Watts Up With That?

Remember when we were told: “The Arctic Is On Fire, and We Should all Be Terrified”? It’s SNOWING there now.

Anthony Watts / 12 hours ago July 7, 2020

From the “weather is not climate”, you идиот department comes this about face by climate change nature.
Remember just a couple of weeks ago we were lectured to about the dangers of climate change turning towns around the Arctic circle into easy-bake ovens?

Leftist morons have delirium Tremors over short term weather events, just wait a few days it will change.

Temporary hot weather gets warmist/alarmists in a tizzy, go silent when there is unusual cold or snow.

Media of course will ignore this cold WEATHER event....
 
My, my, here we go again, the morons in full bay. Their maggoty little brains just too small to comprehend that a spring and summer compromise more than one day. LOL Here are the facts, poor little dingbats;



Both the number and intensity of fires in Siberia and parts of Alaska have increased since mid-June, resulting in the highest carbon emissions for the month — 59 million tons of CO2 — since records began in 2003, it said.

Russia's Aerial Forest Protection Service said it was trying to suppress 136 fires over 43,000 hectares (430 square kilometers) as of Saturday.

Firefighters are using explosives to contain the fires and seeding clouds with silver iodide to encourage rain, it said.

However 159 other fires have been deemed too remote and expensive to handle, with over 333,000 hectares currently ablaze in areas where firefighting efforts have stopped, it said.

The area currently burning is still considerably smaller than a week ago, when the service reported fires over a total of 2 million hectares.

From mid-June, regions in Russia's northern Siberia, including beyond the Arctic circle, have registered unprecedented heat records.
 
Higher temperatures and drier surface conditions are providing ideal conditions for these fires to burn and to persist for so long over such a large area,” European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts fire specialist Mark Parrington says in a statement, per the New York Times. The smoke from the fires alone spans over 1,000 miles, per the Post, and is causing hazy skies the northwestern United States, as Nick Morgan reports for the Mail Tribune.
 
That's sweet old rocks, but my post one article remains unchallenged, and correct for the time frame. Here is what you didn't read:

But guess what? Now in the very same place (Verkhoyansk) that became the poster child for climate change back on June 19th and 20th, we now have abnormal cold and snow, according to the Siberian Times:

Abnormally cold weather has been recorded in the north of Yakutia with residents of Verkhoyansk district waking up to fresh snow on 5 July.

Snow in Verkhoyansk district


This has been a recent habit of warmist/alarmists ignoring post one article to rant and rave over something else instead.

Post One article remains unchallenged.

Old Rocks didn't follow actual wildfire database at all, just post sensational bullshit, making is seen terrible and unusual.

Watts Up With That?

Siberia on fire – every summer
Guest essay by Pasi Autio 14.7.2020

Excerpt:

Figure: Natural forest fire in Russia.

Northern hemisphere summer – the season when forest fires in Siberia are on the loop. And usually every single new article about the Siberian forest fires somehow links them to climate change. Therefore it is good time to see how the forest fires has changed during the years. Is there really an increasing trend of Siberia forest fires as the news suggests and what is continuously predicted based on climate models?

With an area of 13.1 million square kilometres (5,100,000 sq mi), Siberia accounts for 77% of Russia’s land area. Majority of the Siberia is sparsely inhabited wilderness with little or no roads. Therefore, what sets on fire, usually burns until rain or other natural factor ends the fire. Southern Siberia also has extensive logging.

Getting reliable fire area data based on available literature seems to be problematic. According to the literature (1) USSR-era fire area data is unreliable and was consistently and severely underreporting fires on sparsely populated areas due to incomplete reporting structure that left most of the country unmonitored (6). The situation was improved only after western satellite data was taken in use by post-USSR Russia. But considering the size of Siberia and the fact that it is very sparsely populated, it is not wonder that no reliable data can be generated without the help of satellites. But even on satellite era some smaller fires goes undetected due to cloud cover or sensor detection limits (6).

After extensive literature study, I found no actual study providing satellite-based dataset for Siberian forest fires for post-USSR era either, which is strange considering how much coverage the Siberian forest fires have got lately. There seem to be an effort going on to create such a dataset for USSR-era years, however, by digitizing old satellite images taken since 1979, but let’s discuss that later a bit more.

This documentary destroys the "climate change" lie. It's long, so if anyone wants to watch it, the pertinent part starts at 36:25 (Part II, Oligarchs for Climate Change)

CO2 causes trees to spontaneously combust.

This new learning amazes me!
 
I'm not sure snow in the arctic disproves climate change. :dunno:

It is WEATHER event, that is all.

The media wants to sensationalize Weather events, make it appear that climate is changing, which is illogical, since a Weather event isn't climate change at all.

way to go... the weather is about to change drastically ...

this coming storm dropped feet of snowfall in Siberia and the low looks like it will hit the western US by next week. this low pressure is massive and the size of midwinter storms already.

the arctic is about to get a significant temperature and snowfall storms. upper level wind patterns have already shifted to late fall patterns.

Back in reality, high pressure is currently parked over the north pole and Greenland.

That means clear skies and the July sun shining down on the ice, which is one reason why Arctic sea ice levels are at a record low for this date. It also means winds pushing the ice south through the Fram strait, where it will melt in the north Atlantic.
