Global warming: It's HEEEEEERE....
Anybody been watching the new data coming out? It's called global
dimming -- no ****, I'm making this up. NOVA had a nice special on it about a month ago. The NOVA website has more info. In a nut shell, solar radiation has dropped 15-30% world wide. This is backed up by something called pan evaporation rate. In essence. . .pans of water are evaporating less water. By how much? exactly the drop in solar radiation -- the photons bouncing off the water are the greatest factor in evaporation -- more so than wind, humidity, etc. Here's the important part. Small particulate pollution makes more reflective clouds. Clouds are water droplets condensed around things like pollen or sea salt. Pollution particulates are much smaller, making much more numerous and reflective clouds reflecting solar radiation back into space. Out come? The cleaner we make tailpipes while still pumping CO2 into the atmosphere, the quicker it will get warmer. Here's the kicker. . .global temperatures have risen by 1 degree C so far. The Global dimming phenomena has kept temperatures down by over 1 degree C. It's gonna be a wild ride in the future. Cheers ! |

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sun/
BTW, this heat news is fairly amusing to me tho. Never had AC my whole life. Was it hot last week? goddamn right. didn't sleep at all Friday before last. But ****, when people talk as if human beings will just flat out die if it gets above 90. Tho, I guess it's like when people who never drive on snow hit trees. When it gets above 90 with high humidity, it's not time to build that shed in back yard. It's time to drink plenty of fluids, sit down, and try not to breath too hard. 92+ with high humidity this weekend here in the midwest. Wish me luck. |

Wish me luck. snip That "Four Corners" high that was tormenting us for a record 18 days is finally moving out, but is now wreaking havoc in the Midwest. Today, we were almost normal for a high, but the humidity was way out of whack and the nighttime minimum was 8°C above normal. |

Many a dinosaur died, so I can get 10 mpg with my 455 Pontiac Firebird- I love it ! One time in the winter, I burned 17 old tires in the backyard, over a period of a few hours- there was about 18" of snow on the ground at the time- burn baby burn- smoke means progress ! |

Hope those toxins from those tire casings made their way into your house. With any luck, the poisoning will wipe you both out. burn baby burn- smoke means progress ! snip No, nowadays, smoke means "moron at work." Charlie Noodles = moron. Simple! |
