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

Why?? According to the lunatics, we're too far gone as it is. Might as well throw that money at proxy wars and whores. Live it up while we can.

 

Nothing to worry about here. The earth's temperature has risen and fallen many times in the past so it's totally natural.

Not only is Florida sizzling in record-crushing heat, but the ocean waters that surround it are scorching, as well. The unprecedented ocean warmth around the state — connected to historically warm oceans worldwide — is further intensifying its heat wave and stressing coral reefs, with conditions that could end up strengthening hurricanes.

Much of Florida is seeing its warmest year on record, with temperatures running 3 to 5 degrees above normal. While some locations have been setting records since the beginning of the year, the hottest weather has come with an intense heat dome cooking the Sunshine State in recent weeks. That heat dome has made coastal waters extremely warm, including “downright shocking” temperatures of 92 to 96 degrees in the Florida Keys, meteorologist and journalist Ben Henson said Sunday in a tweet.

On the other hand, this will be the coolest year we will experience for the remainder of our lives

 

Whoa, there’s some breaking news. It’s 90 degrees in July in Florida.
If you libbies aren’t stressing out over something, you’ll find something to worry about.

 

Can’t wait for Man/Woman (the brilliant lefties who push the idea Man/Woman are the problem)…to set the temperature where they desire it. They know how apparently. $20 says they are the ones with their AC set at 72 right now…

 

Article on various city’s likely inadequate attempts to prepare for our new world


But experts warn those steps might not be enough in a world that is seeing heat records consistently shatter and with continuing inequality in who is most vulnerable.

“I don’t know a single city that is truly prepared for the worst-case scenario that some climate scientists fear,” said Eric Klinenberg, a professor of social sciences at New York University who wrote a book about the Chicago heat wave.


Klinenberg said that the United States has so far gotten lucky with the duration of most heat waves, but that electrical grids vulnerable to high demand in some regions, along with persistent social inequities, could spell serious trouble in the coming decades.

The story was about the extreme high temperature of the gulf waters around Florida. That doesn't concern you?

 

I don’t worry about highs and lows.
I am concerned with people who cannot see the bigger picture.

 

What's the bigger picture?

 

I think you know this.
The earth probably goes through periods of cold and hot.

 

Oh, cool. So we're probably good then. We should ignore all the experts that predicted exactly what's happening and just go with your probabilities?

 

Experts predicted exactly what is happening?
Really.

 

Climate Change stands as evidence that people cannot live without religion.

 

Eh, they probably only got it 90% right. That's why I'm sticking with your gut instincts.

 

Sea water near Tampa hits record-setting 90ºF - Kevin Drum

In the summer the water is always warm off the Gulf Coast of Florida. But this summer is off the charts:

"Not sure I've ever seen the water around Florida look quite like this before... at any time of year," says Brian McNoldy, the researcher at the University of Miami who created the map. The purple mass stretching from the coast off Miami, around to Cape Coral, and then up to Tampa shows that water temps there are currently over 90°F.

Plus both the Arctic and Antarctic ice masses are setting record lows. And there's been yet another "1000-year" flooding in upstate New York. Those floods sure seem to occur a lot more often than every thousand years these days, don't they?

Oh, and we've just endured the hottest few days on earth in the past 100,000 years. Perhaps it's time to do something more serious about climate change than hold a few talking shops?

 

We should be careful with these predictions. It is likely that this year is a local peak in temperature based on the El Nino cycle (while it is not near the peak in solar activity). So we will likely see some decrease from this year in the next few years before the cycle makes it peak much higher than even this year. The issue is that the slope of the entire cycle is positive and pretty substantial at this point, so the cooler years will be warmer than previous comparably cooler years and the warmer years will be warmer as well.

 

I realize that. The overall trend line, etc. But it's a pithy saying which captures the essence and burns through.

And while El Nino causes a local peak, does it cause a peak in global average measures? I appreciate that we may not have local temperatures this hot or hotter every year, for that and other reasons, but that does not impact global averages, or am I wrong?
