It's been said that "weather" is the average of extremes.
Last winter we saw freezing rain in Georgia (of all places) that turned the roads and highways into skating rinks so that people had to abandon their cars on highways and seek shelter in truck stops and garages along the highways. Last winter we saw an ice storm in Toronto that caused tree limbs to fall and take out electric power lines so that tens of thousands of people didn't have any electricity for weeks on end. Last winter was the coldest winter on record for Winnipeg, Manitoba where I live. This winter, so far, we've seen the area south of Buffalo receive over 6 feet of snow in a little over 24 hours in two separate snow falls. From what I can see, the winters seem to be getting colder as of late, rather than warmer, and that just doesn't fit well with conventional theory that things should be getting warmer. |

Regardless of whether global warming exists, it seems to me that by our blowing millions of tons of carbon dioxide into the atmostphere every day with our car's tail pipes, that increased level of carbon dioxide SHOULD manifest itself in some way.
One would expect that the result of engine exhaust fumes would be more CO2 dissolving in the waters of our oceans, lakes and rivers. Algae are green because they survive by creating their own food energy by photosynthesis. If there's more CO2 in our air and waters, one would expect large algae blooms as algae absorb more CO2 and H2O and sunlight and combine them to produce sugar. The more food there is in the environment for the algae, the more algae we would expect to see. But, I really haven't heard of large algae blooms being a problem anywhere. Whenever we hear of large algae blooms, the finger is always pointed at phosphorus enrichment in the water from fertilizer runoff from agricultural land (farms, mostly), never as a result of increase CO2 levels in our air and water. Is there a reason why we're not seeing huge algae blooms in our oceans as a result of the increased level of CO2 in our atmosphere (and presumably rivers, lakes and oceans?

Nestork, Why do you think this is on topic in AHR? Personally, I have very little interest in your ignorance. Algae blooms are on the rise, oceans take up minimal amounts of C02 (26%), and they take up less when the water warms up and they take up less after absorbing C02.

Per nestork:
From what I can see, the winters seem to be getting colder as of late, rather than warmer, and that just doesn't fit well with conventional theory that things should be getting warmer. I think it's more a matter of average global temperature/heat than any particular local experience. Doesn't seem like that much of a stretch for warming-induced disruptions to cause the jet stream (whatever *that* is.... but it seems to affect our winters a lot) to sag south - and the jet stream sagging South appears to correlate with much of our wintry weather here in Southeastern Pennsylvania. -- Pete Cresswell |

But, why it would be displaced south as a result of global warming, and why that jet stream would bring colder weather at ground level is stuff I don't know and my expectation is that no one knows those things. If they did, the weathermen would be educating us about what's happening and why, but they don't seem to know anything about it. It just goes to show that we have the potential to upset the delicate balance that is the climate of this planet without knowing where it will end up. So far as I know, no climatologists were forecasting that global warming would have any effect on the jet stream until movement of the jet stream further south during the winter became apparant. Then they made a connection, but that's hardly reassuring to those of us that presumed they knew what they're talking about when they forecast global warming. They seem to be as much spectators in this global warming spectacle as the rest of us. Last edited by nestork : November 25th 14 at 05:02 AM |
