Snow on the ground in the American heartland

I thought I was safe when I came back from Florida a few weeks ago. But today  on April the 18th I woke to a coating of snow on the grass. Is this the latest such snow fall? Probably not, but it’s among the latest I can recall….part of a very cold April. 

And now we are discovering that getting battery production ramped up is a big ask. And in ten years or so, the only cars that can be sold in places like London and California are supposed to be battery powered. It’s taken us 120 years to develop our current system….we aren’t likely to replace it in 10. 

Living in a fantasy has it’s funny moments.

Here we go again . . . global warming must be a hoax because it's cold . . . where I live . . . today!

Global warming doesn't just magically do away with phenomena like La Nina and El Nino, and scientists agree that this year we had an extremely weak La NIna which explains the wettest summer the highveld has had in living memory.

A small and relatively insignificant aberration within the broader and undeniable fact that is global warming.

We had an extremely mild summer and winter has arrived early in the Southern Cape with night temperature roundabout  8 -10 C  and between 17-22 C during the day.   Forget about Rooinek - the fake media said  global warming is persisting and emergency measures are needed - so Rooinek falls for it hook line and sinker.     We had a mild winter last year with ample rain on very cold days - otherwise really nice.

Luckily the area had a bumper harvest  of wheat  in the Municipal area providing circa 8%  of all wheat harvested in SA.   Could reduce the need for import of wheat compared to the annual import

‘Dear Tom,
It’s been quite a while since Chicago logged a 100-degree temperature? How long has it been?
—Monica, West Dundee
Dear Monica,
It’s been nearly nine years since the city reached an official triple-digit temp, when a high of 103 was recorded on July 6, 2012. It was the last of four that summer, the first a high of 100 on June 28, followed by highs of 102 and pair of 103s on July 4-6. The city’s only other 100-degree high this century was 102 during Lollapalooza on July 24, 2005. Dating to 1871, Chicago has logged just 65 triple-digit days, with the 1988 drought summer scoring the most with seven. The city’s earliest-in-the year 100 was a high of 102 on June 1, 1934, and the latest, 100 degrees on Sept. 7, 1960. Chicago’s all-time official highest temperature was 105 on July 24, 1934, but though not official, Midway recorded 109 degrees the day before.’

……..

So based on a 150 year average we get a 100 degree day every second year. And it’s been 9 years since we last experienced one. Does that sound like run away warming? 

These tail of the probability distribution events are not suggesting that the whole curve has moved up.

Then you have troublesome issue that half of consensus warming occurred before Co2 had increased materially.

The data continues to be unconvincing.

So snow flake, I am in Thailand and the locals are even complaining of the heat, so based on you idiotic idea of its cold here there is no global warming then this proves that global warming is true. You can't have it both ways.

I am interested to see how this is any different in your view

Both sides does it...

Well if the locals in Thailand can discern a 0.5 degree increase, they are pretty sensitive. But of course they can’t, they are reacting to temperature extremes. Which actually all the Warming Groupies do…’this flood, that heat wave, some drought’. And then when ‘deniers’ point to an extreme they get lectured on ‘it’s cold here today’. Hilarious.

But actually the basic point is I would never claim to sense or not sense global warming, it’s far too small for that even if you believe…I cite measured temperatures.

What  I am referencing  is data taken in the same place over 150 years. That’s 150  data points, taken in exactly the same way. Actually much more reliable than taking data once in 150 places. But no doubt you are too programmed to understand that.

Global temperature  data is an average not a single reading and has been adjusted many times. I have far more faith in historical data taken in one place over 150 years. And as you can see from the discussion I posted with the top Chicago meteorologist….Chicago was hotter in the 1930s.

It’s reassuring being a believer. A generation ago you would have been a religious believer. If you lived in Germany in the 30s you would have been a Nazi. I prefer to think for myself.

Produce the lecture.

Hilarious thread…..the part I loved is where your defence of warming was listing all the institutions pushing the theory. Unfortunately they still ignore the fact that half of warming occurred before CO2 had increased significantly.

I liked the bit where you slunk red-faced away from the thread after it finally dawned on you that you were quoting discredited bible-bashing charlatans . . . this after sanctimoniously telling other posters to "do their homework" before posting.

LMAO!
