Oh, and expect certain quarters to claim the extreme rainfall numbers are merely a consequence of new rain gauges in wet places.Comment

Originally posted by SpontaneousOrder View PostPeople are probably thinking of this:The new record was said to have been set in a rain gauge at Honister Pass, just a mile away from Seathwaite, the farm that previously held the record and which has traditionally had the reputation for being the wettest place in the country too. However, Honister Pass is*700 feet higher*up the mountain, so we would expect it to be wetter even than Seathwaite. Morever Honister has only been in operation since 1970, and then only intermittently. In other words, the ‘new record’ is most likely down to someone installing a new rain gauge in a really wet place.My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.Comment

I hear he has been having sleepless nights over whether to defend the molluscs who will suffer from dredging or the earthworms who suffer when the plains get flooded.

Any Takers?
I, Mark Boslough, being of sound mind, do hereby challenge any individual or organization to a $25,000 bet that global warming is real and will continue. If the climatological average global land surface temperature goes up again in 2016, setting another new record, the party that accepts my challenge must donate $25,000 to a science education nonprofit of my choice. If not, I will donate $25,000 to a nonprofit designated by the accepting party.
Details are below. But it doesn't matter. It's a sucker bet. Everyone knows that global warming is real.
BTW, the last year in which the climatological average did NOT increase year on year was 1976. Good luck!My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.Comment

"If we don't reduce CO2 by this much by this time, temps will be this high and run away due to feedback, with catastrophic results."
I bet you the temp will be [no specific magnitude] higher next year! See... no takers. I win!

No doubt you'll quote an anonymous blogger who'll shoot it down in flames after an hour or two surfing the internet and reading a "climate research for dummies" guide.
