Global warming
caused by
greenhouse gases
would be
mainly at night,
mainly in the
coldest six months
of the year, and
mainly in
higher latitudes.
Most affected
should be
the northern half
of the
Northern Hemisphere,
and the southern half
of the
Southern Hemisphere.
Since fossil fuel use
accelerated after 1940,
the Arctic has had
the most global warming ...
but the Antarctic has had
little warming
-- and that warming
was local -- only areas
on the coast that were
near underwater volcanoes.
The rest of Antarctica
has not warmed at all
since the 1960's, which
could not happen if
CO2 in the air
was the cause
of the local warming.
The Arctic experience
supports the greenhouse
gas theory.
The Antarctic experience
contradicts the greenhouse
gas theory.
And that means
climate science
is not "settled" !
Northeast US
qualifies as
a good location
to observe greenhouse
warming
-- not as good
as Alaska would be,
but decent.
but ... Most of the
Northeastern
United States
felt like Siberia
on Thanksgiving Day
( very cold here in
the Detroit suburbs too ),
with temperatures
15 to 25 degrees
colder than typical.
And this cold
was after 43 years
of global warming
( since 1975 ) !
Temperatures during
Thanksgiving morning
started off
near zero Fahrenheit,
in northern New England,
and near 30 degrees F.
in southeastern Virginia.
According to Accuweather,
over the past 150 years or so,
the most frigid Thanksgivings
occurred during the mid-1800s
to near the turn of
the 20th Century.
November 30, 1871,
holds the record
for the coldest
Thanksgiving Day
on record
in New York City,
with a low of 15
and a high of 22.
This Thanksgiving Day in NYC,
was 19 degrees in Central Park,
just a little warmer,
just a little warmer,
than the record cold
back in 1871.
back in 1871.
