On a "Tiny Scale"
Dr. Judith Curry, a genuine climate scientist, discusses the scandal at NOAA regarding their temperature data and the effects of additional carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The East Coast Severe Weather Threat is Over
Midnight: The East Coast Threat for Tornadoes and Severe Thunderstorms Has Ended 3:50pm. Tornado watch for the Middle Atlantic Region. 2:30pm Tornadoes are also forecast in the South. 2:20pm. A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia. 1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes. If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub. I'll update later today.
After Saturday's high in SW OK at Magnum 99° and other records broken elsewhere, I have friend believing more into the climate change theory. Do you know what was the main factors that caused the much above normal temps on Saturday?
ReplyDeleteThere is no question that the warmer climate of the last 20 years plays a role in the warm weather of the last couple of days. I don't think this could have occurred in the 1960's, even give identical meteorological conditions.
ReplyDeleteQuestion is:
-- How much of this is recovery from the Little Ice Age?
-- How much of this is natural climate change?
-- How much of this is caused by human-inserted greenhouse gasses?
Answers? We don't know.
