Posted August 26, 20214 yr Let's keep track of the our changing climate and how it effects our daily lives. I'll start it off with the forecast for NO this weekend
August 26, 20214 yr If that verifies NO is in trouble, and right on/near Katrina anniversary. Was over on my weather forums after you posted this earlier and it may go a bit more east. Are you down there? If so, stay safe. May want to make a plan, just in case.

August 27, 20214 yr can we talk about the 10-15 or so tornados that have hit the delaware valley this summer ?
August 27, 20214 yr Water vapor accounts for 75% of global heat retention. Can 't we just get rid of all the water on this planet?

August 27, 20214 yr Author BTW, I am fine with this being both a thread to track disasters that "could" be related to global warming as well as silly banter. We need some levity in CVON. 17 hours ago, DiPros said: If that verifies NO is in trouble, and right on/near Katrina anniversary.

Nah, just a weather nut like yourself
August 27, 20214 yr Global Fire Map by NASA EarthData The NASA earth data fire map accumulates the locations of fires detected by moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board the Terra and Aqua satellites over a 10-day period. Each colored dot indicates a location where MODIS detected at least one fire during the compositing period. Color ranges from red where the fire count is low to yellow where number of fires is large. The About Rapid Response Imagery page provides more information on usage guidelines, product quality, and algorithms for the fire location data. To learn more about the connection between climate change and worsening wildfires, see here.

Kind of the exact opposite of reality. Other than that, cool map.

August 27, 20214 yr Mt. Kilimanjaro Ice Cap rapidly retreats, 85% of 1912's ice cover vanished..recent surface melting not occurred over 11700 yrs The ice atop Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania has continued to retreat rapidly, declining 26 percent since 2000, scientists say in a new report. 85% of the ice cover that was present in 1912 has vanished. It is anticipated to be completely gone in 20 years. Surface melting like that seen in recent years has not occurred over the last 11,700 years. The impact of these events and the precursor that they offer of the trends to follow e.g. - droughts, intensified storms, floods, sea level increase and famine, are all a result of global warming which, according to an organization (IPCC) of 2,500 scientists from 130 countries is a result of human-caused activities that produce greenhouse gases.
August 27, 20214 yr Here's the 11am update on TS Ida-soon to be a hurricane. https://youtu.be/dhHzV0D4BeE
August 27, 20214 yr Antarctic Ice cap unexpectedly growing: Sea Ice in the Southern Ocean Defies Prediction. https://earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/sensing-our-planet/unexpected-ice This dynamic planet just seems to absolutely refuse to surrender to any climate models, doesn't it? Yeah, I like our stubborn little mudball.
August 27, 20214 yr We can’t even convince people to take a life-saving vaccine. I really doubt that we can convince people to do something about climate change until there’s a lot more death and destruction.
August 27, 20214 yr This thread should have started out with the UN report released earlier this month:
