Has anyone here read this? If so, any thoughts? https://theethicalskeptic.com/2020/02/16/the-climate-change-alternative-we-ignore-to-our-peril/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Before anyone says he denies AGW, “I am a proponent of addressing anthropogenic global warming as a first priority for mankind. I first adopted the ‘Venus – runaway greenhouse effect’ paradigm (applied to Earth’s climate) after reading Carl Sagan’s groundbreaking work outlined in his book, The Cosmic Connection. Since that time, I’ve worked more extensively than most inside efforts targeting mitigation of volatile organic compounds, alkanes, methane, and carbon monoxide/dioxide contribution on the part of mankind.” and “I have shared in the grave concern over human contribution to the stark rise in global temperatures now obviously underway.”

maybe not "much" heat, but we'll definitely have some hot days week 2. Won't go into weaklies deets as it's a fools errand, but they don't look cool and wet

Yep, when the PP came it did not look good. Amazing a team can win 14 straight OT games.

What a sick stat - a combination of a very talented team along with some luck thrown in. Fortunate to win that one...Cleveland really carried the play in the 3rd period and the first part of OT.

Happy meteorological summer and start to hurricane season

Dube! Bears win their 14th straight OT game.

The official report said 56.6, so it’s a tie for warmest.

Not seeing much heat the next 30 days. Wish we had this pattern in 6 months ago! Cool and wet for at least the next 3 weeks by the looks of it...

Not tonight. This may have been the first wishcast of the 2024 season. Just we need the rain so bad around here in Tampa Bay. Sometimes a tropical system will just "pop" up in a few hours surprising everybody in the Gulf. But not tonight.

Agreed…he nailed it!

This is amazing…I added it to my favorites. Time to root for low dew points & occasional breaks in the heat!

Very well done Sir! Great thread starter post!

Anyone have thoughts on cloud cover in litchfield ct tonight? I want to go out and take pictures but not sure if the clouds out to the west will dry up. It looks like they are on satellite. Just don’t want to lug all the gear out if it’s not gonna be worth it.

84 today at home. beautiful afternoon for the Mets game. Nice ceremony for strawberry

@mahantango#1 probably the best introduction to a new thread. Well done!

Yep. My saying is 'a day above 80 is a waste', NO WAY I'd live in a place like that. It is bad enough here 6-7 months of the year. EDIT- the 77.4 high today makes 5 straight 'good' days

High today was 82. Starting to see a few brown areas around the area.

First day of met summer and I just saw my first lightning bug of the season. Topped out at 84F today.

Today we were at Arlington National Cemetery burying my wife’s grandmother. I won’t dox myself but our grandparents and great grandparent are about 30 yards from Abner in Section 1 so it’s always nice saying hi to him.

Nice near 80 day here today (and yesterday and probably tomorrow). Heading to my grandson’s graduation midweek-should be 100+ 50 miles east of SFO. Quick trip to be able to get back in time to teach my class Friday afternoon.
