Climate continues to change.

Yes, I had heard that during the time the midwest was in a deepfreeze.

It rained at Nuiqsut in mid-winter. It never rains in Nuiqsut in mid-winter.

After last winters nation wide record cold, fears of global warming won't get Obama many votes.

What votes does Obama need?

March marked the 38th consecutive March and 349th consecutive month with a global temperature above the 20th century average. The last below-average temperature for March was in 1976 and the last below-average temperature for any month was February 1985.

The average global land temperature was the fifth highest on record for March, at 2.39°F (1.33°C) above the 20th century average. The margin of error is ±0.40°F (0.22°C).

The first quarter of 2014 (January–March) was the seventh highest on record for this period, with a combined global land and ocean average surface temperature of 1.08°F (0.60°C) above the 20th century average of 54.1°F (12.3°C). This is the warmest January–March since 2010 when warm-phase El Niño conditions were present. The margin of error associated with this temperature is ±0.18°F (0.10°C).

The January–March worldwide land surface temperature was 1.71°F (0.95°C) above the 20th century average, tying with 2005 as the 11th warmest such period on record. The margin of error is ±0.47°F (0.26°C).

The global ocean surface temperature for the year to date was 0.85°F (0.47°C) above average, tying with 2002 as the fifth warmest such period on record. The margin of error is ±0.07°F (0.04°C).

That's mostly because Americans are deeply, deeply stupid but I'm fairly sure you're right.

The global warming advocates must be pleased with that.........

Wingnut nation has routinely offered winter as "proof" that there's no such thing as global warming.

....and they wonder why we laugh at them.

Well, jeninflorida has voted for Obama to fuck garbage can.

It's changed the design standards.

*chuckling*, I saw Jen's post.

You have a good post above, BTW.

I'm not a global warming advocate, but I'm open to empirical evidence.

Yeah, we were laughing at Al Gore 5 years ago when he was predicting daisies in Greenland about now.

Summers are cool too.

What design standards?

Design standards for arctic construction on permafrost.

Did Al Gore actually predict that, can you link to it? Cus it seems that whenever someone says that the predictions were proven false it turns out they can't read.

I had a link once, but they took the story down. But the story is still up there somewhere if someone wants to dig it out.

 

[Sean Renaud]

So the short answer is no. Gore said something like "Greenland will be green by 2525" and haters translated that to "It'll be an agricultural powerhouse by 2015"

Design standards for arctic construction on permafrost.

Did they loosen them or toughen them?

How do the Alaskans feel about drilling for oil up there?

I'll check on that.

 

[garbage can]

I just googled "gore predicts flowers in greenland in 5 years" without the brackets. I got a bunch of stuff.....didn't look at it.

The link I had had an actual video of Gore speaking.

Oh, the standards are more stringent. Designs must consider warmer ground temperatures. Warmer ground is weaker ground.

Generally, Alaskans want production as that funds our state gov't.

The Pentagon is taking it seriously.

U.S. military and intelligence agencies are increasingly monitoring and preparing for how, when and where the consequences of a warmer planet will collide with national security, requiring the eventual need to deploy American troops to weather-torn lands.

As climate-change arguments continue at home — including pundits who assert the scientific consensus on the issue is overblown or concocted — current and former Department of Defense officials are mapping future strategies to protect U.S. interests in the aftermath of massive floods, water shortages and famines that are expected to hit and decimate unstable nations.

“For DoD, this is a mission reality, not a political debate,” said Mark Wright, a Pentagon spokesman. “The scientific forecast is for more Arctic ice melt, more sea-level rise, more intense storms, more flooding from storm surge, and more drought.

“Those changes shape the future operating environment, help us predict missions we'll have to undertake, and create challenges and constraints on how we operate on our bases,” Wright said. “We're taking sensible measured steps to mitigate the mission risk posed by climate change.”

Of course, in their business they always need to prepare for worst-case scenarios.

Who has a heat wave in the middle of spring? Southern California, setting the trend yet again.
