The ABC article went on to blame “climate change” for making weather patterns unpredictable. The article also mentioned other tropical South Pacific islands are also experiencing cold weather.Beanies, scarves and puffer jackets come out as near-record chilly weather hits parts of the PacificBy ABC Pacific’s Nick Sas, Samoa reporter Adel Fruean, Tonga reporter Marian Kupu and Toby MannThe people of Tonga know how to adapt to the extremes of the natural environment.Key points:Cyclones, volcanic eruptions and the impacts of climate change are elements they’ve learnt to live with. But the cold weather? That’s a different matter.“Right now we’re experiencing much colder temperatures than normal,” Rita Prema, a shop owner in the capital Nuku’alofa told the ABC.“We’ve got customers coming in for coffee mugs, vacuum flasks, teapots and insulated bottles to keep their hot beverages warmer through these colder nights.”…
- A weather system pulling cold air from south of Tonga has helped drive temperatures to near-record lows
- Members of Tonga’s royal family donated blankets to freezing prisoners and patients in a psychiatric ward
- The lowest temperature recorded in Tonga was 8.7C in September 1994
But last week, the country recorded its second-lowest temperature ever, at 9.3 degrees Celsius.According to Tonga Meteorological Services, the lowest temperature recorded in the country was 8.7C in September 1994.…

Strangely the ABC forgot to use the latest UN buzz phrase “global boiling” to describe the situation in Tonga.Let’s hope the world gets global warming under control, otherwise we could all freeze to death!
The simple FACT IS, that ANY WEATHER FORECAST 10 days out isn't EVER going to be 100% accurate, or even 10% accurate. It's been that way since the first forecasters ever existed. And no amount of "globull warming" is going to change that FACT. IN EITHER DIRECTION!!roadkill » 06 Aug 2023, 6:46 am » wrote: ↑ "The ABC article went on to blame “climate change” for making weather patterns unpredictable."
As we know the weather man doesn't always predict the forecast correctly. Al Gore has the same problem.

So once again, these MSM ASSWIPERS think they can make BOGUS **** CLAIMS and keep the LWNJ lemmings lined up for their own demise. Then they cheer when it happens.

And from CNNaganda, you should not expect anything less than wall to wall propaganda and LIES!!
So ****, explain how the COOLING AT 21 deg off the EQUATOR is caused by "global warming"!!razoo » 06 Aug 2023, 9:44 am » wrote: ↑ What Is Global Warming?
Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth’s surface observed since the pre-industrial period (between 1850 and 1900) due to human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere. This term is not interchangeable with the term "climate change."
Since the pre-industrial period, human activities are estimated to have increased Earth’s global average temperature by about 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit), a number that is currently increasing by more than 0.2 degrees Celsius (0.36 degrees Fahrenheit) per decade.
The current warming trend is unequivocally the result of human activity since the 1950s and is proceeding at an unprecedented rate over millennia.

What Is Climate Change?
Climate change is a long-term change in the average weather patterns that have come to define Earth’s local, regional and global climates. These changes have a broad range of observed effects that are synonymous with the term.
Changes observed in Earth’s climate since the mid-20th century are driven by human activities, particularly fossil fuel burning, which increases heat-trapping greenhouse gas levels in Earth’s atmosphere, raising
Earth’s average surface temperature. Natural processes, which have been overwhelmed by human activities, can also contribute to climate change, including internal variability (e.g., cyclical ocean patterns like El Niño, La Niña and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation) and external forcings (e.g., volcanic activity, changes in the Sun’s energy output, variations in Earth’s orbit).
Scientists use observations from the ground, air, and space, along with computer models, to monitor and study past, present, and future climate change.
Climate data records provide evidence of climate change key indicators, such as global land and ocean temperature increases; rising sea levels; ice loss at Earth’s poles and in mountain glaciers; frequency and severity changes in extreme weather such as hurricanes, heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, floods, and precipitation; and cloud and vegetation cover changes.

surprise, it's not global warming........it's nature taking a turn and there isn't anything you can do about it.razoo » 06 Aug 2023, 8:49 am » wrote: ↑ Warm temperatures impact all weather activity ===== even cold temperatures................ in the tropics.
Climate change means change worldwide ......... no matter where it is.
I once read that the mid USA will be the new tropics ........
Global Warming will produce sensational weather changes throughout the USA during cold winter months........
Warm controls all weather .............. adjust accordingly right wing weather folks warm weather is changing your life.
