Tech Global warming: greatest sham in science

Mmmm mmmm.

Tastes like bald eagle.

 

But as any El Niño researcher will tell you, no two El Niño events are alike, and the impacts from this one aren’t guaranteed to be just like 1997-1998.

The most obvious difference between this year and that event, clearly visible in the animation, is the “blob” of warm water off the west coast of North America, a symptom of the relentless high pressure pattern that has kept the West hot and dry over much of the last few years and led to the deep drought in California.

California Drought Linked to Natural Causes, Not Climate Change

The ridge and its accompanying drought are opposite the conditions that climate models predict under global warming, lead study author Richard Seager, a professor at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in New York, said today (Dec. 8) during a news briefing. Climate models project low-pressure systems off the West Coast, with wetter winters and drier springs for central and northern California, he said. "Overall, it's a shorter, sharper rainy season," Seager said.

The current drought is not part of a long-term change in California precipitation, which exhibits no appreciable trend since 1895. Key oceanic features that caused precipitation inhibiting atmospheric ridging off the West Coast during 2011-14 were symptomatic of natural internal atmosphere-ocean variability.

Model simulations indicate that human-induced climate change increases California precipitation in mid-winter, with a low-pressure circulation anomaly over the North Pacific, opposite to conditions of the last 3 winters. The same model simulations indicate a decrease in spring precipitation over California. However, precipitation deficits observed during the past three years are an order of magnitude greater than the model simulated changes related to human-induced forcing. Nonetheless, record setting high temperature that accompanied this recent drought was likely made more extreme due to human-induced global warming.

 

You said

NOAA says, NOT!

Your link talks about the high pressure ridge affecting El Niño. Not global warming scam.

Typical of alarmist global warming claims.

The drought is man made, though. The government is directing vast amounts of fresh water to the ocean instead of the aqueducts that have been used to irrigate the central valleys and Southern California.

Not CO2. Bad policy.

 

It doesn't matter where water is or isn't being diverted if their isn't any rain or snow. The drought in California is because a lack of precipitation. How you guys use the water is up to you but you first have to actually have the water before your argument actually holds water. (See what I did there?)

 

1 day is not a trend.

A trend is this -


Portland is on pace Tuesday to set an all-time record for 90-degree days in a calendar year.

When the temperature hits 90 this afternoon -- OK, if, but forecasts call for a high of 97 to 100 -- it will mark the city's 25th 90-degree day of 2015, eclipsing the previous record of 24 set in 2009.

What's more, the record may stand for only one day. The National Weather Service is expecting another scorcher Wednesday, with temperatures reaching 94 to 98.

According the weather service, June had nine days of 90 degrees or higher, July had 12 and August had three. The annual average is 12.

What was the high temperature record for that date in Newport before 1914?

 

Again, it doesn't matter who says what about where and how to use the water if there is no water to use.

It's like arguing over if a truck that gets 20mpg is better than a car that gets 40mpg when there is no gas to fuel either vehicle. The focus should be on how to get more fuel, not how to use the fuel that no one has.
