Hi chuckles, to deal with your climate anxiety, I suggest you look into MAiD as a treatment. It’s a big scary world out there and not everyone can handle it.

chuck only watches the weather from the safety of under his bed with CNN. Dont know how a guy can farm with that kind of weather anxietyComment

The Turd told NATO, climate boiling bigger threat than Putin, so he is funding that and our tax makes Canadians rich while saving earth! Ain’t that god like all powerful all knowing!
Better worship the turd CC!Comment

Looks like we have the nato gritters ready to fight climate change now.
Translation; we cant fight russia or china cause we will get our asses kicked so lets fight carbon.Comment

Hurricanes and Climate Hysteria | Derrick Max The first hurricane of 2024, Hurricane Beryl, is now in the books. Beryl reminded us that hurricanes are a powerful force of nature – a force that clearly causes much fear and anxiety. The stronger and more destructive the hurricane, the deeper it becomes ingrained in our collective consciousness. Katrina, Andrew, Sandy, Harvey – hurricane names that will forever be associated with destruction and death. Sadly, as with most destructive weather events, these events quickly become fodder for climate extremists to tie our fear of these events to “climate change” or more specifically, “man-made climate change.” Beryl is no exception, “Is Hurricane Beryl the sign of another dangerous storm season? Climate change is fueling the frequency and intensity of storms” cried the headline in The Week. Surprisingly, the actual data rarely matches the headline, a fact that seldom gets coverage in the mainstream media. Even government agencies, according to meteorologist and oceanographer Bob Cohen, often lead with alarming statements about increased weather severity, but the data show a different story. The truth is that the number of hurricanes (remaining offshore and making land) impacting the continental United States hasn’t significantly increased over the past century. While Atlantic hurricane formation does exhibit a very slight upward trend recently, the records indicate a peak much earlier, as the graph below shows. Sparsely populated areas in the early 20th century might have missed weaker storms, leading to underestimates. Similarly, the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale used to categorize hurricanes based on sustained wind speed, with higher categories signifying greater destructive potential, also shows a very minimal increase in intensity over the last decade. More importantly, the causes of the modest increases are more complex than climate change – and there is little to no evidence linking the data to “man-made” climate change. There are cycles in ocean temperatures like El Nino and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) that are not climate change related and can impact hurricane activity. These naturally occurring patterns have an oversized impact on the number of hot days and hurricanes we experience. As can be seen in this University of Arizona chart overlapping AMO phases with hurricane patterns, AMO phases dominate the data.

Distinguishing long-term trends from natural variability requires a robust dataset – which currently does not exist. Reliable hurricane data with consistent recording methods only extends back to the mid-20th century, and the best records came with the satellites. Earlier records may be incomplete or lack crucial details like wind speed, hindering our ability to conclusively identify trends before this period. While the absolute number of U.S. landfalls might not be skyrocketing as the headlines suggest, several factors heighten the perception of increased hurricane risk which then fuels the climate extremist language. The 24/7 news cycle provides constant updates, amplifying public anxiety. The stronger the storm, the greater the coverage, the greater the sense of heightened danger – the greater the likelihood that it will be falsely attributed to climate change. As noted above, the psychological impact of past devastating hurricanes lingers long after the storm has passed. Events like Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which caused $65 billion in damages and 1,408 deaths, remain etched in our collective memory, shaping the public perception of hurricane risk even though no hurricane since has caused more than 83 deaths. Yet no one mentions that hurricane cost impacts are due primarily to population growth and coastal development. As more people reside in hurricane-prone areas, the potential for damage and loss of life rises. A Category 3 hurricane in 1900 striking a sparsely populated coastline would have a vastly different impact compared to one hitting a densely populated city today. Again, this is unrelated to climate change. The notion that the number of U.S. hurricanes has dramatically increased over the last century doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. Nor does the notion that hurricanes have become more intense. Yet, increasing number of Americans are willing to risk their and our collective economic vitality on the altar of “carbon zero” policies. These policies significantly increase the cost of doing business, reduce our competitiveness, and risk massive blackouts — all based on false reporting on climate change.Comment

This is something im "involved" a free weather service for farmers.
Glen i could give you a rough forecast for Meota if you want to message me be very rough but drying trend for you guys.
Climate change deniers cherry pick climate change believers cherry pick.
Media honestly is half the problem social media and tv etc. For intance and dont laugh yesterday our capital city was to have 6/10mm of rain , heavy at times. Morning media gobbed on about a "rain bomb" these heavy events "caused by climate change" nearly chocked in me scambled eggs.
Every 2 or 3 day period of 36/38c a heat wave crickeys longest ever i remember in early 80s was 15 days above 39c way before climate change became topical.
Dont get into pointless cut and pastes.
Occasionlly have rung "weather" journalist from city media who know naf. all and have a crack at em. They couldnt forecast a shower in a bathroom.
End of weather rant.

Hey im a climate change sceptic question everything.
Not a shot at you TSIPP wasnt intended that way.
Sceptic/Denier not the same similar yes but not same.Comment

Most on here have got a grasp of why its wetter why its drier and trends over the blocks of years going back to 70s. Our patch we are low rainfall but reliable.
Climate change is actually making us slightly wetter and bias to late spring summer like the 60s apparently. PS thats if it is climate change didnt word that well.
If i had to have a wild guess at prairie weather going foward say 2 months.......warmer than average but along with that wetter than average. Maybe just maybe tricky harvest for some.
What are the experts saying or chuck whats your for meota prognosis your ahead of the curveLast edited by Landdownunder; Jul 13, 2024, 02:16.Comment
