The Climate Change Thread

[Retro]

I've not heard of that one, but sure, the stuff spewed out of volcanos does affect the climate.

 

[Tiffany]

I think any sort of change in the climate that lasts for a very long period of time can affect regional climate changes (eg. mini ice ages). An example of regional changes would be the country of Iceland. Iceland has periodic volcanic eruptions that can even cause the grounding of planes, however, these type of regional disruptions may not reach other continents in forms of changing temperatures. The sea, however, is a predominate cause of temperature changes around the world, in my opinion.

Another unwelcome climate change surprise.

Climate change: Sudden heat increase in seas around UK and Ireland

Scientists say water temperatures are as much as 3 to 4C above the average for this time of year in some areas.

Interesting, I'm a bit concerned about our hurricane season for the reason in this article that the sea temperature is warmer then normal. We are now in a brutal heat wave for the next two weeks. I can't even recall a June month with 37C/100F plus temperatures and I've lived here my whole life.

Always happens. Hence why we have an electrol party called the greens worried about how hot the planet is getting.

....and to think that there are idiots who still deny climate change; same derelicts who deny the holocaust ever happened.
My heart cries for the ocean creatures who live in the fast warming waters, too fast for them to adapt; and the bears, seals, whales, birds, whose whole existence depends on the vast ocean and its inhabitants.
Yes, Nature adapts, but not in such short time scales.
It is a tragedy of immense proportions.

We have the Green Party here as well, but sadly, is is very fringe. People just don't give a damn.

where i live there are people who love the environment a real lot.
everyone in my town is on board with keeping ballarat in touch and up to date with the recomendations from our council.

I bloody knew that 40C weather would be back.

I remember the weather experts saying it was likely a one-off caused by climate change, but I was skeptical of that. It was the worst thing ever over those two days and I won't be able to stand it at home. Last year, they hit during the working week, where I was protected by the air con at work, but if they hit over the weekend, I'm stuffed. I'll bet it lasts longer, too. I get the impression that global warming is ramping up much faster than predictions. June is already the hottest ever.

UK likely to see 40C weather as Britons get respite over the weekend

A bright start expected in the east before clouds moving from west causing outbreaks of light rain

Always happens! Summer always brings back stinking hot weather.

So, you don't like it hot either? The problem must be a lot worse over in Oz, which is a naturally hotter country than sunny Blighty.

Hot days mean three things
1) getting all the washing done
2) having the air conditioner on all day
3) having icecreams

 

[Retro]

Ah, aircon. If only I had that.

Buy one! You need it

 

[aussiefooty]

If you rent ask your real estate or landlords to get one installed

 

[Tiffany]

I can't imagine not having air conditioning.

The carbon footprint they are trying to eliminate is you.

Mine runs only for the hot days.

does that mean that nights cool off to below 25? (the overnight low here is 28 tonight... yay heat wave)

I know, seriously....sigh!

Same; March to November (sometimes we have to switch back and forth as the seasons change and the nights get cold).

Lucky you; energy costs are getting outrageous.

I use a gas heater in winter, air conditioner when it's above 25*C in summer, a column heater at night if nights are under 5 degrees.

Yup its all artifically orchestrated by commies which are the nwo...

It's the same for Texas LOL

What part of the globe is your domicile?

I use a gas heater in winter, air conditioner when it's above 25*C in summer, a column heater at night if nights are under 5 degrees.

I'm thinking of portable AC or a inwall/window unit to only cool where I am going to be as Central AC here runs on 240VAC. Now we have a gas heater but I rearly use it and just use blankets.

Might be on a wild tangent:
Nuclear, coal/clean coal, Natural Gas and solar, along with waterfalls, all combined with each other help with energy distribution.


Heck I know in Australia they use/used a petrol converter setup, sort of like a LOX converter bottle on Fighter Airccraft for autos.

Why not for LH2 and LNG- which can be retrofitted to Gasoline and diesel burners?

Where i am my AC works well and it's up above my back door which is handy. The motor part is outside
