Scientists from San Diego and a dozen countries around the world are gathered at the University of San Diego this week to share their latest research. Among some of the major topics at the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference are climate change, heat waves and ocean acidification.
Geophysicist Peter Ward, who worked for the U.S. Geological Survey for nearly three decades, discussed warming global temperatures during his Wednesday session.
"There's a very interesting correlation between warming and volcanism at the end of the last ice age," Ward said.
He said the past two years of record warmth can be attributed to more than greenhouse gases. Ward blames ozone depletion caused by the Bardarbunga volcano eruption in Iceland in September 2014.
"It was the biggest flow of basalt that's been observed since 1783," Ward said. "Now that's good news, because if it's Baroarbunga that's causing the warming, next year we can expect it to be getting cooler again."
Global temperatures in 2015 were nearly 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit above the average for all of the 20th Century. This year is on track to be even warmer, Ward said.
The conference wraps up on Friday, but the topic of soaring temperatures will likely continue to dominate discussions in San Diego as the region is expecting triple-digit heat this weekend.
Terrorist attack threatened in San Diego. A twofer? :/
I have taken some election surveys and there’s always a global warming question.
“How important is Global Warming to you?”
If I could click “i dont give a #### about a farce”, i would.
but i just click “not at all”
I wish i could say i stuck my head out the window and it’s a very nice day outside. Bye.
Did they fly in? On airplanes?
Record warmth? Certainly not in these parts. Record BS more likely.
Uh, what? If they’re from all over the world, how’d they get to San Diego? It’s a long ass walk from some of those places I’ll bet. No doubt to further push the false assertions that human induced climate distruption is responsible for weather. FAIL!
You think it will be hot in San Diego in July? Did they meet in Alaska in January back when it was global cooling?
I think they’re playing it safe. No chance of snow therefore no embarrassment.
Apparently talking about global warming is mightier than the hockey stick.
There were huge dairy farms in Greenland from about 1000-1400. When will the globe warm enough to start them again?
I lived in San Diego in the early 80’s. 72 and sunny, every. damn. day. Year after year. Decade after decade. Millennium after millennium.
Wonder how the Global Warmists in that neck of the woods justify their existence? ;)
What percentage of global warming is due to the hot air emitted in yapping about it?
Weather Channel founder John Coleman lives in San Diego.
I wonder if they invited him to speak?
What a joke. The Antarctic— THIS week hit record lows exceeding 80 degree below zero. Who are they kidding?
Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.

I’ve been repeating it for several years. The increased seismic activity and volcanism are probably caused by increased outer core and mantle movements indicated by increased geomagnetic field movements. Increased methane leaks result. Weak spots in the field caused ozone depletions, as do natural methane leaks.
The weather changes are not caused by mankind. They’re natural, occasional occurrences. Some of the most influential constituents have been trying to find ways to further control the populace against new, small production starts. They want production to continue to be very centralized and don’t want markets to change.
They don’t want us to engage in any truly productive activities (small owner-building, small manufacturing, small agriculture, etc.).
No smoking hot spot1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.
Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.
If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.
As of sometime around May, there had been as many eruptions during the year so far, as a rough average for each of many years before. If the trend continues, it will set a record going back for an extreme number of years.
Is more debris being pushed into the atmosphere? Don’t know. More eruptions doesn’t absolutely assure more debris. If drought and more extreme temperature fluctuations come to some areas again (at least in the West) for the next two or three years, then probably so.
So where is magnetic north? Not the NOAA prediction based on an inexplicably revised data set. When was the last time that the point of magnetic north was pinpointed by a physical expedition on site? Not for several years. Why? Because it’s much harder to locate for sure, if it’s moving around too much.
The geomagnetic field continues to develop weak spots because of the extra movement (outer core, etc.).
