Earth's Hottest Decade on Record Marked by Extreme Storms, Deadly Wildfires

[Bergslagstroll]

The devastating effects of climate change have been felt all across the world this decade, that was the warmest on record.


"Deadly heat waves, wildfires and widespread flooding punctuated a decade of climate extremes that, by many scientific accounts, show global warming kicking into overdrive.

As the year drew to a close, scientists were confidently saying 2019 was Earth's second-warmest recorded year on record, capping the warmest decade. Eight of the 10 warmest years since measurements began occurred this decade, and the other two were only a few years earlier.

Arctic sea ice melted faster and took longer to form again in the fall. Big swaths of ocean remained record-warm nearly all year, in some regions spawning horrifically damaging tropical storms that surprised experts with their rapid intensification. Densely populated parts of Europe shattered temperature records amid heat waves blamed for hundreds of deaths, and a huge section of the U.S. breadbasket region was swamped for months by floodwater."

There the decade ended with a year with extreme weather all across the world.

"Climate breakdown played a key role in at least 15 events in 2019 that cost more than $1bn (£760m) in damage, with more than half of those costing more than $10bn each.

Extreme weather including floods, storms, droughts and wildfires struck every inhabited continent in the past year, causing devastation and loss of life. Christian Aid, which tracked climate-related destruction in 2019, said the costs in human terms and insured losses were likely to have been underestimated.

Floods in Argentina and Uruguay in January this year forced 11,000 people from their homes. Cyclone Idai killed 1,300 people in Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi in March, and Cyclone Fani struck India and Bangladesh in May and June. A stronger than usual monsoon killed 1,900 people in India."

I've noticed many deniers have accepted that global warming is a reality, but they cling to their refuted/debunked claim that humans are not the major contributor and that it will not get as bad as the great majority of scientists have said of those scientist that have said anything. Many also say that CO2 is not the problem. They use the excuse that the planet goes through hot/cold periods naturally and that is what's happening now. Or, we haven't figured out yet what is really happening, it's just not anthropogenic. I just may live long enough to see people leaving regions for becoming too hot to live. As it is, the most heat or cold related death (extreme weather events) in the world, by country rank, going back to 1900, have occurred since 1998.

Ok but trying to force solutions isn't working. You need only look at California for that. They forced PG&E into subsidizing green energy, diverting funds from grid maintenance and improvements, then made them liable for grid failures now forcing them into bankruptcy where there is no money for grid improvements or green energy subsidies.

The evidence for manmade global warming is overwhelming.

"The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is extremely likely (greater than 95 percent probability) to be the result of human activity since the mid-20th century and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented over decades to millennia.1

Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. This body of data, collected over many years, reveals the signals of a changing climate.

The heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases was demonstrated in the mid-19th century.2 Their ability to affect the transfer of infrared energy through the atmosphere is the scientific basis of many instruments flown by NASA. There is no question that increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause the Earth to warm in response.

Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that the Earth’s climate responds to changes in greenhouse gas levels. Ancient evidence can also be found in tree rings, ocean sediments, coral reefs, and layers of sedimentary rocks. This ancient, or paleoclimate, evidence reveals that current warming is occurring roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming.3"

Federal agencies' climate research have been under oversight and scrutiny from the Bush administration, the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress that deny the need for action on climate change. There the result is that federal agencies countinue to acknowledge the urgent need for action because the evidence is so overwhelming.

"The devastating effects of climate change have been felt all across the world this decade, that was the warmest on record."

Seriously? How much of the record do you need to discard to arrive at this fantasy? The "instrument record" starts in about 1880 and was based on sparsely distributed stations globally. Most were in the US and England to start.

The satellite instrument record uses data collected much more globally and only started shortly before 1980.

You are asserting that 140 years on the one hand or 40 years on the other is meaningful in a range of more than 4 billion years.

Even when eliminating the statistical smoothing resulting from analyzing proxies and then pretending current instrument record can be shown with the proxies as something meaningful, we are STILL not in the warmest decade(s) ever.

You seem to be asserting that no variant climate events occurred before 1880. That is obviously false.

Incidentally, without satellites to "see" it, a hurricane that never made landfall was unnoticed in "the record" before 1980. Any continuity of pre and post satellite data regarding hurricanes is suspect.

There is simply not enough reliable data to make the kinds of assumptions you are presenting as facts.

Even within the instrument record, data collected in the past and previously analyzed and homogenized has been changed from time to time to results that conform more closely to narratives you espouse.

This is not to say in any way that climate does not change. In truth, it seems more likely that climate does change, has ALWAYS changed and will continue to change.

However, lamenting the ongoing change and attempting to revert our climate to some imagined ideal at the coldest point of the Holocene seems pointless and oddly misinformed.

We are really at a fairly cool point in the temperature record oner the last 100 million or so years.

We are currently cooler than the warmest points of temperature in any of the interglacials over the last half million years.

We are currently cooler than most of the Holocene following the warmest point coming out of the latest ice Age about 8000 years back.

Compared to most of the climate record, our CO2 concentration is higher than at most of the points on the 100 million year record. The causal link you assume to exist seems to not exist.
