NOAA challenged the global warming ‘pause.’ Now new research says the agency was right | Washington Post

In 2015 a NOAA study showed that the so-called global warming 'pause' was an artifact of poor reconciliation of ocean temperature data between commercial ship-measured temperatures and scientific buoy-measured temperatures. Global Warming Deniers screamed foul play.

A new consortium of researches have reexamined NOAA's study and concluded that NOAA was correct, and recommends that other temperature data sets also be corrected in the same fashion.

 

Conditions That Form More Hurricanes Also Protect U.S., Study Finds | New York Times

A study published in Nature finds that when climatic conditions in the Atlantic favor a lot of hurricane activity, they also create a buffer zone that weakens the storms as they approach the coastal United States. Conversely, in periods of low hurricane activity, storms — especially major ones — are more likely to intensify before making landfall, potentially leading to more damage. It is unclear how Global Warming will affect this phenomena.

 

Climate change researchers say massive increases in extreme downpours coming by 2100 | The Denver Channel

Assuming an expected 9 degrees F temperature increase by 2100, researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) have concluded that the U.S. Gulf Coast and the desert Southwest could see an increase of storms with intense rainfalls of between 200 and 400 percent, while the Midwest could see an increase of about 100 percent.

It was fear mongering then and it is fear mongering today.

From the East Anglia emails, we know the numbers are fake. Quit worrying and enjoy life.

 

Oh yeah, the Emails will make it OK.

Just speaking to an Abalone diver telling me how most of the giant Kelp ( and therefore Abalone) has disappeared from the east coat of Tasmania, and we are now being invaded by sea urchins.

Just been reading the sea temperature data from around Australia for the last 10 years.

Quck, send me a magic email to fix all this !

 

It may be that rising temperatures are responsible for the problem with the urchins, but it is not anthropogenic warming. Other factors could be the cause of the imbalance in the urchin population that have nothing to do with climate.
Here in Florida, for example, the population of scallops has been impacted by overfishing of sharks. Why? Because sharks eat stingrays, which in their turn eat scallops. Too many stingrays leads to too few scallops.

 

Researchers Say Climate Change Will Drive Stronger, Smaller Storms in the U.S. | Claims Journal

In yet another study, this time done by researchers at Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Chicago, and published by The American Meteorological Society, a better understanding was developed for why it is expected that storms will grow significantly more intense in the future, but that total precipitation will increase more mildly over what we see today. Understanding future precipitation patterns is critical because increased droughts in some regions, and increased flooding in others, will dramatically affect world food and water supplies, as well as placeing extreme strain on infrastructure and government services.

 

So why is it you are willing to accept that humans can and do screw up ocean ecologies, but are unwilling to accept that humans can also screw up atmospheric processes?

 

That's the first thing I thought. I'm thinking the disconnect is because there are no disinformation campaigns funded by robber baron scallop billionaires.

Scientists say the continuing acidification of the oceans due to AGW is a major cause of scallop disappearance, but denier people deny that.

The deniers claim scallops cannot run very fast and have to squint when in bright sunlight, to the point where they are rendered pretty much blind. Also, unless their shells are open, they can't hear for ****. They say in their frequent annual migrations to the other side of the road, untold numbers of scallops are being run down due to the hyuuuugge increase in automobile traffic caused by Muslims and illegal Mexicans. This is taken as proof positive that AGW is malarkey, therefore rising acidic levels of the oceans can't be true and cannot be the reason for anything and what do scientists know anyway.

I'm with the scientists on this issue.

 

I never stated that man could not screw up atmospheric processes. I stated man could not screw up climate, well, short of all out nuclear human ending war.

Weather we can alter on a localized level, but only temporarily. Cloud seeding is one example. Smog is another.

Weather is not climate. Try to learn the difference.

SamSam, I like your snek flag avatar. It made me chuckle.

Note to self: Don't be a chucklehead.
