Water vapor has always evaporated into the atmosphere, whether the ocean is warm or cold. The cycle of life is that humans give off carbon dioxide C02 that plants use and in turn give of oxygen, O2. It is factories belching out fumes from smokestacks and car exhausts giving out carbon monoxide, C01 that causes pollution. This concept of greenhouse gases, C02 is part of the cycle of life, not bad. This whole theory put out by NOAA sounds a bit far fetched to me, and more like cowtowing to the present administration. Depending on who is President governs how government agencies work. When Bush was in, NOAA never talked of global warming. Now Obama is in. He is pushing global warming so now NOAA publishes article after article and quite biased all to make Obama happy. Just having a PHD doesn't necessarily make one all knowledgeable.
Abnormally hot days and nights, along with heat waves, are very likely to become more common.
- Cold nights are very likely to become less common.
- Sea ice extent is expected to continue to decrease and may even disappear in the Arctic Ocean in summer in coming decades.
- Precipitation, on average, is likely to be less frequent but more intense.
- Droughts are likely to become more frequent and severe in some regions.
- Hurricanes will likely have increased precipitation and wind.
- The strongest cold-season storms in the Atlantic and Pacific are likely to produce stronger winds and higher extreme wave heights.
It's winter time, and I am sitting here shivering as I type. I'm in the southeast, and we have had one of the coldest winters imagined.
Ice bergs tend to melt and not be as plentiful in summer Arctic conditions.
I live in the hurricane capital of the world, but hurricanes have become less frequent, ever since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. Meterologists have had to throw out weather computer models.
We have had a great deal of precipitation this winter.
So much for those predictions.
