Weather-related disasters in the past two decades have killed more than 600,000 people and inflicted economic losses estimated at trillions of dollars, the United Nations said on Monday, warning that the frequency and impact of such events was set to rise.

As well as killing hundreds of thousands, weather-related disasters wounded 4.1 billion others and inflicted economic costs well in excess of $1.9 trillion over the two decades, the report found.

The United Nations office recorded an average of 335 weather-related disasters every year over the two decades, double the level in the previous 10 years. The report counted events that had killed 10 or more people, affected more than 1,000 and generated appeals for external assistance.

Thanksgiving

1943 was a hot one.

A little chilly in 1994.

"What are the greatest extremes in Alaska on Thanksgiving Day?

To find the warmest Thanksgiving, you need to go back to 1943. On Thanksgiving 1943, Anchorage had a high of 47°F and Fairbanks had a high of 46°F. Nearly every station south of the Brooks range had a high above freezing and most stations in Southeast were in the 50°s.

To find the coldest Thanksgiving, you need to go back to 1994. On Thanksgiving 1994, many Interior stations had low temperatures in the -40°s or -50°s; including -45°F in Fairbanks. Even down in Anchorage low temperatures were in the -10°s with high temperatures in the low single digits."

Predictions about Earth’s weather patterns reaching a “new normal” appear to be coming true, as 2015 will be the hottest year on record, while 2016 could be even hotter, the United Nations World Meteorological Association (WMO) announced Wednesday.

Previously, scientists at NOAA, NASA, and Japan’s weather agency have said that 2014 was the hottest year on record, with a global temperature of 14.57 degrees Celsius (58.23 degrees Fahrenheit). 2015 is set to surpass that record, with El Niño peaking between October and January.

The Express has nothing to do with it. It's that big yellow ball in the sky you see every morning. That's what's reliably unreliable.

When the sun goes out, then you can start burning coal again.

"The amount of methane gas escaping from the ground during the long cold period in the Arctic each year and entering Earth's atmosphere is likely much higher than estimated by current climate change models. Far more methane is escaping from Arctic tundra during the cold months -- when the soil surface is frozen -- as well as from upland tundra, than prevailing assumptions and climate modelers previously believed. "

"The North Pole is melting according to many news outlets. But Walt Meier, a research scientist for NASA and a co-author of NOAA’s 2015 Arctic Report Card on Sea Ice, said that’s not quite accurate."

WRONG!

Ass-breath!

2016. It was this time last year that 2015 was declared the warmest year...

It's always warmer!

Why the hell are you in favor of glaciation? Do you hate minorities? Women? CHILDREN???

Meanwhile, back in the real hot world...

It’s official: 2015 ‘smashed’ 2014’s global temperature record. It wasn’t even close

Port Fourchon in Louisiana is in line to be the next casualty in the oil business due to climate change. The sea level rise makes it unusable, and repairs would cost money that they don't have unless they sell more oil and gas.

As governor, Sarah Palin created a climate-change subcabinet. Now she's backing a film disputing the science.

Sorry. We were at the Gulf Sunday. My wife and I both pissed in the water a few times off the coast of Florida.

Climate is always changing. In the 70's they worried about 'Global Cooling'
