People froze to death in Texas, and Siberia hit +30C... doesn't that seem at least a little odd?

Not at all. It's called weather, and it's been happening since long before the industrial revolution.

Somebody made a post saying that the Grand Canyon would have taken over a trillion years to form with the Colorado river flowing as it does today. Earth is 4.8 billion years old. 14000 years ago much of North America was covered in ice up to 2 miles thick (reference pending, I may have misread this). Maybe the Grand Canyon formed in those short years as the ice melted. Maybe our assumption of such a stable climate on Earth is wrong.

So they will have more private flights. More CO2 is likely. Can you please provide some quantification of reduction when you post these articles?

...maybe private flights are next? [ponder]

That would have to start with the experts. You know: John Kerry, Bill Gates, Al Gore, everybody involved in the IPCC or WEF, etc...

Dik,

I hope you realise that Texas is quite large, and Siberia is many times that. Siberia is much larger than, you guessed it, Canada. Siberia does get hot and cold, like Canada

but 30C set an all time record... The coldest I've been is -55C and Siberia gets a lot colder...

As far a size, Texas is about half the area of Manitoba. About 30 years back, I was joking with a Texas engineer, "Is there any truth in the matter that Clinton (pres at the time) was going to cut Alaska in half and make Texas the third largest state?" He replied, "There is nothing that 'expletive' would do that would surprise me."

No point in arguing, but 30C is not an “all time record” high in Siberia.

I’m confused. I thought global warming was expected to decimate global food production?

Must be just a temporary anomaly…

Sorry hokie... even worse, the temperature was 38C. Not anywhere near Death Valley, though... but it's working on it.

"The UN weather agency said Tuesday it has certified a 38 C (100.4 F) reading in the Russian town of Verkhoyansk last year as the highest temperature ever recorded in the Arctic, the latest in a string of "alarm bells about our changing climate."

Not decimate, but may change it a bit. We don't know what the end result will be. Parts of the world be affected and others will not. It also depends a bit on how hot things get.. [pipe]

Good for France. Without short haul flights maybe the climate evangelists will stop holding their meetings there.

Are there maps of CO2 concentrations over the globe (other than the records in Hawaii), and how they change over the course of a year ?

I remember seeing, from the Hawaii data, that there is a huge seasonal variation.
