Now this is only a regional effect experienced in one particular month, so I can’t say this means global warming is over. However, if Ireland had experienced the warmest September in 14 years, I’m sure global warming activists everywhere would be using it as definitive proof that the world is warming. Anyway, the temperature across the country never rose above 20 degrees anywhere - which is a first in 30 years. Average monthly air temperatures were about a half-degree below normal.

I guess this is why global warming has been renamed to climate change.  More rain has been predicted as a consequence of climate change.  James Bruce, a Canadian climate change expert, says that rain events may double in Canada around the end of the century and that changes in the environment are more disastrous than that predicted by the IPCC.  I suppose the 9% increase in Arctic ice this year, the Antarctic ice growing over the last 20 years, record snowfall and cold temperatures in places around the world last …

NAS reports that we are in a 50 million year cooling trend thanks to plate tectonics. Original carbon-rich sea floor that was pushed under tectonics plates that came into the atmosphere as carbon through volcanic eruptions, which warmed the planet, was suddenly shut off 50 million years ago when India collided with Eurasia, forcing India’s plate over the zone that was the previous source of carbon.

I recently read an article over at the Duke Chronicle that discussed the link between global warming and hurricanes and, more importantly, the inability to link global warming and hurricanes.  The article says that Hurricane Ike reignited the debate of whether or not a link exists between hurricanes and climate change.  Having done my own study on the connection between tropical systems and temperature, I can tell you that I didn’t see any connection.  Activists, however, see things differently.  Al Gore recently tried to link the two, citing higher temperatures …

(Via Heliogenic Climate Change).  Fewer severe tropical cyclones around the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico when sunspot numbers are high is the basis of the relationship between hurricanes and solar activity.

The NOAA claims that the summer of 2008 was the ninth warmest on record.  However, according to this article at Watts Up With That, the satellite temperature measurements dispute this claim.  The NOAA claims the summer of 2008 saw temperatures at 0.85 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century mean of 60.1 degrees Fahrenheit.

I was waiting on this one.  Right Wing News is reporting on an article out recently that blamed big oil’s lack of “urgent search for solutions to global warming” on Hurricane Ike.  Yup.  Mother Nature bats last, according to the article, and big oil has set up phony debates on whether or not global warming exists and if its caused by humans.  Right Wing News does fire back with the obvious, though:  what about the large hurricane that slammed into Galveston in 1900?  Where were all the SUVs then?  Look, …

Off the southern coast of Australia, a problem with extreme waves has been detected over the last 45 years.  Wave heights have gotten larger and larger waves have increased in frequency, especially during the autumn and winter months.  A link has also been made between climate change and extended monsoon seasons in northern Australia.
