onthedarkside Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Deadly heat and humidity across India, Bangladesh, Laos, and Thailand in late April was made significantly more likely by climate change, scientists say. In parts of Bangladesh, temperatures soared to 105 degrees F (40.6 degrees C), while several Indian cities saw highs of 111 degrees F (44 degrees C). Laos and Thailand recorded temperatures up to 109 degrees F (42.9 degrees C) and 114 degrees F (45.4 degrees C), respectively, all-time highs for both countries. The hot spell led to a spike in heat strokes across the region.

vandeventer Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Yes, it is getting hotter, we need more rain. Normally it would be flooding in some Area's where I live. Lets hope the rains come soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTMtdwqKo88 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because you or I have decided, based on our local or regional weather, that this is the case. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world, Thailand included, is expected to face an intense drought due to the occurrence of El Niño, leading to reduced rainfall during the rainy season, or possibly no rain at all."

JackGats Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 El Niño was first used by Peruvian fishermen to describe the oceanic condition 4 centuries ago. This hasn't prevented alarmists from turning it into a climate change thing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opposite to what you claim. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This hasn't prevented alarmists from turning it into a climate change thing. Faulty logic. Just because climate phenomena existed in the past doesn't mean they're not affected by climate change. The currently predicted strong El Nino almost certainly is. It follows a highly unusual 3 year, wrongly timed La Nina that drove California's recent drought. A new paper now shows the abnormal La Nina was triggered by massive particulate matter from abnormally severe Australian bushfires 2-3 years ago, almost certainty due to climate change. Here are refs, some with neat graphs and videos. https://news.mongabay.com/2023/05/australia-bushfires-may-have-caused-global-climate-phenomenon-la-nina-study/ Original paper: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adg1213 https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/graphics/2023/05/20/graphics-el-nino-is-building-what-this-means-for-the-worlds-weather/70211954007/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course. No one reckoned the climate boys would leave out such a popular item as El Niño. Everything is down to climate change these days.

I guess your argument is just because the entire globe, both land and seas are getting warmer, that doesn't mean climate change is going to affect the entire globe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
