Snow In South Africa has been delighting South Africans during their winter of 2012. While the N. Hemisphere has been sweltering in heat waves this summer the southern hemisphere has been experiencing below normal temperatures. The atmosphere distributes its heat unevenly but if it gets hotter in one area it must get colder in another because there is only so much heat coming from the sun. The atmosphere cannot manufacture heat. It can only redistribute. It is conservation of energy in operation.
So as the US bakes South Africa gets the cold and the snow and more snow.
Those heat trapping CO2 molecules have rushed over to South Africa and produced - snow?
They are working well.
From R.A. Pielke Sr.:
the coldest spot on the globe in July was the South Pole, where winter
temperatures averaged 4.5 C (8.1 degrees F) colder than normal. If it
isn’t usually the coldest place on Earth in July, seeing temperatures
during the deepest part of the Antarctic winter that much colder than
normal might move the South Pole into that spot. (Links added).
The South Pole is cooling. Antarctica is not warming. It is cooling.
Nothing out of the ordinary is happening.
Hot here; cold there.
Heat distribution not so rare.
Nothing to do
With plant fertilizer CO2.
