If I was to claim this has been the quietest Atlantic Hurricane Season since 1982 with just 2 and given that no Hurricane this year, in the Atlantic, has been greater than Cat 1 arguably this has been the quietest year since 1977.
----------------------------------------What would you say? 36 years since it was last this quiet in the North Atlantic Basin Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Atlantic_hurricane_seasons Dave |

What if I told you that there's more Sea Ice at the Poles than at any time since 1996

What if I told you that in October 2013 there was 3,464,000 sq kms of extra snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere than the 1981-2010 average
----------------------------------------and for a bit of perspective pointed out that India is 3,287,590 sq kms What would you say? Oct 2013 ranks 7th out of the last 46 years See http://climate.rutgers.edu/snowcover/table_rankings.php?ui_set=1#namgnld Remember we are being told relentlessly that the Globe is warming |

"What would you say?" I'd say your messages are unwelcome in the MSM. I don't know how to search at the BBC, but NPR (US stepchild) has a nice search feature. Here are
----------------------------------------the on-air reports mentioning "climate change" in the last 7 days The current list is:
That last one is really special, isn't it? [Edit 2 times, last edit by Harriscott at Nov 8, 2013 12:19:48 AM] |

----------------------------------------The BBC cannot do a Nature Documentary without some mention of Climate Change. They are incapable of just presenting the beauty of our Planet. It is now in their DNA. This is followed by all of our Broadsheets. There's no reference to the current facts Today as a Hurricane rips through the Philippines it will be attributed, without a doubt - with special mention at next weeks Polish Conference- to the 0.039352% of the Atmosphere that is CO2 as though this has never happened before. It has and it always has. We do not influence the weather. It does what it does. We just have to keep as many people as safe as possible when these natural events overtake us and help those living with the consequences after the event. That is all we can do. Dave |

Every new development in the study of our climate is definitive proof that the science is NOT settled:

On the Global Thermometer I have 2 weather stations recording valid info 24/7 from the Philipines
----------------------------------------They are at Manilla and Masbate. Masbate was closer to the path of the "Super Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda" Here's the raw data in my database from the weather station at the peak of the storm RPVM 072100Z 29007KT 8000 -RA SCT020 OVC080 26/23 Q0998 A2948 LGT RA CONTUS 2013-11-07 21:14:55 RPVM 072200Z 22005KT 6000 RA SCT020 OVC080 25/24 Q0997 A2946 MOD RA INTMT 2013-11-07 22:15:00 RPVM 072300Z 21009KT 5000 BKN020 OVC080 25/24 Q0996 A2941 MOD RA CONTUS 2013-11-07 23:15:00 RPVM 072300Z 21009KT 5000 BKN020 OVC080 25/24 Q0996 A2941 MOD RA CONTUS 2013-11-08 00:14:51 RPVM 080000Z 21025G36KT 5000 BKN020 OVC080 25/24 Q0993 A2932 MOD RA CONTUS 2013-11-08 01:14:27 RPVM 080200Z 19029G44KT 5000 BKN020 OVC080 25/25 Q0992 A2929 MOD RA CONTUS 2013-11-08 02:14:31 RPVM 080300Z 17029G41KT 5000 BKN020 OVC080 25/24 Q0994 A2935 MOD RA CONTUS 2013-11-08 03:14:20 RPVM 080400Z 16021G33KT 6000 BKN020 OVC080 26/24 Q0995 A2941 LGT RA CONTUS 2013-11-08 04:14:49 RPVM 080500Z 15020G31KT 9999 BKN020 OVC080 26/25 Q0996 A2943 LGT RA CONTUS 2013-11-08 05:14:41 RPVM 080600Z 16018KT 8000 -RA BKN020 OVC080 27/24 Q0998 A2948 2013-11-08 06:14:48 RPVM 080700Z 16018KT 8000 -RA SCT020 OVC080 27/24 Q1000 A2954 2013-11-08 07:14:53 RPVM 080800Z 14006KT 4000 -RA SCT018 OVC080 27/24 Q1002 A2959 2013-11-08 08:14:57 The hieroglyphics look a lot worse than they are, the wind speed is the block ending KT (for Knots 1 knot=1.15077945 mph) The first 3 characters are the wind direction in degrees (180 being due South for example) followed by the average windspeed and if it's gusting a second value after a G So in the first line the wind is coming from 290 degrees ~WNW at 7Knots or just over 8 mph The worst line on there is 29 Knots gusting to 44 Knots or 33.3Mph gusting to 50.6mph from the South The storm passed between Masbate and Cebu The Atmospheric Pressure is in mm of mercury after the Q and Inches after the A in this case divided by 100 Now those are the real reading from the Weather Station in Masbate We had worse in the UK last Saturday than in Masbate on the 8th I suspect that the damage and loss of life was down to the quality of the housing People were living in, the flying debris as a result and the Storm surge on the Coast which is why we are seeing images of cars overturned - by waves not by wind. Again this wasn't a "Super" Typhoon although windspeeds may have been higher in the actual eye of the Storm. I am not suggesting that the People of the Philippines don't need our help - they do. I'm just trying to add some truth to the discussions you will read elsewhere This has already been seized upon by the Alarmist Crew in light of the opportunity afforded by the fact that the IPCC meeting begins tomorrow in Warsaw See http://350.org/about/blogs/super-typhoon-haiyan-wake-call-un-climate-summit The reality is that 2013 has, globally, been below average for Hurricane/Cyclone activity with an Accumulated Cyclone Energy 74% of Normal compared to 1981-2010 average with the North Atlantic particularly calm http://models.weatherbell.com/tropical.php The Philippines, like Florida and the Gulf Coast have always suffered from Typhoons See http://agora.ex.nii.ac.jp/digital-typhoon/summary/wnp/s/201330.html.en This is the dispassionate scientific side of me reporting the recorded facts That people are suffering and have lost loved ones troubles me greatly as did the Boxing Day Tsunami and the Japanese Earthquake, the associated Tsunami and Nuclear Disaster. But let's not claim that we collectively created this Storm as this never happened before the Industrial Revolution began Such a claim would fly in the face of the truth Dave |
