This below normal temps point only to one thing:Global Warming
We may already be entering a mini-ice age and not know it.
perhaps the computer models missed a variable or 100?
The NWS is LUCKY to get a 3-day forecast correct for a geographical

Is there a world wide collection centre for data on tornadoes?
I have been trying to think of a way of searching for them but all I
can come up with just gives me lists and lists of tornadic events.
The US centre for archived data only lists the number of events state

I am an amateur who is interested in the classification of clouds, and I
am working through my collection of cloud pictures that I have taken
myself.
I am in doubt about a few of my pictures, and I would appreciate if

Clearly, the atmospheric CO2 concentration is rising

Can you suggest other forums on the web or usenet groups that can answer
questions related to weather radars? Questions associated with things like:
- the display of radar data
- modern hail detection algorithms

I'm looking for a site that will simply provide rainfall totals by month in
a table format for Dallas, TX.
It seems simple enough to me, but I spent 1.5 hours looking for this data to
no avail.  I couldn't even find the current rainfall total for the current

4-13 -- 4-14, big time weather
I predict more than 1,000 reports

I was wondering since everyone here, except me, has a degree in
Climatology. Where did you get your degree?
Since this is the last stop on usenet for Global Warming information I
thought I would ask.

March was the 4TH warmest on NASA's 128-year record
How many more years of rising temperatures and increasing
CO2 levels will the fossil fool Rip van Winkles sleep
through?  Meanwhile, global mean surface temperatures

Hi. I'm trying to understand how near-surface pressure observations
are assimilated in Numerical Weather Models. Obviously it is important
to remove any variation of pressure with height before comparing model
pressure to observed pressure values. Surface pressure is often

" . . . climate sensitivity [to 2X CO2] greater than 1.5 °C
has probably the Earth's climate system over the past
420 million years, regardless of temporal scaling."
