The new U.S. Climate Normals are here. What do they tell us about climate change?

A warmer normal

The U.S. Climate Normals collection has 10 versions: 1901-1930, 1911-1940 and so on through 1991-2020. In the image below, we’ve compared the U.S. annual average temperature during each Normals period to the 20th-century average (1901-2000). The influence of long-term global warming is obvious: The earliest map in the series has the most widespread and darkest blues, and the most recent map has the most widespread and darkest reds.



Annual U.S. temperature compared to the 20th-century average for each U.S. Climate Normals period from 1901-1930 (upper left) to 1991-2020 (lower right). Places where the normal annual temperature was 1.25 degrees or more colder than the 20th-century average are darkest blue; places where normal annual temperature was 1.25 degrees or more warmer than the 20th-century average are darkest red.

Post your little heart out chuck. Oil is going to$100+ a bbl. Wind and solar will never power anything and the world will need to go nuclear to satisfy the unhinged physics denying climate cult.

You will still be posting the same BS in 10 yrs.

The climate cult has some hard lessons in front of them.

I think the world will find a comfortable balance with electric car use mostly in warmer climate cities closer to the equator, all of the high horse power jobs will still be fossil unless there's a huge, huge jump in battery technology, the weight of the batteries eventually stalls efficiency.
Wind and solar will tag along powering electric tooth brushes.
Jazz you're right, oil is going to get pricey and Cameco will do well.

What all this talk of Climate Change has taught me, especially in the last 5 years, is that I need to pack my winter coveralls and touque around all spring and fall. As well as 1/2 the summer days. Not lying.

Say there Chuck, I see report China produces 27% of carbon emissions,more than all the developed countries combined!
They are running 1058 huge coal plants and adding more all the time.
We sequester 30 to 40% more carbon than we produce just with our massive forests. Not counting all our wetlands grasslands etc.
We have one half of one percent of the world population and near 10% of the worlds trees.
Use your own brain to figure out where this is going to go.
Chicom have won that one and we keep shooting ourselves.

Ya let’s all put all our chips down on science telling us about global warming. 30 years ago when I was in grade school I was told in science that we will have another ice age. Now they are telling us we are going to burn up. Great science. I wonder what the story will be in another 30 years. I bet it will be another headline story that will be aimed at extracting more dollars from the public. Keeps the tax dollars going and that’s about it.
