Global warming kicking in!

Post by jtbo »

Damn that it is hot, surely we need to crush all our cars to stop global warming :roll:

I'm planning to go Syberia to warm up a bit, it starts to be rather cold here, I mean sure we are used to cold weather and such, but this is summer time, it is bloody snowing even at southern part of country when usually we use t-shirt and shorts at this time of year :shock:

So how is it in your place, any ice and snowmens around?

We've just had 2-3 weeks of warmness (at least, sun with no rain!) yesterday seemingly it was wet in some parts but managed to skirt it down here and was still dry :D

I'm bit envy about your weather, here we have sun too at the moment and temperature is +9C, knickers will suffer if using shorts at this weather :lol:

It has been colder every year at summer time for many years now.

Frozen car, mid summer festival is in bit over 2 weeks.

There was actually bit of sunshine on that photo, but you should note that photo is taken at 2:27AM, which translates to 0:27AM in UK time, actually sun does set for couple of hours, but there is strong glow visible in horizon during those few hours when sun itself is not visible and it does not get really dark outside at all.

As I travel up north, there sun won't set at all, it just shines all the time above horizon day and night. Of course weather is a bitch and there is full set of clouds and rain when I'm up there, it would be just my luck...

BTW, this is what IPCC tells you about global warming:
Image

And here you see same data, only trick is that where IPCC shows you it beginning from 1850, here is time from last glacial perioid that was 12 000 years ago:
Image

Usually what is told, at least in here, is only that first graph and that humans are causing global warming with CO2 and usually reader is left by impression that global warming has just started because of humans and especially cars.

Now what brand of car was causing that warming few thousand years ago? And where is small ice age in IPCC's graph that should be easily visible around 1600-1850, great starvation because of full year winters, is it suddenly gone? Similarily there seem to be gone perioid of warm climate after year 1000, there should be clear visible higher temp trend there, that is what at least geology has revealed.

I smell something fishy with this, but how to get this out so majority would get it too?
