They're been showing An Inconvenient Truth again on Pivot. In Al Gore's slideshow he speaks to the fact
of disappearing ice caps and more moisture in the air=rain, rain, rain. Or in other area's; extreme drought.

But even now; several years later the morons in congress are still denying it.
Why do people still get happy when they find out they're having a baby? It's beyond me. Lord knows what
those poor kids will have to go through. That is; if they're even born with a normal sized head/brain. (Zika virus/mosquitoes)
Insects will rule the day and with more poisons spewed into the air in trying to kill them off ; more bee's
will die too. Bye bye groceries.
Humans can be so clueless. A small % break through sometimes; but not often.

The red snow, or watermelon snow, in the Arctic,
. . . could have a major role in the warming snow,
. . . researchers determined in a study published on Thursday.
Global warming models should take into account,
. . . the possible repercussions of this phenomenon.
The melting problems in the Artic,
. . . have reached a record-high level due to its ice has thinned up to
. . . 65% between 1975 and 2012.
According to a report from National Snow & Ice Data Center,
. . . Arctic sea ice covered 5.61 million square miles at its maximum extent in 2015,
. . . making it the lowest point since the satellite record-keeping started in 1979.

108 on Monday. Relentless.
Over 2 weeks of 100+ degree "weather"
(I put it in parentheses because some ass hat will argue that it's not climate change but merely weather.
Yeah right. Pollution from coal, cattle and cars has caused this heat to continue to build, so screw their
so called argument.)

Deadhorse Alaska has just had a record ever high, 85F. Not exactly 108, but for a location on the shore of the Arctic Ocean, a record. Apparently the Alaska temperature anomaly for the first half of 2016 is 9 degrees F. See http://www.usatoday....cords/87086826/

According to the United Nations weather agency,
. . . global temperatures for the first 6 months of 2016,
. . . have been high enough to set this year up as,
. . . the hottest year in recorded human history.

Utah’s Great Salt Lake,
. . . (75 miles long, and 35 miles wide,
. . . . . . the largest salt water lake in the Western Hemisphere)
. . . is drying up!
40% of the water running into the Great Salt Lake has been diverted.
. . . Coupled with reduced precipitation in the region, it’s a recipe for disaster.
. . . 50% of the lake bed has been exposed, nearly
. . .1/2 of the water has dried up.

In Central Asia,
. . . the snow-covered Himalaya-Hindu-Kush mountains, and
. . . the Tibetan Plateau contain the largest ice mass on the planet,
. . . outside of the polar regions, and
they are also experiencing dramatic melt,
. . . threatening the water supply for more than a billion people.

I remember back in the good old days of just 4-5 years ago when we had a vibrant community here (and before that many
members had great discussions at the now defunct Treehugger forums)
We weren't that happy with knowing our global temperature had already risen 1 degree and we discussed ideas
and solutions if 2 or 3 degree rise in global temperatures were to happen.
But we were excited about solutions. We knew we could change the way our Earth was heating up.
Yes, those slight degree rises are based on global averages
but
that's little comfort when in mid October 2016 in the Texas panhandle; we're 24 degrees above average.
It's 96 degrees here today;
94 tomorrow,
93 the day after.
Average this time of year should be in the 70's (high temps)
(You remember fall right? Crisp, cool days. Orange, red and yellow leaves falling to the ground? )
How any one can deny climate change is unfathomable to me.
(But then again having a sexual predator running for the highest office in the land is also unfathomable) but
that's another thread.
I guess we're not vibrant (and very few people are even talking about climate change) anymore because
the ones that KNOW it's real have given up
and the ones that deny it exists will never be convinced, so we have stopped trying.
Magnificent planet while it lasted. :(

"Dodge City, Kansas, set a new record high for the entire month of October on Sunday, topping out at 99 degrees.
Records date back to the late 1800s in the southwestern Kansas city.
Amarillo, Texas, topped out at 98 degrees on Sunday, making it the warmest day so late in the season there.
It was also just one degree shy of tying their all-time October record high.
At least one location in Texas reached the triple digits on Sunday.
The panhandle town of Perryton near the Oklahoma border was 102 degrees.
Slapout, Oklahoma, also hit 102 degrees on Sunday, making it the hottest temperature so late in the season for the entire state"

Climate Change Thaws Permafrost.
Cracking and collapsing structures are a growing problem in cities like Norilsk,
. . . a nickel-producing centre of 177,000 people located 180 miles above the Arctic Circle,
. . . as climate change thaws the perennially frozen soil and increases precipitation.
Valery Tereshkov, deputy head of the emergencies ministry in the Krasnoyarsk region,
. . . wrote in an article this year that almost
. . . 60% of all buildings in Norilsk have been deformed as a result of climate change,
. . . shrinking the permafrost zone.
Local engineers said more than
. . . 100 residential buildings, have been vacated hered
. . . due to damage from thawing permafrost.

It may be all undone with trump at the helm and another denier heading the EPA but we shouldn't forget
all the progress made under the Obama administration.
