Global Warming & Climate Change: The Phenomenon

Director Bill Nelson of NASA says they study global warning all the time and around 2030 houses on costal areas will flood.

And yet Bill Nelson currently lives in Melbourne, Florida, which is only 6 metres above sea level.

Have noticed 2 things in the last week or two
Lots of leaves are falling from the trees and the winter geese are back
Maybe winter will arrive early this year it’s global cooling we are doomed, we must have a new cool tax to stop this a new ice age is coming
Remember you heard it first on here.

LOL A cool tax to stop this? What is a tax going to do to stop or change the weather.

It is cooler this week than normal, and a lot more moisture in the air all summer which is disconcerting. Today it did not get up to 85 and usually fall doesn't come here until mid October. I remember a few Decembers when we could still walk around barefoot. Climate change is real but there is very little we can do to slow it.
 
The EU did not try to “ sugar coat it “ claiming today that the present drought is the worst in 500 years.

The EU claims one word described the drought which is “ critical “.

Germany claims the River Rhine will be impassable at certain points causing hardships.

I think we'll find they don't have reliable records that date back much further than the late 1800s so how they arrive at the 500 year figure is beyond me - they must be relying on tree rings and anecdotal 'records' by 'gentlemen observers' of the time.
 
Mother Nature, at the end of the day, is in charge and will do as it always does.
We cannot control hurricanes, tornadoes, severe winters, horrendously hot summers, devastating snowstorms of many feet, none of it.
And the earth has its own cycles, as archaeologists are well aware. There is proof of floods, ice ages, warm-ups, etc. in the history of our soil and rocks worldwide.
We did not have cars or gasoline thousands of years ago, but the proof of worldwide floods and major weather changes is there.
I do see that living on a river is becoming more and more dangerous, and man has not helped that situation by stupidly and recklessly overbuilding on every square inch of soil, for instance. And I do see our weather becoming more and more erratic, just in my lifetime.
The out of control overpopulation is ridiculous and not helping.
Man is making the situation worse, but Nature is doing what it has always done.
 
I think I mentioned this before, but I remember all those years ago when it snowed heavily in mid-December and there was continuous snowing, and settled snow on the ground, right through until the end of January.
Of course I remember it cos it was only in 2010.
 
I would bet good money (a fiver) that he has a 'beach front' property, which I would hazard a guess is considerably lower than the average.

Models, Climate Scientists Wrong Again…New Study Finds Jet Stream Strengthening, Not Weakening​



From the NoTricksZone
By P Gosselin
Alarmist climate research centers like the Potsdam Institute and the unquestioning media have been claiming for years that the Jet Stream is weakening, hence this would lead to greater weather extremes across the northern hemisphere due to blocking. Responsible for this of course is man-made global warming.
Hat-tip: The Klimaschau
But a recent paper by Samantha Hallam et al published in the journal Climate Dynamics looks at the seasonal to decadal variations in Northern Hemisphere jet stream latitude and speed over land for the period 1871–2011. The authors were unable to find any weakening of the sort climate alarmists have been warning about.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Mostly all these researchers and scientists are just 'keeping themselves in a job'.
If they turned round one day and said "Here's the definitive answer" then their work would be over.
So it's in their best interests to drag it out as long as possible.
 
The number one major achievement by those in charge (and yes, I include politiicans absolutely) is to keep people living in fear.

“Though many Alaskan glaciers are retreating, quite a few others are advancing. Dr. Pield, still active after fifty years of glacial observation, cites examples of glaciers nearly side by side, some of which are retreating and others advancing. He concludes that factors other than climate change must be responsible.”

https://www.gi.alaska.edu/alaska-science-forum/glaciers-advancing-or-retreating

“Since measurements began in 1895, Alaska’s Hubbard Glacier has been thickening and steadily advancing into Disenchantment Bay. The advance runs counter to so many thinning and retreating glaciers nearby in Alaska and around the world.”

https://www.earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/85900/the-advance-of-hubbard-glacier

“Prof Dhruvsen Singh, of the geology department in the Lucknow University, has said that glaciers in the Himalayas are retreating but some are also advancing which proves that global warming is not the only reason behind the phenomenon.”

“In March, a NASA-led research team announced that Jakobshavn Isbrae, Greenland's fastest-flowing and thinning glacier over the past two decades, is now flowing more slowly, thickening and advancing toward the ocean instead of retreating farther inland.”

The Hoover Dam which forms Lake Mead in Nevada is a only about 30% full which is a threat to millions of area people in the desert southwest.

As the lake level drops more bodies are found In the lake bed probably left over from when organized crime started Las Vegas about 30 minutes away from the Hoover Dam.

What happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas.

From the UK, I only know what I’ve read online, but I’ve read that Lake Mead supplies 90% of Las Vegas water. With water levels so low in the lake & prolonged drought conditions it doesn’t bode well if things continue on the same trajectory..
 
Hunck,

That is why there is all this crazy talk about taking water from the Mississippi River through the Missouri and Colorado Rivers.

At times the Mississippi River can be low at certain points also.

And the low Rhine River in Germany has Germany concerned.

Hmmm.…Mississippi to Lake Mead is around 1500 miles. Seems unlikely..

River levels are low in quite a few European countries currently.
 
Conversely, flash floods in Vegas:

Heavy rain poured into casinos and streets were flooded as Las Vegas continued to suffer its wettest monsoon season in a decade.

Rainwater fell through the ceiling onto the heads of diners in a restaurant at Caesars hotel and casino, while water also poured in through a ceiling at the Planet Hollywood casino as the city was deluged by yet another storm.

Water turned streets into rivers and flowed in waves through underground car parks as large numbers of buildings were hit by a reported 114 power outrages. Wind gusts of up to 64 mph were clocked at the North Las Vegas Airport and near the Strip, while the National Weather Service received “multiple reports” of lightning setting trees on fire.

The wet monsoon season is helping to alleviate the severe drought experienced by much of the western United States, but is also causing serious damage. And there were warnings of more downpours to come this weekend with the potential for further flash flooding.
"We're starting to sound like a broken record here, but thunderstorms are possible yet again as well as flash flooding," the weather service said. A flash flood watch has been posted for much of southern Nevada, northwest Arizona and far eastern California.

Thursday's rainfall of 0.58 inches on Thursday brought the total for this year's monsoon season to 1.28 inches, the wettest since 2012, which had 3.63 inches. The monsoon season runs from June 15 to September 30, with the all-time wettest monsoon season being in 1984 with 4.16 inches.

1.28 inches of rain doesn't sound enough to cause flash flooding, nor does 0.58 inches on one day, but there’s a video of rain falling inside Planet Hollywood casino.
 
Going into a third year of an upcoming La Niña winter according to the weather people is very rare situation.

This usually means a cold winter for both the U.S. and the U.K. except for the warm and dry U.S. southwest.
 
The floods in the southwest U.S. are caused by the devastating forest fires that have decimated thousands of acres of vegetation that used to keep the water from running off like it is doing now. Las Vegas has an additional problem of the terrain being changed by many people moving into an area that cannot support a huge population, hence the low water level of Hoover Dam. It has been a long time coming.

Isn't Las Vegas in a desert?

Yes it is. But the terrain has been changed because of too many people so the topsoil does not support vegetation that is required to keep the rain water from rushing down into the valleys, so if they are experiencing floods it is partly because of that and because of decimated forests.

This shows the current fires burning
