May 2014, the warmest May ever recorded.

Heat Waves

The deadly heat wave that swept across Europe in 2003, killing an estimated 35,000 people, could be the harbinger of an intense heat trend that scientists began tracking in the early 1900s [source: MSNBC ].

Extreme heat waves are happening two to four times more often now, steadily rising over the last 50 to 100 years, and are projected to be 100 times more likely over the next 40 years [source: Global Development and Environment Institute, Tufts University ]. Experts suggest continued heat waves may mean future increases in wildfires, heat-related illness and a general rise in the planet's mean temperature.

 

Unfortunately for you, and this is not a criticism, just an observation, but jem has had too much exposure to acrimony and his beta cells are worn out. He's developed FC resistance, possibly even type II diabedenial. In other words, even if he wanted to he can no longer accept your arguments.

 

Yeah I guess that's what it is.

I was thinking it was just because he is a Teadiot.

 

GISS Hockey-Stick Adjustments

Guest Post By Walter Dnes

There have been various comments recently about GISS’ “dancing data”, and it just so happens that as GISS data is updated monthly, I’ve been downloading it monthly since 2008. In addition, I’ve captured some older versions via “The Wayback Machine“. Between those 2 sources, I have 94 monthly downloads between August 2005 and May 2014, but there are somegaps in the 2006 and 2007 downloads. Below is my analysis of the data.

Data notes:

* I´ve focused on the data to August 2005, in order to try to make this an apples-to-apples comparison.
1. The net adjustments between the August 2005 download and the May 2014 download (i.e. the earliest and latest available data). I originally treated 1910-2005 as one long segment (the shaft of the “hockey-stick”). Later, I broke that portion into 5 separate periods.
2. A month-by-month comparison of slopes of various portions of the data, obtained from each download.
* Those of you who wish to work with the data yourselves can download this zip file, which unzips as directory “work”. Please read the file “work/readme.txt” for instructions on how to use the data.
* GISS lists its reasons for adjustments at two webpages:
* This page lists updates from 2003 to June 2011. It is in chronological order is from the top of the page downwards.
* This page lists more recent updates, up to the present. It is in chronological order is from the bottom of the page upwards.
* The situation with USHCN data, as summarized in Anthony´s recent article , may affect the GISS results, as GISS global anomaly uses data from various sources including USHCN.

In the graph below, the blue dots are the differences in hundredths of a degree C for the same months between GISS data as of May 2014 versus GISS data as of August 2009. GISS provides data as an integer representing hundredths of a degree C. The blue (1880-1909) and red (1910-2005) lines show the slope of the adjustments for the corresponding periods. Hundredths of a degree per year equal degrees per century. The slopes of the GISS adjustments are…

* 1880-1909 -0.520 C degree per century
* 1910-2005 +0.190 C degree per century

odd... how you flipped the article... ricter... is that some sort of dyslexia of the logic center?

The IPCC commissioned four different models of what might happen to the world economy, society and technology in the 21st century and what each would mean for the climate, given a certain assumption about the atmosphere’s “sensitivity” to carbon dioxide. Three of the models show a moderate, slow and mild warming, the hottest of which leaves the planet just 2 degrees Centigrade warmer than today in 2081-2100. The coolest comes out just 0.8 degrees warmer.

Now two degrees is the threshold at which warming starts to turn dangerous, according to the scientific consensus. That is to say, in three of the four scenarios considered by the IPCC, by the time my children’s children are elderly, the earth will still not have experienced any harmful warming, let alone catastrophe.

Melting ice in the Arctic Ocean and on Mount Everest. Rising sea levels among the Caribbean islands, while the number of hot days and heat waves continues rising year after year.

None of these are forecasts about what might happen in a far-off, distant future. They're happening now, today, a sign of the present-day impacts of climate change happening already across a warming planet.

What follows are ten of the most significant environmental impacts from climate change that scientists have observed in recent years, starting with America's first climate refugees.

"I dream about the water coming in."

These words by Sabrina Warner, a woman who lives in a village called Newtok along Alaska's west coast, reflect the fears of every one of the 350 people who make their home here, about 400 miles south of the Bering Strait.

The impact of climate change is perhaps nowhere more apparent than in tiny communities like this one near the Arctic Circle, which the Guardian newspaper of London visited for a report titled "America's Climate Refugees," the first in a series of stories on how villages, towns and cities around the world are coping with the effects of a rapidly warming planet.

Warner's fears – in her dreams, rising water from the sea forces her to climb onto the roof of her house – actually are likely to come to pass here, even in the next five years, the newspaper reports. The Ninglick River, which wraps itself around the village on three sides, has steadily been eroding away the land for years, tearing off 100-ft. chunks in some years.

Even the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers agrees. In a report issued in 2009, the Corps concluded that there was no way to save the village if current climate trends continue.

"The snow comes in a different timing now," Warner's partner Nathan Tom said in an interview with the Guardian. "The snow disappears way late. That is making the geese come at the wrong time. Now they are starting to lay their eggs when there is still snow and ice and we can't go pick them."

Tom added: "It's changing a lot. It's real, it's global warming, it's real."

Total horeshsit you deranged liar. The world is already experiencing severe consequences of man made global warming.

 

Isn't it amazing that jerm has gone from " Global warming is a hoax" to " Well, it's real, but it's no big deal".

What a POS liar.
