Warmest September For Russia In 130 Years Of Weather Records

Russia experienced the warmest September in its 130-year recorded history last month, the state weather service said Monday as climate change continues to reshape the country’s weather patterns.

Nearly every geographical region except southeast Russia experienced temperatures several degrees above their September averages, according to the Russian Hydrometeorology Center’s chief specialist Marina Makarova. “The largest anomalies were observed in north Eurasia where temperatures exceeded the average by 5-6 degrees [Celsius],” she told the state-run RIA Novosti news agency.

A wide stretch of Arctic land spanning more than 2,000 kilometers recorded temperatures 4 C higher than average in September, Makarova added.

“New temperature records were repeatedly set throughout the month there. [Russia’s] temperature anomaly was mainly due to the northern regions,” she told RIA Novosti.

1. Again I take note

that DU member hatrack continues to post alarming (not alarmist) articles about the rapid pace of climate change and there's nary a response to most of these threads.

It's rather curious. Perhaps others are inured or they feel that they have no control so they'd rather not dwell on the elephant in the room.

Of course I don't have the answers either. I'm just stopping by to say I hear the shouting from the corner, hatrack. Hopefully there will be less of it in the future -- only because we've turned the corner, not gradually boiled to death.
