Alaska Ping.

So much for climate change.

And records began?? Hell...we haven’t even begun to touch Alaska.

Despite holiday cold snap, 2019 is ‘virtually certain’ to be warmest year on record for Alaska

Heck. I’m breaking a sweat just thinkin’ about it. It’s never been warm in Alaska. Ever. Nope not ever.

I’m still trying to figure out why warming temps are so horrible ... wouldn’t it give the world new, rich arable land and more fresh water? Wouldn’t we need less coal and electricity for heating? The hottest areas are still going to be hot, maybe deserts expand a bit, but the most ecologically diverse lands are equatorial and warmer temperate zones. Just imagine how much more wheat and corn could be grown up into Canada. And the Polar bears and other wildlife will adapt.

FYI, for all you idiots out there who think global warming is a hoax, hot weather is climate, but cold weather is just weather.

“Virtually certain” LMAO!

On a related note:

Daily CO2 readings
Dec 27 2019 412.6 ppm
Dec 27 2018 408.83 ppm
+3.77PM in one year

Read that number . Let it sink in.
If this trend continues, we would need 40 years to double the ppm. and have +5.3 C of warming, according to the latest science.

The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere increases every year. The early years at Mauna Loa saw annual increases averaging about 0.7ppm per year, increasing to about 1.6 ppm per year in the 1980s and 1.5ppm per year in the 1990s. The rate rose to 2.2 ppm per year during the last decade. There is abundant and conclusive evidence that the
acceleration is caused by increased emissions, Tans said. https://scripps.ucsd.edu/pr...

I don't think anyone can say that for Minnesota.
