Hey I have a novel idea-- why doesn't the rest of the world boycott America and American products. America needs to be treated like Iran and be forced to change, or make the American economy crash......

This is why I dont blame activists using whatever means necessary to end the fossil fuel cartels. No one else has the guts to do it. But one question, who is the moron who wrote this: Page 7 declares that the recent IPCC report “does not present sufficient cause” to block the sale of new oil and gas leases Do they not see what's happening on the planet right now? Also aren't fossil fuel cartel heads being forced to testify before Congress right now because of what Greenpeace uncovered about them using underhanded techniques in lobbying?

I think Larry is the furthest north a TC has ever made landfall and then it brought snow to Greenland which is amazing. I think we'll all end up moving north, I have a feeling Greenland is going to turn into a resort and NYC will be underwater by then anyway. Might not even have to wait that long, looks like people have been leaving NYC in droves even before it goes underwater

what exactly caused this dramatic reversal? Was it something unforeseen and unforecastable?

that looks like a pattern where a TC if it was in the western atlantic would come right at us

glad to see the sun is out!

yay the sun is out

I detest this cloudy dreary weather time to bring in a fall front and clear out this mess

awesome all our local teams are like clones of each other in every sport lol (except the Islanders, they've played well the last two seasons)

looks like highs in the 60s later next week? 40s for lows?

well if you combine the two statements, the second part is almost right, because we did get only about an inch of rain in Sandy....

can we get a sunshine percentage forecast? I am sick and tired of cloudy days "warm" temperatures or not. Amount of sunshine is more important for those of us who like to enjoy being outdoors

it's on governments to give land to these communities. I also believe that people living in oceanic nations need to be taken in by other nations and given land to live on

wait Long Island had 30" of snow in March? Not here lol Why is March snow so localized compared to say January snows? Maybe it's because with the higher sun angle it's much harder for urbanized areas to accumulate snow in March?

we had some brief sunny periods early in the afternoon and that did make it feel hot

arent SST maxing out in September though?

I'd be okay with no more disgusting 70+ dew points ever again

so you dont believe climate models when it comes to climate change but you do believe in this huh?

Fascinating that you mentioned trees. In Cosmos, Dr Neil DeGrasse Tyson brings up the intelligence and networking capability of trees, how they provide nourishment to injured trees by sharing their roots with them and how parent trees protect their children by shading them so they don't grow too quickly. Likewise bees are amazingly intelligent, having a complex series of dance moves using which they communicate both astronomy and math (wind direction, angle of the sun, etc.) when communicating new prospective hive locations.

Right, the planet has a Tipping Point (it abhors dominance by any one species) when the checks and balances eventually get us....we are ever closer to that. You correctly brought up the population crisis, new technology is a double edged sword, while it feeds the masses, it also enables a larger than safe carrying capacity of humans to exist at one time. At the current point, with our population of around 8 billion, we are consuming the amount of resources it would take 1.7 earths to sustain. This is why we have a human caused mass extinction event currently ongoing. The industrial revolution is the ultimate in two edged swords....we can't live without it, and we might not be able to sustain ourselves with it. There are some brilliant people looking for and even finding possible solutions, the question is will the rest of humankind's inertia stand in the way of getting us where we need to go?

https://twitter.com/i/events/1438247239810535430 a funny if slightly disgusting read....if cows can be potty trained, there is some hope for humanity too

looks like a nowcast watch lol

some 40" winters in there too like 2015-16 here. 50" seems to be the demarcation for when you actually need a cold winter to get that kind of snow.

hey it's my birthday I'll celebrate it even if it's a torch haha

are the so-called "natural" ones any better (the ones made from plant extracts that plants use to ward off insects.)
