Gee it's hot - The Climate Change discussion thread

We got 300mm in 2 days. Crazy rain for this time of year.

Polar opposite of Wagga where I've just been which is in a severe drought.

Yep was a bit of a shock midweek driving to Griffith. I mean.. we hadn't gotten the rain in Canberra until yesterday - but there was clouds about and it was dark and shifting around even when I was driving down on Tuesday.

Got there in the dark on Tuesday - but Wednesday the sun was blazing, not a cloud in sight and bone dry - and then the drive back was the same - cloudy and overcast in prep for the rain the next day.

Most of Victoria is in a drought too. Flying out of Wagga was an eye opener. All you could see was brown paddocks until almost Sydney.

I'm surprised such intelligent thinking such as identifying sarcasm went over your head Mr Literal.

What do volcanoes have to do with climate change? - NASA Science

Volcanic eruptions are often discussed in the context of climate change because they release CO2 and other gases into our atmosphere. However, the impact of

And if the eruption is big enough they can cool the earth down significantly for years.

1883 eruption of Krakatoa - Wikipedia

Global climate

The eruption caused a volcanic winter.[24] In the year following the eruption, average Northern Hemisphere summer temperatures fell by 0.4 °C (0.72 °F).[25] The record rainfall that hit Southern California during the water year from July 1883 to June 1884 – Los Angeles received 970 millimetres (38.18 in) and San Diego 660 millimetres (25.97 in)[26] – has been attributed to the Krakatoa eruption.[27] There was no El Niño during that period as is usual when heavy rain occurs in Southern California,[28] but many scientists doubt that there was a causal relationship.[29][failed verification]

The eruption injected a tremendous amount of sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas high into the stratosphere, which was subsequently transported by high-level winds all over the planet. This led to a global increase in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) concentration in high-level cirrus clouds. The resulting increase in cloud reflectivity (or albedo) reflected more incoming light from the sun than usual and cooled the entire planet until the sulphur fell to the ground as acid precipitation.[30]
 
I know words are scary loopy but science is science. Maybe try and read something for once in your life and maybe you might learn something.

As for 'credible sources' I've asked you what passes as 'credible' and you've refused to answer me so the onus is on you, not me, to provide 'approved' sources.


Also. Lol for 'credible'.

the terrorist attack on the trains has been all over the news in Russia and many other international outlets

are you saying it didn't happen? yes or no?

and why cant you stay on topic instead of dragging another thread topic into this one? could it be that you're unable to back up your position on this topic?

That was a result of you attacking Wikipedia and NASA. I was contrasting your 'credible sources' with mine.

As to backing up my 'opinion', it's not an opinion, it's fact.

The science of volcanoes, their effect on the climate relative to man made co2 and what can happen when they go kaboom in a big way is well documented.

yes volcanoes make anything man does on this planet completely insignificant by comparison

this is the point you need to get into your anesthetised skull

Well they do and they don't. Maybe you should read the links.

I don't particularly want to hold your hand the whole time.

I'm not reading your retarded links. The point stands whether your 'links' agree or not.
