August 2017 was second warmest on record | NASA

August 2017 was the second warmest August in 137 years of modern record-keeping, according to a monthly analysis of global temperatures by scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York.

The measured value is consistent with the trend in global average surface temperatures that has been observed during the past few decades. Last month was +0.85 degrees Celsius warmer than the mean August temperature from 1951-1980.

It was surpassed by August 2016, which was still affected by the 2015-2016 El Niño and was 0.99 degrees Celsius warmer than normal. However, August 2017 was about +0.2 degrees warmer than the August following the last large El Niño event in 1997-1998.
​

[Notice that the months of both May and July matched or broke the previous record high temperatures, in spite of the effects of El Niño having dissipated.]

"More than 90 percent of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gas emissions has been absorbed into the oceans that cover two-thirds of the planet's surface. "

Leaves Emerging Earlier as Planet Warms | Climate Central

The emergence of first leaves is, on average nationally, three days earlier than it was 30 years ago. If current greenhouse gas emission rates continue, the resulting warming is projected to move the first leaf appearance 13 days earlier by 2050 and as much as 3 weeks earlier by 2100.

And the talk is about it's normal, there's room for more. It's only the blink of an eye, it happens all the time. It's your agenda, but it's my tax money, it's my rights, it's my freedom.

What it really is, is simple.

 

Climate change is cyclical and natural. The oceans heat up and the oceans cool down. It is all linked to solar cycles. Fear mongering only serves to enslave the ignorant. Boat. New Honda 20 hp is being installed today on mine. Woo hoo! I got 15 knots with the 9.9 so what would you think the 20 would get?

 

Yeah, spoken like a true dreamer.
The last time the oceans got really acidic, they lost 80% of the fish species. What are you going to catch then on your new boat ?

"Even though the ocean is immense, enough carbon dioxide can have a major impact. In the past 200 years alone, ocean water has become 30 percent more acidic—faster than any known change in ocean chemistry in the last 50 million years ... In fact, the shells of some animals are already dissolving in the more acidic seawater, and that’s just one way that acidification may affect ocean life. Overall, it's expected to have dramatic and mostly negative impacts on ocean ecosystems."

Ocean Acidification http://ocean.si.edu/ocean-acidification

 

By your own source the ocean pH is 8.1 which is not acidic. Words such as maybe or expected or perhaps render statements slippery. One can expect a result without ever seeing the result come to fruition. That is really dreaming. If you think dissolving sea shells in ginger ale is going to sway me then you are dreaming.

 

What makes you think anyone is trying to sway you? I mean, why would they?

 

OMG, can they do this?

In a Warming World, Keeping the Planes Running | New York Times

Going forward, many challenges face the airline industry.

• Many runways are too close to sea level and will have to be raised or protected from storm surges.
• Extreme high temperatures can cause tarmac runways to melt.
• Runways built over now-melting permafrost will crumble.
• Higher temperatures and higher humidity require longer runways for planes to take off.
• Higher temperatures means planes can't carry as big of loads.

Really.

 

Statistics a problem for you ?
