The sea ice pushed back on shore yesterday at the eastern edge of the Beaufort Sea, trapping the rowers behind it.

O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
An’ foolish notion:
What airs in dress an’ gait wad lea’e us,

UH?research ties stronger El Niño to global warming

An analysis of thousands of tree rings from around the Pacific Rim reveals that El Niño activity is at its highest level in seven centuries, and researchers at the University of Hawaii suggest that is likely due to global warming.

How ingenious! The 1998 temperature spike caused the Super El Nino!

Looks like there is no shortage of choom in Hawaii these days.

I went ahead and wrote their next press release for them

Unpredictable ice conditions caused by global warming have made the rest of our trip impossible this year. Congratulations to the team for successfully navigating all the way from Vancouver to the mouth of the McKenzie River.

I attended the 1970 Wimbledon final with my father, between Ken Rosewall and John Newcombe. At the time it was the longest match in Wimbledon history. The weather was hot and the grass was completely brown that summer.

Today’s match is looking like it will be a classic too.

Droughts, wildfires, floods, storms: Climate change appears to be exacerbating these phenomena around the world. And in the United States, at least, preparations for the impact of global warming on our lives are paltry.

Global warming causes extreme weather!

If history is any guide, however, these “natural” disasters may be just the beginning—at least, that’s the implication of a comprehensive new book by British historian Geoffrey Parker, “Global Crisis: War, Climate Change & Catastrophe in the Seventeenth Century.” Behind a tumultuous and grueling series of revolutions, wars, and famines, which ultimately killed off a third of the human population, was a culprit, he writes: a period of global cooling known as the Little Ice Age. Extreme weather caused crop failures, which led to hunger, disease, and forced migrations, which in turn translated to political and social chaos.

04 Jul 1936 – WIMBLEDON FINAL. PERRY RETAINS TITLE. Von Cramm …

In July, 1936 Fred Perry won the men’s final at Wimbledon. That was the last time a Brit won.

July, 1936 was also the hottest month in US history, with temperatures running twelve degrees above normal in the center of the country.

This year, July temperatures in the center of the US are running about ten degrees below normal.
