fossil fuel cartel brainwashing techniques work well, dont they?

Indeed- because I remember this was being discussed in the 80s and we still haven't made all that much headway. Remember Planck's famous quote about quantum mechanics? It also applies to climate change Planck experienced the truth of his own earlier observation from his struggle with the older views in his younger years: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."

if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense, if one surmises that CC is moving the climate zones north, well, we have the future of a tropical rain forest climate, unless we keep chopping down all our trees, and then it will just be tropical minus the forest part lol. We will be the new Florida and Florida will be the new Atlantis.

Indeed, especially Thorium. I've heard so many great things about Thorium I don't understand what the hold up is.

the new gen of solar panels are going to actually be built right into house paint.

it may not be that slow, I've noticed a pretty obvious change in climate between the 80s and this past decade. I mean only an idiot wouldn't notice how long the allergy season has gotten and the change in rainfall patterns and growing season, etc.

yes unfortunately. and higher humidity also due to climate change tends to suppress high temps while boosting mins, have seen that all too often here on the east coast

like 95 degree high temps in the CONUS has anything to do with WORLDWIDE climate change - I find it hilarious!

that thing is now a permanent feature year after year. Hard to get anything to come right up the coast

Yeah I think it might have even been extratropical up here. I just remember the news broadcasts that day when we were home from school talking about it as a storm of the century disaster major hurricane about to hit us directly it didn't even have a backside.

Yes, especially after seeing the extremely anomalous western heat this year, I find it laughable.

Agreed but I would also call attention to the fact that corporations usually take advantage of the poor, the disadvantaged, the third world, etc, with their pollution the most, to deliver those goods to the rest of us. So it is humanity who is ultimately to blame, because for the sake of some convenience, we look the other way when the downtrodden are being taken advantage of.

at least for continental travel very high speed trains can replace airplanes Thats going to be the mode of transport all over Europe

whats causing this extreme western movement?

One of the things about Gloria is that people thought it was going to be a Cat 4 hit, when it was abreast of ACY it was still rated as a 135 mph hurricane screaming north.

wish we had satellite images from back then. But nothing, not even camera images? were there cameras in 1821.....

that must have been an amazing storm, how weird it retained its strength and tropical structure with that track

it's far easier for us who never liked or trusted corporations and knew how much bad they have done to the environment for decades. Corporations are FAR worse than terrorists in how they damage society and they must be forced to pay for it.

https://twitter.com/i/events/1427304933301178369 Such repugnant behavior. The so-called "natural" gas (really methane) industry tricked residents into supporting them over electric trucks in this California neighborhood and paid them (astroturfing) to support their cause. Fortunately they are now being called out for it by name so hopefully there's time to change it and go electric like NY has been doing.

1991 was also one of our hottest summers tied with 1993 for most 90 degree days, maybe thats why this storm was able to maintain its structure?

But not a big impact here since it swerved well east of here. I remember it well, it was like a windy noreaster.

what about Hazel and the storm last August? I figured a bunch of storms went to our west but still had a high impact here (anything from central PA to eastern NJ)

That's what makes them retain most of their strength even over land. Those are my favorite. It's honestly very difficult to get a storm to go entirely over water and have a high impact here.

There have been a lot more storms than people think. People only remember the big ones but we probably average a TC impact once every three years would you say?

That storm we had last August was a miniature version of Hazel
