Florida’s coral reefs are facing what could be an unprecedented threat from a marine heat wave that is warming the Gulf of Mexico, pushing water temperatures into 90s Fahrenheit.

“We’re entering uncharted territories,” said Derek Manzello, an ecologist and the coordinator of NOAA’s Coral Reef Watch program.

Six more weeks and it won't be hot. Be funny if the coming winter was one of the colder ones.

My place in March.

Is this par for the course, this time of year? Has it always been like this? Notice anything weird, strange or unusual, with this much snow in March?

A little above average for the year, but not unusual for an elevation of 7,000 feet. Drawing and concluding data on a year by year basis is irrational, especially if that summary only includes that last hundred years or so. Man will destroy man long before he destroys this planet. Earth will survive just fine and spit us out like the speck of dust that we are.

Fair enough Zona. For the record, you do not consider this factual information from NASA? You believe this is leftist, liberal hogwash and reject it out of hand?

• While Earth’s climate has changed throughout its history, the current warming is happening at a rate not seen in the past 10,000 years.
• According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), "Since systematic scientific assessments began in the 1970s, the influence of human activity on the warming of the climate system has evolved from theory to established fact."
• Scientific information taken from natural sources (such as ice cores, rocks, and tree rings) and from modern equipment (like satellites and instruments) all show the signs of a changing climate. From global temperature rise to melting ice sheets, the evidence of a warming planet abounds.

"Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal."

I won't argue that carbon dioxide levels haven't risen in the past 200 years, just not sure how much of an impact any of us can have on it, short of mass extinction that is.
Everyone driving a Prius won't put a dent in it. The earth has seen higher levels, albeit millions of years ago. Developing nations (India, China) aren't going to play along;
our efforts will be as frustrating as Don Quixote's stance against that windmill, and lowering our standard of living in the process. Batteries have their own issues, and developing hydrogen is years in the future, if ever. The biggest problem is our reluctance on going nuclear.

The Hockey Stick!!!

Thanks fuc kin Tibtard!!

Haven't seen that one in few years. You will be able to scare the **** out of the young ones with this one.

Good job on the cut/paste!

Extra Soma for you!

For Fuc kin Tibtard, from his pals at the NASA:

From the start of satellite observations in 1979 to 2014, total Antarctic sea ice increased by about 1 percent per decade. Whether the increase was a sign of meaningful change is uncertain because ice extents vary considerably from year to year around Antarctica. For three consecutive Septembers from 2012 to 2014, satellites observed new record highs for winter sea ice extent. These highs occurred while the Arctic was seeing record lows.

The climb came to an end in 2015, and significant decreases in sea ice around Antarctica started to occur in 2016. There have been small rebounds in recent years, but nowhere near the record high of 2014.

Within Antarctic sea ice, there is variation from place to place around the continent. Sea ice extent has increased somewhat in the eastern Ross Sea sector, while it has decreased in the seas around the Antarctic Peninsula. In short, Antarctic sea ice shows a nearly flat trend, but large-scale variations make the trend very noisy.

The mathematical models are horribly flawed, because they do not consider the feedback loops in nature. That is, when one part of an ecosystem gets increased or decreased, it naturally causes other effects, some of which can mitigate and some that can enhance the trend. But you have to know these variables, the interactions at small and large scales and the mathematical formulae to mimic same ---- and then put all that into a climate model, ensure all the data is excellent and then hope that all the formulas are correct.

But math geeks cannot even figure out how to mathematically model water flows with eddies, like you see in every river and stream, and in all those incredible rains (FWIW, my town had two "hundred year floods" because of crazy heavy rainfall, in three years; all normal since), so there is just no way to figure out the chaotic effects in this massive system around the planet. Imagine the effect of a 1% brighter or dimmer sun. Sunspots are sorta cyclical, so the astronomers mostly get them right, at least in order of direction (more/less),but they cannot get great accuracy......so if the sun is a bit hotter, or a bit cooler, or has a few extra sunspots, well, the IPPC and all other models are useless, and so is any attachment of that to human behaviour.

Same old folks wanting to control everyone's freedom is all.

This is all you need to know about lefties and their claimed concern about global warm ... "climate change":

They think we're stupid, mainly because they spend so much time with imbecile left-wingers.

- Heat advisories and excessive-heat watches and warnings have been hoisted in 14 states. They stretch continuously from Washington state along the Canadian border to the Mexican border in the southwestern United States, and additionally cover parts of the Gulf Coast region from Texas to South Florida. More than 100 million Americans are under alerts.
- For the first time on record, an excessive-heat warning has been issued for Miami on Sunday. “Dangerously hot conditions with heat index values up to 112 [are] expected,” according to the National Weather Service.
- Europe is also facing a brutal heat wave. The Italian island of Sardinia could hit 117 degrees on Tuesday, approaching Europe’s all-time record. Rome may shoot past its all-time record of 105 and make it to 108. The heat may relent late this week, but return early the following week.
- China recorded its highest temperature on record Sunday as Sanbao climbed to 126 degrees (52.2 Celsius). It marked the highest temperature recorded north of 40 degrees latitude globally, according to weather historian Maximiliano Herrera.

It's just great that you have more fear porn to peddle, always political.

Yikes, says lots about you.

Hungary is soooo terrible, with such bad leadership, nasty policies, etc. that you keep working second shift at the Java joint to be online here at all hours spewing vitriol, instead of bringing your family back to the wonderfulness that is your hero Gavin Gruesome's Commiefornia, the wonderful crown dumpster-fire of Sleepy Creepy's emerging Amerika.

Naw, no one here is for dirty water or air; temperatures getting hotter or colder depending on the months of the year.
As I said earlier, fighting climate change for the most part is pointless, we aren't that important. Of course it is a profitable industry for some.

Really is a race to the bottom with some of you.

Instead of addressing the facts of the memes....that electric power comes at SUBSTANTIAL cost and negative outcomes...you double down on stupid.

For the course.

Indeed it is. I live in the Mid-Atlantic. We don't get Canadian, or New York, or Michigan level snow.

But like hurricanes hitting the south periodically, we get blizzards every now and then.

I have pictures from being a ten year old shoveling out from a blizzard. Snow far higher than my head.

When my kids were about ten, we got a 3 foot plus blizzard in the DC area. I spent two hours shoveling out a square and a path just so my dogs could go outside to go to the bathroom. The snow was so high it covered, literally, the windows of my basement office because of drifts that were 4 feet high.

It's not abnormal. You've just been conditioned through fear and propaganda to believe it IS abnormal.

You are the problem. Because you believe the lies.

Since 1960 there have been 50, 60, 70 doomsday predictions we have posted here, including Greta Dumbberg's. Not ONE has come true. Not one.

But keep buying into their fear they control you with.

I just want to know how they measured carbon dioxide levels from 800,000 years ago.
