Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat


Quote:Oh, hi Malabarjag. Fancy seeing you here. Your first paragraph is complete bunk. I'd be interested in seeing some citation for the second, then we can talk about it.
 

1) Thanks for another well thought out response from you.


 
2) Here's a link. While wiki is generally not good for controversial topics, the US state records aren't controversial. The data here agrees with other sources, and is more compact and easier to read. If you don't like wiki there are plenty of other sources, just google "US state record temperatures."


 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state...e_extremes
 
I was wrong about there being more cold records, an additional hot record I hadn't seen since the last time I looked at this data has balanced them out. Since 1990 there have been 8 record highs and 8 record lows, only two each since 2000. That 25 year period is roughly 18% of the period since 1885 which is the year of the earliest record, meaning one should on average expect 9 record highs and 9 record lows in that period. So recent weather hasn't been extreme, at least temperature-wise, compared to the past. It also hasn't had an excess number of high records compared to low records, as would be expected during a warm period in history.


 
Looking closer at the dates one can see four separate heat events (five states set records from one hot spell in June 1994) and five separe cold events (three states in Jan. 1994, two in Feb. 1996). No meaningful difference there either.


 
 So much for global warming or extreme weather in the US.


 
And before someone points out that the US is only 3% of the globe, it is 1) PART of the globe so if the warming is global it should show up here too, and 2) the US has a significant percentage of the world's long-term (since 1900) thermometer readings. There are no thermometers in the 70% of the world that comprises the ocean, and nothing until recently in most of Africa, or South America. Not a lot of measurements in Antarctica either.
