North Dakota Floods Aggravated By Global Warming. Oh Really?
29 Mar 2009
QUOTE: In fact, temperatures in North Dakota have been running about 5-10 degrees below
normal for the entire winter and spring.
Global warming has predictably struck again.
White said climate change caused by global warming likely is changing ice conditions and
adding to the unpredictability.
Kate White is a civil engineer at the Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering
Laboratory in Hanover, N.H., and one of the nation's leading experts on ice jams.
President Obama has also weighed in.
"I actually think the science around climate change is real. It is potentially
devastating. . If you look at the flooding that's going on right now in North Dakota, and
you say to yourself, 'If you see an increase of 2 degrees, what does that do, in terms of
the situation there,' that indicates the degree to which we have to take this seriously."
The Red River in Fargo, North Dakota had been expected to crest as high as 43 feet on
Saturday, but instead it peaked at less than 41 feet due to freezing springtime
temperatures.
The river crested in Fargo at 40.82 feet (12.44 meters) shortly after midnight yesterday,
never reaching the 42-foot forecast the weather service expected, which would have put it
at the top of some city dikes. The crest broke the record of 40.1 feet set in April 1897.
The river was at 40.27 feet as of 4:15 a.m. local time this morning and was forecast to
recede to 38.1 feet as of 1 a.m. on April 5, according to the National Weather Service.
Freezing Temperatures
Temperatures as cold as 7 degrees Fahrenheit froze water running into the river and are
responsible for turning back the flood, said David Kellenbenz, a meteorologist with the
National Weather Service in Grand Forks, North Dakota, about 80 miles north of Fargo.
The weather service had said earlier that the Red River could crest as high as 43 feet.
In fact, temperatures in North Dakota have been running about 5-10 degrees below normal
for the entire winter and spring.

Oh, well, since it got cold in North Dakota, by all means that should
be more than enough to disprove all those highly trained people who
have been studying this stuff for the last few decades. Silly children
and their mathematics... I'm sure they never would have bothered to
amass all that scientific data if they had known that it could all be
cast aside by some pinhead noting that "It's still getting cold in
North Dakota in winter."
What A. Fool
>...you can't bank on anything!
Don't you believe Global warming is causing all the ice and
snow?
What A. Fool
Is it still winter? Darned Global Warming changed the
seasons.
