Mosses, found under 11 m of ice, grew ~1,050 years ago at the site of this Antarctic glacier, meaning it was much warmer than today in Antarctica around the year 1000. nature.com/articles/s4324…
Lake City, Florida, CO2-agnostic, well below 1920s-40s and 1890s highs. The highest temperature ever recorded in Lake City was 106°F, on June 4, 1918.
Wrong, Brian. Tampa actually did not reach 100° for the first time in recorded history today. Records from the U.S. Army Bureau (predating NWS) show that Tampa (Fort Brooke) hit 100° on August 23, 1848. 🔗ncei.noaa.gov/nerms/api/docu…
Breaking: Tampa, Florida has just hit 100 degrees for the first time in recorded history. Climate change is REAL. WAKE UP!
They are not only ugly, kill majestic birds, cause illness and are a threat to the environment with massive use of resources and energy for construction. Wind turbines create more warming than they avoid, a Harvard applied physics study found. technologyreview.com/2018/10/04/139…
USA today offers groundbreaking climate insights: A late-July heat wave "isn't normal". Meanwhile, in real-life USA, the percentage of hot days is 20th lowest on record since 1895. Data and chart by @TonyClimate usatoday.com/story/news/nat…
Not a single tree was left standing on Barbados. Every house was destroyed.
The Great Hurricane of 1780 had the largest death toll of any Atlantic hurricane. It claimed 22,000+ lives. Wind speeds have been estimated at 200 mph. The 1780 Hurricane season was so severe it may have contributed to the American victory at Yorktown the following year by…
Washington Post - Oct 21, 1917 ~~ BAGDAD HEAT BREAKS RECORD ~~ This has been the hottest season in Mesopotamia of which records exist. July 1917 Bagdad, Iraq = 122.8°F = 50.44°C Found by @Don_Penim x.com/Met4CastUK/sta…
Turkey reached 50.0°C for the first time in recorded history today. This isn’t just a heatwave, It’s the edge of human survival. In low humidity just 30 minutes of exposure risks heat stroke. Increasing humidity shortens that time. This is climate change, and it’s accelerating.
New study: Defying climate models, Central Africa is colder today than any other Holocene period. Mean annual air temps have declined from 25.5°C 7000 years ago to 22°C today. "A 2.5°C temperature drop in 7000 years exceeds current model predictions." sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Love this piece from Leonard Nimoy on the threat of the new Ice Age. The fascinating part is how similar it is to current warnings about global warming.
"Climate experts believe the next ice age is on its way." Climate fearmongering is nothing new. In 1978, "the experts" were warning of an impending ice age. "During the lifetime of our grandchildren, Arctic cold and perpetual snow could turn most of the inhabitable portions…
70°F is 21°C.
San Francisco isn’t expected to hit 70°F again this July. If that holds, it’ll tie the all-time record: just two days above 70°F in June and July, the fewest since records began in 1874. This is your grandfather’s SF summer.
Year-to-date Northern Hemisphere accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) is the 3rd lowest since 1971.
Station coverage 1885 shows that most pre-1900 reference data for global temperatures are simply made up.
Spectroscopic measurements from NASA's AIRS satellite provide evidence that earth's greenhouse forcing (aka "the greenhouse effect") has actually decreased between 2003 and 2021. In other words, outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) has increased (which is cooling) and all…
