Hottest Global March On Record
Apr 19th, 2015 at 12:39am
 
Climate change: US agency says March hottest globally on record as Barack Obama urges action


Rising temperatures across the planet have set more records as the US government announced the globe experienced its hottest month of March since record keeping began in 1880.

The period of January to March was also the warmest on record, according to the monthly report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

The latest data, which takes into account global averages across land and sea surfaces, follows announcements from the same US government scientists that 2014 was the hottest year in modern history.

Scientists warn fossil fuel burning is pushing more greenhouse gas into the atmosphere, leading to increased temperatures, melting of polar ice and glaciers, and rising seas.

For March, the average global temperature was 0.85 degrees Celsius above the 20th-century average.

"This was the highest for March in the 1880-2015 record, surpassing the previous record of 2010 by 0.05C," the report said.

For the first three months of the year, the average temperature worldwide was 0.82 degrees above the 20th-century average.

That marked the highest ever recorded for that period, surpassing the previous record in 2002 by 0.05 degrees.

Also of concern was the finding that Arctic sea ice was the lowest on record for March.

"The average Arctic sea ice extent for March was 430,000 square miles (1,113,699 square kilometres, 7.2 per cent) below the 1981-2010 average," the report said.

"This was the smallest March extent since records began in 1979."

Climate change 'bigger than my presidency': Obama

The US president Barack Obama has used his weekly address to urge action on climate, saying it posed the world's biggest single threat.

"Today, there's no greater threat to our planet than climate change," Mr Obama said in his weekly address, which had an environmental theme to mark Earth Day on April 22.

"Climate change can no longer be denied, or ignored," he added, noting that 2014 was the hottest year on record.

The United States is the second largest greenhouse gas emitter after China, and Mr Obama has pledged to reduce US climate pollution by 26-28 per cent from 2005 levels by 2025.

"This is an issue that's bigger and longer-lasting than my presidency," he said.

"This is the only planet we've got. And years from now, I want to be able to look our children and grandchildren in the eye and tell them that we did everything we could to protect it."

Mr Obama, who has made the fight against climate change one of his priorities, hopes to help seal a global deal at an international climate conference in Paris in December.

Earlier this year Australia's peak science body CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology said updated climate change predictions confirmed what they had been saying for years: Australia is on track for increasingly extreme weather.

Tony Abbott is celebrating the new record by putting filthy brown coal and dirty black coal back on the power generation menu.

Abbott has discarded solar and wind to further exacerbate the situation.

The tipping point has already been reached. The system has momentum which will last a decade.

All we need now to cause concern is a huge CO2 bubble release from the oceans like the mysterious CO2 releases that occasionally occur in Africa and silently kill village inhabitants while they sleep. The incident below killed 1,700+.

The seas are becoming saturated with CO2 creating the possibility of releases like the one described below.

Quote:
The following is reprinted from Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader: World of Odd. Here’s the story of how scientists unlocked the secrets of the worst natural disaster in the history of the West African nation of Cameroon… and what they’re doing to try and stop it from happening again. THE DISCOVERY On the morning of August 22, 1986, a man hopped onto his bicycle and began riding from Wum, a village in Cameroon, towards the village of Nyos. On the way he noticed an antelope lying dead next to the road. Why let it go to waste? The man tied the antelope onto his bicycle and continued on. A short distance later he noticed two dead rats, and further on, a dead dog and other dead animals. He wondered if they’d all been killed by a lightning strike – when lightning hits the ground it’s not unusual for animals nearby to be killed by the shock. Soon the man came upon a group of huts. He decided to see if anyone there knew what had happened to the animals. But as he walked up to the huts he was stunned to see dead bodies strewn everywhere. He didn't find a single person still alive—everyone in the huts was dead. The man threw down his bicycle and ran all the way back to Wum. SOMETHING BIG Nyos village, where nearly 2,000 people were killed (Image Credit: Jack Lockwood) By the time the man got back to the village, the first survivors of whatever it was that had struck Nyos and other nearby villages were already stumbling into Wum. Many told tales of hearing an explosion or rumbling noise in the distance, then smelling strange smells and passing out for as long as 36 hours before waking up to discover that everyone around them was dead. Wum is in a remote part of Cameroon, so it took two days for a medical team to arrive in the area after local officials called the governor to report the strange occurrence. The doctors found a catastrophe far greater than they could have imagined: Overnight, something had killed nearly 1,800 people. Plus more than 3,000 cattle and countless wild animals, birds and insects—in short every living creature for miles around. The official death toll was recorded as 1,746 people, but that was only an estimate, because the survivors had already begun to bury victims in mass graves, and many terrified survivors had fled corpse-filled villages and were hiding in the forest. Whatever it was that killed so many people seemed to have disappeared without a trace just as quickly as it had come. LOOKING FOR CLUES What could have caused so many deaths in such a short span of time? When word of the disaster reached the outside world, scientists from France (Cameroon is a former French colony), the United States, and other countries arrived to help the country’s own scientists figure out what had happened. The remains if the victims offered few clues. There was no evidence of bleeding, physical trauma, or disease, and no sign of exposure to radiation, chemical weapons, or poison gas. And there was no evidence of suffering or “death agony”: The victims apparently just blacked out, fell over, and died. One of the first important clues was the distribution of the victims across the landscape: The deaths had all occurred within about 12 miles of Lake Nyos, which some local tribes called the “bad lake.” Legend had that long ago, evil spirits had risen out of the lake and killed all the people living in a village at the water’s edge. Both the number of victims and the presence of fatalities increased as the scientists got closer to the lake: In the outlying villages many people, especially those who had remained inside their homes, had survived, while in Nyos, which is less than two miles away was the closest village to the lake, only 6 of more than 800 villagers were still alive. But it was the lake itself that provided the biggest and strangest clue of all: its normally clear blue waters has turned a deep, murky red. The scientists began to wonder if there was more to the legend of the “bad lake” than anyone had realized. STILL LIFE

35 years may be far too late to save our species.

The best part is the fossil fuel sector and those that put their money into it are finally coming to terms with their position. They could be guilty of mass murder if they continue.

The government policy that forced Gas prices to almost double has made coal a more competitive product.

and next month NOAA will announce the same thing about April. Then NASA will take a turn.


and then in January next year MET UK will publish their annual global results and it will be like the last 18 years... NO CHANGE in temperature.

Has anyone ever wondered how NASA and NOAA manage to announce every month and every year as the hottest ever and yet somehow the final stats end up being completely different?

and the MOE is +/- 0.1 degree

truly awful science.
