Hi Gerald that 56C is still in the NOAA data !
----------------------------------------It's not like the temperature data is used to justify the building of potentially life threatening Nuclear Power Stations or anything insane like that now is it!! (And then it dawns on him where http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/OINR.html is !!) closing that radioactive loop http://www.ecolo.org/documents/documents_in_e...radioactivity/ramsar.html You learn something new every day |

Arctic Ice Continues To Grow At A Record Rate--- http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2010/09/26...to-grow-at-a-record-rate/ Dave that was interesting--i wonder what the difference would be in the surface mining out west of Uranium to the inhabitants--??

I love "record rates" marysduby. Record declines record increases record loses record highs record lows. This is what happens when that record is 31 years in total and just 8 with the JAXA record.
----------------------------------------It's bouncing back very nicely. Who knows it might be inside 2009 shortly. The website can't keep up with the rate of return the downloadable csv is now regularly higher than the figure given on this page http://www.ijis.iarc.uaf.edu/en/home/seaice_extent.htm As for the Uranium, it is best left in the ground thinly distributed around the globe instead of being brought together and refined into a few very hot spots Just my opinion Today i have a new record average low in my Global Thermometer 14.43C at 0800GMT/UTC/ZULU and a real -13C here http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/PAKP.html Being heavily biased Stateside and land based so mostly Northern Hemisphere it's going to breaking new cold records most days until around mid February - if my code is right  . It's trending down nicely which is a good sign.Get ready for Winter folks it will probably be as bad if not worse than last year. Must get me a job today Dave |

The National Academy of Sciences:
----------------------------------------The compelling case that climate change is occurring and is caused in large part by human activities is based on a strong, credible body of evidence, says Advancing the Science of Climate Change, one of the new reports. While noting that there is always more to learn and that the scientific process is never "closed," the report emphasizes that multiple lines of evidence support scientific understanding of climate change. The core phenomenon, scientific questions, and hypotheses have been examined thoroughly and have stood firm in the face of serious debate and careful evaluation of alternative explanations. "Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for — and in many cases is already affecting — a broad range of human and natural systems," the report concludes. It calls for a new era of climate change science where an emphasis is placed on "fundamental, use-inspired" research, which not only improves understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change but also is useful to decision makers at the local, regional, national, and international levels acting to limit and adapt to climate change. Seven cross-cutting research themes are identified to support this more comprehensive and integrative scientific enterprise. The American Geophysical Union: The Earth's climate is now clearly out of balance and is warming. Many components of the climate system-including the temperatures of the atmosphere, land and ocean, the extent of sea ice and mountain glaciers, the sea level, the distribution of precipitation, and the length of seasons-are now changing at rates and in patterns that are not natural and are best explained by the increased atmospheric abundances of greenhouse gases and aerosols generated by human activity during the 20th century. Global average surface temperatures increased on average by about 0.6¡C over the period 1956-2006. As of 2006, eleven of the previous twelve years were warmer than any others since 1850. The observed rapid retreat of Arctic sea ice is expected to continue and lead to the disappearance of summertime ice within this century. Evidence from most oceans and all continents except Antarctica shows warming attributable to human activities. American Association for the Advancement of Science (pdf): The scientific evidence is clear: global climate change caused by human activities is occurring now, and it is a growing threat to society. House of Commons Science and Technology Committee (pdf): In addition, insofar as we have been able to consider accusations of dishonesty—for example, Professor Jones’s alleged attempt to “hide the decline”— we consider that there is no case to answer. Within our limited inquiry and the evidence we took, the scientific reputation of Professor Jones and CRU remains intact. We have found no reason in this unfortunate episode to challenge the scientific consensus as expressed by Professor Beddington, that “global warming is happening [and] that it is induced by human activity”. American Chemical Society: Careful and comprehensive scientific assessments have clearly demonstrated that the Earth’s climate system is changing rapidly in response to growing atmospheric burdens of greenhouse gases and absorbing aerosol particles (IPCC, 2007). There is very little room for doubt that observed climate trends are due to human activities. The threats are serious and action is urgently needed to mitigate the risks of climate change. American Meteorological Society (pdf): Indeed, strong observational evidence and results from modeling studies indicate that, at least over the last 50 years, human activities are a major contributor to climate change. Direct human impact is through changes in the concentration of certain trace gases such as carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and water vapor, known collectively as greenhouse gases. American Physical Society (pdf): The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth’s physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now. Joint statement by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Chemical Society, American Geophysical Union, American Institute of Biological Sciences, American Meteorological Society, American Society of Agronomy, American Society of Plant Biologists, American Statistical Association, Association of Ecosystem Research Centers, Botanical Society of America, Crop Science Society of America, Ecological Society of America, Natural Science Collections Alliance, Organization of Biological Field Stations, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Society of Systematic Biologists, Soil Science Society of America, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research: Observations throughout the world make it clear that climate change is occurring, and rigorous scientific research demonstrates that the greenhouse gases emitted by human activities are the primary driver. These conclusions are based on multiple independent lines of evidence, and contrary assertions are inconsistent with an objective assessment of the vast body of peer-reviewed science. Moreover, there is strong evidence that ongoing climate change will have broad impacts on society, including the global economy and on the environment.

I've been looking through this active NOAA weather station database of mine
----------------------------------------and here are the stats 2808 stations active 94.8% in the Northern Hemisphere The breakdown goes like this 1498 USA 276 Canada 81 France 62 UK 53 Germany Russia 49 Italy 48 Brazil 42 China 32 Sweden 31 Australia 28 Saudi Arabia 28 Iran 26 Finland 25 Norway 25 Turkey 23 Algeria 22 Malaysia 19 Spain 18 Argentina 17 Greece 16 Romania 16 Japan 13 Netherlands 12 Belgium 11 Denmark 11 Portugal 11 Tunisia 11 Ukraine 11 Chile 10 India 10 Slovakia 10 South Africa 10 Kazakhstan 8 Poland 8 Hungary 7 Morocco 7 United Arab Emirates 7 Austria 6 Colombia 6 Croatia 6 Peru 6 South Korea 6 Thailand 6 Bulgaria 5 Cuba 5 Czech Republic 5 Serbia and Montenegro 5 Uzbekistan 5 Yemen 5 Cyprus 4 Greenland 4 Iceland 4 Mexico 4 Afghanistan 3 Ecuador 3 Ireland 3 Lithuania 3 Slovenia 3 Switzerland 3 Taiwan 3 Azerbaijan 2 Bolivia 2 Bosnia and Herzegovina 2 Dominican Republic 2 Honduras 2 Israel 2 Latvia 2 Libya 2 Madagascar 2 Mauritania 2 Netherlands Antilles2 New Caledonia 2 New Zealand 2 Oman 2 Pakistan 2 Philippines 2 Republic of Congo 2 The Republic of Macedonia 2 Venezuela 2 Vietnam 2 Albania 1 Antigua and Barbuda 1 Aruba 1 Bahrain 1 Barbados 1 Belarus 1 Benin 1 Bermuda 1 Brunei 1 Cape Verde 1 Chad 1 Christmas Island 1 Cook Islands 1 Costa Rica 1 Cote d'Ivoire 1 Diego Garcia 1 Egypt 1 French Guiana 1 French Polynesia 1 Gabon 1 Gibraltar 1 Guadalupe 1 Guatamala 1 Guinea 1 Grenada 1 Hong Kong 1 Indonesia 1 Jordan 1 Kenya 1 Kuwait 1 Kyrgyzstan 1 Lebanon 1 Liberia 1 Luxembourg 1 Macau 1 Maldives 1 Mali 1 Malta 1 Martinique 1 Mauritius 1 Moldova 1 Mongolia 1 Namibia 1 Niger 1 Nigeria 1 Panama 1 Papua New Guinea 1 Paraguay 1 Qatar 1 Reunion 1 Rwanda 1 Saint Lucia 1 Senegal 1 Seychelles 1 Singapore 1 South Georgia 1 Syria 1 Tajikistan 1 The Bahamas 1 Togo 1 Tonga 1 Trinidad and Tobago 1 Tuvalu 1 Turkmenistan 1 Uruguay 1 Virgin Islands 1 I don't know about you but reading this list makes me think I must travel whenever I get the chance. It's a big World out there many places and cultures I know nothing about It's heavily biased 38 degrees North and 77 degrees West and not all countries are represented However... It's the closest thing we have to a Global Thermometer Dave [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Sep 27, 2010 10:32:18 PM] |
