Drought, warming and heat wave (C in the Air)




by Christophe » 26/05/11, 19:00

It just finished right now.

Here we are! The climatologists (invited or interviewed) are categorical: human activity has something to do with it !!! There is just Cabrol who put a damper on it ... but we all know his book of "Allègrian disinformation" ... those who do not understand ask :D :D

The drought sets in France in this exceptionally hot spring 2011. Water restrictions are in effect in nearly one in two departments. A "crisis" situation which is already compromising crops and threatening livestock.

Record temperatures, much lower precipitation than seasonal norms, and dry land. Since the beginning of April, drought has been raging in France as in other European countries. A situation, unusual at this time of the year, which agitates the specter of the year 1976, among the driest of the twentieth century, and which is not without consequences.

Thus forty-seven French departments are now placed under water restriction orders. These limit the uses considered non-priority for individuals (watering, car wash, pool filling) and can also control agricultural irrigation. A very large part of the northern half of France is concerned, with the exception of Brittany and the Northeast. In the south, measures are mainly taken in the Aquitaine, Midi-Pyrénées and Rhône-Alpes regions.

"We are in a crisis and crisis management situation", underlined last week the Minister of Ecology, after having assembled, one month in advance, the hydrological monitoring commission known as "Drought committee". Bringing together representatives of the Bureau of Geological and Mining Research (BRGM), elected officials and experts, she took stock with Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet on a situation deemed "worrying".

The "climatic exceptional" are less and less ...

To govern is to predict it says, it will be necessary to consider the construction of retention tank, lagoon and artificial lake under ground, in order to recover the torrential rains of the periods of floods for the use during the dry period.
Rehabilitation of dry swamps would not be a bad thing either.

We started well as in 1976 for the drought, but much warmer, as evidenced by the 3 mature cherries at least weeks ahead of 1976 and in very small numbers (the birds ate almost everything before they were mature) !!
Raspberries will do the same if the water does not miss too much.

There is correlation with the recovery of the solar activity which has new spots and therefore the next years will be worse, warmer for a heat wave of the 2003 type, in 2012, 2013 or 2014, given the solar cycle of 11 years !!

Maybe pole change has a role to play too?

Other extracts of C in the air here: http://videos.france5.fr/video/iLyROoafZikj.html

Yes it will probably be worse than 76 ... and it will accelerate and worsen ...

We could not say we had not been warned ... :|

"We" socially screwed up green (solutions) and "predictions" for years, now we are starting to pay the bill.

Personally the most salty bill will be on the "food" side ... This is the one that scares me the most !!

It is confirmed in the C in the air (I just saw it, I had seen the 2ieme part yesterday): the soils are already drier than 1976 BUT the water tables are a little higher for the same date!

Look at the!

For this reason, it would be good to multiply the use of summer heat to warm up the winter by taking inspiration from what already works:
https://www.econologie.com/forums/post203921.html#203921

Christophe with your solar home which works (solar collectors of good surface in place which overheat the 70m3 of water under the house, and thus the most expensive already realized), for cheap, it is possible for you to store underground the surplus summer to enjoy it in winter, for the greenhouse or the house, even as not cold air, allowed before wood heating, which reduces the consumption of wood!
Most of the investment being made, a few holes a few meters deep, are not expensive, to test the preliminary storage in clay (near the river?), If the heat diffuse but is not not carried away by a circulation of water underground, (of the compact rock, can be better, for that).

I do not think it will work at home because the land is very wet ... (well in normal times!)

And we are on a slope, at the end of the land there is a stream: so a permanent water runoff when it is wet ...

Water that would cool in less than 2 any thermal storage in the earth !!

Moreover, part of this water always arrives in the crawl space that I still have not been able to seal, see this topic: https://www.econologie.com/forums/humidite-d ... t7591.html

I am sure now that there is an outside water supply (and not only internal condensation) because there is (much) more moisture when it rains than in dry weather!

I would have to relaunch this "site"!
