Global Warming P.S.

[mdklatt]

I didn't get a chance to post this in the other thread before Goldilocker got her hands on it.

Here's another nail in the blame-the-sun explanation for global warming. Analyses of daily min and max temperatures have shown that nighttime low temperatures are increasing while daytime high temperatures aren't changing much at all. If you're wondering how the sun can possibly have an effect on nighttime temperatures but not daytime temperatures, give yourself a cookie. On the other hand, that pattern is consistent with an increased greenhouse effect. Imagine that.

You're so going down.

Ever notice how concrete holds heat and is still warm even after the sun goes down? Right now are just about half-way through paving the whole world.

Ever notice how concrete heats up more during the day, too?

I did.

Oh, and Global Warming... BRING IT!

I think people are nuts to believe 100% in all the global warming wackos. Sure things are changing and we may be having a slight affect on it, but all in all to think the world will be unliveable in the next 50 years is assinine.

And P.S. mdklatt, please quit beating this dead horse.

It's just holding the heat not making it.

If concrete is effecting nighttime temperatures it would also effect the daytime temperatures.

[Ardmore_Sooner]

How do you figure? By the time the concrete cools off it will be daytime again absorbing more heat. Retaining the heat and releasing it during the night time.

Well then it's a good thing nobody says that.

And P.S. mdklatt, please quit beating this dead horse.

I'm sorry. I'll quit making you read these threads from now on. Did you ever notice that this is the only global warming thread I've started? And the only reason I started this one was because the other one got locked.

Well first, you and all the other global warming nut jobs like to get on their knees to Al Gore, who in turn says that temperatures are going to insane in the next 40 years. Maybe not unliveable, but after going and listening to him he gives you the vibe that it will be Hell on Earth.

It's cool, just waiting for someone to lock another thread you post in.

THIS WEEK (8-14 APR): Last year was record warm, this year record cold! April is currently tracking as the coldest April in 113 years - a dramatic change from last years #1 warmest ever. Even after some late month moderation, April 2007 will likely keep the month in the top 7 coldest in history. The Southwest is the one exception, but even here temperatures will cool dramatically late in the week. And, the snow is not over! Short range computer models hint at the possibility of a stronger snow storm from Colorado to Wisconsin late in the week into the weekend. This will be the heavy wet variety. The week overall is expected to show the greatest change toward wetter weather in two years - another very big negative for retail sales and for early planting of this years Corn and Bean crop. Weather Trends had forecast this to be the coldest April in 7 years and the wettest in 3 years. It will very likely be the coldest in 10 years and wettest in three. On a more uplifting note, Al Peterlin, Weather Trends International VP, reminds growers, “Planting rates can accelerate quickly after a slow start. Consider 1998 and 2005. In 1998 only about 15 percent of the crop was in the ground by the end of April, in 2005 only about 30 percent. Still, by the last week of May, 93 to 95 percent of planting was complete and final yields were strong.”


NEXT WEEK (15-21 APR): More of the same, although not as wet. Another reinforcing shot of cold air for the East early in the week with more frost and freezes likely in the Middle Atlantic.

Concrete gets hotter during the day. If just concrete was influencing temperature records, it would effect the daytime temperatures as well as nighttime temperatures.

Anyway, here's a discussion of why urban heat island effect (which is more than just concrete) has been ruled out as a possible explanation:

I suppose you think this proves something?

[Ardmore_Sooner]

First of all, I never said concrete was influencing the temperature. I was just saying that concrete heats up during the day and releases heat after the sun goes down.

[Ardmore_Sooner]

I suppose you think this proves something?

And you think global warming is completely real?
