places.
- US Flood List -
These are all being enhanced and made worse by global warming and the consequent higher water vapor levels in the air.

Now we are seeing major flooding in China, Pakistan and India. This pattern will continue and get much worse in the months and years to come. These are all examples of....
Global warming in action....right before our eyes
And this evidence of the reality and dangers of global warming and its consequent climate disruptions and changes will be very fresh in the public's mind when we head into the upcoming Presidential elections in November with Republican Presidential and Congressional candidates insanely denying that anything unusual is happening.

Catastrophic floods have taken more than 150 lives in China and Pakistan this weekend after days of heavy rain. In China, 128 have been killed and another 42 people have been reported missing according to figures released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, China.org.cn reports. A mudslide in Guizhou Province killed 23, state media told the BBC. Eight more people died in the city of Wuhan in Hubei Province when a section of a wall collapsed. About 18 inches of rain fell in Macheng, China, in the four days ending 8 a.m. local time on Monday, said weather.com meteorologist Chris Dolce.

The rain collapsed more than 40,000 houses and forced the evacuation of nearly 1.5 million people in 11 regions, mostly along the Yangtze River and its distributaries, China.org.cn reports, and nearly 600,000 people are in urgent need of basic living assistance. The rain has also destroyed more than 700,000 acres of crops, the Xinhua news agency repoorts. Floods and landslides are also affecting telecommunication and electricity facilities, halting or delaying traffic in some regions. The ministry estimated total economic losses of $5.73 billion. Vice Premier Wang Yang warned last month that there was a high possibility of floods in the Yangtze River and Huai River basins this year, which equate to a large swath of China's southern, central and eastern areas.

China’s Worst Flood In Decades Has Decimated Its Farmland
Modern Farmer
By Dan Nosowitz
July 12, 2016
(excerpts)
The worst flooding since 1998 is wreaking havoc on Taiwan and, especially, southern mainland China. The death count is nearing 200, and the effects may go on for much longer, thanks to the destruction of cropland. The flooding is due to a combination of factors; heavy rainfall thanks to El Niño has hammered the entire region for weeks, but it was a weather system now named Typhoon Nepartak that took the weather to the current destructive levels. The typhoon hit Taiwan on July 7th, then hammered mainland China on the 8th, causing even more heavy rainfall and huge wind speeds. Dozens of rivers in 12 of China’s 23 provinces swelled and overflowed, most importantly the Yangtze. The area immediately surrounding these rivers comprises most of China’s most important cropland, a huge portion of which was either damaged or destroyed by the floods. It’s estimated that around 6.7 million acres of cropland was submerged. Reuters reported that millions of fowl were killed in only one small region; it’s not known exactly the extent of the damage, but it’s estimated to be in the range of $10 billion.

The work of real scientists has less credibility than that of an internet pretender?

LOL @ "real scientists"

Link to either one of those pictures?

Top one is Michael Mann, the tree ring guy.

Bottom one are the ass clowns at MIT pretending to be "scientists"

Ass clowns?
Jealous much frank?
So because Mann agrees with your position he more qualified to judge?
Lol!

Those are the poseurs you pawn off on us as climate "Scientists"

Oh yes, those 'poseurs' with Ms's and Phd's in disciplines that relate to the changes that we are seeing. Such 'poseurs'. Instead we should trust obese junkies on the AM radio to give us information on climate. Oh yes, that is sure the way to understand the climate. LOL

 

[Old Rocks]

The sun.

Now, what's that got to do with the way CO2 is warming climate? After all, the sun's output has been decreasing, so that certainly can't be causing the climate to get warmer.

Because while CO2 is certainly a GHG, in the fantastically small amounts that it exists in the Earths atmosphere it is incapable of doing any of the magical things you claim it does. Water vapor is THE dominant GHG on this planet and it completely overwhelms any influence that CO2 could have had. That is born out by the fact that in spite of rapidly increasing CO2 levels there has been no corresponding increase in global temperatures.

The only way your hero's can make those claims is by falsifying data. And lo and behold one of their labs that they relied on was forced to close because of its PROVEN data falsification.

Either you are a person bereft of morals, or you are truly stupid. Without the CO2 in the atmosphere, the oceans would be frozen to the equator. When the CO2 was at 180 ppm, there were continental glaciers south of the Canadian Border. When the CO2 goes to 280, we have an interglacial, such as we are experiancing today. When it rises to 400+ ppm, we are in unknown territory.

And the liar here is you, and has been ever since you started posting. We have pictures of the glaciers around the world, from the 1880's to present, showing how there has been rapid melting of the vast majority of them. We have had satellite pictures of the ice caps since 1979, and they show the diminishing sea ice. And now we are seeing the effects of that on the jet stream. And you deny all of this. LOL

Bull poo. CO2's effects are completely masked by water vapor's GHG effect. Completely and totally. CO2 exists in such faint amounts in our atmosphere that it has little to no effect. The same go's for methane that you now are all panicking about. Face it dude, you clowns have cried wolf so many times that no one pays you heed anymore. And you are wrong. We have a satellite record going back to 1970 and amazingly enough the older records, that no one shows, are low ice levels, just like we have had recently. The reason why your hero's start the record at 1979 is because that was the polar caps record amount.

In other words, they cooked the books. Based on their now proven wholesale data falsification it is not surprising in the least.

Contrary to your big whopper, Arctic Sea ice did not peak in 1979. It was much higher before that, and 1979 is just part of the steady downward trend that began around 1955.

In other words, they cooked the books. Based on their now proven wholesale data falsification it is not surprising in the least.

You've told that same lie before, and saw it debunked.

Arctic Ice stable since 1979!!!!

That means you're not lying accidentally or out of ignorance. You're being proudly and deliberately dishonest. So why shouldn't we assume everything you say is a lie? Answer: We do, because that's the logical conclusion, based on the observed data.

Really? 1862 a great flood turned the Central Valley of California into a lake. Has that happened again now that globalwarmingclimatechangeglobalclimatedisruption has gone out of control?

The Great Flood of 1862 was the largest flood in the recorded history of Oregon, Nevada, and California, occurring from December 1861 to January 1862. It was preceded by weeks of continuous rains and snows in the very high elevations that began in Oregon in November 1861 and continued into January 1862. This was followed by a record amount of rain from January 9–12, and contributed to a flood which extended from the Columbia River southward in western Oregon,

It might, depends on the conditions

Mississippi River basin flood of 1927 I think it was, was also a doozy. The
Book "Rising Tide" is a fascinating read.

...because of Global Warming?

I was having a conversation with a fellow human being, then you needed to shut that down. Were I you, I would need to explore why I had the urge. I doubt you will be so inclined.

Again -- merging proxies with all the short term variance removed and pasting on a "modern day record" to the right side. The Frankenstein monster with the bolts thru it's neck data assemblage approach. BUT -- Ignore the match-up to the modern era and SEE what historically "recovery" can look like. EVEN IF it's not representative of MINISCULE time periods like our 30 years of sat data. PLENTY of peak variance shifts (even tho attenuated by the data) showing 3 or 3.5Mil KMsq shifts in extent over short periods of time. And that CHuKchi sea/ Fram Strait proxy data never DROPPED until late in the 80s or 90s indicating a severe match-up problem with the modern record.

USGS finds data fraud, closes chemistry lab
"Alleged misconduct and data manipulation at a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) laboratory may have affected thousands of environmental quality measurements processed between 2008 and 2014, according to the Interior Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG).

As many as 24 research projects, representing some $108 million in funding for the laboratory, may have been impacted, OIG said earlier this month. “At least seven reports have been delayed, and to date, one report has been retracted.”

I never lie silly kitty.....

Then why did you just get caught lying about Arctic Sea Ice?

You'll tell the same lie again, of course, when you think everyone has forgotten about you getting busted. It's how you and most deniers roll. You tell whatever lies you think you can get away with, as you believe the ends justify the means for your own side.

This is just one of many that will no doubt find their way to the surface.

As far as deflections on your part go, that was lamer than usual, given it had nothing to do with climate science.

It does, however, implicate you as a fraudster, at least by your own standards. You claim you care about environmental pollution, the lab was testing that, hence it's clear the lab was engaging in fraud on behalf of your radical environmental agenda.

Is who lying? What are you babbling about? It's rarely worth the mental effort it would take to figure out what your voices are telling you.

Now, if you'd like to read more about the Fram Strait, I suggest this:

http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v2/n11/full/ngeo665.html

It points out how sea ice in the Fram Strait depends on regional ocean circulation patterns, so it can go ice-free even if the rest of the world gets cooler.

OMG - are you trying to tell us that Ice extent depends on things OTHER then CO2? Like ocean circulation patterns and weather? Is this NEW?

And ALL those proxies were at relative highs in the 50s thru 70s just before the sat record began. Which NONE of your charts had a PRAYER of saying., THAT is "climate time scale analysis".. What you got -- is a Frankenstein of pasting modern data onto the little we actually know about PEAKS and RATES in Ice Extents.

Greenhouse Effect Is Witnessed…and Getting Worse
Live Science
By Becky Oskin, Contributing Writer
February 25, 2015
(excerpts)
The climate-changing greenhouse effect exists and has been directly measured in the United States, a new study reports. The results confirm what scientists had already proved through models and laboratory experiments: Pumping carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere is warming the Earth's surface. "We're actually measuring the fact that rising carbon dioxide concentrations are leading to the greenhouse effect," said lead study author Dan Feldman, a scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. "This is clear observational evidence that when we add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, it will push the system to a warmer place." Since the late 1950s, scientists have documented rising levels of carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse gases" in Earth's atmosphere. Laboratory tests and physics experiments indicated that these gases absorb some of the infrared radiation that Earth emits into space, thereby raising the planet's temperature. This is called the greenhouse effect because it is similar to how a glass greenhouse traps heat, warming the air inside. Put simply, more energy is flowing into the greenhouse than is getting out, a concept that scientists call radiative forcing. [Infographic: Earth's Atmosphere Top to Bottom]

Powerful spectrometers calibrated by the United States Office of Weights and Measures tracked the infrared radiation coming down to the surface, Feldman said. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb the Earth's infrared energy and then scatter it in all directions, some back downward toward the surface. The instruments can detect the "fingerprint" of carbon dioxide's infrared signal because the molecule emits and absorbs infrared energy at distinctive wavelengths. Between 2000 and 2010, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide rose at both research sites by 22 parts per million. At the same time, the amount of downward-directed infrared energy from carbon dioxide increased. This meant the surface radiative forcing, or energy imbalance, also increased at both sites, the researchers report today (Feb. 25) in the journal Nature. In translation: More [CO2] gas in the atmosphere meant more infrared energy was reflected back at the Earth instead of escaping into space. "This is another direct piece of evidence that supports that the increase in carbon dioxide is indeed contributing to global warming," said Dave Turner, an atmospheric physicist at the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Oklahoma, who was not involved in the study.
