  1. it's the worst season of the year, but our springs in the 90s were MUCH better. We're in the midatlantic not new england it isn't supposed to be like this. If we're going to get 10" of snow in the winter, in exchange we should get warm sunny dry springs.
  2. A town in NJ has just gotten USDA permission to mass gas Canada geese during molting season when they can't fly what a travesty.... good thing is that the mayor has responded to mass criticism of this plan and said he will pursue nonlethal methods first. Including oral contraceptives which is what's been used on pigeons here. Pity the moron midget mayor billionaire Bloomberg didn't try other methods before he mass gassed the geese in our parks years ago.
  3. the UHI problem will go away once they stop using concrete (this is already underway in NYC where the goal is to make the city 30% green by 2030 by making rooftop gardens atop most buildings).... but the problem of global warming will keep increasing.
  4. I wonder if people realize their "freedoms" will be going out the window when faced with an existential threat.
  5. That works but another thing (which nature seems to be working out on its own) is stopping rapid population growth and stabilizing global population. Current projections say that 11 billion humans is the carrying capacity of the planet and we'll likely stabilize somewhere around there.
  6. at some point we will have to start restricting where people can move to-- you know it and I know it. This illusion of unlimited freedom will have to be disposed of.
  7. they're not "shit" posts they're all true, the government wastes our tax money on military rather than spending it where it should be spent-- which is universal healthcare, education and climate change. Not only that, the polls show this is what the vast majority of people want.
  8. not knowing what these tipping points are or when these thresholds will be reached is why we're always behind the 8 ball. we aren't proactive, we are reactive.
  9. and these other factors are not even applied to our climate models =\
  10. Ryan Maue is the one who should be quiet, the total heat content change of a global system with a small temperature variation is MUCH larger than the same small temperature variation in a local system. It's only common sense!
  11. Yep, look back at the ridiculousness of the 1920s when "scientists" were classifying people by the shape of their skulls (and even worse rating a person's intelligence by the shape of their skulls.) You see the remnants of that today with an inherent racial bias in many people. By the way as you and everyone else knows, just because there are no such things as races doesn't mean racism doesn't exist-- of course it does, humans always want to create an us vs them narrative because it makes it easier to scapegoat people who they think are different from themselves.
  12. One thing I've seen is that our climate models have been conservative, if anything. So if the climate models are setting off alarm bells, you can bet that reality will be worse.
  13. This is exactly why I never liked and never was interested in economics, it's an artificial construct. It's why quantum theory was always much more fascinating to me-- learning the basic nature of reality. Some that is fundamental to EVERYTHING. Race is also a construct, when you read biology and realize that the differences between individuals in the same population is vastly greater than the differences between different populations you understand that humanity really is one, there really is no such thing as race or even ethnic group-- let alone even more artificial constructs like religion, which are all cults.
  14. Doesn't this mean that coastal cities like New York are toast and there will have to a mass migration away from the coast into the center of all continents?
  15. what I want to know is why are we getting so much blocking in spring now?
  16. we might be getting a huge solar flare by then too-- 13 days from now
  17. Probably because it was extremely cold in the winter, so the water takes much more time to warm up.
  18. The sky conditions were pristine but nothing was happening.... it's rare we get a sky as clear as we had last night. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/3-day-forecast
  19. the farther north you get and the further away from the ocean, the warmer it is.
  20. Specifically for NYC and Long Island, it seems to be only slightly above normal (less than 1 degree F above normal.) *I mean for May. March and April were much warmer of course. Spring 2023 was much warmer here though.... and the Spring of record here is 1991 when we had 8 90 degree days before June even started. 1983, 1991, 1993 and 2010 were the hottest years on record here by number of 90 degree days.
  21. Don, is tonight another night of northern lights activity? I saw it mentioned to expect a surge of activity around 3 AM....? Looks like the sky conditions might be good at that time?
  22. what's nycwinter's excuse though?
