The manifestations
of «experimental geography» (a term coined by geographer Trevor Paglen in 2002)
run the gamut
of contemporary art practice: sewn cloth
cities that spill
out of suitcases, bus tours through
water treatment centers, performers climbing up the sides
of buildings, and sound art
of the breaths exhaled in
running the evacuation route
of Boston.
Groesbeck, TX: The
city of Groesbeck almost
ran out of water completely in November 2011.

These include the spectacular forecasts by Tim Flannery that Australian
cities would
run out of fresh
water, by Professor Hough - Guldberg that the Barrier Reef would die, by Professor Karoly that the Murray Darling would see increasing drought, by the UK Met Office that warming would resume, and by Ross Garnaut and Al Gore that hurricanes would increase.
There were more than 30
cities and towns in Texas that
ran out of water this past spring plus agricultural damage in the hundreds
of millions
of dollars due to immense
water shortages, and yet the oil & gas industry has been throwing many millions
of dollars at misinformation campaigns wherever local resistance to fracking has developed.
To point
out just a couple
of things: — oceans warming slower (or cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because
water is more difficult both to warm or to cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the
water warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside oceans, so no latent heat) or oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land temperatures for some series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while oceans are slightly cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative / stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an evidence that lands» warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have
waters warming slower than lands, and because lands» temperatures are often measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point
out, HadCRU and MSU
of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better
waters» temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger
cities temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not
run out a small warming trend for airport measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or simply live in a town /
city, you will know how easy they get very warmer than air during day, and how much it can slow night - time cooling) and overall having airports nearer to
cities (if not becoming an area inside the
city after some decade
of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large
cities; but, in comparison with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part
of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger
cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view
of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead
of GW, maybe even that a small part
of measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).
This government assistance would be warranted by the «insurance» value
of blackout protection, just as Sydney's desalination plant provides the nation's largest
city crucial «insurance» against
running out of water.

water within a year?
