CitizenVectron Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 NASA confirms summer 2023 was Earth's hottest on record | Space WWW.SPACE.COM "Things that we said would come to pass are coming to pass." Quote The new analysis, done by Willis and his team at the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) in New York, comes just a day after a different team of scientists warned human activity has taken the world beyond a safe operating zone. Six of the nine so-called planetary constraints of the global environment, which assess how much humans have deviated from the pre-industrial world, have been breached, the team had found. Quote "Unfortunately, climate change is happening. Things that we said would come to pass are coming to pass," Schmidt, said in the recent statement.

BloodyHell Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 One of the wettest and coldest here. I realize that’s obviously not the norm, im not a climate change denier whatsoever and this is just a different extreme of climate change. Rivers are higher than they ever have been during even the spring, and our forests are pure swamps with standing water everywhere. Our moose season starts next Sunday, and the marsh our scaffold is in is more like a lake. The river my house is on is 3-4 feet higher than it’s ever been, regardless of time of year, and the beaver pond I fish trout in is completely washed out after 70mm of rain last Friday evening and Saturday. weirdest summer ever. Cutting firewood has been awful, working in pools of water all over our property. At least it’s cold enough that we aren’t dealing with bugs.

marioandsonic Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Um it's summer, it's SUPPOSED to be hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I had gotten to a place where I had tricked myself into being somewhat optimistic about climate change, but after this summer I'm back to we're fucked mode. It just seems like it's gonna progress at a rate that is cumulative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Meanwhile we had the 3rd coldest summer in 130 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big thing for us is that we have had almost 5 times the precipitation (my weather station was replaced in late January and missed a nice chunk of snow), we are currently at 15.99" and still have a bit to go.

Same in Utah. Less intense heat for a shorter duration too. It was nice to have a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 It's been cooler but rainier here, which is odd. Probably means we are in for a hot October and November, very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I know we had a record stretch of 90s in June or July(?), but overall, it felt less Summer-y than usual... here in MI. But with the oceans are cooking our fish for us, I accept NASA's findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
