Re: [cayugabirds-l] New Mexico Mass Motality

Let's get back to birds. This is a birding listserve. I have studied this at length and disagree. I do believe in man-made global warming but I don't believe it causes record cold. The climate has warmed 1C so we still can see record cold with our current climate. The frequency is less though,

Re: [cayugabirds-l] New Mexico Mass Motality

Record cold over North America is indeed consistent with global warming. It is a regional consequence of the global phenomenon. To explain it simply (as I was supposed to do in the elementary course I taught of years and years, “Evolution of the Earth and Life”), the principle of the thing is

Re: [cayugabirds-l] New Mexico Mass Motality

I have to jump in here. Sorry. When it is warmer in Nome Alaska than Ithaca NY the jet stream has a very high amplitude. Waves with high amplitude have a lot of energy. The jet stream derives its energy from the temperature differences from polar regions to the midlatitudes and subtropics.

“Record cold of this magnitude is not consistent with global warming. “ Why not? Global warming doesn’t mean warming happens all over the globe evenly. I’ve been watching our area in the northeast for the last decade, thinking mostly about Snowy Owl incursions, and I’ve noticed strange changes

Re: [cayugabirds-l] New Mexico Mass Motality

The western U.S has a history of extreme temperature changes. This event ranks number 3 for the biggest temperature swing in history and it occurred during fall migration. Most of the other big swings in temperatureoccurred in the winter. What is dramatic is how cold it got and the early snows

Re: [cayugabirds-l] New Mexico Mass Motality

Thank, Pete, for passing along the Guardian article. Additional information has been forthcoming recently. Hypotheses include movements related to smoky conditions in some states, coupled with those weird temperature swings recorded last week (90 to 100 F one day and below freezing, with snow,

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Montezuma

The Refuge is currently short-staffed. Work on flooding the Visitors Center pool was scheduled to begin last week but problems were encountered with the pump. They are working hard to resolve the problem. I wouldn't be surprised but in the next few days there will be water in that area. Not sure
