September 29, 20214 yr Ivory-billed woodpecker and nearly 2 dozen species declared extinct. Quote The factors behind the disappearances vary — too much development, water pollution, logging, competition from invasive species, birds killed for feathers and animals captured by private collectors. In each case, humans were the ultimate cause.
September 29, 20214 yr Have you ever had a woodpecker terrorize your house at 2am? Yeah, the more of them that go extinct, the better. Speaking of, I'm gonna go burn some fossil fuels to speed things along.

Tornadic thunderstorms need an unstable atmosphere - warm air trap under cool air. 70 degree days and thunderstorms are both rare in the Midwest in December. Indications so far are claiming this is the longest tracking tornado ever recorded… and it happened in December. This is a weather AND climate phenomenon.

Warm weather was a crucial ingredient in this tornado outbreak, but whether climate change is a factor is not quite as clear, meteorologists say. It’s complicated. Scientists are still trying to sort out the many conflicting factors about whether human-caused climate change is making tornadoes more common — or even more intense. About 1,200 twisters hit the U.S. each year — though that figure can vary — according to the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory. No other country sees as many. Attributing a specific storm like Friday's to the effects of climate change remains very challenging. Less than 10% of severe thunderstorms produce tornadoes, which makes drawing conclusions about climate change and the processes leading up to them tricky, said Harold Brooks, a tornado scientist at the National Severe Storms Laboratory.

December 13, 20214 yr On 12/11/2021 at 11:53 AM, sameaglesfan said: You all do understand that climate change is distinct from local weather, no? Yes. Climate is not weather, they are distinct. However, the weather might be a clue the climate is changing. An incredibly strong quad-state tornado is rare, even more rare in December. Is tornado alley moving east? As you say, it is complicated. More data is needed. Unless you believe the old man in the sky controls all the weather. Then climate change has nothing to do with it. There was another thread for that. LINK
