July 28, 20186 yr comment_345051 people are just abandoning livestock there. cattle, horses, dogs cats. just left to fend for themselves, right in the path of the fire. meant Redding. temperature 43 C dropping at night to about 40. wierd they only have about four aircraft to fight this fire. no water bomber. I went through this town and area in the fifties, my parents took me there to see shasta dam. Edited July 28, 20186 yr by Mark F
July 28, 20186 yr comment_345133 five hundred homes burned down. and many other buildings. fire still out of control. 40 C inside the arctic circle. all time record rainfall in Japan. (CNN)Sunburned? You're not the only one. According to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 2018 is on pace to be the fourth hottest year on record. Only three other years have been hotter: 2015, 2016 and 2017. bit of a pattern. Edited July 28, 20186 yr by Mark F

I pity the critters that have to breath that air 24 hours a day. Just had the thirty straight hottest days (in absolute terms) ever recorded on planet earth. in Ca. death valley. largest fires in Ca history. can't get them out. 12000 fire fighters.

September 12, 20186 yr comment_355390 Quote Extremely dangerous Hurricane Florence continues to maintain Category 4 strength as it steams west-northwest towards a devasting encounter with North Carolina and South Carolina. Florence is a storm whose strength, impacts, and unorthodox track all point to outcomes that will likely lie outside historical experience for much of the Southeast U.S. The odds continue to increase that Florence will stall on Friday and move slowly west-southwestward along the coast for several days, bringing a devastating rainfall, storm surge, and wind event for a large swath of North and South Carolina. a few years ago, 2015 S Carolina Charleston, South Carolina residents are hoping to resume some daily routines after this weekend's historic flood levels — but it's not going to be easy. With some areas of the city receiving nearly 25 inches of rain in the past two days and many neighborhoods still without power or largely isolated due to deep flood waters, a new round of showers is threatening to hit the city — and wind gusts are expected to increase throughout the day. Dubbed a "1,000 year rain event" by meteorologists.... Getting pretty close to too late for anything to stop this. perma frost melting in Siberia would be the real nail in the planet's coffin. signs of that now being seen.

Now that Trump has taken the muzzles off the deniers, we should see some real science coming out instead of just model projections. Have a nice day everyone.
September 13, 20186 yr comment_355492 Oh man, the No Tricks Zone is on it. Jig is up everyone. All that "science" is going to be proven bogus. All the big money environmentalism can't cover up the truth of those poor oil/gas companies. Edited September 13, 20186 yr by JCon

September 13, 20186 yr comment_355501 The oil companies have never done better now that they are playing both sides of the fence, or have they been all along? Hard to believe they wouldn't have a succession plan with a finite resource now would they.

September 19, 20186 yr comment_356528 Okay, I can't take this anymore, you have officially gone off the deep end, right from NOAA so that there isn't any question https://www.gfdl.noaa.gov/historical-atlantic-hurricane-and-tropical-storm-records/ Figure 3: Normalized Atlantic Indices. Since the late-19th Century global (green) and tropical Atlantic (blue) temperatures have risen – an increase that was partly driven by increased greenhouse gases. If one does not account for possible missed storms (first red line) Atlantic tropical storms appear to have increased with temperature; however, once one accounts for possible missed storms (second and third red lines) basinwide storms have not exhibited a significant increase. When one focuses only on landfalling storms (yellow lines) the nominal trend has been for a decrease. Figure adapted from Vecchi and Knutson (2008, J. Climate) Now stop spreading your alarmist bullshit already.

Why does this sole data point nullify the avalanche of data supporting anthropogenic climate change and make it bullshit? That is insane.

Is it correct? Peer reviewed? Why does this sole data point nullify the avalanche of data supporting anthropogenic climate change and make it bullshit? That is insane. What is insane, the only thing unprecedented is the long 12-year period from 2005 to 2017 which saw not a single major hurricane hitting the US. This is probably the most devastating and frustrating fact for the global warming ambulance chasers. That’s a glaring statistic that’s impossible to alter. The frequency and intensity of major landfall hurricanes hitting the eastern seaboard is declining, end of story. https://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/10.1175/BAMS-D-17-0184.1 The real data isn't supporting the model projections at this time, so quit making **** up.

Ever heard of the scientific method? Quote When conducting research, scientists use the scientific method to collect measurable, empirical evidence in an experiment related to a hypothesis(often in the form of an if/then statement), the results aiming to support or contradict a theory. The measurable evidence (frequency/intensity of hurricanes) does not support the hypothesis (global warming will cause more frequent and severe hurricanes). Are you a science denier?
