As an apocalyptic haze blanketed Seattle last week, temperatures soared into the 90s and left Seattleites ruing their lack of air conditioning.
Welcome to the future?
Scientists project climate change will exacerbate wildfire activity. Extremely hot days — 95 degrees and above — are expected to become more common.
How hot will it get? A consortium of researchers with the Climate Impact Lab has analyzed two consensus climate models and projected changes nationwide. The lab shared data for each of Washington’s counties with The Seattle Times.
Historically, King County has averaged less than one day (.37) a year at or above 95 degrees.
But by 2080-2099, this value will likely increase to between 2.5 and 8 days, assuming countries take action on climate change roughly equivalent to agreements in the Paris climate deal. If emissions are at a higher pace that assumes population growth and only modest action on climate change, King County residents will likely see between 6 and 26 of these extremely hot days, and have a 1-in-20 chance of having 39 days of 95 degrees and above.

Goebbels was a piker compared to these guys.
So then, because they are having a heat wave it must be global warming??? There’s no other reason???
“But by 2080-2099, this value will likely increase to between 2.5 and 8 days, assuming countries take action on climate change roughly equivalent to agreements in the Paris climate deal...”
I see they give themselves a 63-year window now, versus 3-5 years. Longer time frame to bilk the STUPID out of their cash.
The enemy is nothing but tenacious and not afraid to look foolish!
Well then, Seattle better get going on the new power sources they’re going to need for the additional air conditioning demand.
What to make of the Northeast’s seasonably normal temperatures and rainfall this year?
Well it has been hot - and smokey with the haze drifting down British Columbia brush fires. Makes for outstanding sunsets and moonrises.
Am I supposed to break out my boat or my zinc oxide?
So... any mention of the comparatively cool weather in the Midwest?
I say all those in poor Seattle without air conditioning should move in to Al Gore’s home. He has room.
If Seattle does have ten hot days per year 80 years from now it will be the result of changes in solar activity.
And there won’t be a damned thing any of us can do about it.
These guys must be using empty beer cans to make their models.
2080? I will be long gone by then or 123. My bet is long gone.
Does this mean that I’ll finally be able to visit there and not get rained on in other than the six weeks of summer they enjoy?
Kent Brockman: So, Professor, would you say it’s time for everyone to run around in the streets in a panic?
Professor: Yes I would, Kent.
The high will be 64 today near NYC.
Oh Noes....oh wait............!
Cold weather is weather. Hot weather is climate.
Is the author of this piece, Evan Bush, a fool, or a sucker, or both?
Evan Bush is certainly no rocket scientist, rather more of a distressingly pedestrian jump-on-the-bandwagon type of ignoramus.
So-called ‘climate models’ have demonstrated no ability to predict regional changes. None whatsoever.
Garbage in => garbage out.
At least Evan Bush can pat itself (I wouldn’t want to guess at the properly-constructed pronoun to use in this case, would I?) on the back for being a garbage-in/garbage-out recycler.
Here’s about how many things those models have predicted in the last 30 years
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Here’s how many of those they got right
X
Here’s how many they got demonstrably/scientifically/observationally wrong
XXXXXXXXXXXX
That single X they got right is not global temperature. Why would anyone consider them credible on future temperature?
[number of Xs are wild approximations that give a reasonable visualization of actual values. They are not actual values. I want to acknowledge that up front to avoid being compared to a climate scientist or have anyone propose a $trillion tax based on my “graphs”].
