October 2005: Second Warmest October on Record |
|
Chart data indicate Global Temperature Anomalies in .01 C as compared to the base period: 1951-1980. This month's "75" represents an anomolaous temperature 7.5C above the baseline. The three warmest Octobers in history have come in the last three years. http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata/GLB.Ts.txt

1. You can't prove Global Warming because of just one month |
|
Just like you can't prove global warming because the Hurricane season is the worst on record, or because an Ice berg broke up in Antarctica. You can prove it on any of those things, there simply is no proof that global warming exists

3. It's unending in Wisconsin as well |
|
Mid November and the temps are in/near the 60s. To date, we've had frost once or twice. We even had a thunderstorm the other night.

10. The trees are turning colors in the Philadelphia suburbs |
|
The trouble is that this level of coloration is expected in the middle of October, not November. For the last few years, we've been two weeks late with the leaf-change of autumn; this year, it is four weeks.
And I didn't think the heat fully explained it, since the leaf phenomena are supposedly linked to light, not warmth.
Last night the temperature went into the 20s for the first time; tomorrow, it will be nearly 70 in the afternoon again. That's also October weather.
The world's climate is changing, and quickly.

4. Usually, we've had a little snow in SE Michigan by now |
|
Nothing yet. Not even close. I'm so damned hot today, it's warm and humid, to the point that the windows are steamed up, just like when we lived in Florida! I may have to turn on the AC in November for the first time in the ten years we've lived here. Am having a hot flash on top of everything, LOL... we chicks in our 40's don't stand a chance in this global warming crap!

5. I'm not sure that we have had a single night below freezing here. |
|
The high today will be near 60F, and I think this is the coldest day this week.
The guy who cleans my gutters told me everyone is scheduling gutter cleaning latter than usual because the leaves turned so late this year. He says he's never seen anything quite like it.

6. Ever since this tornado in Evansville, |
|
nightly, on either the local or national news, I've heard talking heads say it's not unusual for tornadoes in November. They always, every single day, have found a way to slip that in.
Now, I've no idea - I can't refute their statement because I don't know where to go to check, but it's like they got their talking points memo from the (ha ha) Science Division of the White House, telling them to stress, at every turn, that tornadoes in November are fine.
Also, we've not yet had a good frost.
I'm in NE Indiana.

7. still warm down here in southern Indiana |
|
a degree or two shy of the record highs for the last two days. It is weird. I went on a long run this morning at 8 am, and it was 72 degrees. Lovely, balmy weather. It's supposed to be cooler tomorrow though, but I think it will still be in the high 60s this weekend when the next chance of thunderstorms happens. (The storms Sunday morning sure got our attention here in the Louisville area. They came through 4 to 5 am, severe thunderstorms with lots of lightning.)
I don't know if tornados are normal in November around here, but it does seem to me that there's always a round or two of severe weather in the late autumn in these parts. Of course the real fireworks are usually in the spring, April through June.
