Any feel of Climate-change yet? (store, activities, cities)

[wilberry]

I am still waiting for the new Ice age that was predicted in the 1970's . Now climate scientists say the global avg temperature has increased every year for the past 20 years. Old timers used to say it cooled down into the 70's at night in good old Phoenix . that sounds like climate change to me but could be the effect of concrete lots and lots Heat absorbing materials.

I wouldn't look at Phoenix in the Summer in regards to Climate Change...our Urban Heat Island throws everything off. You would need to look at temperature variations in places further out the metro core.

Hmm, why does my SRP bill tell me that the Daily Average Temp in Jan 2017 was 55.2F and this January it was 60.6F. Not a yearly (or decade/century) comparison but not indicative of 1.7 degrees C per CENTURY.

CC is global, Az is local affected by CC.
La Niña is prolonged by CC I recall.
New is all CO2 from burning up so much coal to fast for nature to adapt.
Next comes Methane as much worse.

CC/GW comes before next ice-age and will not balance.

What about returned waste water as next to Mexico, El Paso(?)?

I guess Az would be nice in winter-time, Michigan in summer-time. What is left, not hot, no snow and ice?

We will feel in the next few days when the high in Phoenix is in the 50s. Global warming.

Right....

Precisely. Same goes for "global warming". Er wait, sorry. Its now "global climate change". Which was after they said we were going to enter a "global ice age".


Its called weather cycles, people. The Earth has gone through them since its inception.
