"Winter easing its grip on Northeast; Temperatures rising .08 degrees a decade" by Carolyn Y. Johnson, Globe Staff | December 11, 2008
The quintessential New England winter - frozen ponds, frigid days, and neighborhoods blanketed in white - is quietly fading away, as the season gets warmer and less snowy, according to an exhaustive new study.
This after a BRUTAL and RECORD-SETTING SNOWFALL last winter!
Analyzing four decades of winter climate data, beginning in 1965, University of New Hampshire scientists found that regional temperatures are rising at a rate of 0.8 degrees per decade. Meanwhile, the number of days with snow on the ground is decreasing at the rate of 3.6 days per decade, the study found.
Look at this! They gotta go back to 1965 to prove their point. Of course, if they started say at 1998, they would find the planet has been getting COOLER!! I'm so tired of them lying about the WEATHER of all things!!!!!
Both trends have intensified with time and were strongest in the heart of winter - January and February.
"A lot of people who have lived in the Northeast for 30 to 40 years have witnessed a distinct change in the character of their Northeast winter," said Elizabeth Burakowski, lead author of the study and a climate researcher at UNH. "Climate has changed in the past, and it will change in the future, but what makes this period distinct is we're witnessing this change in a human lifetime."
If the climate is always changing (as it is), then how is this the first time we are witnessing it in human history?
Oh, readers, this is just MORE HOT FART MIST from the Boston Globe!!
FRONT-PAGE FART MIST!!!!!
****************
Other studies have shown that winters in the Northeast are warming faster than other seasons, but this work used a more rigorous analysis and also suggested a possible way in which changes in snow cover may amplify warming effects.
They are incredible!! If there is any way they can shovel the bullshit, they do!
When the Northeast looks as it does on holiday greeting cards, covered in a pristine shell of fresh powder, it changes the way the earth absorbs heat from the sun, because white snow reflects heat away from the earth. But when there isn't snow cover, the ground absorbs the heat, which may contribute to the earth's warming.
Yeah, good thing there was snow on the ground from Veteran's day to April last year!!! Sigh
The authors found that climate stations in northern Maine reported less warming - and hypothesized that it might be because those northerly areas are more likely to be covered in snow. If so, that would explain "the enhanced warming we're seeing" with less snow on the ground in other areas, said study coauthor Cameron Wake, a UNH climatologist.
If these guys said the sky was blue, I'd have to go look for myself! Don't hurt yourself twisting into contortions there, fart-mister!
For now, the region is experiencing something of a weather whipsaw. Yesterday was the warmest Dec. 10 ever recorded in Portland, Maine. But with that news came a warning from the Maine Emergency Management Agency about a wintry mix of weather beginning tonight.
Yup, ONE WARM DAY and the Globe is HOLLERING GLOBAL WARMING!!
Meanwhile, we have a SEASON of FRIGID COLD and RECORD SNOWFALL and are told. "you can't go by one day or one season!" Yeah, well, the earth has been COOLING since about 1998, so GO BLOW!!!!
"This whipsaw of weather from really warm days to cold days back to warm days may in fact be an indication of the weather we're going to experience in the future, in a world warmed by greenhouse gases," Wake said....
This guys will stop at nothing to explain away their bs!! They are as contemptible a crew as you will find these days.
While snow is an emblem of winter in many people's minds, it is not the best way to understand warming; the issue is really about average temperature.
Yeah, whatever needs suit the agenda. Just stop putting them by incinerators and air-conditioner exhaust, 'kay?
"We still haven't gotten to that magical point where the freezing line is breached, and it's going to be difficult to get it to snow," said David Robinson, a professor of geography at Rutgers University. "Last winter is a wonderful example. . . . New England got clobbered last year, although it was not a cold winter."
WTF is he TALKING ABOUT? I LIVED THROUGH IT and he is a LIAR!!!!!
As for the freezing line, until yesterday, the ground had been FROZEN for a MONTH!!!!
Did you notice how on the FIRST DAY of UNUSUAL WARMTH the paper started screaming GLOBAL WARMING while basically IGNORING the COLDEST OCTOBER on RECORD?
And it is FREEZING TODAY!! Just checked the thermometer, and it says 30 degrees!!!!
