Quote:Coolest Summer On Record In The US

http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2014/07/26/coolest-summer-on-record-in-the-us/

Quote:Temperatures in downtown San Francisco set a record high Friday, reaching 85 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The previous high for today was 82 degrees set in 1973.

Quote:Mild July temperatures are making and tying record lows set at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Meteorologist Chelsea Ingram reports the pattern of the jetstream has been bringing us unusually cool weather this month.

As the jet stream dips well to our south, it pulls down cooler Canadian air along with it.

Quote:The 3,151 days and counting with no Florida hurricane and no major U.S. hurricane shatters the previous records for hurricane "droughts," at least back to the turn of the previous century. In fact, from 1900 through 2013, the United States experienced a decrease in hurricane landfalls of more than 20%, and the strength of each year's landfalling storms has also decreased by more than 20%.

Quote:Myth of arctic meltdown: Stunning satellite images show summer ice cap is thicker and covers 1.7million square kilometres MORE than 2 years ago...despite Al Gore's prediction it would be ICE-FREE by now

Seven years after former US Vice-President Al Gore's warning, Arctic ice cap has expanded for second year in row
An area twice the size of Alaska - America's biggest state - was open water two years ago and is now covered in ice
These satellite images taken from University of Illinois's Cryosphere project show ice has become more concentrated.

Quote:The apparent recovery in Arctic ice looks like good news for polar bears.

If there is more ice at the end of the summer, they can hunt seals more easily. Yet even when the ice reached a low point in 2012, there was no scientific evidence that bear numbers were declining, with their estimated total of 20,000 to 25,000 thought to be higher than in the 1970s, when hunting was first banned.

In many Arctic regions, say scientists, they are in robust health and breeding successfully.

Computer model predictions of decline caused by ice melt have also failed to come true. In 2004, researchers claimed Hudson Bay bear numbers would fall from 900 to fewer than 700 by 2011. In fact, they have risen to over 1,000.

However, the main international bear science body, the Polar Bear Specialist Group, admits it has no reliable data from almost half of the Arctic, so cannot say whether numbers are falling or rising.

I recommend you spend part of your weekend on or near a river or lake. You will miss the sun when we fog in this winter.

Enjoy your weekend.

Quote:An early September winter storm in the Black Hills has dumped up to 8 inches of snow in the area, while Rapid City received its earliest snowfall in more than 120 years.

Quote:According to Rutgers University Global snow lab the northern hemisphere reached all-time record snow coverage for the month of September.

45 year high?

We have been keeping weather records on the planet for less than a hundred years. Even the Bible tells us the place is 6,000 years old.
So I'm guessing we have NO IDEA what "normal" weather is.
What we do know is that Mother Earth now supports over 7 BILLION folks and most of us are putting carbon of some kind in our atmosphere. People a lot smarter than most of us here tell us that carbon dioxide is not a good thing when high in the sky.

I'm betting we can except some real weather changes. How quickly we respond to what is most likely a very serious problem will tell our future.

Not not "we" as in you and I. But scientists certainly do.They use ice core drilling samples and analyze air bubbles that were trapped tens of thousands of years ago.
Even tree rings can tell us some info. And we have wee gee boards and people like Sylvia Brown too
