[...] evidence that we may not see an ice-free arctic this summer. I had previously blogged on the lateness of a 70 degree plus day in Anchorage, and now it looks like this may be one of the coolest summers on record there. A friend of mine [...]

Joe, I went out the very next day and caught a 15 plus inch trout in the same deep pool right near shore, with the same cheap ass pole, one sinker, and just a worm cut in half. The water was even murkier, higher, and faster. I would show it to you but I already ate it. I’m going out again today with my just graduated from college son. I’ll let him fish in the same hole first. But by God we will be taking turns.

Anthony/Steve: Is this the sort of metadata you need out of NZ? For example, at Hokitika:

I suppose this means more of those incredibly annoying “tougher in Alaska” ads. :(

In Northern California, the recent weather (the past few weeks) has been similar to what we normally experience in very late summer or early fall. It could be a blip … or not.

Pierre Gosselin (06:36:00) :

OT: “I like weather extreme reports! When I was a kid, I loved hearing the Mt. Washington report on WMTW TV every evening.”

You probably haven’t heard that Marty has retired and that the transmitter is no longer manned fulltime. A bit of local color is no more.

Folks at the Weather Observatory do radio spots for some radio stations, but it just isn’t the same – no thick Maine accent, no cat walking across the script, no forced goofy smile at the end. Oh – you have to watch the last “Marty on the Mountain” at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNATQANryFc

However, extreme weather is forever, a better report than the MWO radio spots is at http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/comments/ . Not the same, but I check it out during interesting weather down heyr.

I don’t mind those anecdotal reports at all. The cool reports sure make me wish I could afford a summer home in the north part of the US, though.

I’ll take trout fishing tips, also, anytime they come down the pike. Pamela, how ’bout a cricket on that hook to get some vibra-action (a technical term) going in that murky water? Would the Rainbows have any interest?

Pierre, I have a feeling part of the reason people like this article about Anchorage and the one about Peru is that every time any odd weather event occurs, you can bet money, you could bet your house, that some news article will blame it on global warming. In today’s paper, there was an editorial by Amy Goodman that made it very clear that the flooding in Iowa was due to global warming, and we had better stop looking for more oil and figure out how to drop emissions to zero if we don’t want to destroy the planet. So when there is a counter example to that sort of nonsense, I think people want to point it out.

CO2 continued:

Here is the July 2003 map:

Any volcano experts around?

The red spot in South America looks suspicious. Is it the Amazon forests burning or a volcano? Also the orange spots south east of Japan.

Continuing on why there are no CO2 maps , I have found a hypothesis.

It is possible that all the CO2 from volcanic activity will show on these maps.

The AGW crowd claim that CO2 from volcanic activity is low, but I keep reading articles of new volcanoes found underwater every month or so. CO2 from these would show obviously on world maps. If on top the time series shows that the CO2 volcanic activity is increasing, there goes anthropogenic global warming.
