It's amazing how those sneaky Ruskies keep getting their missiles closer and closer to NATO bases without even moving them!!
How can we hope to compete.

Asked my Chinese friend if her city had been affected by the storms a few weeks ago. They weren't, but she recalled one from a few years back when water was up to her waist and hundreds were killed. Tornadoes and earthquakes make headlines, but droughts and floods kill people.

Media is reporting of a tsunami affecting Uummannaq, Nuugaatsiaq, Illorsuit and Upernavik. following a earthquake 40 km north of Uummannaq.
There are yet unconfirmed reports of fatalities, and evacuations are taking place because of the risk of aftershocks.

Followup on TigerTown's post on Portugal:



A forest fire in Portugal, exacerbated by extreme heat, has claimed the lives of at least 57 people, many who died in their cars as they tried to escape.

sounds more like Sicily than souther europe, no such thing here in andalucia, we had fog for the second day and cool night temps on costa del sol. i know you see things right but newspaper headlines rarely serve to draw the right picture of events which is why they're headlines, made to catch peoples eyes for spontaneously purchasing the paper :-) or read online with adds.

until now this is a very pleasant summer with zero days beyond 36C at the coast east of tarifa while this does not apply to costa del la luz, seville and cadiiz as well as parts portugal. those had their heat events this year, interstingly on the atlantic side (which is normally way cooler than the mediterranean side in mid/late meteorological summer )

EDIT: furthermore it's much more humid than normally. we had rain in july, very rare as well as folg and high relative humidity while the norm would be dry air between 28 and 50% rel. hum. depending on the time of the day.

Europe heatwave sparks health warnings as temperatures soar

www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-40825668


coolest summer since 11 years in southern spain, hence take news with a prise of salt. what's Europe, sweden, spain, italy greece, each with their own peak years and cool years. it's like saying americans are like ......... where in california or new york? huge difference. european summer hat peak temps in june in some places and temps on the cool side in others and again i did not have to sleep one single night on the sofa in the airconditioned living room as compared to the last 11+ years in southern spain.

you know by now how much i appreciate your spot on contributions but this is just not a statement that is true under the "europe" label. we each day at breakfast discuss and enjoy the ectraordinary cool nights for july and early august and we know the difference whether we can open our windows at 10 pm or 03 am ;)

i'm always fuming when i hear news weather telling that it's cold in spain = madrid at minus 1C while at the costa del sol it's 15-20C, same applies to summer heat where sevilla hits 40C+ each year in june and rarely gets below 30C till mid/end september while temps at the coast can be very pleasant. that's only spain weather and calling "europe" hot that includes scandinavia, british islands as well as greece, poland, spain, portugal and the likes is simply to simplistic and mostly outright wrong.

there are hotspots indeed but they are not european but local and most of europe is currently on the cooler side. watch this image of europe:

36 in madrid for example is not hot, it could be much hotter, way beyond the 40ies.

same applies to portugal, 31C in lisbon is no heatwave at all, it's quite pleasant for the time of the year.

in my place we call it hot beyond 36C and night temps hardly below 30C or even above 35C that's what we call a heatwave and currently we are permanently 10C below that for almost 1.5 months and enjoy a historically "cool" summer.

that's nothing personal but headlines are not helpful to narrow things down since too many people know they are disconnected, sorry the word, "fake news" an in the aftermath shed a bad light on the facts that really matter.

 magnamentis,
I don't see any of the places in this article that you have mentioned specifically that have wrong information. If there was a train wreck in my hometown, a headline may read," American Train Wreck Kills Two" and mainly on the world news, but that does not mean that it happened everywhere in America or the U.S. This article gives specific times and dates of events including fires. Which of these do you dispute? Also,
Quote
At least two people have died - one in Romania and one in Poland - and dozens more have been taken to hospital suffering from conditions related to the extreme weather, Reuters news agency reports.
Is the World's most known news source lying?  And,
Quote
On Thursday, temperatures hit 43C near Rome while Sicily recorded 42C as a blanket of hot air from Africa swept through the Mediterranean.
Which of these are not true?

People who argue against global warming use a similar argument to say that it is not warm everywhere. It is an average of temperatures from all over the area, and there is always some places that are going to be pleasant nearby.

it's ok, it was the "europe" term while it's local but you are right, it's common to word things like you did, wasn't necessary to be so d ;)etailistic

magnamentis,
I probably would have worded it different myself, had I written it, but what can you do. Like you said, they write the headline to get attention. That is most likely why Neven is so ticky about how we word our posts. It detracts from it later, if something is over-stated.

P.S. Sorry if I over defended. It is an old habit, you know. Take care.

ohhh... no, i'm glad you did reply, this way i learn to do things better, i need this kind of feedback, less about what but about how to word/post things as you say. constructive feedback makes that much easier and i'm grateful for that.

wish you a nice sunday  8)

I wasn't sure where to put this since it might have fitted in Antarctica or Science or some of the other sections. Perhaps we need a thread on history of science.  Anyway, nosing about the byrd site i found this charming remembrance of John Mercer from two years ago



If you want to know more about Mercer, his obituary in the journal of glaciology (open access) is

http://www.igsoc.org/journal/34/116/igs_journal_vol34_issue116_pg136-138.pdf

Many good ice researchers live at byrd. Many videos.

"Scientists announced today that a core drilled in Antarctica has yielded 2.7-million-year-old ice, an astonishing find 1.7 million years older than the previous record-holder. Bubbles in the ice contain greenhouse gases from Earth’s atmosphere at a time when the planet’s cycles of glacial advance and retreat were just beginning, potentially offering clues to what triggered the ice ages.
