[Changing Attitudes: Climate Change]

 WYorksWeather wow why am I not surprised by your statement. 

So it appears that changing attitudes to climate change means a hardening of attitudes that holds no truck with anyone who may disagree in the slightest with your definition. 

Perhaps this thread should close because no matter what your opinion might be if it differs your a denier.

To be clear therefore I'm a denier. Unbelievable

I have a simple question. 

Why given the last 18 months of above average temperature is no one talking about the  effect of Hunga Tonga and laying the blame on CO2 climate change when the research suggested temperature would rise as a result of the event?

You see more electric vans in urban areas because this is where the majority of van journeys are made. Most trade people and delivery's occur within a 20 to 30 mile radius of there main location.

 TonyH Why 90%? I can tell you now if you had a 90% reduction man would not exist. Utter baloney.

 raz.org.rain We are seeing population decline which has absolutely nothing to do with climate change. World population levels are predicted to peak in the next 50 years tops then decline part of the natural cycle especially as women become more independent and not at the behest of men. 

[Changing Attitudes: Climate Change]

Population will collapse because we all become better off. If it wasn't for immigration the UK population would already be in decline.

One issue I have in regard to the whole climate change discussions is that each element of emission is taken in isolation without a fully rounded discussion on consequence.

An example is electric cars. As a singular subject electric cars are less polluting in carbon terms that petrol or diesel in regard to emissions. However this carbon cycle needs to factor in also the degradation to our roads due to increased weight hence the need for greater/more often renewal. The additional pollution of greater tire degradation and thus greater tire wear. The need to change battery assemblies at least once in the life time of the vehicle. If you added the whole carbon cycle I am certain electric vehicles wouldn't look so attractive.

If you watch my video closely you will see the sea water actually coming through the wall below the coping and lower down in several places. Shows the power the sea has.

So why are we seeing increased and earlier ice formation particularly for this winter?

for what its worth we know that snow fall can help in the formation of sea ice. We have seen this winter an increase in the intensity of both rainfall and snowfall which I would suggest is a result of the extra water vapour in the stratosphere, as a result of Hunga Tonga, making its way back to earth. This increase in intensity of any early snowfall would in my opinion have helped in the early ice formation this year. We may well see this next year also but thereafter unlikely.

 toggerob not from the sunspot that is bristling with energy for x class flares but departing sunspot 3575 close call today!!

 Polar Maritime And just about as earth facing as possible. it will be interesting to see what impacts it has.

[Moans, ramps and banter]

I do find it interesting how much hype some people put on this cold spell give any snow fall is transient and for the most part Restricted  to higher elevation. 

I want snow to lower elevation for a week then it might be worth talking about 

[Winter 2023/24 Chat and Discussion]

I see GB news are quoting Netweater charts for the 800mile wide snow event that is coming!!!

4.0 and 83mm please

[Model Output Discussion - Colder but how cold and for how long?]

It would appear that the usual members are beginning to write off early Feb despite it being over 2 weeks away.  When did 17 day charts verify?

Enjoy the next 7 days then reassess the beginning of next month not before. 

I fully expect surprise snow fall in this coming week 

[Model Output Discussion - Colder but how cold and for how long?]

A lot of gnashing of teeth tonight for what has been well advertised by the likes of Tamara and Met4.

Have faith we have a cold dry spell incoming which will be very welcomed by those areas recently flooded. A brief less cold spell we should see the cold reestablish itself.

It’s a bit off topic but I’ve read some papers and the amounts of atmospheric rivers 2023 going into the start of this year has been unprecedented so I can sort of see what you are saying without having seen any solid solid evidence. It needs studying more I think 

I agree a lot of research ongoing and ultimately it will in my mind show its impact on the NH winter whether its extra snowfall or increased artic ice. Its the added unknown in science terms that will change a good winter period into an exceptional one.

 

[Yorkshire and E England regional discussion - Dec 2023 onwards]

We need dry ideally with cold and sunshine at least for a good few days

The Chiefs game against the Dolphins forecast to be the 5th coldest in NFL history this weekend.Forecast high at 5pm Kick off is -2F and drops to -5F at 7pm.Hope Taylor Swift wraps up warm for that game!That is brutal.The coldest game in history incidentally was then the Dallas cowboys played Green Bay Packers in 1967- It was -13f for that one!!Insane

Could you see our pampered footballers even getting to the  dressing room door!!

Well the chances are it will not be that extreme!! Obviously I’m not forecasting that hahaha but it has the same ingredients! What it will be if it plays out is widespread 20cm+ in my opinion

All the extra water vapour due to hunga tonga will show its hand in shear intensity of any snow fall as I said back in November.  Get your very large shovels ready!!
