  1. This occurred to me too-- air pollution actually does mutate genes. It's right there on the CDC website, in addition to causing asthma it can also damage genes (makes sense since clean oxygen is needed for every bodily function.)
  2. There is karma going on too-- I want you to look this up because it's ironic in a way, there's research showing that fossil fuels might actually be driving down male fertility (sperm are quite sensitive to chemical toxins.)
  3. Is it possible for it to become south based during the summer too?
  4. It's still going up because of the developing world (mostly SubSaharan Africa) but the projections are that after 2050 it will start to fall there too.
  5. We have also now found these forever chemicals linked to the rising number of cases of diabetes (it's an epidemic now-- also because of an unhealthy highly processed food diet.)
  6. Yes John and this is why the UN projects the population to stabilize before 2100. At this rate it might happen far before then.
  7. Interesting-- so this same pattern makes it mild in the winter and cool in the spring and summer? Why doesn't it link up in the spring and summer the same way it does in the winter? Looks like we also need this block to go away to finally have some cold and snow in winter too.
  8. Tony JFK was still cold in 2020 on this date? 42 degrees after snow on the 9th, wow! Highs:EWR: 96 (1996)NYC: 93 (1996)LGA: 93 (1996)JFK: 90 (1996)Lows:EWR: 42 (2002)NYC: 40 (1907)LGA: 45 (2002)JFK: 42 (2020) I remember that heat wave from 1996 very well-- it was the only heat that entire year lol.
  9. when do these blocks no longer become a factor? In summer, I dont think it would matter if there were a block there or not-- it would be hot either way.
  10. complain when it's 95, 70-80 degrees is not hot.
  11. Both days will be fine, it's Monday that it will rain.
  12. So glad I don't live in that part of the country-- for multiple reasons lol.
  13. No one has been able to answer this for me.... why did they create an entirely new scale? Why not just plug in the EF values into the old F scale, I actually like that scale much better.
  14. wow thanks Don, these are absolutely stunning! I wonder what the Cheshire Cat looks like :-)
  15. Probably not lol. It might be more like a 2005 type summer.
  16. ah so it could be both high min and lots of 90 degree days (30 or more), Don?
  17. It's so late in the season, I doubt we can get "more organized areas of low pressure"-- scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon is all we should expect.
  18. there's no such thing as a washout this late in the season, all we can get are scattered afternoon thunderstorms-- normal summer stuff.
  19. and our beaches are opening tomorrow for swimming! I wonder what the SST is near the Rockaways?
  20. How could it be smart when he knows there is no available data from that period? But comparing it to DC from a more recent period is smart, because a mountainous location should never be warmer than DC and the fact that it is, indicates a global, not local, effect.
  21. Thanks so much Don, if you have more pictures of that magical place, please feel free to share! It doesn't even feel like being in the city or even in New York, to be there!
  22. but the question is will it be a really hot summer-- or a fake warmer summer with only high mins? Hot summer to me is 30 or more 90 degree days.
  23. This is exactly why we need to warm up our oceans, this damn thing seems to happen every year now.
  24. wow a big change from April 2002! But we went on to have a nice hot and dry summer.... Was the lowest it got at either JFK or NYC 42 that month?
