I’m almost tempted to touch on the new study for an even that only happened a few weeks ago that Blames ‘climate change’ for the California fires. It’s almost like they were ready to trot it out. How do you do a study that fast? And all the Credentialed Media are yapping about it. Anyhow
Coastal Georgia snow likely a result, not a refutation of climate change
Last year was a hot one in Georgia but last week’s snow is not evidence we’re headed in a different direction, Georgia scientists say.
“Overall, 2024 was the 2nd warmest year in Georgia on a record extending back to 1895,” Eleanor Partington, a climatologist in the Georgia State Climatology office wrote in the 2024 Climate Summary for Georgia.
“These above-average temperatures are likely due to climate change,” Partington wrote in an email to The Current. “Although year-to-year variation in temperatures can be a result of many variables, such as ENSO, 2024 fits within the multi-decade warming trend that is a result of climate change.” ENSO refers to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, a recurring climate pattern involving changes in the temperature of waters in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean that affects weather in large swaths of the U.S.
It’s great how they can essentially blow off long term Earth processes in favor of a cult, eh?
Given all that evidence of warming, how do scientists explain last week’s snow, ice and frigid weather in Coastal Georgia?
Marc Frischer , Professor of Marine Sciences at the University of Georgia, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography saw the snow and freezing temperatures as a “teachable moment.”
“With the extremely cold weather we had last week I was hearing comments from acquaintances (many folks that I play tennis with) about the hoax that climate change was,” he wrote in an email to The Current.
He posted to an explanation to Facebook.
“Your periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift down into the Great Plains, the post reads. “The frigid temps you’re experiencing happen because of a warming planet, not despite it.”
Can we tell them that the election is over, and they ain’t going to get any of their stupid plans approved for another four years?
Can someone tell me at what point does the artic air quit drifting because it is as warm as the other air?
And what weakens the jet stream??
[…] Here they go again […]
Studies come easily when you start with a conclusion and look for supporting data.
It’s those fussy ones that start with data and need a conclusion that take time.
