I need to report on warm weather, to counteract the cold weather. http://home.att.net/~thehessians/disasterwatch.html EXTREME HEAT / WILDFIRES / DROUGHT / CLIMATE CHANGE- SYRIA - Drought in eastern and northeastern Syria has driven some 300,000 families to urban settlements such as Aleppo, Damascus and Deir ez Zour in search of work in ONE OF THE LARGEST INTERNAL DISPLACEMENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST IN RECENT YEARS. The country’s agriculture sector, which until recently employed 40 percent of Syria’s workforce and accounted for 25 percent of gross domestic product, has been hit badly, but farmers themselves are worst affected. In some villages, up to 50 percent of the population has left for nearby cities. “Farmers who depend on only one crop are in trouble - they have nothing else to help them and they have to move.” Those with livestock have seen the cost of feed rise 75 percent, resulting in the deaths of up to 80 percent of livestock on small and medium-sized farms. Almost 60,000 families with 100 cattle or less have lost half their animals and poverty levels stand at 80 percent. More than one million people, already bordering on the poverty line because of low incomes, have been affected by the drought. Outdated and wasteful irrigation methods used by farmers are also contributing to the problem, experts said. Syria’s water shortages have been worsening year by year. In 2006, northeastern regions were the first to feel the effects of a lack of rain. Since then, farmers and crop-growers in southern and southeastern areas are now suffering from a major drop in rainfall. So far this winter, recorded rainfall across the country has been higher than in previous years and many are hoping for this to continue into March when water for crops is most needed. "We have had enough rain for the seeds of crops to germinate but there are two threats. If there is no more rain in the drought-affected areas within the next six to seven weeks then we may not have any crop. Also, if these areas experience frost then the crops will be destroyed and farmers will be devastated for another year." With hundreds of thousands having left their farms and communities, this year’s rainfall may go to waste with no one present to farm the land and to grow and cultivate crops. (map & photos) BURUNDI - At least two people have died of starvation and more than 15,000 have fled their homes in northeast Burundi, in the grip of a drought for two months. "The inhabitants of Kirundo have been confronted by famine for the past two months because of a severe drought... The situation is alarming because a lot of people don't have anything left to eat ... We are appealing to all our partners to quickly come to the aid of these people in need." Kirundo, which lies some 230 kilometres (143 miles) north east of the capital Bujumbura, used to be known as the bread basket of Burundi but for the past 10 years it has been subject to cyclical food shortages caused by droughts. CANADA - Vancouver is having their WARMEST WINTER WEATHER IN 114 YEARS while hosting the Olympics. U.S. - While people debate global warming and climate change, Oregon and Louisiana have shared experiences that demonstrate something is up. Oregon is experiencing ONE OF ITS WARMEST FEBRUARIES ON RECORD. At the entrance of some condominiums, the flowers are already in bloom. Small buds appear on trees, presenting themselves since late January. The temperatures linger in the mid 50's to low 60's, while folks walk with light sweaters and coats on days when normally they might bundle up. Winters are milder than they have been historically, summers hotter, snow packs shrinking and unseasonably warm temperatures lead to the type of melting that depletes water supplies needed for agriculture. Environmentalists also point to forest fires and storms becoming more severe. In the meantime violent storms have increased in severity along the Gulf Coast of the United States. The South is, like Oregon, experiencing UNUSUAL WEATHER PATTERNS with snow occurring in the deep South in areas of Louisiana, like Natchitoches, that had more than six inches of snow in early February just days ago. It was VERY UNUSUAL. "All the Japanese magnolia are covered in snow. They're covered with buds, and the buds are covered in snow and ice. And the live oaks' limbs heavy with snow and ice are drooping to the ground." This is an El Nino winter... Nothing to do with the climate change scam... Since the people that know that this whole thing is a scam are called "climate deniers" it's time that we appropriately name those that are pushing this junk "climate liars."

This is an El Nino winter... Nothing to do with the climate change scam... and what name do you suggest for your own mission of denying both?Since the people that know that this whole thing is a scam are called "climate deniers" it's time that we appropriately name those that are pushing this junk "climate liars." California and Texas are getting more rain ... and snow ... because of El Nino. These little variations of weather must be averaged out over the long term to find climate, that is, if they don't lose the data. Since most scientists' offices are rather small, it was probably tossed to be replaced by a new pork barrel study.

A climate realist. http://climateprogress.org/2009/02/23/mit-doubles-global-warming-projections/ M.I.T. joins climate realists, doubles its projection of global warming by 2100 to 5.1°C February 23, 2009 The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Climate Change has joined the climate realists. The realists are the growing group of scientists who understand that the business as usual emissions path leads to unmitigated catastrophe (see, for instance, “Hadley Center: “Catastrophic” 5-7°C warming by 2100 on current emissions path” and below).

Guys I think the game is up
----------------------------------------Looking across the media I think the rabbit is now well and truly out of the hat If I, a telecoms engineer who has watched this whole thing with a bizarre fascination, can successfully fraudcast NASA GISS to within 1/100 of a degree prior to it's monthly announcement - without any access to any monthly temperature info - what does that say about the data? I don't think any amount of http://www.cce-review.org/index.php is going to make any difference. Sorry but we won't wear your spin anymore Mr Gore. Do you think we could now get on with making it a better World for everyone? Dave ![]() |

We seem to be getting cold temps here without the moisture. How does that work I wonder ?
----------------------------------------It has been -C here for ages and no snow for quite a while. (At least 3 weeks). Was -10C last night. I bet the IPCC has a daft explanation for that too. BTW, I do know that is my local weather. [Edit 3 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 19, 2010 8:26:46 AM] |

Climate sceptics are recycled critics of controls on tobacco and acid rain:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/cif-gre...e-change-sceptics-science Today's campaigners against action on climate change are in many cases backed by the same lobbies, individuals, and organisations that sided with the tobacco industry to discredit the science linking smoking and lung cancer. Later, they fought the scientific evidence that sulphur oxides from coal-fired power plants were causing "acid rain." Then, when it was discovered that certain chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were causing the depletion of ozone in the atmosphere, the same groups launched a nasty campaign to discredit that science, too. Later still, the group defended the tobacco giants against charges that second-hand smoke causes cancer and other diseases. And then, starting mainly in the 1980s, this same group took on the battle against climate change. When the emails and the IPCC error were brought to light, editorial writers at The Wall Street Journal launched a vicious campaign describing climate science as a hoax and a conspiracy. They claimed that scientists were fabricating evidence in order to obtain government research grants — a ludicrous accusation, I thought at the time, given that the scientists under attack have devoted their lives to finding the truth, and have certainly not become rich relative to their peers in finance and business. But then I recalled that this line of attack — charging a scientific conspiracy to drum up "business" for science — was almost identical to that used by The Wall Street Journal and others in the past, when they fought controls on tobacco, acid rain, ozone depletion, second-hand smoke, and other dangerous pollutants. In other words, their arguments were systematic and contrived, not at all original to the circumstances. |
