Some newer studies are backing off those older predictions.

I volunteer you to get China on board...

Showers moved thru this morning. Parade in TH today for our annual Heritage Days festival. Air quality alerts out for the Upper Midwest as heavier smoke works it's way in behind the front.

There’s no way that’s accurate in VT and upstate NY is there? I’m at like 7” since June 1.

Other then the late day sun, been pretty cloudy since Weds Boothbay arrival. Currently quite foggy on our way out to monhegan island. Sent from my SM-S921U using Tapatalk

Just uncomfortable out.

It's usually time to draw the shades and hide in the AC if you hate dews from now until about first week or two of September.....this next two months are usually office, save for a rogue pleasant day or three-

It would be wolfie’s lifetime achievement if he could be one of the cops there.

82 / 71 partly cloudy - sun poking through. Warm/humid the next few days mostly 80s- hotter inland spots away from sea breeze may make it to 90 Scattered storms Sun late and more Monday. Hot/humid week ahead and overall hotter into the beyond. 7/12 - 7/14: Warm / humid storms rain focus in Monday 7/15 - 7/18 : Hotter / humid. 7/19 - Beyond : Hot / humid wetter overall

Boy it’s gross out

societal breakdown is the only way climate change will be stopped

Nice and sunny now

No sign of Stein in Connecticut.

What's truly mind-blowing is that in only 50 years temperatures have increased by that much whereas they've been mostly stable for 10s of 1000s of years prior to that.

Partly sunny today and continued warm and muggy with temperatures today and the rest of the week mainly in the mid to upper 80's. Some of the lower and warmer spots may touch 90 degrees today and again on Tuesday. Higher ridge locales are likely to get no higher than the upper 80's. Shower chances ramp up yet again by Sunday night into Monday. Rain chances lessen much of the work week before increasing again by Friday.
