What will summer bring?

[Old Rocks]

OMG, Old Rocks in his Head is predicting 212 degree Fahrenheit for Anchorage in April! Put your tin hats on, the sky is falling!

And I am also predicting your early demise as you smother from having your head up your ass. LOL Of course, instead of being such a silly asshole, you could look up the weather in Anchorage;

Yeah, that's called WEATHER. If you weren't such a self-absorbed, arrogant moron you'd realize that WEATHER has been cycling for as long as the earth's been here--even before humans. SMFH.

If you were not such a determinedly ignorant ass, you would realize that I never claimed it was anything but weather. However, what do the records show for the Willamette Valley?

Warming​

The Willamette Valley has experienced significant warming over the last century, with the lower Willamette River showing a trend of increasing water temperature. This warming has been attributed to a combination of factors, including increased air temperature, alterations in the river system, and anthropogenic changes. The river's water temperature has trended upwards at approximately 1.1 °C per century since the mid-19th century, with the largest shifts occurring in January and February. The duration of the river exceeding the ecologically important threshold of 20 °C has increased by about 20 days since the 1800s, reaching about 60 days per year. Additionally, cold-water days below 2 °C have virtually disappeared, and the river no longer freezes. These changes have fundamentally altered the river's response to climate change, posing additional stressors on its fauna.

One event over sixty years ago, and you think that means that the present increase in extreme weather event is not real. My, my, old boy, maybe you had better be checked for senility with that kind of logic.

No, you dumbass, not one of your so called "extreme weather events" holds a candle to the flood of 1862.

They are mere gentle rains compared to the massive atmospheric river that caused that flood.

Don't back track now. You are far too invested on this board to try to deny that you have blamed weather on Anthropogenic climate change. Try again.

The CO2 residence time is far shorter than the time it takes for the particulate matter to filter back out of the atmosphere.

CO2, in the concentrations we enjoy in OUR atmosphere, does nothing but feed the plants.

You know, the foundation of all life on this planet.

Really? Then why do we have 424 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere at present when we had only 280 ppm at the start of the industrial revolution? The particulate matter from Krakatoa has all filter out, but the CO2 we have been putting into the atmosphere is still there. And you are supposed to be a PhD Geologist? LOL

"The current atmospheric CO2 level is approximately 424 ppm.
As of early March 2026, the daily average atmospheric CO2 concentration measured at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii is around 424 parts per million (ppm), continuing the long-term upward trend observed since the late 1950s. This level is significantly above the pre-industrial baseline of about 280 ppm and well above the 350 ppm considered a safe threshold for climate stability.

Historical Context
Atmospheric CO2 has risen steadily due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel combustion and deforestation. The global average CO2 in 2024 reached 422.8 ppm, marking a record high with an annual increase of 3.75 ppm—the largest one-year rise on record. Seasonal fluctuations occur due to plant growth cycles, with CO2 levels typically peaking in May in the Northern Hemisphere and declining during summer as vegetation absorbs CO2.

Implications
Current CO2 levels are 50% higher than pre-industrial levels, contributing to global warming, ocean acidification, and climate disruptions. The continued rise in CO2 underscores the urgency of reducing emissions and enhancing carbon sequestration to mitigate climate change impacts.

Monitoring
CO2 levels are tracked daily at Mauna Loa and other observatories worldwide, providing a real-time signal of the planet’s carbon balance. These measurements are critical for climate research, policy-making, and public awareness.

In summary, the current atmospheric CO2 concentration is around 424 ppm, reflecting ongoing human influence on the global carbon cycle and highlighting the need for sustained climate action.

Stupid ass, I was describing weather for three months that was well within natural variability. But you are looking vainly for anything to refute the obvious warming we are experiencing. It is stupid asses like you that create the image of the Ugly American.

Moron. The industrial revolution started in 1760 in Britain and continued until about 1840. Pray tell, where did you gather these ridiculous claims from? SMH. That fact in itself pretty much negates any of the rest of your cut and paste word salad. I anxiously await your limited lexicon response.

Research the term Ugly American. You're a fool.
