Title: Drought-hit China launches massive well drilling operation to save stricken wheat crop

BEIJING (AP) - China says it is launching a massive well drilling operation to save the crucial wheat crop stricken by the worst drought in decades.

The plan to drill 1,350 wells across eight northeastern provinces follows the announcement of plans to spend $1 billion to alleviate the drought.

China is the world's largest wheat growing nation. Expected shortages of the crop in China have already pushed up global prices for the commodity.

The government's Office of State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters said Friday that as of Thursday afternoon, 17 million acres (6.75 million hectares) of crops had been affected by drought. Nearly 3 million people are short of drinking water.

“More intense and longer droughts have been observed over wider areas, particularly in the tropics and subtropics since the 1970s. While there are many different measures of drought, many studies use precipitation changes together with temperature. Increased drying due to higher temperatures and decreased land precipitation have contributed to these changes”. Further, they write “Although precipitation has increased in many areas of the globe, the area under drought has also increased. Drought duration and intensity has also increased. While regional droughts have occurred in the past, the widespread spatial extent of current droughts is broadly consistent with expected changes in the hydrologic cycle under warming. Water vapour increases with increasing global temperature, due to increased evaporation where surface moisture is available, and this tends to increase precipitation. However, increased continental temperatures are expected to lead to greater evaporation and drying, which is particularly important in dry regions where surface moisture is limited.”

Yet another IPCC prediction is coming true.

In a week's time, we're going from

-17 to 70.

And for the rest of our lives, the new normal.

Global Warming Hysteria: Weather Has Not Grown More Extreme Due to Warming

http://libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=17541&Disp=0

Now, I know I’m not going to change the minds of any of the True Believers…those who read all of Reverend Al’s sermons, and say things like, “You know, global warming can mean warmer OR colder, wetter OR drier, cloudier OR sunnier, windier OR calmer, …”. Can I get an ‘amen’??

Global Warming Hysteria: Weather Has Not Grown More Extreme Due to Warming

Senator Jim Inhofe: " temperatures got colder after C02 emissions exploded."

It's going to be 60 degrees in the D.C. area this weekend, about 20 degrees warmer than usual.

Global Warming Hysteria: Weather Has Not Grown More Extreme Due to Warming

A new study by a Duke University-led team of climate scientists suggests that global warming is the main cause of a significant intensification in the North Atlantic Subtropical High (NASH) that in recent decades has more than doubled the frequency of abnormally wet or dry summer weather in the southeastern United States.

The NASH, commonly referred to as the Bermuda High, is an area of high pressure that forms each summer near Bermuda, where its powerful surface center helps steer Atlantic hurricanes and plays a major role in shaping weather in the eastern United States, Western Europe and northwestern Africa.

That’s from the Duke University news release for a new study in the Journal of Climate.

As it happens, the project’s initial findings, published last month, show no evidence of an intensifying weather trend. “In the climate models, the extremes get more extreme as we move into a doubled CO2 world in 100 years,” atmospheric scientist Gilbert Compo, one of the researchers on the project, tells me from his office at the University of Colorado, Boulder. “So we were surprised that none of the three major indices of climate variability that we used show a trend of increased circulation going back to 1871.” In other words, researchers have yet to find evidence of more-extreme weather patterns over the period, contrary to what the models predict. “There’s no data-driven answer yet to the question of how human activity has affected extreme weather,” adds Roger Pielke Jr., another University of Colorado climate researcher.

Now, I know I’m not going to change the minds of any of the True Believers…those who read all of Reverend Al’s sermons, and say things like, “You know, global warming can mean warmer OR colder, wetter OR drier, cloudier OR sunnier, windier OR calmer, …”. Can I get an ‘amen’??
