There's kind of a built in assumption in these posts that we don't have the technology to help with these issues. This isn't 1850...both from a global temps perspective or a tech one.

Does/will CC lead to more net harm or more net benefit? That depends on whom you ask as there are many different perspectives as well as biases. For example, AGW alarmists see only the bad effects and believe the worst case scenarios. OTOH, AGW deniers like Joe Bastardi don’t even acknowledge AGW! I don’t think it’s black and white. For example, I as a near coastal resident put more emphasis on past and progged sea rises as well as increased TC related rainfall/peak wind potential than many far from the coast since I see the direct effects close-up. The frequency of significant to major coastal flooding events nearby has increased greatly. This is both with tropical cyclones and without them including King tides on sunny days. Charleston, SC, is a great example of this. I see soooo many coastal flood advisories for there nowadays! It wasn’t anything like that in the past. However, I also acknowledge that a portion of this there and at places like Louisiana and even Manhattan is caused by sinking land.

I would hope that north/south/east and west all get a good soaking................... The extended NWS slows the front down because Sterling increased my POP on Sunday from 30% to 60%.

AI just add another layer. Now it is easier than ever to create flashy content, and this floods the market even more. FB and LinkedIn are *loaded* w/ this this crap now, and it is spreading.

new mesoscale discussion

Different time and can't compare to today. The problem is everyone doing it now, and thinks they can get rich or a make living. Pipe dreams as the piece of the pie is sliced so thin, there is little left for any individual. It just becomes race to the bottom w/ more ridiculous claims and hype, and ppl do not know what to believe, and thus start tuning it all out. How is that good for society as whole? One can't deny the detrimental impacts here. That's what I am pointing out. I know how it is and how it will not change.

As the planet's been warming food supplies have been going up. Way up. https://ourworldindata.org/data-insights/food-supplies-have-grown-even-faster-than-the-population-on-every-continent Try again. *Please* don't be so brainwashed by the scaremongers. Look at the data behind the claims. It simply does not support the claims of some growing apocalypse.

Couple a 'nader warnings up in Southern Wisco

Part of the means of having the resources to have AC is access to abundant inexpensive energy. In less-wealthy countries that means one thing - fossil fuels. Deaths from heat are often caused by excessive strain from physical activity. Activity that can be relieved by machines that are powered by fossil fuels. But that aside - let me reiterate that more people die of cold than from heat each year. You seem to be willfully ignoring that fact.

I'm sure AI will know to politely skip over all that and not "learn" from it We're going to end up with AIdiocracy

hmmm well it is Colorado, maybe was trying to put an order in for edibles

It looks like +9C is about to pop in the subsurface on TAO/Triton!

Joe Bastardi got rich off that with snowstorms and winter weather fans in the late 1990s and 2000s.

lol at moral and ethical issues; moral or legal boundaries are fungible in our economic system

Board has been sluggish and loading slowly today. Had to double check there wasnt a 48" nor'easter modeled for NYC...

unprecedented

We've now had a tad over 3 inches of rain over the last seven days. We're in the Falls watershed near Laurel Creek (a couple of miles SE of the NC50/NC98 intersection) so we drain into Falls Lake. Hopefully a trend ...

Briefly hit 60 around 1 pm. Temps dropping again, with rain on the doorstep. BTW, is ev1 else having a slow time of it here today? Site seems to be running heavy.

Warmer for sure here today, and earlier, and sunnier- also less of the chilly N/NE wind we had yesterday. DP at 1 PM here was 62, the highest I've seen in a long time when it wasn't actively raining. All we need is lift.

I agree. Indeed, one location in coastal France beat its all-time record that was set just yesterday by 4.0C (7.2F).

Same problem today, particularly slow loading.

I don't know any specifics but it seems like an EM tried to issue a non-weather related message (like an AMBER alert or the like) and got it real wrong.

Is anyone else intermittently seeing “bad gateway” error code 502 messages and sometimes having trouble with long delays in reading and posting with it saying the problem is with the host, AmericanWx BB? It’s the worst I can recall here! I’m not seeing this with any other sites.

First full week of July looking cool-ish
