Re: El Niño is back, global temperature records are in dange

Post by EITSwarrior »

As of July 4, forecast models predict a tropical storm coming really close to Hawaii next week on Friday through Saturday and probably Sunday. Almost identical track to Huricanne Ana last year. So far seven days out, two of the most reliable weather models, the GFS and ECMWF) differ only on whether the storm brushes south of Hawaii or north of it. Unfortunately and hopefully not, if you split the difference then it means a direct hit starting on the Big Island. If so hopefully Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa can protect the state again. A lot can change in week though. I hope the worst is that the state gets some rain from it and sustains very little damage.

Tropical System May Threaten Hawaii This Weekend, Development Near Mexico May Follow
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist
July 6, 2015; 4:20 AM ET

According to AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski, one of several disturbances lurking south of Hawaii, over the Central Pacific could develop this week.

"The disturbance that has the best chance of development is currently located about 2,000 miles southeast of Hawaii, but may approach the islands during the second weekend of July."

People traveling to or living in the Hawaiian Islands will want to monitor the progress of the disturbance, which could develop into a tropical storm or hurricane. The next name on the list, depending on where the system develops is Dolores in the East Pacific or Ela in the Central Pacific.

Conditions could spell a record season for storms

With strong El Nino conditions helping to lob a succession of hurricanes in our direction, the central Pacific may
well be on its way to a record-setting year.

When Hurricane Jimena enters central Pacific waters Tuesday as expected, it will be the region's ninth named
storm of the season.

That's only two short of the record for the annual number of tropical cyclones in the region: 11 in 1992 and 1994,
according to data kept by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu.

The calendar may have turned to 2016, but temperatures are picking up where 2015 left off. January was record warm,
according to data released this week by NASA.

You may recall that last year was the hottest on record for the globe. And by NASA’s accounting, it ended with a bang.
This past December was the warmest December on record and the most abnormally warm month on record, too.

That is until now.

February breaks global temperature records by 'shocking' amount

© Getty Images Stefan Rahmstorf, from Germany’s Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research, says the global temperatures for February
are ‘unprecedented’.



Global temperatures in February smashed previous monthly records by an unprecedented amount, according to Nasa data,
sparking warnings of a climate emergency.

The result was “a true shocker, and yet another reminder of the incessant long-term rise in global temperature resulting
from human-produced greenhouse gases”, wrote Jeff Masters and Bob Henson in a blog on the Weather Underground,
which analysed the data released on Saturday.

'Abnormal is the new normal': May breaks another global heat record

Washington (AFP) - Last month was the hottest May in modern history, marking the 13th consecutive month that global temperature
records have been shattered, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday.

That makes the longest such streak in the 137 years the record has existed.

"The globally averaged temperature over land and ocean surfaces for May 2016 was the highest for the month of May in the NOAA
global temperature dataset record, which dates back to 1880," the agency said in a statement.

With enough evidence, even skepticism will thaw

Petermann Ice Shelf, GREENLAND

Half a decade before he took this trip to the farthest reaches of the north, Andreas Muenchow had his doubts about whether warming
temperatures were causing one of the world’s great platforms of ice to melt and fall apart.

He even stood before Congress in 2010 and balked on whether climate change might have caused a mammoth chunk of ice, four times
the size of Manhattan, to break off from this floating, 300-square-mile shelf. The University of Delaware oceanographer said he wasn’t
sure. He needed more evidence.

But then the Petermann Ice Shelf lost another two Manhattans of ice in 2012, and Muenchow decided to see for himself, launching a
project to study the ice shelf intensively.

Science journalist retires at 98 and warns of generation of Americans
who suffer from a thinking 'disability’









‘A perfect example is the controversy over climate change ... the failure of people to understand that this is real
science, and it’s just as scientifically valid as the fact that we’re going to have an eclipse of the sun on August 21’

The melting of ice all around the world is a clue that it’s getting warmer Reuters

A 98-year-old US science journalist, who has finally decided to retire, has said a generation of Americans are suffering from a
“major disability in what they can think about and understand”.

David Perlman, who has not only won awards but had them named after him, said this was one reason why so many people
refused to recognise climate change was real.

Speaking to the website of the Poynter Institute, which trains the media, The San Francisco Chronicle journalist described cuts
in science coverage by newspapers as “absolutely obscene”.

A report compiled by scientists around the world confirmed Thursday that 2016 was the hottest year
since tracking began.

The State of the Climate in 2016 report, led by the United States’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) with the help of scientists from 60 nations, found that “the major indicators
of climate change continued to reflect trends consistent with a warming planet.”

The comprehensive report came days after The New York Times publicized a draft of a separate major
climate change report that is awaiting Trump administration approval.

Texas: Ted Cruz...Rick Perry...Republican lawsuit to upset the election results en-lieu of doing one's civic duty? Priorities? Comment? Can the deluded finally accept that socialism is a necessary part of government and that....

WASHINGTON - Former Texas governor Rick Perry suggests that going days without power is a sacrifice Texans should be willing to make if it means keeping federal regulators out of the state’s power grid.
