Thread: Any doubts about Climate Change?

The Last Two Novembers are the Warmest Novembers on Record

November 2016 was the second warmest November in 136 years of modern record-keeping, according to a monthly analysis of global temperatures by scientists at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York.

November 2016's temperature was 0.07 degrees Celsius cooler than the warmest November in 2015. Last month was 0.95 degrees Celsius warmer than the mean November temperature from 1951-1980.

The top two November temperature anomalies have been the past two years. 2015 was the hottest on record, at 1.02 degrees Celsius warmer than the November mean temperature, followed by 2016.

Shrinking glaciers are ‘categorical evidence’ of climate change, study says

The study, just published in Nature Geoscience, is the latest in the relatively new field of attribution, where scientists identify the fingerprints of human influence on observed changes in temperature, rainfall, and other climate parameters.

Attribution studies typically focus on specific extreme events. Recent research has found, for example, that climate change boosted the odds of the UK’s very wet winter in 2013-14 by 43%. Another paper identified how many extra deaths there were in London and Paris during the 2003 summer heatwave because of our warming climate.

Rather than an event of a few hours, weeks or months, the new study looks at how glaciers have changed over the past century.

The near-global retreat of these rivers of ice “seems improbable” without the influence of climate change, the paper says, but most studies to date have only been able to test this theory on a few glaciers at most.

So the researchers collected together records of glacier length for 37 glaciers in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australasia. The records were selected for their length and completeness – the longest goes back to 1534.

Whether a glacier retreats or advances each year largely depends on its mass balance – the difference between how much snow it receives and the amount of its ice that melts away. Glaciers that lose more mass through melting than they gain from snow will shrink and retreat back up the valley.

The results suggest for all but one of the 37 glaciers, there’s a more than 90% probability that their retreat is a result of a change in climate. In the vernacular of the IPCC, this level of likelihood means it is “very likely” that the changes are attributable to human-caused climate change.

For 21 of the 37, the findings are even more emphatic. They find that it is over 99% likely – or “virtually certain” – that glacier retreat is being driven by climate change.

The truth hiding in the usual biased article :

The Problem – Lack of Freshwater

Within the porous limestone of the Everglades, just a few feet below the surface in some places, lies the massive Biscayne aquifer, which supplies almost all of the freshwater to Miami and surrounding cities. In the past, much of the water that flowed languidly from Okeechobee would replenish the aquifer, the limestone acting as a natural filter. But without the river, and with water constantly being pumped out to nearby residents, saltwater from the gulf and the Atlantic has begun to contaminate the aquifer and the plants above it.

Looking Toward the Future

But in order to make a lasting difference, humans will need to end their reliance on fossil fuels and animal agriculture, both significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions.

About your link. It’s a nice short read. Hope more people open it up.

You might want to start your own thread so everyone can follow it, as I once did:
