nightdog_barksIt is like April here, chiclets. 73 degrees (22.8 degrees Celsius), humid as all get-out, wet and misty, tornado watch. This is spring weather. Lots of birds in the backyard, including robins, titmice, chickadees, mourning and white-winged doves, and gorgeous little Cedar Waxwings, which I don't normally see around here until ... spring. *g*
In other news ... two more zaps to go. :-D

(And we spotted five deer on North Campus, who normally don't make themselves seen until late February, but then we also saw them in December, it's been so mild.)

James Hansen, who is one of the leading climate researchers and two other climate scientists have posted a draft paper at the above link saying that last summer's heat wave (and possible the drought as well) plus the heat wave in Moscow in 2010 were definitely caused directly by ongoing climate change. The article used weather data from the last 50 years in the study and concludes that such an extreme event was unknown before the global increase in temperatures we are seeing now. The basic conclusion is that we can expect many more of these heat waves as well as other extreme 100 and 500 year events of all sorts going forward. In other words it's going to get worse and we've basically got ourselves to blame.
