Study: Temperatures go off the charts around 2047

WASHINGTON (AP) — Starting in about a decade, Kingston, Jamaica, will probably be off-the-charts hot — permanently. Other places will soon follow. Singapore in 2028. Mexico City in 2031. Cairo in 2036. Phoenix and Honolulu in 2043.

And eventually the whole world in 2047.

A new study on global warming pinpoints the probable dates for when cities and ecosystems around the world will regularly experience hotter environments the likes of which they have never seen before.

And for dozens of cities, mostly in the tropics, those dates are a generation or less away.

"This paper is both innovative and sobering," said Oregon State University professor Jane Lubchenco, former head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, who was not involved in the study.

To arrive at their projections, the researchers used weather observations, computer models and other data to calculate the point at which every year from then on will be warmer than the hottest year ever recorded over the last 150 years.

Nice quote from Mickey Mann of PSU. He of the hockey climate model.

There has been no temperate increase but rather a decrease for the past 13 years. They can’t even admit to that real fact not a computer model.

Of if we get to 2047 I will be 102 years old. I gave caring long before that

We’ve already seen our first snow outside of Cody, Wyoming. No globull warming up here.

You can't get that kind of heat on tropical islands and ignore melting ice caps and rising seas. It can't be one without the other.

So logically, one shouldn't worry about the temperature in Kingston because Kingston would be long underwater by then, so they said.

The message here is:

Even though you might be cool or freezing now, you just wait you non-believing crackers ...You’ll be sweating your fat butts off 45 years from now and all your water will have been boiled away...You’ll all be drinking reptile urine...

I saw that, and the comments that were posted were still mocking in tone.

"This paper is both innovative and sobering,"

Given that the writers were drunk?

The total number of cattle killed in South Dakota by the snow and cold is 75,000 now. And I do not think it is sellable.

One of the nice things about future predictions; they can be completely off the wall, and no one will even remember.

This guy is just plain cuckoo. Nuts. La-di-da. Two or three cards short of a full deck.

Just like Paul Erlich told us in 1972 the world would end by the year 2000 because of overpopulation. Obviously it didn’t happen.

Rush started his Al Gore Doomsday clock on January 27th, 2006. Which means we have slightly more than two years to go. You’d think the warmers would realize that their bluff had been called. Or, maybe you wouldn’t.

I should still be alive in a decade. I want to find a way to store these articles, and have a reminder to follow up on them... need to start a site to do that.
