World's lakes are warming surprisingly quickly due to climate change

Lakes around the world are warming surprisingly quickly due to climate change, threatening the global water supply. And lakes in Canada are some of the fastest-warming in the world, a new study shows.

The warming waters can lead to problems like toxic algae blooms that make water undrinkable, declines in fish populations that people rely on for food and other serious problems, warns the international team of researchers that released the study this week.

"If air temperatures continue to increase and this influences water supply and water quality, that has a huge implication for humans as we need fresh water to survive," said Sapna Sharma, a researcher at Toronto's York University who was one of the lead authors of the report.

The study looked at 235 lakes on six continents representing half the world's freshwater supply. Their surface temperatures between 1985 and 2009 had been measured both directly and using satellites.

The lakes had different sizes, depths, locations and other characteristics, but despite their variability, "over 90 per cent of them had a clear signal of warming," said Sharma. "I didn't expect to see that."

Completely fabricated psuedo science. There is no AGW, there is just a delusional cult that invents its own 'evidence' by selectively excluding all that does not support its credo. They have never been able to provide one reliable prediction.. so they cast obfuscating metadata to support its philosophical agenda.. and proselytize by way of fear mongering, by passing all resort to reason, which would not pass muster.

Thank God we had the big party in Paris to fix this. Or is this sever enough to re-convene on the beaches of the Kaymen Islands?

 

[MHz]

Okay, how much to fix it if we keep going on the same reckless path??

 

[Walter]

Utter bullshjt.

 

[Curious Cdn]

If Walter sez "no" it must be NO because Walter KNOWS.

Why does Walter "know"?

Who knows?

not so quick...surprisingly enough...the words 'surprisingly' and 'quickly' don't appear in their little 'paper'.

I took a drastic measure and issued a red thumb to Mentalflush. His advice will kill people.

Proof of skewing numbers to fit an agenda.

So when skeptics point out that there's been no warming in 18 years and 9 months according to satellite data, climate alarmists say that satellites can't be trusted, instead, look at the land based instrument record that shows the greatest warming to get an accurate count. And then when satellites show warming of lakes, then suddenly they indeed accurate.

I find it weird that the scientists would be shocked that 90% of lakes have warmed since satellites (you know, the ones that show no warming in over 18 years) show that 90% of the planet has warmed since 1985.

It was one person shocked that the number was that high.

And who thinks we've stopped warming since 1998?

That's rubbish.

 

[DaSleeper]

yet another shameless bump heh?

 

[mentalfloss]

Well then respond to the topic if you can't help but shamelessly bump it.

 

[petros]

Well f-cking duh!!!

Why wouldn't lakes be warming as we are returning to average?

Is this News or just news to you?

By the way....

You need to start over.

That's rubbish.

Satellite data says it did (both UAH and RSS). Are you saying that satellites that measure the temperatures are rubbish?

It's the same as the big worry over the Greenland ice sheet. Contrary to popular belief brought about by legends, Greenland was named such because it was actually, wait for it, green. There were no massive ice sheets except in the very northern part of the island. It was the advent of the Little Ice Age that ultimately cleared them off the island.
Those ice sheets are receding because the LIA is over and has been for about 150 years. Interestingly enough, 1850 is around the time that the AGW acolytes insist the world started warming because of human activity.

Are you sure it wasn't a comment like, 'Are you sure you want to stop here, I don't see any green things?'

Written by a true literary scholar.

Here are some other fine examples of adverb abuse.

1. He lost blood surprisingly quickly; which resulted in his death.
2. She almost fainted surprisingly quickly when the learning that men actually have two testicles.
3. Dominos Pizza delivers in a surprisingly quickly 20 minutes or its free.
4. People look awfully stupid when they ad an "ly" to verb surpisingly quickly when it is clearly not needed.

Let's have another look shall we.

Not only do you not need the "ly" but you can achieve the same thing without those two verbs all together. Remember, if you want to B.S. people, it's best to use as few words as possible to avoid being exposed as illiterate idiot that thinks he's a scientist.

The adverb is your enemy.<--- It's okay to use a Y here, because it's a real word.

Yeah, that's why Eric the Red founded the first settlement ever on Greenland and went back to Iceland to convince a bunch of them to go back to Greenland with him.

Aww that's cute. Someone who thinks the planet has a static environment unless man is involved.

 

[Curious Cdn]

Yeah. Tell that to a dinosaur, if you can find one.
