Cherry blossoms bloom in Tokyo, 15 days later than last year, 5 days later than averagehttps://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/03/29/japan/society/cherry-blossoms-bloom-tokyo/Cherry blossoms finally burst into bloom in Tokyo on Friday after heavy rain in the morning, marking the latest blooming in over a decade.The declaration of the blooming made by the Meteorological Agency came 15 days later than last year and five days later than in an average year. Private forecasters had also expected this year's bloom to come much earlier.Friday’s blooming is the latest in Tokyo since 2012, when cherry blossoms were declared to have blossomed on March 31, according to the agency.Cherry blossom forecasting is big business in Japan. As early as in January, companies start to issue forecasts for when cherry blossoms will first bloom and reach their peak.The weather agency, which began forecasting the annual bloom in 1955, sets a government standard for observing cherry blossom trees. For consistency, the meteorological agency only uses data gathered from the Somei-Yoshino variety, which produces pale pink blossoms.
There are 58 example trees across the nation preselected by the agency, with these used by private weather forecast companies. In Tokyo, for instance, the tree is located at Yasukuni Shrine in Chiyoda Ward.According to the rules set by the agency in declaring the annual bloom, a tree is considered to be blossoming once five or six flowers have opened on the branches of the tree. Once 80% of the tree has flowered, it’s deemed to be in full bloom.This year marks the first time since 2020 that cherry blossom-viewing, or hanami, a major seasonal event in Japan, can be held in the absence of COVID-19 guidance, as the government downgraded its classification of the coronavirus in May last year.

Japs have a major affinity for cherry trees, but they're not a major producer of cherries. Does this seem odd to anyone else?
>>16110228no, they like ornamental cherry trees
>>16105956The peak bloom of the cherry trees in Washington DC was the second earliest on record. They actually hedge their bets and plan a three and half week cherry blossom festival there, but the peak bloom was a week before it started.

>>16126466There is more water vapor than co2 in the atmospherewater has more heat of evaporation, water and vapor has more specific heat than co2Water is on the surface, and its vapor absorbs more solar radiation than CO2Earth is covered and soaked in water not CO2. Carbonate binds to minearal harder than hydrate thus buffers far less.Weather is majorly a result of air movement and humidity. No one predict how hot tomorrow is gonna be from CO2 concentration.Temperature near bodies of water are always buffered more than those that has none.Plant taps a kilogram of water out of the dirt earth to grow a few grams of mass, assuming the C all comes from co2 in the air. Coindicentally most plant grow near bodies of water and/or receive ample precipitation, also nice place to live.Cloud single handedly block more solar or ground radiation than atmosphere, and the surface of the earth absorbs half of the solar heat, those with water buffers out, or reflects the heat back out with extreme surface temp if water and plant cover is not, saving ground water.Yeah, i think you owe me an answer why I have to give a shit about your garbage statistics A mere correlates to garbage statistics B, in a comically large scale to call you bullshitting, assuming your crude approximate of an average of averages given arbitrary weights and sample intervals and other fudge factor is a perfect survey that makes the globe yield to the authority of people who never truly graduated from their advanced day care to make a living on their own. May be you should try getting a job.
>>16129310The concentration of atmospheric water vapor is local and driven by the local temperature because it has short atmospheric residence.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_potentialWater vapourWater vapour does contribute to anthropogenic global warming, but as the GWP is defined, it is negligible for H2O: an estimate gives a 100-year GWP between -0.001 and 0.0005.[24]H2O can function as a greenhouse gas because it has a profound infrared absorption spectrum with more and broader absorption bands than CO2. Its concentration in the atmosphere is limited by air temperature, so that radiative forcing by water vapour increases with global warming (positive feedback). But the GWP definition excludes indirect effects. GWP definition is also based on emissions, and anthropogenic emissions of water vapour (cooling towers, irrigation) are removed via precipitation within weeks, so its GWP is negligible.
>>16129982Making shit up and refusing to provide evidence for your claims is admitting that you have no idea what you're talking about. Me linking you to wikipedia is an indication that your arguments from ignorance are not worth my time to address. If you aren't willing to put the effort in to know what you're talking about then why should I put the effort in to hold your hand?

>>16113324The little ice age was a local event, not global!
>>16129558>anthropogenic emissions of water vapour (cooling towers, irrigation) are removed via precipitation within weeks, so its GWP is negligibleWhat sort of fallacy is this? Just because the anthropogenic changes to the hydrological cycle are rapidly turned over doesn't make them less fundamental in their impact than something more abstracted. Our impacts may have a high frequency but they are foundational and deep. For heaven's sake, we create lakes, empty acquifers and join oceans together so we can sail through them. We divert rivers, we cut down forests, we grow forests in other places, we water crops.
>>16105956>local weather proves climate change not realMany such threads.
>>16132185Where did I say I hate humans? I'm merely stating that if humans are affecting the lived world, then our carbon is the absolute least of the ways we do so, so if you want to improve the world, your efforts can be much better spent elsewhere.
>>16132180>an estimate gives a 100-year GWP between -0.001 and 0.0005.[24]Learn what that means. Water vapor cannot continue to contribute to global warming over 100 years because it precipitates out in a few weeks. If there was a single week GWP then water's figure would seem significant, but it's not, because the concentration of water vapor is driven by local temperatures. It can form a positive feedback loops with other greenhouse gasses, but water vapor cannot drive global warming. It even says so in that except>Its concentration in the atmosphere is limited by air temperature, so that radiative forcing by water vapour increases with global warming (positive feedback).

>>16132458Did the doctors grip your head too tightly with the forceps during the abortion giving you brain damage?
>>16132145This is extreme misinformation and is proof that you're low IQ in that you either never studied what's happening because you're too stupid to try or did try and couldn't understand it.Although humans contribute only a fraction of total CO2 in the atmosphere each year it comes from coal and oil which have been buried for millions of years, unlike naturally occurring CO2 which is recycled in the normal carbon cycle. If you add CO2 to a system in balance with no way to remove it, CO2 must rise over time, therefore humans are responsible for its increase in the atmosphere.I'm sorry if you still don't understand that. Try and find someone more intelligent than you to dumb it down even further.
>>16132485>if I add one drop of acid to the water the whole ocean will become acidified!!!!! Oh! Oh hold me I am going to cry!Better you stay shut in with your echo group of hysterical bitches.
>>16132485>All Fossil carbons were buried away.From the surface. There were on the surface.
>>16132458Just because the hydrological cycle has a quick turnover, doesn't mean humans aren't affecting it permanently. As long as we're affecting water, we're influencing climate and weather in a much stronger way than our CO2 emissions.Any given molecule of water vapour we emit won't stay in the atmosphere for very long, but we emit a lot of molecules and we do it constantly, so we're constantly affecting the environment via our water emissions.
>>16132485>If you add CO2 to a system in balance with no way to remove it, CO2 must rise over timeIf you sequester CO2 away from a system as fossil fuels or carbonate minerals with no way to return it, CO2 must fall over time, until it begins to approach concentrations so low that life on Earth dies from lack of it.Humans are the salvation of life on Earth because we figured out how to extract and return life-giving CO2 back to the atmosphere.
