    Rochester still hasnt hit freezing yet this fall so the growing season continues on.  Pretty wild that I'm still picking peppers from the garden.  We might not even hit it this weekend and if that happens looks like we'll go another 7 days before the next chance.  

    Your trees still holding most of their leaves? Around here you can tell who has had a decent frost and who hasnt...

    Would love to see a chart to show how many broken high temps vs low temps we've had the last few decades. 

    I'd also like to see a chart that shows frequency of "epic' lake effect events. Seems like we have had quite a few in the past 20 years, starting with the crippling storm the week of thanksgiving in 2000.

  3. My issue is with all of the alarmists. If someone has to go to an extreme to get my attention, (IE Miami will be gone in a few years,) you're probably full of shit and you're doing nothing to help your cause. Thunberg's rise to fame is just another form of sensationalism to me. On the other hand I cringe just as badly when I hear non-believers of climate change. However I'm not constantly exposed to that as an overreaching sales pitch, the worst of which I probably hear from time to time from Trump. (IE recently denounced the emissions tech in new cars)

    16 years ago in college it wasn't as bad as it is now but still bad. So I wrote a paper on climate change and I ultimately landed on a few main points that I still believe after all this time.

    Humans are contributing to climate change.

    Slowing down is possible but not reversal.

    All of the money being spent on subsidizing green energy would better be spent on preparing for higher water levels and temperatures(seawalls, cooling, relocation).

    In 100 years we will have figured out fusion. In the mean time build more nuclear.

     

    The one thing I now believe that i didn't 16 years ago is that electric cars will become the dominate mode within the next 10 years. Not because people want to be green but because they simply out perform their gasoline counterparts. That's the same way all of this will pan out as long as capitalism does what is does. Eventually fossil fuels will simply be too expensive, the market will be what ultimately makes everyone more "green."

    That's where we are staying. Flying from Toronto-Lima-Cusco. I was told by a friend that just went there to not rent a car, everywhere I've traveled I've always rented. I want to do as much hiking as possible, but worried about the elevation there. 

    If you have some cardio in your workout routine you'll be fine. I think you've mentioned before here that you lift, I lift and do minimal (20 mins x 4 weekly) cardio and I was fine with the air in Bogata.
