Palestine News Network - Meteorology Centre to PNN: global warming causing drought and temperature spikes
Meteorology Monitoring Stations Network Director Mohammad Abu Bakr confirmed to PNN today that after a week of forecasts of snow coming under sunny skies and high temperatures, “Thunderstorms are on the way.”Remember the "good old days" in years like 1881, 1876, 1839, and 1737, when worldwide climate was so stable and benign that individual hurricanes only killed hundreds of thousands of people?
...
By Thursday and Friday temperatures will be back above yearly averages. Today is reaching 20 degrees Celsius with an overnight drop to 10, but in the Gulf the opposite is happening. It will finally warm up after an unseasonably cold winter.
...
He said that it is not only the local area that is off. “Changes are taking place throughout the world with higher temperatures in some areas, lower in others and a increase or decrease in rainfall. We are seeing worldwide unusual snow and floods, drought and heat. These phenomena are resulting from global warming and the climate change associated with it.”
While hurricanes like Katrina were nightmares with more than 1800 deaths; Hurricane Katrina can’t even hold a candle to the 11th worst Hurricane in history. Take a look at the eleven worst recorded hurricanes in history!
