Global Warming or Climate Change? |
|
Today, Sept. 19th, in Yuma AZ at 5 pm the temperature is 107 degrees F. Tomorrow, the high is expected to be 112 degrees F with one Monsoon rain all summer.
When I moved here 30 years ago, the summer temps began dropping down after the first week in Sept. Last year it was October 1st before we began to notice that summer was, finally, leaving us.
At least we don't have tornados, just an occasional earthquake.

2. You are observing what you believe is climate change that is occurring as a result of AGW |
|
You can confirm your observations in a number of ways. For example, you could link it to the recent changes in the "planting maps" that are used in agriculture which show the seasonal lines moving north.

Don't confuse weather with climate. Local weather cannot be used to determine climate.
I like the concept of Climate Deregulation. Look what deregulation did to banking. And we're essentially losing the ability for the planet to equilibrate. It could very well be the reason for your local weather.

What you are describing is called "weather".
