I can't break it down into its separable parts, just off the top of my head, but that kind of information is available online for climate policy wonks like cliffw to review.


The average daily high in Phoenix over the 31 days of July was 114.7 degrees, making July 2023 the city's hottest month on record and surpassing the old record, set in August of 2020, by a staggering 4 degrees Fahrenheit.




Was that because of Global Warming ? Did Global Warming also cause the 5" of snow to fall on Hawaii a day or so ago ?

There has already been discussion of how this year of 2023 shapes up statistically as confirmation of Global Warming. That includes the long string of 100+ temperature days that made July 2023 the hottest month ever recorded for Phoenix.

This snow in Hawaii has precedent. There is snow at the higher elevations of Hawaii, where the volcanoes rise up, but it's mostly rain across the islands, away from the higher elevations. It pales in significance, compared to the way that 2023 has brought on the heat in so many places around the world, and in both the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres.

Nope.

Phoenix warming is not Global warming. I have addressed this misconception before.

I think I could find reports online that have meteorologists and climate researchers saying that the July weather in Phoenix has the fingerprints of global warming caused by greenhouse gases.

And I could find reports online that say Travis Walton took a ride on a flying saucer.

I don't fear Global Warming. Evolution is a good thing.

The ilk you hang out with are worried about a one degree increase in 100 years. Yet, they want to overload the electric grid whereas many will experience 20 to more degrees of uncomfort when power goes out.

You have refused to answer my questions about global warming.

Hell, same here in NJ, lots and lots of deer. All I need to do is look out my window at just about anytime and there they are. Makes the trip to and from work interesting, especially during the rut. Insurance companies bare the brunt of it through comprehensive coverage of a deer impact. And it's not global warning, it's all the open space being eaten up by developers, "suburban sprawl"; where are they supposed to go? Cars have turned into their "natural predators".

That's nonsense. You wouldn't keep repeating that if you would take the time to learn a decent amount about what "the ilk I hang out with" are actually saying. I don't mean reading scientific research reports, but reading or viewing summaries of Global Warming that are created for non-specialist readers—like you and me.

I think it's easy to find "Global Warming 101" (summary or overview) kinds of videos on YouTube.

Some of these presentations could have "Climate Change" instead of "Global Warming" in their titles, which is something to keep in mind when using keywords as search parameters.

I am not shy. If you really believed in Global Warming you would be educating us on where to go to listen to them.

An rinselberg-endorsed YouTube video, 14 minutes from start to finish. Just the first few minutes alone are informative. It has the imprimatur of the PBS or Public Broadcasting System. It was posted to YouTube on September 6, 2022... so just over a year ago. Recent and relevant.

"What Will Earth Look Like When These 6 Tipping Points Hit?"
https://youtu.be/MBKZWKeKYqE


quote
A “tipping point” is when a system, with just a small amount of additional energy, is pushed from one stable state to another suddenly and dramatically. This can be a chair falling backwards. Or it can be a major earth system collapsing. The IPCC recently identified 15 potential climate-related tipping points that scientists have grown increasingly worried we are getting close to crossing due to global warming.

In this episode of "Weathered," we look at 6 of the major candidates, how they are all interconnected and influence each other, and what it would mean if they were triggered. These tipping points or tipping elements are the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, the Amazon rainforest, global monsoons, the AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) and the earth’s permafrost and coral reefs.

The consequences for any of these systems being pushed over the edge would be truly catastrophic and would encompass everything from massive droughts, loss of biodiversity, increased flooding, heat waves, large scale climate migration, food shortages, and much more.

"Weathered" is a show hosted by weather expert Maiya May and produced by Balance Media that helps explain the most common natural disasters, what causes them, how they’re changing, and what we can do to prepare.
