The Global Temperature Just Went Bump – the hottest day in 125,000 years
- sharpshadow 2y agoAmazing congratulations on that magnificent article leaving out that we had 4 CMEs overlaying each other hitting the earth directly.[1] 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZXNTq2Z27Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZXNTq2Z27Q
- Workaccount2 2y agoThe article is referring to July 22nd. Which wasn't a particularly active day for space weather: https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/text/daily-geomagnetic-indices.txt https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/text/daily-geomagnetic-indice...
- moralestapia 2y agoDo they actually warm the Earth? I am not aware of this.
- Workaccount2 2y agohttps://www.swpc.noaa.gov/impacts/space-weather-impacts-climate https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/impacts/space-weather-impacts-clim... They do warm the earth, but not nearly as much as greenhouse gasses do.
- moralestapia 2y agoIt is not news that the Sun warms the Earth ... But CMEs actually cool it [1]. 1: https://www.colorado.edu/today/2016/12/14/researchers-dial-thermostat-earths-upper-atmosphere https://www.colorado.edu/today/2016/12/14/researchers-dial-t...
- nf3 2y agoAmazing congratulations on implying climate change comes from outer space.
- robertlagrant 2y agoYou've managed to pick the one angle for your response that's a bit silly. The sun does contribute to climate change, in all its forms.

- melling 2y agoBuild a green grid. Don’t need a genius for that. The conversation for the last 25 years: “Let’s build nuclear power plants. It takes a decades. Not enough time.” Recently the twist was added: “And by the way solar and wind are cheaper” Well, get it done! No geniuses needed!
- robertlagrant 2y agoJapan's mean time to build a nuclear power plant is 5 years. It takes long if you make it take long.
- obscurette 2y agoI read that one government in Europe promised to accelerate processes for defence and energy industries in the light of an existential crisis and will make decisions in one and a half years instead of three now. No, I'm not joking.
- Devasta 2y agoEnjoy it while it lasts, it'll never be this cold again.
- wizzwizz4 2y agoI'm optimistic. It'll never be this cold again within our lifetimes.
- sillywalk 2y agoWe could get a nuclear winter in our lifetimes.
- thebruce87m 2y agoThat’s the spirit
- dyauspitr 2y agoAs someone that enjoys 120 degree weather and hates the cold (70 and below) that sounds great to me but the lack of water is probably going to kill us all.
- ljf 2y agoThe 'problem' while the UK had a warmer than average spring - that warms was mainly from cloudy damp nights that hold on the heat - the days weren't particularly warm. The UK for one is likely to get cooler during the period of global warming, but with wider peaks and troughs and more rain.
- gorlilla 2y agoMore rain in the UK? Now that's taking the piss.
