Occasional Thoughts on Climate Change
LibertyBell replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
I think the drug price problem and the fossil fuel problem run parallel. In a system like ours, there really isn't anything to stop the corporate agenda from taking over. If we banned all corporate lobbying and did not allow politicians to take money from these cartels and put a number of other safeguards in place (including the horrible SC decision that allows corporations to be treated as people- that needs to be fixed) we could have a better functioning govt and society. I'm sure you've also heard how the SC is hearing a case that could prevent the EPA from regulating coal mines? the SC is horrible, makes me lean towards ending these lifetime appointments -

looks like the younger generation hates both major political parties a study was done showing that only 22% support either party with most choosing to be Independent. Young People Are Over Democrats — and Republicans, New Data Show: What That Means for 2022 New data suggests young voters are growing more frustrated with elected leaders. Some may be on the verge of ditching both political parties altogether. -

Guess what, Don. Democracy is the worst form of government to fix problems like this. There needs to be a way for a president to muzzle Congress and get vital things like this done and for them to have no way to oppose it. The type of government we have is not designed for crises like these. -

and net zero aint even that great, it just means we will be keeping the same amount of CO2 we have right now, still dumping fossil fuels into the atmosphere but offsetting that. -

Looks like some school districts have closed schools in NJ, we never used to see this for rainstorms, I guess they are being more weather aware than the media is- 228 replies

They should have named that storm in 1991, it actually mars the records and TC count that they did not. With the current storm, why does it evolve into a TC after it leaves instead of doing it here where the waters are warmer?

I thought with noreasters the highest winds are supposed to be further away from the center and much wider in scope? With a low in that position, one would expect the highest winds to be further west by about 100 miles or so.

it makes me wonder why it's being underestimated..... we just had Ida in September, everyone should be on high alert for dangerous flooding and the media should be all over this, why aren't they?

I got news for you, if this was in the middle of winter it would still be rain regardless of track- not enough cold air around. The only difference is in winter it would be 40 and rain.
