July 21, 2024 was the hottest day ever (updated date)

If it happens ................. well, go check out the Day after Tommorrow or any of those climate flicks.

Countless negative effects for the Human Race. Weather, Agriculture, Fishing, who knows how the coast lines will be effected.

 

22" is no joke even in sandy soil like Florida!

 

Well, everywhere I look I read about "under the Ice" torrents bleeding water out at VASTLY under-anticipated rates in Antartica and Greenland.
RAPIDLY speeding up the melting process. If the Ross Ice Shelf breaks off in Antartica, it will be very bad news indeed according to scientists.

 

That movie was insipid. It probably hurt the cause more than it helped it.

We actually know how the coastlines will be affected. Keep an eye on Antartica and Greenland. Move inland.

 

The worst news possible. Glad I live in the midwest, though this would be bad for everyone.

If the Ross shelf collapsed, for example, the resulting flow of glacial ice could eventually raise global sea level by up to five meters (sixteen feet).

Almost feel bad for the local weather guys, they keep predicting rain but nothing comes.

 

For all the rhetoric about climate change extremists, it just seems like we are trending towards worse scenarios. Years ago I read something from Jeremy Grantham - an investor but also interested in climate change, that by their nature scientists are typically conservative and it is more than likely that actual outcomes will be more towards the worse side given that.

Also, while I fully support most of the measures we are taking on climate change, my gut feel is the horse is out of the barn and once the process starts it is hard to stop.

 

Dade and Broward also

 

It's all hoax by commies trying to control you and steal your freedom. Drill baby drill and gotta run, late for that giant tire fire.

Rain to snow equivalence varies, based on the density of the snow. One source suggests that 1" of rain = 13" of snow. With that the 22" forecasted for south FL would be 286" of snow (23.8 ft). That's about triple the annual snowfall total here in northern MN and we get a heck of alot of snow. This is a massive rain event down there. Stay safe everyone.

 

we are having an above average rain year in north tx and we are about 30 inches YTD. Compared to 22 inches in a few days in south FL. Brutal.

 

We can't get a drop of rain where I'm at in volusia. It's miserable and yet they are drowning to the south.

 

Tangentially related, I did a summer of research on Ross Island on the Ross Ice Shelf. It was amazing. We studied the Antarctic fish, so we had to drill holes in the ice. The sea ice was probably 8-9 ft thick at that time. One of our fishing huts was on the ice shelf itself. I think it was 18 feet of ice there with fresh and sea ice combined.

The Ross Sea is so protected that it is the same temperature in winter as it is in summer, -1.86C. My advisor found that the fish there are one of the only animals to actually lack a cellular response to warming temperatures. As a result, the fish would die if we kept them even at refrigerator temperatures. Also a few of the fish there, called icefish, lost the ability to produce hemoglobin in their blood, so they can appear translucent. Ok end of geeky tangent.

 

Poor Mexico
