Yes.

 

Bullshit.
Tired of despicables and their endless propaganda.

 

Climate changes. The last seven years were the world’s hottest “by a clear margin” according to the EU Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), with 2021 ranking as the fifth hottest year on record. The monitoring service saw a significant jump in the amount of heat-trapping methane gas in the atmosphere as its annual growth rate from 2020 to 2021 doubled the rates measured over the past 17 years.

The news comes as reinsurance giant Munich Re warned that natural disasters such as severe storms and flooding would increase as the impact of climate change worsens. The company’s annual natural disaster overview found that Germany’s summer floods caused $40 billion in damage, while Hurricane Ida, which hit the United States in September, was the world’s costliest, incurring $65 billion in damage.

The increasing pace of climate-related disasters is reflected in the latest Global Risks Report from the World Economic Forum, which puts climate-related risks top of the list of long term global concerns.

Ocean Temps Were Hottest Ever on Record in 2021, Researchers Warn

Ocean temperatures in 2021 were the hottest ever on record, researchers say, marking the sixth year in a row the record has been topped due to “human-induced climate change.” Last year’s temperatures shattered previous records, even despite an La Niña event that cooled down waters in the Pacific, a new study found. “The ocean heat content is relentlessly increasing, globally, and this is a primary indicator of human-induced climate change,” Kevin Trenberth, a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado who co-authored the research, said in comments carried by The Guardian. Ocean temps have been steadily rising since 1955, a trend that experts say is fueling hurricanes, monster storms, and extreme weather. “Until we reach net-zero emissions, that heating will continue, and we’ll continue to break ocean heat content records, as we did this year,” said researcher Michael Mann of Penn State University.

Biden approves disaster declaration for Tennessee following severe storms, tornadoes

President BidenJoe BidenHouse Democratic campaign arm outraises GOP counterpart in final quarter of 2021 Putin's 'Brezhnev Doctrine' involving Ukraine could backfire Rising inflation adds pain to student loan debt MORE approved a disaster declaration for Tennessee on Friday after multiple states suffered tornado and severe storm damage last month.

Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Gibson, Henderson, Henry, Lake, Obion, Stewart, Sumner, Weakley and Wilson counties will have federal funding made available for their residents under the approved disaster declaration, the White House said. That assistance includes low-cost loans for property losses that were uninsured and grants for housing repairs and temporary housing.

The White House said that other areas are still under assessment for damage and that other areas in the future may be given federal financial assistance.

Last month, multiple states including Kentucky, Illinois and Tennessee suffered damage from severe storms and tornadoes that left tens of people dead, including six people who died following the collapse of an Amazon warehouse in Illinois.

Tennessee’s emergency management agency reported that five had died following the tornadoes on Dec. 10 and Dec. 11, WPLN News noted last month.

Biden approved a disaster declaration in Kentucky before the new year and traveled to the state several days after tornadoes hit the state, saying that the Federal Emergency Management Agency would be providing resources including thousands of blankets and cots and 74,000 meals at the state’s request.

“I intend to do whatever it takes, as long as it takes, as long as it takes to support your state, your local leaders, as you recover and rebuild. Because you will recover and you will rebuild,” Biden said during his visit in Dawson Springs.

“I promise you, you’re going to heal. We’re going to recover, we’re going to rebuild. You’re going to be stronger than you were before. We’re going to build back better than it was,” he added.

Good points! I have asked how does the earth cools itself. I drive by a farm that does flood irrigation and can feel the temperature drop significantly. But the water goes right through the soil and it's warm again until they flood the fields again. So our soil does not hold water long enough for any long-term cooling. I hope to be working on a solution soon. If anyone has any ideas let me know. I plan this to be a volunteering plan and it will take the world to get this done.

 

Does anyone know anything about HAARP?

 

‘Another hellish day’: Argentina swelters under record heat wave
Many towns are posting their highest temperatures since record-keeping began, sometimes up to 45 degrees Celsius.

Published On 14 Jan 202214 Jan 2022
Parts of Argentina and neighbouring countries in South America have been setting record-high temperatures as the region swelters under a historic heatwave.

“Practically all of Argentina and also neighbouring countries such as Uruguay, southern Brazil and Paraguay are experiencing the hottest days in history,” said Cindy Fernandez, a meteorologist at Argentina’s official National Meteorological Service.


Many towns have posted their highest temperatures since record-keeping began, with some zones heating up to 45C (113F), according to the weather service.

“In Argentina, from the center of Patagonia to the north of the country, thermal values are being recorded that are reaching or exceeding 40 degrees,” Fernandez said.

The heat and a prolonged drought have hit the grain-producing country’s crops, though there is hope that an expected drop in temperature next week will bring a period of rainfall to cool both plants and people.

The record-breaking heat also is straining the country’s electrical grid, local media reported.

In Buenos Aires province around the capital, more than 75,000 users did not have electricity on Friday, the Clarin newspaper reported. Argentina recorded its highest electricity consumption level ever on Friday afternoon, the newspaper said.

“It’s another hellish day,” Elizabeth Bassin told the Reuters news agency as she waited for a bus in Buenos Aires. “But well, we live through a week of hot weather and it’s almost as if the body is getting used to that heat.”

Emanuel Moreno, who was delivering soft drinks, said he was working through the heat but had to keep hydrating.

“Truthfully it is really hot and heavy, though when you are working you don’t realise so much. You realise that you are very thirsty and you have to drink a lot of water, water and more water because if you don’t, you can’t go on,” he said.

US government scientists on Thursday reported that 2021 was the sixth-warmest year on record, and they are putting the blame squarely on climate change.

The last eight years were the eight hottest and the last decade was the warmest since record-keeping began in 1880, the US scientists said.

Fernandez, the meteorologist, said a warm air mass had formed over Argentina, right in the middle of the southern hemisphere summer.

“We’re having many days of clear skies where solar radiation is very intense and in a context of an extreme drought Argentina has been going through for about two years,” she said. “This means that the soil is very dry, and earth that is dry heats up much more than soil that is moist.”

Monster iceberg released 'billions of tonnes' of fresh water into ocean

A giant iceberg that detached from Antarctica in 2017 released the equivalent of 61 million Olympic-sized swimming pools of fresh water as it melted, according to research published Thursday, raising questions over the impact on the marine ecosystem.

The monstrous iceberg was twice the size of Luxembourg when it separated from the Larsen ice shelf, which has warmed faster than any other part of Earth's southernmost continent.

At 5,719 square kilometres (2,200 square miles) it was the biggest iceberg on Earth when it formed and the sixth-largest on record, according to the British Antarctic Survey.

For two years, the trillion-tonne giant known as A-68, drifted close to home in the cold waters of the Weddell Sea before traveling northwards and menacing the British island of South Georgia, some 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles) from its starting point.

The iceberg, by then known as A-68a after a piece snapped off, came dangerously close to the island in late 2020, raising fears that it would become stuck on the seabed, block ocean currents and obstruct the passage of thousands of penguins and seals.

But the new study found that while it did briefly graze the seabed, the iceberg melted quickly once in the warmer region around South Georgia and had already lost a significant amount of its bulk by the time it reached shallower waters.

Researchers who tracked its journey via satellites calculated that from late 2020 until it melted away in 2021, A-68 released an estimated total of 152 billion tonnes of nutrient-rich fresh water into the sea.

That is equivalent to 20 times the water in Scotland's Loch Ness, or 61 million Olympic-sized swimming pools, said the BAS in a press release, adding it was "a disturbance that could have a profound impact on the island's marine habitat".

"This is a huge amount of melt water," said Anne Braakmann-Folgmann, a researcher at the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM), who led the research published in the journal Remote Sensing of Environment.

"The next thing we want to learn is whether it had a positive or negative impact on the ecosystem" around South Georgia, she said.

It still is true that if we stopped ALL greenhouse gas emissions today, climate change would continue for many decades, perhaps centuries. If we simply cut emissions to the stated targets, very little change will ever be accomplished.
So maybe someone will finally realize that we need to figure out how to adapt to the new climate that is being created by nature and man’s impact.

 

Mankind will end before this planet will....and it won’t be because it’s hot.

 

Or cold, or out of oil, or out of food, or out of oxygen, or out of water.

 

Following the money is always good advise. And this money says the tide is finally turning against global warming/climate change. Because this is only one of many US manufactures investing big in electric vehicles.

Climate change may be supercharging Northeast snowstorms

The weekend blizzard that slammed coastal Mid-Atlantic and New England with up to 30.9 inches of snow and howling winds is consistent with climate science research showing how the characteristics of these winter storms are changing.

Why it matters: Nor'easters have been affecting New England for generations, and they are deadly and costly. Climate change may be making these weather systems more potent.

Details: These types of storms are powered by the contrast between air masses, with Arctic air to the north and relatively mild maritime air over the waters of the Gulf Stream.

• Due to climate change, ocean temperatures are climbing and more moisture is being added to the atmosphere.
• This is causing an uptick in heavy precipitation events (rain and snow) and may boost the storm intensification rates. The Gulf of Maine is one of the fastest-warming ocean regions on Earth, a trend tied to climate change.
• The weekend storm intensified at an extraordinary pace, its minimum central pressure plunging by 35 millibars in 18 hours. In general, the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm.

The big picture: Many of the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast's biggest snowstorms on record have occurred since 2000, in line with climate change-related trends toward more frequent and severe heavy precipitation events.

• Including Saturday, six of Boston's top 10 snowstorms have occurred since 2003, and nine of its top 10 since 1978. Similar trends have been seen in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
• Computer modeling studies show an intensification of the bigger storms, even as smaller snow events become rare.

Why yes!
Any weather event can be spun into global warming ......... er, climate change .......... or rather climate crisis.

 

New metric shows how severe global warming is getting

By taking into account how increasing surface temperatures will alter both humidity and a measure of the energy contained in the atmosphere, a new study finds the world is at a growing risk of extreme weather events.

Driving the news: The study, published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, focuses on an integrated temperature and humidity metric.

• The metric, researchers in China and the U.S. find, shows that as global temperatures climb, humidity and atmospheric energy do so even faster.
• The boost in humidity and atmospheric energy, the study shows, are strongly correlated with trends in extreme heat and precipitation.

What they found: Surface warming is causing a faster increase in humidity, since warm air can hold more water vapor, and warming seas and land surfaces are giving up more water into the atmosphere through evaporation.

• While unchecked emissions might bring up to 4.8°C (8.64°F) of surface warming by 2100, the study finds it could cause the integrated measure to climb by up to 12°C (21.6°F) by 2100, relative to the preindustrial era.
• This could yield an increase of up to 60% in extreme precipitation, with a 40% increase in the energy to power tropical thunderstorms.

Threat level: At the same time, heat extremes could become 14 to 30 times more frequent, due to the combination of high heat and humidity.

• The most lethal combinations of ultra-high heat and humidity, which are being seen now in parts of India, the Persian Gulf, North America and Europe, would get hotter and even more deadly, the study finds.
• It calls this increase "debilitating," especially for vulnerable populations that lack access to air conditioning.

What they're saying: "It is the humidity increase accompanied by warming which makes climate changes into a climate crisis worldwide," study co-author V. Ramanathan of Scripps Institution of Oceanography said in an email.

• "The humidity amplification of the warming becomes more pronounced as the climate becomes warmer in the future because it increases exponentially with temperature," study lead author Ghuang Zhang of the Ocean University of China told Axios in an email.
• Andrew Dessler, a climate scientist at Texas A&M University, who was not involved in the new research, told Axios the findings make sense, but aren't completely surprising given what is already known about the tie between increasing temperatures and humidity.
• "How much more evidence do we need to see that it's going to be bad if we don't bend the emissions curve [downward]?" he said. "If you're not convinced now, this is probably not going to change your mind."
