Don actually posted about this in the banter thread so we can continue from there.

Indeed I will do that. I just thought that there are so many banter posts in here now, that to clean up this thread for the whole thing to get moved.

it was 81 here today even when it was overcast, no idea where that 76 at JFK came from =\

Some places have had rain. But, if the models are correct, many places in VA will go the better part of 3 months with less than 5” of rain.

Or you guys could easily use the + quote option and reply in the banter thread. It's not rocket science.

Same - specifically and only over the grounds of the US Whitewater Center in CLT so that I don't have to run a 50k trail race.

I can agree with this position. I accept the science of human induced climate change, as well as the harm it can cause to natural ecosystems, human communities, as well as economies. What saddens me is the way the climate movement has cozied up to the utter buffoonery of a radicalized left (see Greta Thunberg), who I would argue has done more to set environmental causes backwards than having actually helped anything.

Take the bullshit to banter.

Let someone move the whole thing to the banter thread.

I care. Warm means less snow. You don't care about snow?

Germany is a screwed up nation on multiple fronts, we shouldn't be using them as an example.

Can we stop talking about climate change please? There is a thread for that where you can post all about AGW and the ills of humanity until your fingers fall off. This is a local weather thread. Its warm, AGW. We get it. No one cares…move on

and asthma and diabetes type 2 because of urban food deserts and high consumption of processed food which we're now trying to address with urban farming. the relation to climate change is the ultimate cause is the same, getting screwed over by corporations bent on profit. The same thing happens in Asia too and other parts of the world-- this isn't a uniquely American issue. There are two reasons climate change wasn't addressed properly decades ago. 1 is that these companies have too much power with their money and corporate lobbyists. 2 is that some people rather shortsightedly fought against nuclear fission reactors. The argument should have been made back then that coal causes more radioactive waste than nuclear fission does.

WB 18Z EURO is not letting SC off the hook yet.

Of course it's not a coincidence. People that had the lowest levels of COVID vaccination coupled with high levels of obesity are going to have serious problems. This isn't rocket science. Once again though, not climate change related.

it's the same damn companies doing it, so it's the same topic. The problem isn't a specific country, it's multinational corporations that don't care about borders.

by the way plastic pollution involves a hell of a lot more than just the oceans, it's infected our bodies too.

People waiting patiently for the jog back west in the late night model runs.

who exactly is blaming Americans? I'm blaming corporations (both America and foreign)..... money knows no borders and unfortunately all nations suffer under the corruption of it. At least people are standing up for their rights and the company that was about to start a new petrochemical plant in LA (from Taiwan) was fought against and retracted their offer and left.

Strangely quiet here....

Euro really seems to be overamped in the QPF department these past months.

You just have to look at where the pandemic was worst, in areas with the highest rates of asthma, obesity and diabetes type 2, you think that's a coincidence?

Humberto is a beast that is now moving due west.....hmmm.... wonder if the counter clockwise flow around the TD is actually influencing it. No model has it a threat coming to the coast yet. WB 18Z Humberto tracks. NHC excerpt from 5pm discussion. Only a slight westward adjustment was made to the track forecast. Humberto is moving slightly faster, but westward, near 9 kt. The hurricane is still forecast to move around the subtropical ridge for the next few days before it interacts with the aforementioned trough and accelerates quickly northeastward. The spread in the model track guidance has increased since the last advisory, particularly with regard to how fast Humberto will accelerate northeastward in 4 or 5 days. Confidence in that aspect of the forecast has therefore decreased, even though little change was made to the official forecast. The NHC forecast remains generally based on a blend of the GDMI, the AIGEFS and HCCA.

I read those plants are a major employment source for those people. Anyway majority was built long ago, no solar panels or wind farms to construct back then. The newest development there are modern LNG exporting hubs, which I'm actually against because I'd rather keep our natural gas with US borders. Microplastics sources: 80% of ocean plastic pollution comes from Asia. Stop blaming Americans. It's GLOBAL WARMING. Now you're talking about microplastics! Lol stick to a topic man.
