We were warned about this just last week!

A cool gentle rain is falling here in Tempe as I write. Just came back from lunch and was dodging water puddles. Reports of any kind of catastrophic drought here are vastly exaggerated. Weather here is just fine.
What happened on Alpha Drive? When I lived there about 40 years ago it was a beautiful place and the center of campus activity. Now it looks Dresden in 1945.
Alpha Drive is still alive and well – most of the recent expansion of the campus at ASU has been south of Alpha with the construction of the new dorms for example. Over the years ASU has become ginormous – I think it has one of the highest student populations in the country.
Oh and more on that drought:

Yes, there’s always something us clever humans can do if we really need to.
We find most unwelcome and unexpected weather anamolies happen during spring and autumn seasons.
These are the periods when warm (or cool) atmospheric pockets meet cool (or warm) pockets giving us local or regional weather extremes, i.e. sudden hail, storms etc
What we are experiencing now is a similar phenomenon on a global (or climate) scale. i.e. we are changing from a warming regime to a cooling regime.
These extremes will probably last for another year or two before settling down to it’s remaining 30 year cool cycle.
In the meantime, brace for heatwaves in some places, cold snaps in others. Extreme wet in some, drought in others.
Nothing new, nothing unprecedented, nothing unusual.
BUT its Catastrophic….
Steve,
I have been reading your blog on a daily basis, but admittedly, not just for the science info. It is mainly for exposing the blatant fraud of main stream climate science, and the irony that you so perfectly use to humiliate them (if that is possible). Like sunshine on a very cold, snowy, dreary North Eastern day.
Thanks

“I have to concur that we “ain’t seen nothing yet.” I concur because that’s the gist of what I wrote back in 1997 in my 11-part series “The Iceman Cometh.” I came right out and said it, and provided scads of facts to back up my predictions”

Cold, hot, wet or dry-it’s all caused by global warming! And that fact has been peer reviewed by the world’s greatest climate scientists.
This is the problem with peer review. Can you imagine the articles that we might not have heard of that may have altered our understanding of “climate change” but were turned away during peer review.
Yes and I have read some of them also!
And courtesy of the Arizona Republic newspaper, yet another Sunday front page story about the low drought-caused lake levels of Lake Mead (“Arizona drought prompts unusual water proposal” http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/news/articles/2010/12/26/20101226arizona-drought-colorado-river-water-proposal.html ). The key sentence is one near the end: “Extra water could be released from Lake Powell, which is upstream from Lake Mead….”
Uhhh…. where does extra water come from during a drought, in a reservoir of that size?
Russell:
I lived within 20 miles of Lake Mead for over 50 years and trust me when I say the entire situation with those two lakes and the entire river system is to complicated to unravel. Also many claims will be made and most are not based on reality.
In a desert, drought is what makes the region a desert. With an annual average rainfall, the last I heard, of 3 to 4 inches for Southern Nevada it is in a state of continual drought. Where I live now 3 to 4 inches is a good week of rain.
Indeed, just the point I’m getting at, compared to what the newspaper article author was implying. What he fails to mention in this and a prior Lake Mead article is how dramatic the lake level rise is in Lake Powell over the last three+ years. This area around here in a severe drought? Not likely when one of the lakes is rising in a big way, it has much more to do with water allocation issues. Yet, readers who only glance at the articles take away the impression this whole area is drying out, that Lake Mead will soon turn into a dry canyon, due of course to global warming.
Yes, the global warming faction has total control over everything when it comes to the weather and climatology, etc. Anyone who puts out stuff that disagrees gets pretty much ignored by the “mainstream” media, etc. But the signs are there that the present interglacial period may be ending, and that we may enter a new glacial period. Some of the basics are explained for the layman in the Wikipedia article on paleoclimatology. I really like this article because there are layers of info, you can delve deeper into the parts you want simply by clicking on the appropriate charts.
There was a good report a few years back that put forth a scenario regarding an abupt climate change. It was authored by some respected futurists for the US DoD. The link for it is:

and as for me, I have started an Abrupt Climate Change Group on Yahoo Groups. You can find it at:
