During summer months, Lake Erie is close to
10 degrees warmer then it was back in 1927. Yet,,, there's still people that claim, that global warming is exaggerated. Southern Atlantic Ocean Temperatures approaching 90 degrees in some spots. Lake Erie, isn't far from reaching hurricane favorable temperatures. However, there's not even close to enough area for a full hurricane to form. There is however plenty of space for strong storms to form off of the lakes waters, and come across PA. This is what I believe happened to us at one point this past summer. Official explanation? Rapid changing temperatures of a cold front caused moisture to form rapidly, giving us strong storms. One official tornado was reported with these thunderstorms. Moisture from where? The news didn't report where that moisture came from. My explanation is the waters of Lake Erie is getting that warm during summer months, that the water is evaporating at rapid rates. During high pressure, it's not all that apparent. But when low pressure is in the right place, at the right time for long enough, it condenses into clouds, and can cause nasty weather. Thank god, the lakes large enough for hurricanes are far from being warm enough to even get started. Cause for alarm this winter? Much, Greenland has just lost quite a bit of ice fast. The cold from it is sinking fast, causing an unusual slow down of the normal current. It is causing a cool down in air temperature in the area. I believe this is going to be a slightly cooler then normal winter for us here in PA and other coastal states in the New England area. I have this feeling in my gut, that Erie PA will not be the only part of PA that will get Lake Effect snow. What's interesting, is Lake Erie's winter temperatures get close to the 1927 normal temperatures. Give or take, a few degrees. Minor, compared to summer temperatures. Links links links,, I need links I guess. http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/laketemps/lktemp.html 2005 = http://www.erh.noaa.gov/buf/laketemps/2005.htm 1927 = http://www.erh.noaa.gov/buf/laketemps/1927.htm I love the buffaloes on NOAA's background.

Modern traps are far more accurate but no big differences are involved especially when considering the atmosphere heights considered then and now. And it's the same with statistics over a period of years where the differences are mere degrees. Wholesale failure to realise you can't compare mean temperatures with one-offs or means taken over a short term. It is a meaningless exercise. It's like saying the average position of the sun is overhead because if you average its position morning noon and evening that's what you get. You get a spate of high temperatures because of runs of exceptional weather and you end up with the results that were written about in the bible, now and again things happen. You can't say it is global warming. We do know that poor land management leads to destructive repurcussions as for example bad farming techniques from the 1870's and earlier lead to the dust bowl famines of the 1930's in the USA. The same is true of the floods a decade earlier when they removed all the trees in the Mississippi watershed and then wondered at the flooding. The same is true in Britain where virtually all our natural marshland is drained, almost all our rivers turned into sewers and those that are not are tightly constrained, then we get a wet year and houses that were built an hundred years ago are flooded for the first time. Ah we built new housing in flood plains and then global warming came and killed our families. Nuts to that. |

Ah we built new housing in flood plains and then global warming came and killed our families. Nuts to that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nuts to what? Global warming? It's a reality, and we're seeing the worst of it coming. 15 - 20 years ago, I would've never thought about the idea that storms could possibly come off of Lake Erie, the waters were too cold for that. During the winter, the water between Russia and Alaska use to frees over. People use to venture across that ice to freedom before Russia switched to a democracy. That ice don't raze over anymore. The south pole. In the last 20 years, over 6 pieces the size of Rohde Island broke off of it. Revealing the land underneath it. You say about weather gages and other measuring tools. The old metal devices are still very accurate. My father worked at a place that made the metal. Which has been being used longer then either of us. When the new tools for measuring temperatures don't work, you can always count on the old ones, with only a degree margin of error. If anything has been inaccurate, the old style barometers were sometimes inaccurate. Look through each and every reading of the temperatures have been climbing since 1927. This pattern gets faster as you approach the beginning of the 90s. And even faster yet when you hit the millennium. We didn't have all the power plants in 1927 that we have today. Which adds to it. We had much less cars on the road back in 1927. Hair spry cans, which were outlawed, due to the harm they were causing. I'd like to see what things would be like if it wasn't for all of that. Look at Greenland. Also, look into the normal north Atlantic current on the NOAA's pages. It's rather slow, compared to the normal flow. Hurricane eye's are sometimes much bigger then normal. And the storms themselves have become larger. Do to the rotation of the earth, I believe a hurricanes winds cant get much faster. So the only place they're going to get stronger, is by growing in total size. All of this has been proved, and has happened. I cant ignore that fact anymore then I can ignore my own nose. Fievel...

Yes all that happened and it was considered to be a start of the ice age by people like you who now see the beginning of the new not ice age. I wouldn't get upset about it if I were you. And I'd certainly hold off any more stentorian comments about it. You are only going to look silly when the pundits start pushing another angle. But you are free to sound off as and when you like. You'd have more success railing against Deibold and any other illegalities of the evil regime in your country for all the good it will do. As for me, well we can't even get decent weather forecasts in my country. So that's what badgering from Usenet will accomplish if my heroic efforts are anything to go by. |

If you live anywhere near the northern Atlantic Ocean, you have to worry. If you don't, it'll just get a little colder. They have it wrong, and they probably know it. It just sounds better to suggest it's going to be a global ice-age. If we do have a global ice age, it'll probably be region by region, giving plenty of time to move to where it's warm, then back again. I doubt it's going to be like (The Day After Tomorrow) It'll be interesting though. Seeing how everyone gets ready, and stays warm. A full winter of below 0 temps, but probably not to the point, we cant survive. Fievel,,.. (Keep watching the skies). |
