2007: So Far, So Hot

thermometer.gifThe National Climatic Data Center have released their summary of global climate findings, as of April. Worryingly, the global average surface temperature was the, 'warmest on record for January-April year-to-date'. Basically, this year has so far been the warmest ever. They go on to say that, 'anomalously warm temperatures have covered much of the globe throughout the year.'

April taken as a single month was the warmest on record for surface temperature, and snow coverage was also unusual, 'April 2007 snow cover extent for the Northern Hemisphere was the third lowest extent on record, and it has been below average in 15 of the past 20 years.' :: NCDC

When Good Storms Go Bad

Strong storms have the energy equivalent of many megatons of Hydrogen Bombs. They receive their energy from the heat that evaporates waters of oceans and lakes.

Heat and storms are directly related. The greater the heat, the faster the atmosphere becomes saturated with moist, warm air which is required for storm production. Since the rate of evaporation is increased as the temperature of the Earth rises, it is only natural that the rate of storm formation and of storm intensity should also increase.

Just make sure your home insurance policies are in effect and don't trust companies that tried to weasel out of payment in the Katrina disaster.

Hottest on record, key word: record. Human record keeping is very small in comparision to the age of the planet. Enough said.

ps. I believe in Global Warming, I am just saying, keep that in mind.

We are wrecking the planet at an alarming rate, but what that rate is can be argued. Our history is so very small and insignificant from a time standpoint.

By that logic, we can basically know nothing that goes beyond a hundred or two hundred years back.
