Climate Change?
Over the years 2006-2013 in my area, the average daily low temperature
for January was 50F and the average daily high was 64F. In 2014, the average daily low was 57F and the average daily high was 74F. This year, the average daily low was 54F and the average daily high was 68F. No, two years do not make a climate trend. However, I see year-to-year increasing averages of lows and highs in my area over the entire 9 years for which I have daily January data. I also see similar trends for the other months over the 8 years for which I have daily data for each month. -- David E.

I just heard that San Francisco had zero rain this January; that was the first time since records were kept (over 150 years) that San Francisco had a dry January. -- David E.

How are you getting these averages, is this something you are computing or from some other source? I thought it was interesting, last year (2014) was the hottest year on record world wide, but the East coast of the USA (where I am) was cooler than average. -- Dan Espen |

I thought it was interesting, last year (2014) was the hottest year on record world wide, but the East coast of the USA (where I am) was cooler than average. I am in southern California, between the San Fernando Valley and the city of Thousand Oaks, about 3 miles north of the Ventura Freeway (US 101). The Cheeseboro automated weather station (CHE) is located about 2 miles east of my house. It is maintained by the National Park Service since it is in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, which immediate borders my community on the north and east and includes land about 3 miles to the south. CHE feeds data via satellite to a computer in Sacramento operated by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). In turn, the DWR's computer generates a Web page displaying hourly values of temperature, cumulative rainfall since the start of the "rain year", relative humidity, wind speed and direction, maximum wind gust speed and direction, estimated moisture content and temperature of adjacent fuel (mostly chaparral), and the state of the station's battery. The default is to display these data over the past 12 hours, but I use an option that displays 24 hours. The page is automatically updated about 45 minutes after the hour. Also, the DWR's Web site provides tools to access historical data. These include hourly temperature and accumulated rainfall back to 1997 and daily maximum and minimum temperatures back to 2005 (hourly minimums and maximums back to 2001).

Spotted this article on warming: http://townhall.com/columnists/jeffj...story-n1951433 Conservative source but I also remember hearing it elsewhere. Last year here in Northern DE we had our second highest recorded years snowfalls yet this year I have not even fired up my snow thrower once. |

The person who wrote that article you cite either a) can't read for comprehension when checking sources, b) told lies about the sources he says he's quoting, or, to be mildly charitable, c) didn't bother to check the sources he says he's using. The writer says that both NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies and NOAA's National Climatic Data Center were less categorical about 2014 being the warmest year on record than what news accounts which all sya that it was the warmest year on record. That is a total fiction, lie or failure to understand on the author's part. Both of those organisations state very, very clearly that 2014 WAS the hottest year on record. http://www.giss.nasa.gov/ http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/ He also goes on to propagate that old porky of "no global warming for 18 years". Again, on that score both of those organsations show that he's clueless if he really does believe that: http://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/news/20150116/ |

I like it getting warmer. :-)) Well it's been called 'climate change' now for quite some time as opposed to the older name of 'global warming'. The climate may not get warmer in certain spots. It will supposedly get more variable - longer and hotter spells, colder and longer cold spells and more or less rain and more savage weather events etc. In short, less predictable. that f course is of great interest to use gardeners. I'm having a cooler than usual summer and still havnet'had a ripe tomato and my basil is pathetic. I'm hoping for a lot of hot weather in February which is usually quite hot and the last chance for decent warmth before Autumn comes in mid March. |

Since you live on Cold Mountain I thought you would be wanting it warmer too and voting for batears Tony the swimwear model so we can export more coal, frack deeper and wider for more gas and get the place really warm. Who cares if those heathen buggers on atols have to swim for it if you can get your basil looking nice. I mean really, they chose to live in a tropical paradise why should we care. Think of the jobs that will be created in the expanded navy turning back the boats, it will be a real win-win. -- David - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A better world requires a daily struggle against those who would mislead us. |

Having seen our PM up close and person in a job that I did for a bit over a decade, I loathe the swine. I would not believe anything he said, ever. He on a par with the other denialists. Can't, won't, or is incapable of doing his homework. I'm constantly astounded when I see him on TV - how did we end up with such an embarrassing clutz in the top job. And how on earth he managed to get a Rhodes Scholarship since I consider him to be as dumb as a pile of dog droppings. I can only assume that Oxford needed a boxing Blue at the time that he got the Scholarship. I eagerly await the knives of his colleagues. Once the fever pitch of speculation about a new leader reaches this stage, it's 'all over red rover' for the incumbent. I relish every single plea for consideration that comes from his lips. I hope the treatment escalates and he gets what he dished out to Julia. I know that Turnbull has had a lot of traffic to his door. The trouble is that the Right can't stand him. Too dumb to have yet figured out that the mood of the electorate has changed. |
