2015 Already Setting Heat Records

Don't forget the weed-eating... My eyes are burning from the exhaust fumes by the time I finish with that thing...

 

What do you plan on doing about continental drift when the continents at the poles start drifting towards warmer climates? Keep dumping ice on the glaciers so they don't melt?

 

How about we cross that bridge when we get there millions of years from now.

 

That "9.8/10" has been debunked more times than "if you like your doctor...."

A few days ago the chance of rain was quoted as being at 0%. Then it rained. They can't get local weather right and with the year not even a third over you're calling it the hottest on record.

 

2015 already set COLD records...

Record-Breaking Cold: All-Time March Record Lows Set

My state, Virginia, was no exception. The last frost in my neck of the woods was only two weeks ago...

 

So you don't have any of this written down. You're pulling numbers out of your butt. And I'm the one BSing. Why would I take your word over the actual temperature record when you don't even have the temperatures written down?

 

Please excuse him for ACTUALLY LIVING IT!!!!

 

No it hasn't. Nice try.

The researchers who wrote down the temperatures for the temperature record lived it too. AND they wrote it down.

Many more heat records than cold records. It was only colder than average in the north eastern united states and canada.

 

Yes it has. http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303480304579578462813553136

So did Thirty6, we both read it.

 

That's refering to a study of studies that said 97%. I'm referring to a survey of scientists that says 98%

Sorry but it's going to take more than a misguided wsj blog to dispute scientific surveys and studies of studies.

 

Quite. Spring is getting almost as slow a start where I'm at this year as last. I even saw snow flurries a little earlier today.

 

We had record cold in the Mid-Atlantic, too. We're also a month into Spring and no signs of record heat...

 

Did you read this part from your link: This study compiled a list of 1,372 climate scientists, and then looked at those who are "actively publishing" in the science of climate. They categorized the scientists as either "convinced" or "unconvinced" by the evidence. The results were that 97% of actively publishing climate scientists are convinced by the evidence of anthropogenic climate change. They also found that those scientists that were unconvinced had significantly fewer publications (in any science) than those that were convinced.

Or this: There is an overwhelming level of scientific consensus on human-caused climate change. Over 95% of actively publishing climate scientists agree that the earth is warming and that human activity is the cause.

 

funny how the liberal mind works.....


record lows and snow in Atlanta this past January "that doesn't disprove global warming"~liberals
record highs in Atlanta in April "GLOBEZ ARE WARMINGZ.... THIS IS PROOF"~liberals

 

If humans are accidentally causing global warming that is actually good news. If we can accidentally warm, then most likely we can purposefully warm or cool a planet. That sounds like exactly what we need to solve our overpopulation problem, and eventually get off this planet (as some of the smartest humans like Hawking say we must).

 

This isn't record anything in atlanta. This is record high GLOBAL temperature.

 

that's ironic... because I can find a graph that looks pretty much the same that shows how many teachers think teachers need a raise. Shocking that people will answer polls in ways to make sure their funding stays coming in.

minus the data that contradicts your predetermined answer, huh?

 

absolute proof is impossible since we cannot do a double blind experiment on the earths climate

gw theory is not based on models, so your critique of those is irrelevant

 

would you also be shocked to know that businesses and people tend to oppose any policy that will cost them money or profits

 

My questions remain the same. Are they using the same instruments to record temperature today as 138 years ago? If so why? If not, how is the discrepancy in accuracy explained?

 

i think i acknowledged that at this time that seems true
i have never supported extreme responses to this issue

but ron
you seem like a pretty logical person
so let me ask you sincerely

you know and i know that failing an enormous climactic experiment
this issue cannot be proven... it just cannot
you understand that, right?

and just like it is impossible for me to prove one side of the argument
it is equally impossible for you or anyone else to prove the other side without an experiment
you understand that also? right?

so what we are left with on either side is our best guess about the situation
because we just cannot know for sure......right?

but it does not mean we cannot meaningfully think and discuss the issue
but proof is not on the table as an option for you or for me
and it is kinda pointless to harangue each other about our best guess

so what do we know
well i think we know the oceans are acidifying
do you dispute that? and imo that could be a big problem

we also know the physics is gasses so we can test the greenhouse gas effect experimentally
and although we can question how all that works out on a grand scale
again we do not KNOW for sure
so there is some undetermined level of risk

we know that if we continue as we are now, we undertake some risk
we do not know how much just that there is some risk

and we know there are a whole range of possible responses
from doing nothing at all, to outlawing carbon based fuels
with all sorts of options gradated between those extremes
we do not nee to make an all or nothing response, do we

so, given all of the above
what do you see as the convincing reason that we should completely ignore the risk and do nothing
when sensible low cost mitigation strategies are available

what has been the horrible downside from more fuel efficient cars, and lighting, etc

 

Based on a fictional single temperature.

 

No, it's global AVERAGE temperature and that is even disputed. It is NOT global when ALL areas on the ENTIRE globe are not seeing rises.

 

Weather, just this morning, was predicted to be a high of 75 and clear... It's 69 with dark clouds outside. Now we're in a thunderstorm watch...

 

Something tells me that even if I had them written down, you would still not believe me lol... And I've already said you don't have to. I know how hot it's been here. I can remember summer days in the 90's when I started driving because my first truck didn't have an A/C. I always looked at the weather to see what it was going to be like outside. I like watching the weather, I love thunderstorms. I'm no meteorologist, but one of my fascinations outside of astronomy and archaeology has always been weather.
