I happen to have unlimited access, such as it is, on my phone. . . but were I to avail myself of the FREE WiFi offered at Walmart or other establishments, it is not "stealing," Wannabe.

The Wiki link you stole has nothing to do with the map I posted. The map I posted directly refutes your idiotic claim.

Try again. Or don't. We all know the outcome.

BTW, the Wiki link you stole isn't empirical data. Are you confused and think empirical means the Sith Lord is coming for you?

 

[Aglaopheme]

False premise...

The activities on the face of the earth have always inhabited the air, water and land. Furthermore, as we become more aware, we have made great strides in cleaning up our act in the last half-century in the first world.

However, it is comfortable to mindlessly argue by oft-repeated mantra as if repetition creates validity.

I see a spark of awareness.

The Conspiracy Continues!

Dear all,

On behalf of a number of colleagues and collaborators we would like to alert you to an unusually early melt event over the Greenland ice sheet this week.
We calculate around 11.8% of the area of the ice sheet melted yesterday and according to our analysis (back to 1990, we will extend this back to 1980 shortly), this is a full month earlier over such a large area (more than 10% of the ice sheet) than has occurred previously.

Observations from Greenland show that for example, Kangerlussuaq measured 17.8C (only 0.2C off the record temperature measured for the whole of Greenland in April) and Summit station -6.6C, a new record for April. PROMICE station KAN_U showed a daily mean temperature of 0.5C with a maximum hourly temperature of 3.05C, most of the lower PROMICE stations recorded temperatures between 5 and 10C.

The culprit driving melt at this time is an interesting omega pressure pattern with a very cold north America and warm air over Greenland.

We have assembled some information from AWS, radiosondes and models in the attached pdf document to explain the context of this strange start to the melt season in 2016. As usual, since 2013, daily updated surface mass balance plots, and PROMICE observations as well as GRACE total mass balance can all be viewed here (in English):

Data and model output is available for research purposes.

On behalf of Polar Portal scientists at DMI, DTU and GEUS,

Best wishes

And other science types chime in....

Dear Ruth, all,

thanks for sending the update.This is indeed very interesting. I looked at the data from passive microwave yesterday and saw a similar thing.

To put things in context, this is not the earliest melt onset over the past decade, according to passive microwave data. Indeed, during the ‘goliath’ year of 2012, melting covering more or about 10 % of thrice sheet started on or around April 5th and lasted for a few days, to begin again on May 3rd more consistently and . It will be interesting to see how things evolve.

Beast,
Marco

In 1442, Shinto priests in Japan began keeping records of the freeze dates of a nearby lake, while in 1693 Finnish merchants started recording breakup dates on a local river. Together they create the oldest inland water ice records in human history and mark the first inklings of climate change, says a new report published today out of York University and the University of Wisconsin.

The researchers say the meticulous recordkeeping of these historical "citizen scientists" reveals increasing trends towards later ice-cover formation and earlier spring thaw since the start of the Industrial Revolution.

For example, the study found that, from 1443 to 1683, Lake Suwa's annual freeze date was moving almost imperceptibly to later in the year - at a rate of 0.19 days per decade. From the start of the Industrial Revolution, however, that trend in a later freeze date grew 24 times faster, pushing the lake's "ice on" date back 4.6 days per decade.

Before the Industrial Revolution, Lake Suwa froze over 99 per cent of the time. More recently, it does so only half the time. A similar trend is seen with extremely early ice breakup on Torne River. Extreme cases once occurred in early May or later 95 per cent of the time, but they are now primarily in late April and early May.

Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters: Table of Events

In 2016, there have been 8 weather and climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion each across the United States (as of July 2016). These events included 2 flooding events and 6 severe storm events. Overall, these events resulted in the deaths of 30 people and had significant economic effects on the areas impacted.

Earth has recorded its warmest first half of any year dating to 1880, according to NOAA's global State of the Climate report released on Tuesday. In fact, each month so far this year has seen record warmth, the report added.

Furthermore, June marked the 14th consecutive warmest month on record for the globe. It's the longest stretch of months in a row that a global temperature record has been set, according to NOAA's dataset.

Here are all the climate records Earth shattered last year.

 

[Conager]

It was 122 F a month ago. Remarkably, by the grace of Gaia, I survived. Last week it was 115. Today, 99. "Climate" continues to change, indeed.

The climate in the laundromat today is quite humid. Probably due to the greenhouse gases from neighboring Palo Verde Nuclear Power that powers these washing machines. Less, washing, more patchouli oil, says I.

Imagine how much hotter it would be without the cooling effect of millions of square feet of reflective surfaces, farmland no longer irrigated, and miles and miles of cool, heat-beating pavement!

Good thing we have those eons of accurate "climate" reports.

The best evidence, naturally, was how uncannily accurately the latest climate "science" models predicted exactly where those records would be "shattered" based on neighboring cow flatulence studies.

If that impressive list of "record" temperatures in the storied history of Mother Earth, I don't know what will covert the heretics to the one true, settled faith. There is no Goddess but Gaia; Gaia is Great!
