National Parks affected by the climate changes
« on: July 03, 2022, 05:40:23 am »

Quite alarming article about all kinds of climate changes on the National parks.



Quote
"It was really striking to see that every single tree seems to be getting hit by either climatic changes; it could be dying from drought, or it could be insect attack or fungus, but they're certainly weakened," Dickman, a forest ecologist with the National Park Service, told CNN. "There's a big shift happening right now, and it's right in front of our eyes."
The consequences of the climate crisis -- more wildfires, devastating drought, sea level rise, flooding, ecological disease -- are plaguing the country's national parks. Most recently, unprecedented flash flooding overwhelmed Yellowstone National Park and some of its surrounding areas.
Scientists and officials say it signals a dramatic change unfolding at the nation's most prized parks. And unless the planet slashes fossil fuel emissions, scientists believe the climate crisis could drastically alter the landscapes, cultural sites and ecosystems in the parks, potentially making them inaccessible for humans and uninhabitable for other species.

Oh, no! Not another climate-alarmist article!

That must be only the alarmists who like nature and the national parks. And some scaremongers are spreading fake news that the Earth is round.

Don't you get it Slobodan? When it's hot, it's global warming; when it's cold, it's climate change; when a global warming meeting needs to be postponed because of cold weather and heavy snow fall, well, that must be global warming/climate change/climate crisiss/ or whatever. Our local newspaper, the Oregonian, once a week has an article by some organization or another about what happened in the past week; highest and lowest temperatures, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. etc. and they regularly add what they think is the reason for what happened. The don't use the term climate change or global warming, but - drum roll please - global heating.
I'd like to introduce a term for the climate alarmists: global nitwits.

Well, when you lack the necessary education and experience to refute the science... there's always name calling.

Not only in USA.

ROME – Parts of a mountain glacier collapsed in the Italian Alps on Sunday amid record temperatures, local authorities said, killing at least six people and injuring eight.
The Trento provincial government said rescue operations were in progress after a large “ice avalanche” involving hikers, adding that there was likely to be a “heavy toll”. The avalanche took place on the Marmolada, which at more than 3,300 metres is the highest mountain in the Dolomites, a range in the eastern Italian Alps straddling the regions of Trento and Veneto. Injured people were taken to hospitals in the nearby towns of Belluno, Treviso, Trento and Bolzano, said the president of Veneto, Luca Zaia.

The huge mass of ice collapsed close to Punta Rocca, on the route usually used by hikers and climbers to reach the summit, the Alpine rescue unit said. “Fortunately the weather conditions are good but the danger is that there could be further collapses,” a spokesperson said. An early summer heatwave in Italy saw temperatures on the Marmolada touch 10 degrees Celsius (50 Fahrenheit) on Saturday, Zaia said. Rising average temperatures have caused the Marmolada glacier, like many others around the world, to shrink steadily over recent decades.

No comment.
And as we've come to expect, no photography, a concept of photography, experience with photography. Carpet poop yes. *Nothing new here!
*You've got to love the behaviour of someone who about once a month walks into the room, takes a dump on the carpet and departs, never to be seen again until next month.

Indeed from this side: no comment. On your imagery photography; there are no examples to suggest any have ever existed.  ;)
Here's a forum specifically for you sir, no pretend photography experience necessary:

Well, when you lack the necessary education and experience to refute the science... there's always name calling.

The name-calling exists on both sides of the opposing arguments. For example, those who are skeptical about the 'potentially catastrophic effects' of human CO2 emissions, are often called 'climate change deniers'.

Any person who denies that the climate has always changed, over time, in most parts of the world, is surely a nitwit.  ;)

Nitwits need not apply:

Quote
Summer in America is becoming hotter, longer and more dangerous
Nitwits playing climate scientists on photo forums should ignore:
Quote
Scientists say the recent spate of severe summers is a clear change from previous generations. The average summer temperature in the past five years has been 1.7 degrees (0.94 Celsius) warmer than it was from 1971 through 2000, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. But some parts of the country have been much harder hit, with the West showing a 2.7 degrees (1.5 Celsius) increase.
Researchers have found that some heat waves in recent years, including the one that struck the Pacific Northwest last year, would have been virtually impossible without human-caused global warming.

Those who are skeptical about the 'potentially catastrophic effects' of human CO2 emissions, are often ill-informed amateurs pretending to be better informed than climate scientists who have spent their adult lives studying and analyzing the mechanisms and effects of climate change. In order to distract from their lack of knowledge, they will sometimes engage in transparently phony attacks on climate scientists.
