Ah thunderstorms, an every summer afternoon constant growing up on the Southern Gulf Coast of Florida! Almost every morning we could look down the street, towards the direction of the Gulf, and see the start of a thunderstorm building up. Then anytime from about 2-4pm the storm would roll through, dump some rain on us, maybe some thunder and lightning, then be gone for the day.
What is a thunderstorm? A thunderstorm is a rain shower during which you hear thunder. Since thunder comes from lightning, all thunderstorms have lightning. A thunderstorm is classified as “severe” when it contains one or more of the following: hail one inch or greater, winds gusting in excess of 50 knots (57.5 mph), or a tornado.2
Thunderstorms come with a list of potential dangers:
- Straight-Line Winds
- Flash Floods
While a thunderstorm itself is not usually considered to cause fatalities or injuries, those come as a results of the dangers within a thunderstorm.
Thunderstorms are usually about 15 miles in diameter and last about 30 minutes. There are an average of 100,000 thunderstorms in the United States per year, and about 10% of these are considered “severe” thunderstorms.
Three basic ingredients are required for a thunderstorm to form: moisture, rising unstable air (air that keeps rising when given a nudge), and a lifting mechanism to provide the “nudge.”
The sun heats the surface of the earth, which warms the air above it. If this warm surface air is forced to rise—hills or mountains, or areas where warm/cold or wet/dry air bump together can cause rising motion—it will continue to rise as long as it weighs less and stays warmer than the air around it.
As the air rises, it transfers heat from the surface of the earth to the upper levels of the atmosphere (the process of convection). The water vapor it contains begins to cool, releases the heat, condenses and forms a cloud. The cloud eventually grows upward into areas where the temperature is below freezing.
As a storm rises into freezing air, different types of ice particles can be created from freezing liquid drops. The ice particles can grow by condensing vapor (like frost) and by collecting smaller liquid drops that haven’t frozen yet (a state called “supercooled”). When two ice particles collide, they usually bounce off each other, but one particle can rip off a little bit of ice from the other one and grab some electric charge. Lots of these collisions build up big regions of electric charges to cause a bolt of lightning, which creates the sound waves we hear as thunder.2
Be Weather Alert
Severe Thunderstorm Watch: Be prepared. Conditions are favorable for development of a severe thunderstorm.
Severe Thunderstorm Warning: Take shelter. A severe thunderstorm has either been spotted or is radar-indicated.
There are 4 main types of thunderstorms: Single Cell, Multi-Cell, Squall Line, and Supercell Thunderstorms. They each build differently, and pose different threats.
Single Cell Thunderstorm
A Single Cell Thunderstorm is one in which the updraft that creates the storm goes up and straight back down. These are generally formed during the spring and summer months from the updraft of the heat from the sun. Single Cell Thunderstorms typically last only about 20-30 minutes, and are generally a weak thunderstorm. Though they aren’t severe, they are still capable of producing plenty of rain, and possibly hail or weak tornadoes. Single Cell Thunderstorms are rare, because most of the time a thunderstorm is created from multiple updrafts, which produces a Multi-Cell Thunderstorm.
When multiple Single Cell Thunderstorms combine together, they are considered a Multi-Cell Thunderstorm. A Multi-Cell Thunderstorm is more dangerous than a Single Cell, and is also more common. They also develop in the late spring and summer months, again from the rise in heat from the sun. Multi-Cell storms can have gusty winds, and have the potential for hail and a lot of lightning. Usually one of the biggest dangers with a Multi-Cell is the possibility of flash flooding because they drop a tremendous amount of rain over a short period of time, and often build as they move, meaning they can be over the same area for quite a while.
Squall Line Thunderstorms
A Squall Line Thunderstorm has a leading edge where the most dangerous areas of the storm are usually concentrated. These can stretch across hundreds of miles and are capable of producing winds in excess of 60 mph. While they can include tornadoes and hail, the wind is usually the biggest threat with a Squall Line. Flash floods can occur, but usually only when the line becomes stationary over an area.
Most dangerous, but least common, is the Supercell Thunderstorm. A Supercell has a rotating updraft, which allows it to stay together much longer than most thunderstorms, and also become the most organized. Almost all violent tornadoes are formed in a Supercell Thunderstorm, especially when you see the telltale “hook” shown at the bottom left of this radar image. Supercells are capable of producing large, damaging hail, torrential downpours, and dangerous lightning.
During a Thunderstorm and After
Most of the time, you have plenty of advanced warning that a thunderstorm is on it’s way. Depending on the type and size of the storm, you may want to take some basic precautions before the storm hits. Secure anything outside so it isn’t damaged by the wind gusts. If possible, move anything that can be damaged by hail under cover, such as grills outside and putting vehicles in a garage. On the inside, it may help to shut the shades or blinds over windows; if anything hits and breaks a window, it keeps the glass from shattering far into the house. Unplug any sensitive electronics in case of power surges, and turn off your air conditioning (it’s actually sensitive to power surges and very expensive to fix!). Keep your tv/radio tuned to the news to make sure you are aware of any immediate weather threats and/or changes.
If you are getting a severe thunderstorm, you may want to make sure access to your “safe room” in your home is clear. This should be the same place you would go during a tornado…. a small interior room on the lowest floor with no windows. This should also be the same place that you keep your In-Home Emergency Kit ready.
Once a thunderstorm has passed, keep your local weather on for at least 30 minutes to make sure nothing else is developing behind the initial storm. Also, wait at least 30 minutes from the last sound of thunder before going outside as lightning may still be in the area. After it’s safe to do so, assess any damage that your home may have sustained during the storm.

From unprecedented heat waves in the summer months to disastrous flooding in November, the weather in 2021 was a study in extremes throughout B.C., and the Cowichan Valley was no exception.
The heat wave in late June hit record temperatures throughout British Columbia, including a previously unseen high of 41.9 C in Duncan and an unofficial record of 43 C in Lake Cowichan.
Cooling centres opened at several locations throughout the Cowichan Valley to help residents escape the heat.
Similar conditions followed in July and August, although temperatures didn’t reach the same heights. The Cowichan Valley reached drought level 5 — the highest level possible — in late August as days stretched to months without rain.
The BC Coroners Service reported in November, that 48 people died due to extreme heat during the 2021 heat dome on Vancouver Island. The information was part of a provincewide report revealing the summer’s death toll for heat-related injuries.
Region-specific data for the heat dome that occurred from June 25 to July 1 was also included. By region, South and Central Vancouver Island recorded 20 deaths apiece, while North Vancouver Island counted eight. All victims were over 40, with 22 female and 26 male.
A total of 595 people died due to summer heat waves across B.C. The BC Coroners Service expects to complete individual investigations into each death by early 2022.
November was the same month that torrential rains caused havoc in the Cowichan region and provincewide. An atmospheric river passed over the island and across the province on Nov. 13-15. Roads, highways, businesses and homes were flooded and emergency crews were going non-stop.
A portion of Allenby Road was closed for several days and remains damaged and Canadian Forces personnel helped distribute sandbags to the hardest hit areas, particularly on Cowichan Tribes land.
In parts of the region, close to 180 mm of rain was dumped on Cowichan according to Chris Carss, a Chemainus weather observer who records data on a volunteer basis for Environment Canada.
Warning preparedness meteorologist Armel Castellan, of Environment and Climate Change Canada, said he doesn’t care for the term “new normal” because he thinks “it’s a little bit dangerous” to think that this is what it’s going to be like henceforth.
“We are starting to see a huge uptick but we might also be talking about these last five years as a walk in the park compared to what we’re facing a couple decades from now when this is routine. It’s hard to say ‘new normal’ because it’s not a step function. It’s really a moving target and one that’s increasing in amplitude,” he said.
Castallan said what the climate science says is that “we should expect events like this — atmospheric rivers and the heat wave of late June and other types of extremes — to be more frequent throughout the season and throughout the year, and to be longer lasting.”
In December, the Malahat region set both a record high temperature and a record low. On Dec. 1 the area reached 10.5 C, a new high, while on Dec. 26 the area hit -11.1 C, a new low.


A rain gauge (or also called an Omron, gauge, spitter, decanter, and pleasure meter) is a scientific instrument used on aeroplanes to measure the amount of precipitation on a specified area over a defined period. It can measure the moisture level in the air as well as the density of the clouds. It is mostly used for scientific research and study. This tool is used in various ways, such as determining rainfall and snowfall at a particular place or city. To use this instrument on aeroplanes, you need a special cap to put on top of your aeroplane and connected to a special wire.
This is the basic equipment used by meteorologists to predict rain and snowfall. Hydrologists and scientists also use this tool to study weather patterns. For instance, if we want to measure precipitation at our home, we must first determine the day of the week and the time of the day when it’s raining. Then, we need to know the different weather patterns such as the easterly or westerly showers, the dry or rainy seasons, the mixed or severe weather, etc. Knowing about all these different weather patterns will help us predict the future weather conditions at the home, office, or anywhere else that requires us to predict weather and climate.
There are many types of rain gauges that are widely used around the world. The most common type is the dew point gauge. This device measures the temperature of the water by taking the dew point as a measurement. Usually, the measurement is done using barometric pressure. In some countries, the temperature of the surrounding air is also measured by using this device. It is considered the most commonly used rain gauge for measuring rainfall and the surrounding air temperature.
Another important rain gauge is the rain gauge using a line gauge. This instrument is usually made up of two or more flexible tubes. One tube is fitted with a small flexible tube attached to the other end, a thermometer probe attached. When the pressure of the air on the tube increases, the thermometer probe rises. So, when the bridge crosses the line tube, the reading on the thermometer changes. Measurement of rainfall measurements is more accurate and reliable than any other single measuring device.
Today, there are various types of rain gauges that are available in the market. You can click to buy here. Each of these instruments has its advantages. The best thing about this instrument is that it can be easily used, yet it provides high accuracy measurement. Also, it is portable and easy to carry.
A third popular kind of rain gauges is the optical rain gauge. This instrument uses light to measure the rainfall amounts. Usually, this instrument has a small tube with a coloured lens. Water droplets appear as dots on the coloured lens of this tube, which makes it easier to identify raindrops. Although this instrument is smaller than other kinds of rain gauges, it measures much lesser amounts of precipitation. It also has a much shorter life span.


The first edition of the Nairobi City Marathon, dubbed, the Uhuru Classic, took place on 8 May 2022 at the corridors of the Nairobi Express way.
The marathon was officiated by H.E President Uhuru Kenyatta accompanied by the First Lady H.E Margaret Kenyatta.
During the Nairobi City Uhuru Classic marathon, Athletics Kenya undertook real time measurements of air quality of the City. This was done in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), and the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA).
The air quality monitoring exercise was led by the Director General, NEMA Mamo B. Mamo, who was accompanied by the Environment and Forestry PS Dr. Chris Kiptoo. The Authority set its mobile air quality monitoring laboratory to measure the quality of air in the city.
This was the first marathon in Kenya where air quality was assessed. Athletics Kenya has started embedding the principles of sustainability in its events in line with World Athletics Sustainability Strategy, a 10-year road map unveiled by World Athletics in April 2020. This in line with the Sports for Climate Action Framework, under the United Nations Framework for Climate Change.
This initiative aims at supporting and guiding sports actors in achieving global climate change goals.
In addition, the Nairobi Expressway is expected to ease traffic congestion thereby reducing vehicular emissions in the city.


[Digital Sounds] [High Energy Music] Technology. It’s the rhythm of our everyday life. We’re more dependent on satellite and communication systems than at any other time in history. Disruptions can affect our economy and even our safety. To prepare for the effects of such events, and minimize impacts, we need to look outside our atmosphere – some ninety-three million miles away – at a star we call the Sun. [Ambient Music] It’s our main energy source. It warms the Earth and grows our food. While the Sun and the space between may seem pleasant from our perspective, it’s anything but peaceful. At its surface exists a chaotic state of eruptions and radiation. And unlike Vegas, what happens at the Sun doesn’t stay at the Sun. Space weather is essentially emissions from the sun: radiation, magnetic field that erupts from the solar surface, pumped out into space – sometimes right toward Earth. When it impacts the Earth, it impacts our technology. That’s what we call space weather. These solar events and their effects at Earth can disrupt systems we take for granted – from causing blackouts to the power grid – to delaying offshore drilling operations due to inaccurate GPS data. Interference with communication systems can force air traffic to reroute and impact rescue response and coordination. Outside our atmosphere, solar radiation can harm astronauts and the systems they depend on. The good news is these eruptions can be detected early. Forecasters at the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado have their eyes on the Sun at all times. The Space Weather Prediction Center is part of the National Weather Service and is very much like a normal weather forecast office. We’re here twenty-four hours a day, 7 days a week. We’re looking at data. We’re looking at imagery. We’re looking at model outputs. As conditions develop, we put out alerts, warnings, and watches of imminent activity to our customers so they can take action. In many ways, forecasting space weather is a lot like forecasting hurricanes. Those who rely on space weather forecasts – like electric power grid managers – are informed early on and can begin taking protective action. When we see an eruption on the sun, Space Weather forecasters will issue a watch. This is much like a hurricane watch – when a hurricane sits offshore of Miami, for example – perhaps forty-eight hours out. We too can see way in advance that something may be coming towards the Earth. As the storm moves toward us, it hits a monitoring spacecraft orbiting a million miles away from Earth. It’s kind of our buoy sitting out there offshore and that hurricane about thirty, forty-five minutes before it makes landfall, we’ll get the measurements from the buoy. That’s what this spacecraft does for us. That big eruption that left the Sun hits the spacecraft. Now we’ve got the measurements of exactly what’s going to impact us here on Earth and we issue the warnings to give the power grid a heads up that the storm is now imminent. An interesting element to this whole process is that when the forecasters issue the alert, the power grid receives the alert, takes the necessary actions to protect the grid the average citizen never knows anything ever happened. [High Energy Music] The number of customers who rely on space weather information continues to grow. As our reliance on technology increases, so will our need for constant monitoring of the Sun.

The coldest winter in decades intensified further on Thursday with low pressure over Siberian region pushing chilly winds towards Bangladesh forcing the mercury to dip bellower level.
The bone-chilling weather for the last three consecutive days has almost paralysed the normal life in urban and rural areas in the country, especially in the northwest and southwest regions. Experts said, the spell is likely to continue for two more days.
The cold with equal or more severity may again sweep the country in the last week of the current month, also feared the officials of the Department of Meteorology on Thursday.
Country’s lowest temperature was recorded 3 degrees C at northern suburb Syedpur upazila in the district of Nilphamari yesterday while it was 7.6 degrees C in the country’s central part, Dhaka – lowest ever in the past decades.
The ongoing cold wave has raised the death toll at 85 in last three days. Of them, at least 10 people died in Moulvibazar, Lalmonirhat and Madaripur in last three days due to cold biting, according to reports.
Meanwhile, the meteorologists said that the strong easterly winds blowing clockwise over Himalayan Mountains bringing the dry and cold air from northern Siberia in this part of the globe.
The Meteorologist’s weather forecast was matched when the minimum temperatures yesterday were recorded 03.5°C in Rangpur, 04.8°C in Rajshahi, 07.6°C in Khulna, 08.5°C in Sylhet and 9.0°C in Chittagong. The district of Dinajpur, which recoded 3.2 degree C temperature on Wednesday, however, got a slight rise in temperature to 4.6 degrees C yesterday.
“The unusual cold wave situation, however, is yet to over and it may continue for next few days over Rajshahi, Rangpur, Dhaka, Barisal, Chittagong and Sylhet divisions,” said Shah Alam, deputy director of Department of Meteorology.
“Despite the cold wave situation, the temperatures will begin to rise by Saturday with more typical westerly winds. Winds are expected to get moderate slightly and it will feel less cold.” He said adding that another spell of cold wave may hit the country at the month-end.
Meanwhile, the normal life in the country’s northern region was seriously affected due to the sweeping cold bite together with dense fog and chilly wind during the past three consecutive days. Hundreds of people, mostly children and elderly men, were reportedly admitted in different hospitals with cold-related diseases.
Particularly in the north and north-eastern districts, most of the people abandoned their business activities to find a warmer place as the dense fog made a thick wall hiding the sunshine all over the day. The life of people living in the slums and chars on the Ganges basin has become worst as they experience more chilly wind than that of the mainland.
The cold wave accompanied by dense fog is also causing severe disruption of air, road and river communications across the country disrupting people’s normal activities.
Road transportation was also severely disrupted due to thick fog while the ferry services at Aricha and Mawa were also hampered blocking total communications to the northeast region.
Officials said that the heavy fog led to suspension of ferry service for about ten hours between Mawa and Keorakandi as well as Paturia and Daulatdia. The suspended ferry and launch services between Paturia and Daulatdia till 10:00am yesterday, caused a two-kilometre tailback at Dauladia–Khulna highway in Rajbari. It also caused a three-kilometre long tailback on Dhaka- Paturia highway in Manikganj.
Air communication was also severely disrupted yesterday due to poor visibility in heavily dense fog at all airports. Particularly, the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) has to bear brunt of bad weather as it rescheduled at least five flights, including an international one.
Local sources from different northern districts said that the people couldn’t see the sunlight as the sky remained covered with cloud and they witnessed drizzling like situation almost throughout the day yesterday.
However a bout of bad weather in one place can mean good weather somewhere else: Teknaf, for instance, has recorded temperatures above 20 degree C in recent days, close to the pre-summer hot. Even, the south western tourist zone Khepupara got country’s highest temperature 20.2 degrees C yesterday.


This afternoon, Gloucestershire has started its preparation as the county has been declared under the yellow weather warning as the storm Freya draws near. The storm will pass by Wales and the northeastern part of England. According to the weather forecast, the residents are to expect strong winds with a maximum speed of 65mph plus heavy rainfall, which might intensity as the storm passes the area. The residents of Stroud and Cheltenham, Gloucestershire were specifically told to brace for Storm Freya. The storm might bring heavy rains in Cheltenham between 1 PM and 4 PM this afternoon.
The Met Office has released an update thru Twitter saying that the Storm Freya is still on its north-eastward path and that it is also to bring showers to heavy rain in various areas across the UK. They also mentioned that torrential winds are expected along Wales and most of the UK. Mr. Jason Kelly, the Met Deputy Chief Meteorologist warned that there might be “significant disruption to travel” with high possibility of damage to buildings and trees due to the storm’s strong winds. The Met Office has also issued some guidelines to serve as reminders to residents, especially to those who will be out of their homes for work:
Possible flying debris, such as fallen branches and roof, may cause injuries and even life-threatening situations to people.
Transportation services including the land, water, and air vehicles might be interrupted. Journey cancellations and delays may occur.
There might be power failures and mobile network problems during the storm surge.
Beach fronts and coastal areas should be prepared for large waves and beach debris. There is a high possibility of injuries and damage to properties.
As the storm approaches England last Saturday, a naming ceremony held for MSC Bellissima at Southampton was disrupted due to strong winds. Both the guests and employees were evacuated to safety.

Here are our recommendations for where to go and what to do during August in Southeast Asia.
In the north rainy season is in full effect but will mostly consist of rain each day during mid to late afternoon downpours than often last only an hour or so before it starts to dry out again. Night-time storms also happen and can provide incredible light shows. Temperatures are in the low 30’s/86-91°F and pleasant at night.
Rainy season in Bangkok with average temperatures around 29°C/84°F and 5 or 6 hours of sunshine a day. Torrential showers are common however which can sometimes lead to flooding.
On Koh Samui the temperatures increase a little but so does rainfall and the frequency and duration of rainfall will increase throughout the month.
On the Andaman Sea coast the south west monsoon hits the area from June to October when rainfall can hit highs of 350mm in a month. It’s not all bad though as the rain tends to fall in the late afternoon or early evening and the rest of the day could be bathed in hot sunshine as temperatures remain in the 30’s most of the day.
The Queen Mothers birthday on 12th August is a public holiday. The holiday is on the following Monday if the birthday falls on a weekend.

An excellent time to visit the east coast with dry, sunny weather the norm and excellent snorkelling and scuba diving conditions.
The west coast islands can see heavy downpours but also outside of those there will be hot, humid, sunny weather.
31st August marks the day that the Federation of Malaya gained its independence from the UK in 1957.

Neenah, WI—In keeping with an excessively active Atlantic hurricane season, Jewelers Mutual has updated its hurricane preparedness materials for jewelers and introduced a new video.
For only the second time in history since the National Hurricane Center began naming storms in the 1950s, the 2020 hurricane season has run out of names. With two months still left in the Atlantic hurricane season--it ends November 30--any new storms will be named with the Greek alphabet.
Related: Hurricane Preparedness For Jewelers
The United States first began naming storms in 1950. For the first three years, the standard phonetic alphabet (Able, Baker, Charlie, etc.) was used for storm names, but in 1953 the naming convention switched to using female names, with Alice being the first. That remained the practice until 1978 when male names were added to the roster, alternating by letter.
Every year, 21 names are selected in advance of the hurricane season, using every letter except Q, U, X, Y, or Z, due to lack of many names beginning with those letters. If all 21 names are exhausted, then additional storms are named Alpha, Beta, and so on. This has happened only once before, in 2005—the year of the infamous Katrina.

Earlier this month poor air quality led to older people , those with asthma and those with lung or heart disease being warned against exercising outside. These high pollution conditions were caused by a combination of local emissions, light winds, pollution from the continent and dust blown over from the Sahara. DEFRA have recently introduced a new five-day forecast of air quality but many are calling for changes to the way pollution warnings are given so that people understand the health risks.
Were you affected by the high pollution levels? Did it stop you from exercising outside? What do you think of the current warnings given to people about air quality?


Climate change is widely regarded as one of the most significant global issues of our time. With the changing climate, municipalities are already facing weather-related impacts on residents and infrastructure, such as flooding, drought, extreme heat, poor air quality and severe weather events. These impacts are expected to become more pronounced if global greenhouse gas emissions cannot be brought under control.
Since 1996, the Town has actively participated in Clean Air Initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and address health concerns arising from deteriorating air quality in our community and across the GTA. The Town’s 2004 Clean Air Local Action Plan set both corporate and community GHG emissions reduction targets for 2010. As of 2005, the Town is well on its way towards achieving the targeted 20 per cent decrease in corporate emissions from 2000 levels. Significant progress towards the community target of 6 per cent below 2000 levels has also been made.
Some of the Town's Clean Air Initiatives include:
Achieving our Clean Air targets largely depends on choices we make regarding energy use. In this sense, energy efficiency goes hand-in-hand with efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. We all can make choices to conserve energy. The Town has taken a leadership role in seeking and promoting energy-efficient practices, technologies and alternative sources of energy (wind, solar and geothermal power).
The Town also participates in events aimed at promoting and encouraging energy conservation, including:

Gardening is not just about cultivating plants; it's about fostering a harmonious relationship with the environment. One key element in achieving this harmony is understanding the role of carbon sequestration and its profound impact on gardening practices. Carbon sequestration, the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide.
Carbon sequestering refers to the process by which carbon dioxide (CO2) is captured and stored, primarily in natural ecosystems such as forests and oceans. In the context of trees, carbon sequestering is a vital ecological function driven by the process of photosynthesis.
Here's a breakdown of how carbon sequestering works:
1. Photosynthesis: Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air through small pores called stomata on their leaves. In the presence of sunlight, chlorophyll in the leaves facilitates photosynthesis. During this process, carbon dioxide is converted into organic carbon compounds, primarily sugars.
2. Carbon Storage: The captured carbon is then stored in various parts of the tree, including its roots, trunk, branches, and leaves. This stored carbon is essential for the tree's growth, development, and reproduction.
3. Oxygen Release: As a byproduct of photosynthesis, trees release oxygen back into the atmosphere. This oxygen is vital for sustaining life on Earth and forms a crucial part of the global oxygen cycle.
4. Long-Term Storage: Carbon sequestering involves the long-term storage of carbon in trees and other vegetation. This stored carbon contributes to the overall carbon balance in the atmosphere.
Environmental Importance of Carbon Sequestration:
Carbon sequestering plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change and maintaining a balanced carbon cycle. By absorbing and storing carbon dioxide, trees act as carbon sinks, helping to reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.The significance of carbon sequestering lies in its potential to: mitigate global warming (trees/soil are natural carbon sinks), avoid dangerous climate change (by storing carbon, trees help stabilize climate patterns), and sustain biodiversity (carbon sequestration supports overall health and resilience of ecosystems).
Positive Impacts Gardens Can Have on Carbon Sequestration
Incorporating carbon-friendly gardening practices is not merely a choice; it embodies a commitment to nurturing our gardens and contributing to global efforts in combating climate change. Our goal at Secret Garden Landscapes is to have our gardens become sanctuaries of carbon sequestration, where each plant, each tree, helps provide a sustainable and flourishing future.

The world is facing a common enemy; global warming. As the effects of global warming continue to manifest, scientists think iron, the most common mineral on earth could be holding the key to solving this puzzle.
Scientific think tanks have put across proposals, and this could be all we have to slay this enemy. By adding iron into the oceans, scientists say this could help in reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, thereby bringing down temperatures. This idea isn’t new since it has been there for close to four decades but not so much has been done about it. The idea isn’t as complicated as it seems though.
Plants depend on iron to thrive. Ideally, when the iron is dumped into the oceans, the plants in there, which are an essential source of food for marine life, get to feed on the iron, when they flourish, they, in turn, take in carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. This process, therefore, brings down the temperatures, as carbon dioxide has been blamed for the rising greenhouse effect.
The few dumping trials have proved this idea successful. Still, there have been counter-arguments showing that as much as this might be a good thing, it could lead to other challenges.
It is also not clear how long marine plants store carbon dioxide. There are concerns too that dumping iron in oceans could lead to an increase in gases such as methane and nitrous oxide, which are also detrimental to the environment. Some of the marine plants have also been said to produce harmful chemicals which have adverse effects on the ozone layer.

Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh have developed a nanomaterial with an organometallic structure, which is capable of absorbing carbon dioxide and hydrogen from the air, creating useful chemicals from them.
Currently, there is no economically advantageous and energy efficient method for collecting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, followed by its transformation into useful carbon-containing compounds. However, American scientists approached the solution of this problem. They created a nanomaterial with an organometallic structure (MOF), which removes CO2 from the air and contributes to its interaction with hydrogen molecules, as a result of which the chemical precursor of methanol is formed — formic acid.
Under normal conditions, such a reaction requires overcoming the energy threshold, but the invention of scientists acts as a catalyst. The nanomaterial bends the geometric structure of the carbon dioxide molecule, thereby contributing to the interaction with hydrogen. In fact, the mof frame activates CO2 and reduces the energy barrier.
The team believes that with further improvement of the product, they will be able to achieve a reduction in greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, in parallel turning them into fuel or other useful chemical compounds. They plan to create special filters for chimneys of industrial enterprises and power plants so that the technology can bring real benefits.
No less useful invention presented researchers from the University of Zurich, who developed a new type of nanoparticles for use in


Not every gas in the atmosphere absorbs intensely long-wave radiation from the ground. The greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere are called greenhouse gases, mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, freon and water vapor. They absorb almost all the long-wave radiation emitted from the ground, and only a very narrow region absorbs very little, so they are called “window region”. It is through this window that the earth returns 70% of the heat from the sun to the space in the form of long-wave radiation, thus maintaining the ground temperature unchanged. The greenhouse effect is mainly due to the increase in the number and variety of greenhouse gases by human activities, which makes the 70% value decrease and the remaining heat makes the earth warm.
What is greenhouse gas?
However, although CO2 and other greenhouse gases have a strong ability to absorb long-wave radiation from the ground, their amount in the atmosphere is very small. If the atmospheric state of pressure as a atmospheric pressure and temperature of 0 C is called the standard state, then the whole atmosphere of the earth is compressed to this standard state, its thickness is 8000 meters. At present, the content of CO 2 in the atmosphere is 355 ppm, or 355 parts per million. Converting it to the standard state, it will be 2.8 meters thick. This is 2.8 meters thick in the atmosphere of 8,000 meters thick. Methane content is 1.7 ppm, corresponding to 1.4 cm thick. The ozone concentration is 400 ppb (ppb is one thousandth of ppm), which is only 3 mm thick after conversion. Nitrous oxide is 310 ppb, 2.5 mm thick. There are many kinds of freon, but the most abundant Freon 12 in the atmosphere is only 400 ppt (ppt is one thousandth of ppb), converted to the standard state of only 3 microns. This shows that there are few greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It is also for this reason that human release without restrictions can easily lead to rapid global warming.
History of development
As early as 1938, British meteorologist Carlinda pointed out that CO2 concentration had risen by 6% since the beginning of the century after analyzing sporadic CO2 observations around the world at the end of the 19th century. He also found that there was a warming tendency in the world from the end of last century to the middle of this century, which caused great repercussions in the world. To this end, Kellin of Scripps Oceanographic Research Institute established an observatory in 1958 at an altitude of 3,400 meters in the Maunaroya Mountains of Hawaii, and began the precise observation of atmospheric CO2 content. Because Hawaii is located in the middle of the North Pacific Ocean. Therefore, it can be considered that it is not affected by terrestrial air pollution and the observation results are reliable.
From April 1958 to June 1991, the atmospheric CO2 concentration in the Maunaroya Mountains was observed. It was found that the atmospheric CO2 content in 1958 was only about 315 ppm, which reached 355 ppm in 1991. The seriousness of the problem also lies in the fact that only about half of the 5.5 billion tons of fossil fuels (about 4 tons of CO2 per ton) that humans burn annually (1996) enter the atmosphere and the rest are mainly absorbed by marine and terrestrial plants. Once the ocean is saturated with CO2, the atmospheric CO2 content will increase exponentially. In addition, they also found seasonal variations in CO2 content, with a difference of 6 ppm between winter and summer. This is mainly due to the winter drought and summer glory of vegetation on the vast continents of the Northern Hemisphere, that is, plants absorb CO2 in summer, which makes the atmospheric CO2 concentration relatively lower.
According to the determination of CO2 concentration in the air of sealed bubbles in the Antarctic and Greenland continental ice sheets, the CO2 content in the atmosphere has been relatively stable for a long time in the past, about 280 ppm. Only from the mid-18th century, before and after the Industrial Revolution began to rise steadily. That is to say, it took 240 years for human beings to increase the atmospheric CO2 concentration from 280 ppm to 355 ppm.
Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after CO2. Although its concentration in the atmosphere is much lower than CO2, its growth rate is much higher. According to the Second Climate Change Assessment Report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 1996, CO2 increased by 30% in 240 years from 1750 to 1990, while methane increased by 145% in the same period. Methane, also known as biogas, is produced when organic matter decays under anoxic conditions. For example, paddy fields, compost and animal manure all produce biogas. Nitrogen monoxide is also known as laughing gas, because inhaling a certain concentration of this gas can cause facial muscle spasm, which looks like laughing. It is mainly produced by burning fossil fuels and organisms using chemical fertilizers. Although the ozone content in the atmosphere decreases in the stratosphere, it increases in the troposphere, which will be discussed later. Freon gases are compounds of chlorine, fluorine and carbon; they do not exist in nature and are entirely human-made. Because of its low melting point and boiling point, non-flammable, non-explosive, odorless, harmless and excellent stability, it is widely used in the manufacture of refrigerants, foaming agents and cleaners. Although the highest concentrations of Freon 12 and 11 in the earth’s atmosphere are very few, their growth rates have been very high in the past, both of which are 5% per year. Because of its severe destruction of the ozone layer in the atmosphere, its concentration in the atmosphere is expected to decrease gradually from the beginning of the 21st century according to the 1987 International Montreal Protocol.
It should be noted that although the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases other than CO2 is much lower than that of CO2, some of them are several orders of magnitude smaller, their greenhouse effect is much stronger than that of CO2. Therefore, their contribution to atmospheric greenhouse effect, according to the second IPCC Report, is only one order of magnitude lower than that of CO2. If their total contribution to the greenhouse effect of the Earth’s atmosphere is small compared with CO2 before 1960, it is not negligible that in the near future they will go hand in hand with CO2 and even exceed CO2.

Decomposition Technology of Raw Chicken Manure Composting
Can chicken manure be used as organic fertilizer if it is not ripe? Chinese style
1. Not only chicken manure, but also human manure contains a lot of pathogens, eggs and parasites. Unripe manure can not be directly applied to crops.
2. Chicken manure will dissipate most of the heat in the process of ripening. If it is not fertilized directly, it will cause burning roots and seedlings of plants.
3. Nitrogen fertilizer in chicken manure originally existed in the form of protein. Plants could not use protein directly. Only when protein was decomposed into ammonia after fermentation, can they be used by plants.
How to decompose chicken manure?
Chicken manure must be fully decomposed before it is applied. The parasites and eggs in chicken manure, as well as some infectious pathogens, are inactivated through the decomposition process. Because chicken manure produces high temperature in the process of decomposition, it is easy to cause nitrogen loss. Therefore, it is better to add water and 5% calcium superphosphate before chicken manure is decomposed. Chicken manure has become a good base fertilizer for crop cultivation after full maturation. It can be used for all kinds of flowers, seedlings, crops and fruit trees.
The traditional method is to compost chicken manure for fermentation and maturation, which usually takes 3-4 months to mature. Nowadays, through the rapid biological decomposition technology of Nongshengle chicken manure, the decomposition rate can be 10-20 times faster than the traditional method by aerobic fermentation, and the protein and other substances of chicken manure can be converted into more easily absorbed elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. After complete decomposition, chicken manure can hardly smell odor. Fermentation of chicken manure with Nongshengle Fecal Fermentation Fermentation Fermentation Fermentation Fermentation Fermentation has the advantages of low dosage, good effect and fast speed. Generally, chicken manure can be completely decomposed in 7-15 days. If the fermentation material is pure chicken manure, under normal conditions, the C/N ratio is generally less than 20, it should be added with appropriate amount of straw, sawdust and other materials with high C/N ratio. Straw can be added as much as chicken manure to mediate the C/N ratio, and because compost fermentation is aerobic fermentation, straw can enhance the looseness and permeability of chicken manure, which is more conducive to fermentation.
Note: It is recommended to use rice, corn, wheat, sawdust and other plant straw with larger carbon and nitrogen content, and to avoid using straw with smaller carbon and nitrogen content, such as beans. Chinese style
Method of decomposition of chicken manure: Before fermentation, mix all kinds of materials evenly and reserve them. During fermentation, the manure starter of Nongshengle was diluted and mixed with chicken manure mixture at the ratio of 1:200. Then it could be accumulated and fermented. The fermentation process is dumped 1-2 times, and the decomposition can be completed in 7-15 days according to the season.
Knowledge of organic fertilizer clinker: The ratio of total carbon content to total nitrogen content in organic matter is called carbon-nitrogen ratio, and their ratio is called carbon-nitrogen ratio.
C/N ratio of common plants:
- In general, the C/N ratios of gramineous crop stalks such as rice stalks, corn stalks and weeds are very high, reaching 60-100:1.
- The C/N ratio of leguminous crop stalks is relatively small, such as the C/N ratio of general leguminous green manure is 15-20:1.
Effects of different C/N ratios on Composting
The decomposition and mineralization of organic matter with high C/N ratio is difficult or slow. The reason is that when microorganisms decompose organic matter, they need to assimilate about one part of nitrogen to form their own cell body when they assimilate five parts of carbon, because the carbon-nitrogen ratio of microorganisms is about 5:1. In order to assimilate (absorb and utilize) one portion of carbon, four portions of organic carbon are needed to obtain energy, so 25 portions of organic carbon are needed for microorganisms to absorb and utilize one portion of nitrogen. That is to say, the ratio of carbon to nitrogen of microorganism decomposition of organic matter is 25:1. If the ratio of carbon to nitrogen is too large, the decomposition of microorganisms will be slow and the available nitrogen in soil will be consumed. Therefore, when applying organic fertilizers (such as rice straw) with high C/N ratio or composting materials with high C/N ratio, more N-containing fertilizers should be added to regulate C/N ratio. On the contrary, there are too many nitrogen elements in chicken manure, so more carbon elements such as straw should be added. Chinese style
How to reduce the use cost of chicken manure ripening agent:
In order to reduce the use cost of chicken manure ripening agent, the manure fermentation strain (original strain) was developed and manufactured. Users could use the manure fermentation strain to cultivate the fermentation agent by themselves, which could reduce the cost by 10 times. Chinese style
Benefits of Feed Fermentation
- Increase feed utilization rate and reduce feeding cost;
- Detoxification and detoxification, improve palatability and intake;
- Improving animal immunity and reducing fecal discharge;
- Enhance meat quality and flavor to make meat delicious.

Students sunbathing on campus’s lawn, trees blossoming, and sunny weather are not an unusual view these days at Simpson University. While it all feels wonderful and makes studying more pleasurable, we must remember that this is not normal.
Our climate is changing drastically.
California is currently in the process of breaking new drought records. This year’s first two months are shaping to be the driest January and February in state history. And currently there is no change likely to come.
In a recent article by Cal Matters, Erik Ekdahl, a deputy director with the State Water Resources Control Boards, shared, “There’s no precipitation forecast through the remainder of February. And there’s very little precipitation in the long-range forecast for March. All this is pointing to, again, some pretty dire conditions statewide for drought.”
It is much easier, however, to understand the seriousness of the current drought by directly experiencing it. Dr. Nicodemus, the Associate Professor of Biology at Simpson University agreed to address this issue.
“On campus, it is more difficult to see the signs of warming because we use supplemental watering to keep the ponds full and the landscaping green. So far this year, we have had very little rainfall and high temperatures. One year does not make a trend that we could attribute to climate change, but these patterns of warm weather and less rain have been consistent over many years.”
As soon as students leave campus, though, evidence of drought is noticeable in many places.
“Around Redding, the nearly empty reservoirs, the low depth of the Sacramento River, and the drought in general indicate that this year so far has been drier than what it should be. When we combine that with the droughts we have experienced over the last decades and the increased prevalence of fire both here in Shasta County and all over the state, it suggests that there is trend to a change in the overall climate,” Dr. Nicodemus continued.
Droughts do not happen without a reason. They are part of a bigger problem. Global warming. It is one of the most controversial issues nowadays and it is difficult not to get lost in the flood of mutually exclusive information and news. That is why it is so important to look for credible sources and double-check things.
Redding has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate, with very hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. The winter season (October – April) is supposed to provide the most precipitation of the year and the weather during these months tends to be either rainy or foggy with occasional snow. December, January, and February are, in theory, the wettest months with up to 10 inches of rain on average. This year is much more different, and the future may be worse.
Data provided by the Shasta County Cooperative Extension shows that this January Redding got two inches of rain, and in February, zero.
“If this year holds to the trends we have seen in recent years, it would be likely that this summer would be dry, hot, and that there will again be many wildfires,” Dr. Nicodemus added.
Global warming is not a problem that can be solved in one day. It requires the determination of millions of people around the world and knowledgeable leaders who will introduce a smart action plan. Even though college students do not have the resources for making a drastic change, we still have a lot of power to make a change in our local society. Dr. Nicodemus explained that raising awareness through the people around us, reducing our personal use of fossil fuels, and conserving energy are things we can do easily and can make a difference.


"I would be looking for historic weather data for the closest weather station to Newburgh, Aberdeenshire. Ideally the information we would like (if it is recorded), is daily records of rainfall and wind speed for the period 15 August-present.
If possible, we would also like this information for the past 5 years (if available) from the period 15 August – Mid-October.
I have made a similar request previously and was given the raw data in excel format showing this information at 15 minute intervals, which I could then analyse myself. If this is all that is available then this would be more than acceptable.”

PPT: Climate Change | PowerPoint Presentation | PDF: At present, climate change is one among the global difficulties which the people are facing. The temperature of atmosphere and oceans have been increased, there is an increase in sea level, a powerful decrease in Arctic sea ice and along with all these there are other changes too which are related to climate and its change. So, it is necessary to know about the science of climate change which helps us in decreasing the magnitude or size of climate change.

Well, it is true that climate is warming because the temperature of earth’s surface has been increasing from mid of the 1970s; not only this but also other observations like enhanced heat content of oceans, indications from poleward shifts of species which are sensitive to temperature furnish inconvertible proof about climate warming. The estimations of average surface temperature of Earth show that the period from1983 to 2012 was the warmest period in more than 800 years. The below graphs explain about the rise of global sea level and also about the ocean heat content anomaly, they are as below:
Fig1: Rise of global sea level
Fig2: Ocean heat content anomaly
How do scientists know that changes in climate are majorly caused by the activities of human beings?
From the basic physics, scientists came to know that to a large extent human beings are responsible for the changes in the climate. In a direct measurement of carbon dioxide in atmosphere and measurement of carbon dioxide in the air which is trapped in an ice indicates the enhancement of carbon dioxide up to 40%. Not only the carbon dioxide but also the other greenhouse gasses are also enhancing due to the activities of human beings. Scientists said that the major changes in the atmosphere are caused not only due to the enhancement of carbon dioxide but also due to other activities of human beings.
Emission of carbon dioxide due to human activities:
The natural carbon cycle is disturbed because the long-buried fossil fuels are extracted by human beings for the energy and released carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The level of carbon dioxide which is measured in the year of 2012 was 40% higher when compared with the level of carbon dioxide in the nineteenth century. Activities like deforestation and other uses of land have also enhanced the level of carbon.
The role played by Sun in climate change:
Sun furnish the important source of energy for driving the system of Earth’s climate but the changes of it played a tiny role in the climate change. The measurement of the direct satellite does not show any increased in an output of Sun in the past decades. So, we can say that the present changes in the climate of Earth are not related to the changes in solar energy.
The result of adding more carbon dioxide:
Adding more amount of carbon dioxide will cause further warming and increase the temperature of a surface. Distinct gasses absorb energy at distinct wavelengths and carbon dioxide traps at the wavelength of 15mm and there are lots of absorption bands which are very weak. If the level of carbon dioxide increases then the center of the strong band plays a tiny role in climate warming but the weaker bands and the strong band wings absorbs energy which increases the temperature of climate and also the temperature of lower layers of the atmosphere.

The rate of warming:
The rate of warming changes from year to year, place to place and from decade to decade and this depend on the climate system and its understanding.
Why few summers and winters are very cold?
There is an increase in global warming and but still, there are few cold summers and cold winters and all these are because global warming is really a huge topic and enhancement in global warming does not mean that every coming year will be warmer than the previous year. The day to day changes and year to year changes in the patterns of weather will generate few unusual cold days and nights and cold winters and summers though the temperature of climate increases.
Why there is a decline in Arctic sea ice?
There is a decline in Arctic sea ice and not in the Antarctic sea ice because sea ice extent gets affected by winds, ocean currents, and temperature. It seems that the sea ice of Arctic Ocean is directly responding to the warming and whereas the ocean of Antarctica and its winds are dominating the climatic patterns.
Seawater is becoming more acidic in nature and this arises a difficulty to organisms in the sea. For example, Corals and shellfishes have a calcium carbonate shell which easily dissolves in acid and the acidification of Ocean arise a difficult situation for them to maintain their shells.

Heavy storms coupled with localised heavy downpours, strong winds and lightning are expected across the country until Saturday, following the storms across the southern, western and central areas yesterday.
The Meteorological Services Department (MSD), in conjunction with the Department of Civil Protection, has put out an alert with motorists in particular advised to be cautious on the roads as flash flooding may occur.
Yesterday, widespread thunderstorms were experienced, with heavy falls in excess of 30mm in 24 hours being noted. Only Mashonaland East and Central, and Harare, remained sunny.
Zvishavane recorded 16mm, Plumtree 9mm and Nkayi 5mm.
The MSD said more moisture was drifting into the country from the north-western parts of the country, the Victoria Falls area, right through to Gonarezhou in the south-eastern parts of the country.
Today, the storms are expected to start off in Matabeleland North, Matabeleland South, Midlands, Masvingo and Bulawayo Metropolitan as moisture drifts in from a cloud system over Botswana.
They will be accompanied by “strong winds as well as lightning and possibly hail”, said the MSD in an alert issued yesterday at 4pm.
“Similar conditions should spread north-eastward to affect all Mashonaland provinces as well as Harare Metropolitan from Thursday into Friday, and slightly ease off on Saturday 28 November.
“The Meteorological Services Department will continue monitoring and issue updates as the system progresses.”
Citizens have been urged to stay indoors during thunderstorms, but if caught outdoors, should not seek shelter under isolated trees or small sheds.
If no shelter is available, people are advised to try to couch as low as possible, with only their feet touching the ground.
But when it is not raining, the summer sun will be hot and the MSD advises drinking adequate amounts of water and keeping our of the sun between 11am and 3pm when it is hottest.
“Wear sunscreen when engaged in outdoor activities if possible,” said the MSD.
All citizens, especially motorists, are discouraged from crossing flooded rivers as they risk being swept away.


Can plant-based products slow the impacts of climate change?
The impacts of climate change can be felt at almost every level in nature. From rising sea levels to changes in weather patterns and shrinking biodiversity, climate change is altering the way that we live and the global systems that support us. Fortunately, there are many actions that both consumers and companies can do now to help reduce the climate impact of the consumer economy now and in the future. Investments in research for plant-based innovations, manufacturing more circular products, and advocating for improvements in our waste infrastructure to support products derived from renewable resources are critical, practical solutions for a greener future.
Before getting into plant-based products’ role in slowing these devastating impacts, it’s important to understand the causes behind climate change.
What causes climate change?
The biggest contributing factor is rising greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by human activities. GHGs are a group of gases that cause more heat to be trapped in the atmosphere than the amount of heat that leaves. These include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases. Increasing concentrations of these gases in the atmosphere cause warming, leading to a cascade of catastrophic effects on earth’s physical, chemical, and biological systems. The increase of GHG into our atmosphere has been primarily caused by human activity, meaning these emissions are considered anthropogenic. To help reduce the numerous negative effects from excess anthropogenic emissions of these gases, the scientific community, environmental experts, and individuals across the world are advocating for a “net-zero” future – one that achieves a balance between emissions produced and emissions taken out of the atmosphere.
Many of these emissions are caused by the utilization of fossil fuels like natural gas, petroleum, and coal. Petroleum is the main building block used in the production of traditional plastics and many other materials. Unfortunately, creating the plastics that we use in our day-to-day life is one of the largest sources of GHG emissions. In fact, the U.S. plastics industry is responsible for at least 232 million tons of CO2 gas emissions per year. This amount is equivalent to the average annual emissions from 116 average-sized (500-megawatt) coal-fired power plants in 2020.
Landfills are also a significant source of GHG emissions, particularly methane, with an annual emission impact equivalent to over 21 million passenger vehicles being driven for one year. Many plastic products are not recycled properly or are designed to be single-use, adding their volume as well as the food and other organic matter that often accompanies them to landfills directly.
How can plant-based products make a difference?
The increased use of plant-based products has a large role to play in reaching a “net-zero” future. Many plant-based, renewable resources can be used to create identical replacements to traditional, petroleum-based plastics. Providing additional environmental benefits, the feedstocks used to create plant-based products take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during their growing phase. Instead of trapping heat in our planet’s atmosphere, the carbon is used as a building block during the feedstocks’ production, and some is sequestered in the plant-based products themselves during their useful life.
A recent report from the USDA estimated that plant-based products displace about 9.4 million barrels of oil a year and have the potential to reduce GHG emissions by an estimated 12.7 million metric tons of CO2 equivalents per year. Investing in the greater use and adoption of plant-based products provides a better way to reach climate goals – one that isn’t reliant on fossil fuels.
Plant-based products, many of which are compostable, also present climate solutions with their sustainable end-of-life options. Compostable products, especially when used in food packaging or food service applications, can support the conversion of food scraps to compost at composting facilities. In 2015, 40 million tons of food waste were sent to landfills, becoming a significant contributor to total GHG emissions. Compostable products would help divert this waste to compost facilities instead. Plus, the compost they create is a valuable soil amendment, improving soil health and its critical role as a carbon sink. Currently, our country’s waste management system is not set up to take full advantage of the environmental benefits of compostable products. Supporting infrastructure legislation like the COMPOST Act is a way to help realize their potential.
Realizing A Circular Economy
Expanding the use of and infrastructure that supports plant-based products is necessary to realizing a circular economy – one where waste is eliminated and the life of products and materials is extended. PBPC continues to advocate for solutions that get us closer to achieving a circular economy. By working with policymakers and leaders in the sustainability community, we can take an important step towards slowing the impacts of climate change through the use and adoption of plant-based products.


Today, of course, environmentalists' theme of "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!" has changed to incessant chatter about global warming.
Comes this recent article from the Daily Caller:
If you think the Earth is hot now, try wearing plate armor in the Middle Ages.Read the entire article HERE.
A Swedish study found that the planet was warmer in ancient Roman times and the Middle Ages than today, challenging the mainstream idea that man-made greenhouse gas emissions are the main drivers of global warming.
The study, by scientist Leif Kullman, analyzed 455 “radiocarbon-dated mega-fossils” in the Scandes mountains and found that tree lines for different species of trees were higher during the Roman and Medieval times than they are today. Not only that, but the temperatures were higher as well.
Increasingly, scientists are looking away from human causes and looking at solar activity and natural climate variability for explanations of why the planet warms and cools.
“All other things being equal, adding more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere will have a warming effect on the planet,” Judith Curry, a climatologist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, told the Los Angeles Times. “However, all things are never equal, and what we are seeing is natural climate variability dominating over human impact.”
The Kullman study points to mounting evidence that climate is largely out of human control, as humans were not burning large amounts fossil fuels during Roman and Medieval times....
Environmentalists may not always be wrong. After all, even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while, and even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
On the other hand, the agenda of environmentalists often seems twofold: to scare people so as to keep them in panic mode, and to preach to us "scientifically" that we are evil consumers whose very existence threatens the existence of Planet Earth.
Your thoughts about global warming?
My thoughts about the reality (the first photo taken on December 9, 2013, and the second photo taken on December 10, 2013, here at the AOW household):
We're not in the deep freeze now, but it is clearly much colder than usual for this time of year!


The country is warming more than twice as speedy as the rest of the earth.
You may possibly feel of Russia — especially the northern places from St. Petersburg to Moscow and into Siberia — as one of the coldest destinations on Earth, but that was undoubtedly not the circumstance the earlier couple of days.
Everyday temperatures in St. Petersburg rose to a record-breaking 34 degrees Celsius (93 degrees Fahrenheit) on Tuesday as the town confronted the hottest temperatures it is viewed since 1998.
Temperatures in Moscow broke their all-time June record Wednesday when they arrived at 34.8 levels Celsius (94.6 levels Fahrenheit). The former document was 34.7 degrees Celsius (94.46 degrees Fahrenheit), recorded in 1901, the Associated Press documented.
And in Siberia on Sunday, the land area temperature, which steps how very hot the surface feels when you contact it, exceeded 35 levels Celsius (95 levels Fahrenheit), with peaks of 48 levels Celsius (118 levels Fahrenheit) in the vicinity of Verkhoyansk, and 37 degrees Celsius (virtually 99 levels Fahrenheit) in Saskylah, each of which are north of the Arctic Circle.
In Saskylah, an air temperature, which is what people today actually come to feel when they wander exterior, of 31.9 levels Celsius (nearly 90 degrees Fahrenheit) was recorded, the optimum benefit due to the fact 1936.
Russia is warming 2.5 instances a lot quicker than the relaxation of the earth.
“The very long-time period development is crystal clear in the month of June: Temperatures are climbing across Siberia because of to the influence of human-caused weather adjust,” Dr. Zachary Michael Labe, a postdoctoral researcher climate scientist at Colorado State College, mentioned. “This will keep on to dramatically have significantly-reaching impacts to marine and terrestrial ecosystems of the Arctic.”
“The persistence of the heat is what is especially striking to me — each for this summer time and in approximately all of 2020,” Labe added. “This is also relevant to the document-reduced sea ice ongoing alongside the coastline of Siberia.”
Temperature anomalies in the Arctic element of Siberia about the past two months clearly show that some areas have gotten hotter by 8 levels Celsius (16 degrees Fahrenheit).
“Unfortunately, previous calendar year also noticed document-breaking warmth across Siberia of a related or better magnitude,” Labe reported.
