2006 warmest for some Gulf of M. monitoring sites & NOAA buoy data shows warming |
|
The NOAA ocean buoy temperature monitoring system documented that 2006 was the warmest year recorded for some Gulf of Mexico monitoring sites, though not overall. But the monitoring data over the last 30 years shows temperature increase of over 2 degrees F for some northern sites and about 1 degree F for Gulf sites.

:scared:
This has been one of the warmest winters I remember in Mississippi. We've only hit freezing maybe six or seven times. I've hardly run my heat this winter.

Supposedly World-wide atmospheric warming will weakening the Gulf Stream Flow into the Eastern North Atlantic. This may cause dramatic cooling there, or so it was thought. New thermal studies show actually less heat transfer than believed (average only 5 degrees) under historic conditions. Current Global warming will override the loss of the Gulf Stream heat loss and even here temperatures may rise within the Century. What this means is that there is Global Climate Change it's called Global Warming. The earth's atmosphere will be warming in every climatic region even though early signs of Global Climate Change indicated cooling (at first) for some Climatic regions.
