Chapel Hill
drought may
be imported
by Patti Tush
Staff Writer
Climatologists do not know the cause of
Chapel Hill's drought, but Peter Robinson,
assistant professor of geography, said he
thinks it is related to the severe drought
conditions in Western Europe.
The entire global weather picture affects
weather in specific areas, he said.
"You can't look at the weather here
without also looking at California, Japan
and Western Europe.
"What happened there a week or a rnonth
ago affects what happens herer" Robinson
said.
A large mass of air has settled over
Western Europe, thus blocking the rain
carrying westerly winds, Robinson said. The
path of the winds has shifted to the north.
This shift has eliminated much of the rainfall
for Western Europe and the southern United
States.
But even Robinson admits that his is only
a partial explanation. As Robinson's
colleague, geography Prof. Richard J.
Kopec, puts it, "Climatologists don't know
very much for certain, at all."
"There is no normal weather," Kopec said.
"Data has been collected, at best, for 200
years and only on populated land areas. That
is too short a time span to determine the
workings of the atmosphere.
9 "We know that climate changes. We know
that Greenland was once green and ice once
covered the earth." But Kopec added, "We
are unable to predict future weather or say
what normal is."
"The early '60s, for most of the United
States east of the Rocky Mountains, were
good years for farming," Robinson said. The
seasons seemed normal and the rainfall
regular, according to Robinson.
"Since then, the weather has been more
variable. There have been droughts
nationwide and most farmers have had
problems with their water supply."
Robinson speculated that this variable
weather will continue for a few years.
However, Kopec pointed out atmospheric
models and hypotheses demand a long
waiting period to prove themselves correct.
Although the actual weather conditions
may seem to support a particular theory
concerning the climate, Kopec said the
reasons are rarely definite.
Kopec said that since 1940, after a half
century of warming, the earth's temperature
has decreased by 15 degrees Celsius. Yet,
Kopec said, climatologists are not sure what
has caused the sudden cooling.
But Kopec said he believes that the earth's
temperature is increasing because of man's
output of carbon dioxide.
"As long as man continues his
consumption of fossil fuel and burning of
agricultural lands, he will continue to put
more carbon dioxide into the air," Kopec
said.
"The carbon dioxide serves as a blanket to
keep heat from leaving. Eventually the ice
forms will begin to melt.
"1 did a very tongue-in-cheek article which
dealt with the possible consequences."
The article said as early as 2050 a.d., the
level of the oceans may be raised 100 meters
(330 feet).
"Chapel Hill would be a seaside resort,"
Kopec said.
