Land temps in India reach 143.6 Fahrenheit
- Thread starter Phenomenally Frantastic
- Start date
True or not, when I think of India I think of a hot smelly over populated mess.
they seem to be an intelligent society likely held back/retarded by their caste system.
nuclear energy seems to be needed world wide but nobody seems to have the willingness. Cars will take care of themselves as EV become better than ICE variety

So my ideal temp of 70 F isn't too far from 62 C. What's the problem?
Land Surface Temperature
Land surface temperature (LST) is defined by the International LST and Emissivity Working Group as a measure of how hot or cold the surface of the Earth would feel to the touch.From: Comprehensive Remote Sensing, 2018

i googles a bit after I posted. Sounds like this is a relatively new measurement? A couple articles I read said these figures might not be Completely accurate and need further investigation. Either way, sounds concerning.
Something that rises 2x faster than overall global warming temperatures.
Posted this for you many many times.
A +2°C increase in "global" temperatures is +3.6°F global temperatures.
But land temps go up 2x more, so +2°C global means +4°C land temperature increases.
Which means +7.2°F. And this is simply the "average". The greenhouse gas emissions we are creating will result in higher increases in some places than others. Which can easily mean +10°F increases where someone lives for "just" a +2°C rise overall.
And now, we're looking at temperature increases that could end up higher than +2°C globally, which is why climatologists have been telling you for years now that this can end up becoming a global catastrophe in the long run.
Would need to insert my probe numerous times over 2 hour time period to get accurate temp reading, Probe likely will likely only last 7 to 12 seconds during each test.
No dot on forehead. We probably should look everywhere for it.
You are mistaking me for somebody else. You’ve never posted anything for me. I avoid 99% of global warming/climate threads because they devolve into deniers vs alarmists and it’s boring as hell, to be honest.
Was just curious as I’ve never heard land surface temps being cited in this manner.
Oh, and way to help bring someone around to your POV. 🙄
"alarmist"? With data like this, I would say they weren't being very "alarmist" at all. But ignoring them certainly works out well for everyone.
Maybe, maybe not.
From the article:
M Mohapatra, director general of IMD, said this data shouldn’t be trusted before conducting ground verification. “Satellite observations are taken from 36,000km away from the surface. They can be misleading if not verified. The record highest land temperature was taken in Rajasthan which was 52.6 degree C. This data can create fear and panic so we should act responsibly.”
“Do you know what 60 degrees C means? The roads and other infrastructure will melt. I have seen roads melting in Rajasthan at 50 degree C. We should be very careful and run ground assessments first,” added another scientist, who declined to be named.
Yes. Asphalt and metal get really hot when the sun shines directly on them.
I think it is concerning to start measuring a new value and then say drastic changes need to be made based on the new value without knowing if this is normal.
Ultimately, the change needed is to dramatically decrease pollution and stop destruction of nature. Of course this will never happen because our entire economic system is based on growth. And the easiest way to grow is by increasing the population.
Our earth is living and has the ability to heal itself if we stop destroying it. Nature is a delicate balance. Too much of one thing will and not enough of others will lead to destruction.
It's normally very hot there in spring until the monsoon season hits in June.
Kinda like Florida.
In fairness, I was wrong to characterize it as a new measurement.
But this little bounce, is the death bounce, if America doesn't distribute its wealth to the masses:
India not too long ago had a higher % of the worlds economy than the US currently has. It was the largest economy in the world and was thriving.
What happened, you say? British colonialism raped the country and left it a poor second world country.
Sure, blame the white people. That's fashionable now days.
Apparently so is crying like a little baby whenever somebody points out that some white people have done some pretty shitty things in history.
Of course data should be verified, but the satellite data is considered to be accurate based off past readings. Keep in mind, the satellite was measuring the temperature of the ground, not the air temperature. On the other hand, it's the end of April/early May. We haven't even reached the hot part of the summer for India yet (which from my understanding, is late May and early June).
Atrocities are not limited to white people. All races have been horrible people at various points in time.
Whether you read it or not, it was posted.
Whether you care about it should have nothing to do with me.
I misunderstood, then.
I thought you were saying you posted this specifically for me because you said “Posted this for you many many times.”
Silly me.
Posted it for anyone who wanted to read it.
If you want to ignore it, then that's a "you" decision.
The fact that you think everyone sees every post of yours, just tells what type of guy you are.
Good ol’ Joe. I see you still have not read this book:
Joe actually wrote that book
Humans are essentially the frog in the proverbial pot of tepid water, sitting perfectly still and content as the heat gradually rises around us until we eventually realize we’ve waited far too long in taking action and our future prospects are completely gone.
