Bernie Sanders, not a scientist, was wrong. 
This proves, what?

What skeers me is what IS effectively addressing climate change Blink  But that dont skeer me as much as Trump

Quote:As forecast, El Nino has dried out normally rainy Hilo so far in 2016. It’s also brought some record daytime high temperatures.

As of Monday, only 0.49 inches of rain had fallen this year at Hilo International Airport. That’s 4.21 inches below the normal 4.7 inches Hilo normally receives by Jan. 18.
Afternoon high temperatures made the record books twice this month: Jan. 10 with 87 degrees, eclipsing the previous high of 85, set in 1980, 1997 and 2010; and Jan. 12 with 85 degrees, tying the high for that date set in 1977 and 1996.

Hawaiians that I meet here in Oregon are most concerned that the trade winds which keep the climate pleasant are no longer the norm. Coincidentally, they are what bring the consistent rains also. 


HECO is also struggling with the decline of power from their wind turbines.

?? How do you wind a turbine?

Quote:Unusually warm Arctic winter stuns scientists with record low ice extent for January

http://mashable.com/2016/02/05/arctic-sea-ice-hits-record-low-for-january/



Quote:Sea ice is virtually absent from the Barents and Kara Seas, which constitute a large swath of the Atlantic Arctic, located northeast of Scandinavia and north of the Russian mainland.

“For the Arctic this is definitely the strangest winter I’ve ever seen," said Mark Serreze, the director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) in Boulder, Colorado, which tracks sea and land ice around the world.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, sea ice records have only been kept since 1979, so this isn't really a record breaker in the larger picture, like BILLIONS of years. Good try though

Quote:Record warmth to start our week! Temperatures will cool back down to near normal by the end of this week, but not tomorrow... Tuesday looks toasty!

Strong high pressure continues to dominate the west coast, leading to plenty of sunshine, and record high temperatures around the North State today. Redding led the way with a high of 82, and Red Bluff hit 81, both records. Both Chico and Paradise saw 79, also records for the date.

I bet if you go back a billion years ago, you would have found it hotter.

RE: Record Breaking Weather - chuck white - 02-08-2016

I was right, this is the global temperature for the last billion years

Looks like oregunlover was right,  just go back 3 million years ago and it was hotter. He would have been a monkeys then.

And still is Laughing JK OL.... Anyway Medford broke the high temp yesterday at 79 which was WAY over the old record of 70.
If I didn't know better I would thing there is something relatively new heating the earths atmosphere.

The west coast broke a lot of record highs.


Quote:Monday a host of other cities broke new one-day warmth records. Forks hit 70 degrees yesterday, which shattered the old record of 61 set back 46 years ago in 1970. It was the only city in Washington State to break a heat record. Another Northwest city that shattered its high temp by 9 degrees was Medford, Oregon. The Monday high in Oregon’s Rogue Valley was a summer-like 79 degrees. Other Oregon cities breaking or tying records: Redmond (67), McMinnville (66), Salem (65), and Hillsboro (64 tie).

Quote:Warm temperatures in the Arctic region have resulted in the lowest amount of sea ice in the month of January since satellite technology began recording the levels, according to a discovery.com story.

The extent of the sea ice averaged 5.2 million square miles during January 2016, some 402,000 square miles lower than the average set from 1981 through 2010.  The previous low was recorded in 2011 and the 2016 measurement is about 35,000 square miles lower than that mark.  Researchers attribute the loss of sea ice to the regions around the Barents Sea, Kara Sea, and the East Greenland Sea in the Atlantic, and also the Bering Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk.

Quote:Earth's temperature soared to a record high last month, a whopping 1.5 degrees above average as measured by weather satellites.

That's a huge amount in climate science, where records are often broken by hundredths or tenths of degrees. The level makes February the most unusually warm month ever recorded, scientists from the University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH) said.

Only five countries use Fahrenheit to measure climate temperatures and most of them do very little (if any) climate science. The U.S. should joint the rest of the world in using standard scientific terms and standards. We came close in the 70's to adopting the metric system of measurement and pulled back. Yes: Measured in Centigrade. 
Still...
Guess it doesn't take a rocket scientist to translate terms. But why do we bother doing it? 

And we move even closer to the absolute fact that our climate is changing and that "mankind" has a significant influence in that change. Time to remove this from "Political" debate and allow the science to guide our decisions. Note that the good state of Oregon is suggesting we use less coal to fire our power plants. Good news, and now the state(s) have some responsibility in finding ways to provide jobs and training for those displaced by these changes.

Good question.
I looked into it and they report 0.83C which means the 1.5° is F.
