2014 the hottest year than ever

Published in Linkedin: 2014 the hottest year than ever (30/12/14)
Cretaceous was an age which everybody imagines as a global tropical world. In fact and long terms is true, but in this long period it could happen more climates. However there was very quiet period, always we compare with current time; and it has singularities that it goes away to the ideal tropical climate. Cetaceous was hot; but ironically tropics no more than current, while polar seas (there wasn’t any continent in there) was as warmed current areas. Unlike today Cretaceous climate haven’t great differences in relation to latitude, the heat was efficiently transported to the poles by the oceans. Planet hasn’t a significate temperature gradient, so winds was only an anecdote, and it means that more part of land emerge (without continental ice of Antarctica level sea was more of 200 meters higher than today, The great flood) was a desert (read The day after Tomorrow where explain little the importance of distribution of continents and current climate).

This presentation tray to explain how difficult is stablished the degree hot of any time period. Nowhere have the same orographic shape every time, and climates evolve with it; Cretaceous and today aren’t comparable. To say “the hottest year than ever” is a phrase surely false. All Cretaceous if we could apply the same parameters of today was hotter than any of the 26 million years. Unfortunately we can’t apply; temperatures or localization of real sites are only estimates. Therefore we can compare 2014 with the last 100 years, and the answer is yes; 2014 is the hottest year from we have real meteorological data.

Some people can’t believe this. 2014 began with polar vortex, tree chips caught in the Antarctic Ice, and Climate Deniers blaming about the imminent arrived of Ice Age. Even then global main temperature was higher than other similar north winters. Today I write near of Mediterranean Northern Coast, but temperature in street is -6 Celsius degree in a town at 300 meters above sea level, hot compared with current temperatures in northern Europe but very cold compared to normal for the time. But satellite data confirms the opposite of our perception seems. It may seem a contradiction but it has a very easy reason other sites of North Hemisphere are temperatures higher than normal for the time; in fact just one week weather in my town was as beginning of fall, and the last month (November) weather was as summer.


The supposed Global Warming Hiatus or Pause is only an invention of Climate Skeptics, who’s taken partial data for corroborate their hypothesis. In the beginning of 2013 (winter is the better time to publish denier postulates) some corrections of the IPCC model and the Britain Met Office Scandal about some e-mails that affirms falsifying data, were the trigger for the campaign to the Global Warming Hoax. Two item are true; but the main data before, while and after scandal were contrasted, and models are always correcting. All model parameters adjustment that corrects when compared with reality; in other hand more boundaries are adding after when it see their needed. For example melting ice are beginning to be relevant in the moderation of temperatures; when main temperature are low melting was insignificant, but current temperatures melting more ice, melting ice waste energy without change of temperature; the current models proves to including the melting ice (read Really are temperatures stopping its rice?). However even correction all the models foresee a rise in temperature.

Data is concluding: Earth is warming day by day. There are satellites that scrutinize temperatures around the globe. There are also controlling the thermal forcing, is to say the balance between the energy that enters and leaves. Climate is in the eye, because every year increases the amount of economic losses that causes. And only the other economic interest, the interest of fossil energies which doesn’t want to lose their business.

The carbon bubble

Imatge
Atmospheric CO 2 is arriving other time at 400 ppm . Obviously last moths it was under mythic threshold but to follow the sawtooth graphic seems that the problem was overcome, but on the contrary graphic trend is growing in exponential. However as I related in “ Are 400 ppm of CO 2 the border to beginning the Armageddon, or not? ” to pass the threshold doesn’t mean that climate begins a spiral of weather disasters. Deniers, in their crusade against the evidence in climate , have profit of a cool winter for beginning their ridiculous idea of Global Cooling . Global Cooling is possible but to put tones of CO 2 in atmosphere isn’t a solution because Earth will be heating until CO 2 and temperature will take other time the equilibrium; but in other hand high CO 2 could do a rebound effect which will carry climate to the Ice Age (read “ The day after Tomorrow ”) CO 2 is growing and nobody does anything. The more powerful oil industry moves all of its influences for to stop ...

The prophets of the doom

Imatge
In 1997 after two years of negotiations some countries signed the climate protocol in the third climate summit in Kyoto. Twenty-two summits after the ridiculous advances fade away like the fog. In the time of climate disasters denial is strong as never and carbon industry grows desperately. The title is the name give for Donald Trump to the climate activist. Despite we are far to the doom, really doom is getting closer to us every day. However economy is turn its eyes and insists to give the same advices about how we are to tackle the future. Economy is kidnapped by the money and these at the same time by the oil. The prophets can be annoying when say that you wouldn’t listen, especially if you know that they are right . The storm is here Why economy doesn’t want to listen to the prophets? This is the real question of the climate mess. If a new virus takes prominence, world make all the necessary measures to front the illness; in the other way endemic illness is hi...

We don't know what we're betting

The countdown has probably already completed and Climate Change is inevitable, however to persist in making the same mistake will only give us the things to become worse. The oil and coal lobbies have won the game of democracy. Polls continue to support who helps coal and oil industry . No matter the manifestations of April 2017 and many others can be made, the reality is who talk about “climate is normal” or minimize impact of it, has more credibility than all studies and proves of nature. I could recall previous articles about the reality that we perceive (see " Ignore the evidence ") but the question is more complex than we might think. Warming without stop In 2007, the world economy was blown up. The reasons are many but the main thing is that the world's wealth, or rather, what we understand how global wealth really doesn’t exist. Billion and trillions of euros is just a number in a computer. 90% of transactions in our world they are financial , and these...
