I'm just not seeing a big increase in ch4 from Fracking.... It's certainly not showing up in monitoring data. China and Russia just signed a big natural gas agreement, the purpose is to phase out coal. I sure hope this works, it could directly reduce co2 emissions and reduce black carbon emission.
-
It is interesting. There is actually a downward trend from 1999 till 2005.
-
Perhaps methane is the key to the puzzle and not co2.
-
There are far more concerns with coal. Mercury, acid rain and localized pollution. Most charts I see, show methane levels flattening out compared to the 1984-2000 level of rise.
-
The link doesn't work for me. I'm guessing it might show an increase in global methane concentrations paralleling the increased use of fracking?

Big funding slashes in Austrialia climate studies. I knew big-climate was profitable, but never to the tune of $5 billion a year in Australia alone! http://guardianlv.com/2014/05/climate-change-research-axed-in-australia/

We need the population to go down regardless of what the future climate holds, fossil fuels have resulted in the greatest advancement in human history, but they aren't limitless. Beyond that, who really wants a crowded planet anyhow. I'm not so sure the population is growing unabated, birth rates are decreasing in most of the developed world.... The Chinese are suffering from localized pollution and this looks to halt runaway growth, India is in a similar situation. Many anthropologists see a peak of 10 billion humans before a gradual decrease.

That's a ballsy prediction with the fact that global food production keeps going up and up. Prices are high, but a good chunk of that can be attributed to expensive diesel.

There are 7 rankings. The two extreme rankings can only be used for 2 years. That leaves 5 rankings to split with 118 years, coming out to a span of approximately 26 years of rankings per classification, when infact the NCDC only uses 12 for the "Well above Average and Well below Average" years, that means the (plain Above Average and Below Average) is assigned 31 years of range. The problem is that using only the top and bottom 1/10th of ranking years to 2 of the ranges does distort what the map is trying to display. Michigan climate division 9 was only colder 14 out of 118 possible years, using the 2 extreme of warmest ever and coldest ever being left off. Considering the wording is more or less for quick glance consumption, this could be improved. Is the NCDC map wrong... No, I agree that its accurate. I'll concede to making a mountain out of a molehill.

Not buying what your selling. This is manipulation for the masses. Ashvilles +0.1 above average should not have the same categorization as Lansing Michigan's -9.2. There is no way to wiggle out of this one Friv. It looks terrible.
-
I put this together after it was pointed out on a few "Denier Sites" I'm really trying to figure how they came to this maps conclusions. This type of map will end up as a media release, completely glossing over and basically removing an otherwise COLD February. Ashville, NC for February +0.1 = Above Average. Hartford, CT -5 for February = Near Average. Just disgusting.
-
That's probably why its classified as an arid region. It doesn't mean the rainfall comes in steady intervals, more likely it comes in waves and periods.
-
In century: 2000-2014. That's possibly true by the end of the month.
-
There's no doubt, this California situation is bad.... The snow in their mountains is in bad shape.
-
Nice job tinkering with the intervals to make each month look more extreme.
-
This winter locally has been colder than many 1970's winters. Maybe not on a national level, but locally it has.
-
It's quite rare for there to be coast to coast cold.... Infact its nearly impossible, but the heartland is easily going to have a top 10 coldest January. That graphic is going to look much different by the end of the month. One half of the country is dealing with enjoyable weather and the other side is dealing with life endangering cold. The hockey/drought post was pretty much following Jeff Masters usual hyping of warmth. We know where he stands and we know what he shines his spotlights on when he feels the need to squash weather news he doesn't feel helps his cause.
-
Nobody is dying from lack of water and the populated center of the county is dealing with record daily cold shots. This is a FAR biggest issue that outdoor hockey and severe drought that's effecting 5% of the populated land mass of this country. COLD > WARM right now. Winter Storm warnings in Houston??? Nah.... Drought and warmth in California is WAY more interesting. He's a total tool.
-
The country is dealing with one of its coldest January's on record and what does Dr. Doom have to focus on.
-
Anyone who states that we are warming faster than anticipated is a liar, plain and simple. We have under shot the lowest scenario.
-
That's a real bummer.... I wonder if an active storm season would change those water temps, its definitely piled up against the coast.
-
Chinese cod is putting people out of business, the lobster industry has been taken over my Nova Scotia lobster hauls. American origin cod has been dead since China started processing Northern European cod. Has NOTHING to do with 3 degree warmer water off the coast. Whatever the situation is off the northeast coast, I feel for those people, but as a whole, Chinese seafood has been a thorn in my side. I don't particularly like selling Chinese product, but there isn't anything else competitive out of the atlantic. Yes, I said China and Atlantic in the same sentence, these are Norwegian companies shipping their Norway caught product to china on a freezer hold ship.
-
Where are you at? I'm trying to figure out what you are taking about? Are you trying to say the thin strip of warm water anomalies along the NE is some global epidemic. BTW, I'm in the seafood industry and I haven't heard a word about fishing issues relating to warm water. The only thing I am aware of is the lobster glut from warm coastal waters, but that limited to the coast and has been beneficial to the industry so far.
-
This would mean there is a new mechanism to the heat exchange. It's very logical to think it's going into the deep, that makes sense.... But why would this be new, surface temps used to rise within the same system, but now have slowed down.
-
Unless you have the data, preferably raw and adjusted, it's just speculation. The OHC was "rapidly rising" for decades and so were surface land temps, now land temps are flat and OHC charts changed trajectory after a more accurate network went into action. So, either the heat is simply missing or forcing was erroneously over estimated in the past.
