Record snowfall buries Anchorage!

[skookerasbil]

You guys come back and talk to me when your "climate science" becomes mainstream and actually has some tangible impacts in the real world. Here in 2017.........it doesn't matter for dick!!It has had no impact on public policy for over a decade.

But Im an open guy......display for me a link that shows us where climate science is mattering in the real world s0ns!!

Retreating glaciers a sign of Alaska’s major meltdown

As the climate warms, glacier retreat is just one impact that climate scientists expect to happen more frequently. Melting permafrost and sea ice are also causing major problems. Some Alaskan coastal communities have already been forced to move inland as sea level rise erodes the coastline and thawing permafrost causes infrastructure to fail.



Melting this summer is far-outpacing climate projections, says Julienne Stroeve, a research scientist for the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), based in Boulder, Colorado.

Alaskan glaciers in total lose ice at a rate of around 75 billion metric tons each year, according to a 2015 study by the U.S. Geological Survey and University of Alaska, Fairbanks. But this summer, reports NSIDC, glaciers are melting 70 percent faster than the typical rate, thanks to warming temperatures.

Over the past 60 years, the state’s average temperature has increased by about 3 degrees, about twice the rate of warming experienced by the rest of the country, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, and over the past three months temperatures have run as much as 8 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. Under current climate projections, temperatures can be expected to rise up to 12 degrees in the north, 10 degrees in the interior, and 8 degrees in the rest of the state by 2050.

A single snowfall of maybe an inch more than has been recorded on that day of the year before is far less significant than what it happening with the glaciers.

Holy shit batman! Look at that! Over 90% of the Alaskan glaciers retreated prior to the invention of the car! Wow! To hear olfraud tell it this has only happened in the last 50 years or so! But no, he failed miserably didn't he...

As I said before....

In the real world.....more denier cult kook-tard losing....more retarded confusion of climate with weather.....more desperate drivel.....

Here's the real records being broken in Alaska.

Yeah.............but what about the hundreds of glaciers that are growing??????? Oh that's right................sorry........they don't count! What was I thinking?

Except there are not hundreds of glaciers that are growing. A link would be in order if you think there are.


Most Alaskan Glaciers Retreating, Thinning, and Stagnating, Says Major USGS Report

]Catherine Puckett and Bruce Molnia
December 2008

in this issue:
previous story | next story

Scientists estimate that Alaska contains more than 100,000 glaciers—including about 60 active and former tidewater glaciers—which cover approximately 75,000 km2, or about 5 percent of the State.

According to a new book published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), most glaciers in every mountain range and island group in Alaska are undergoing significant retreat, thinning, or stagnation, especially glaciers at lower elevations. In places, these changes began as early as the middle of the 18th century.

Although a handful of Alaska's large glaciers are, surprisingly, advancing, more than 99 percent of them are retreating. In the past decade, Alaska's coastal glaciers have added as much (or more) meltwater to the global ocean as the ice sheets of Greenland or Antarctica, making these glaciers a significant factor in global sea-level rise

Ummm.......no s0n. Perhaps you don't understand?

The "real world" is not the little cubby hole corner of the world called "alarmist climate science".....even in this forum, interest in posts made by the handful of alarmists draws little attention from USMB board members ( part of the "real world" ). It would be like a group of 5 people playing poker in a basement in the Bronx proclaiming themselves to be the greatest poker players in the world. In their "real world" maybe its so but to the rest of the world, they are seen as legends in their own minds.

Alarmist have been throwing bombs into the "real world" for 2 decades now ( at least ). And where in the real world has it yielded any impact?

The answer is.......hardly anywhere. When is the last time there was any significant climate legislation in Congress? Not in over a decade. Voter interest in climate change is at historic lows ( proven by about 4,000 polls ). Renewable energy, even after 8 years of Obama still sits at providing America with 1% of our electricity. News reports on climate change on far left places like MSNBC and CNN have disappeared.......Zucker over at CNN even publically stated there is no interest in climate change stories.

C'mon............

The alarmist mental cases in here are nothing more than a carbon copy of the "Moonies" of the 70's who told everybody they spoke for the world. But nobody listened.
