Climate Change Climate vs Weather • Weather – short term condition of the atmosphere • You hear a daily weather report NOT a climate report • Climate – long term atmospheric conditions • Usually recorded from decadal trends Mr. D’Aleo is a Certified Consultant Meteorologist and was elected a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Cycles of Global Warming Image based on data from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. Posted By Marc Morano – 9:51 AM EST – [email protected] Cooling Underway: Global Temperature Continues to Drop in May 'Significantly Colder' - 16-month temperature drop of -0.774°C! Sea level change since 1993 Global Land-Ocean Temp Index Antarctica and Greenland Mass Variation Global Temp Difference From NASA.gov • • • • • Carbon Dioxide – 404.93 ppm Global Temp - 1.7 degrees F (since 1880) Artic Ice - 13.3 % Land Ice - 281.0 gigatonnes/yr Sea level - 3.4 mm Also from Nasa • • • • • • • • Temps continue to rise Growing season lengthen Changes in precipitation patterns More droughts and heat waves Stronger and more intense hurricanes Sea level rise 1-4 feet by 2100 Artic Ice free in the summer Midwest. Extreme heat, heavy downpours and flooding will affect infrastructure, health, agriculture, forestry, transportation, air and water quality, and more. Climate change will also exacerbate a range of risks to the Great Lakes.
