All Activity

Wind field is way east actually. But still, meh.

Now it is.

Ya’ll need to check out this moonrise. Came up red AF. Coolest moonrise I ever saw. Hurry tho

Maybe if you're more profane you'll get your answer.

Would be ideal for CT. Similar to Isaias but stronger winds

I’ll take a messenger shuffle for a thousand Alex

84/57 split today... This date in 2001 hit 103° here

That run sucks. Keep it over water into HVN

First of all, a doubling of CO2 (which we haven't reached yet) leads to about 1C of warming with no feedbacks. BUT, the claim is that water vapor will increase and amplify the greenhouse effect (this is uncertain). So, if the sun or some other factor like less cloud cover, leads to more surface heating then you get a positive water vapor feedback which enhances the greenhouse effect leading to cooling in the stratosphere. I don't agree with the positive feedback. Clouds are what drives the climate. Cloud cover has decreased as sulfate aerosols are diminishing due to clean air laws and changes in shipping. Plus, an active sun leads to more solar wind and less cosmic rays and hence less cloud cover. The albedo of the Earth has decreased by about 1% recently to 28.5% down from 29.5%. Also the effects of water vapor in the stratosphere from Tonga are still lingering. So you simplify the climate system to one small component which I don't agree with. CO2 never drove the climate system in the past in the ice core data. In fact, there is strong evidence from recent studies that ice sheets had a negative greenhouse effect with CO2 leading to cooling on the NH ice sheets due to the sharp temperature inversion. This was documented recently over the Antarctic ice sheet. So, the faulty reasoning of something else leads to small warming, THEN CO2 is outgassed and "communicates" the warming to the planet and then leads to warming is wrong. Any increase in CO2 leads to slight cooling on the ice sheets. Its water vapor that can turn the sign to positive greenhouse effect on the ice sheets as seen in Antarctica. So water and clouds rule our greenhouse effect and convection dominates our energy balance. CO2 is a factor but not a big one IMO. I am an independent thinker who has researched this for 30+ years. The fact the sun was very active in the late 20th century and the lag effect with the oceans is more than enough to explain the warming we have seen recently. Doubling CO2 only changes the energy balance by 1%. How can that throw a climate system out of balance? If the climate system is that sensitive, then any shocks of the past would have spiraled the climate out of control. Anyway, I do agree that we should still be pursuing clean sources of energy and am against big oil drilling etc. I just don't think the climate system is going to spiral out of control.

Just a stellar day today. Had a high of 74 and a current temp of 65 already. Going to be a beautiful night.

I understand how it would sound that way, lol But I think that's just because of my back and forth between @Chris78 about whether the new owners are responsible for this current mess and I happen to blame Elias much more than them, lol (though their blame meter is gonna go up next year if it doesn't get better). And on this issue I just happen not to care as much if they up now or in two weeks. But trust me...I call it like I see it good or bad.

Absolutely.

do it!! let's go!!!!!!!! @kdxken every other tree down! take your pick!

And it's back...

Please please

2023 is puzzling given all the energy and excitement around the team that year...was it ticket prices then or something else, I wonder?

We can mix in dewpoint maps to keep things spicy.
