    Yes, the heat and drought there looks like the area is going to be in need for new sources of water.

    We really do need to start naming these high magnitude events.....I would call this event Diablo. Use local language and folklore to name them. Or just go by corporate names to shame fossil fuel companies and force them to pay for the damage caused and lives lost with lawsuits....Exxon, Chevron, BP, etc. lol

    Also added in Australia 2019 when those horrible wildfires happened and record heat and drought.

    So by my recollection, at least since 2010.... we have Midwest March 2012, Northeast December 2015, Australia 2019, Siberia 2020, and now Pac NW 2021?

    Yeah I mentioned Siberia several times in multiple threads lol. The March 2012 heatwave and what we had in the east in December 2015 are two more good cases in point. Talking about +10 F departures in those two. Skiier may be correct in saying he has a 50/50 chance of experiencing something of a similar magnitude over the same region in his lifetime, but over the entire globe it has to be 50/50 per decade to experience it somewhere on the planet....or maybe even higher? Maybe 50/50 to have it happen somewhere on the globe every 5 years since it happened twice in the 2010s and twice already in the 2020s? Meh, it should be even higher if it's already happened twice in the 2020s....on a global level it might be something more like 50/50 to get it every other year. I think Australia had similar hot and dry conditions before their expansive forest fires....so maybe it's even higher than that, maybe 50/50 to get it every year?

    People are thinking this is some isolated event....did they conveniently forget it hit 100 in Siberia just last year and they had a 6 month AVERAGE of 20 F above normal?

    The thing is I dont think the politicians and corporate type are deniers, they simply do not care. Which is worse. They will start to care when their homes start to burn down and their businesses go bye bye. Which is what needs to happen. I've been heavily influenced by Isaac Asimov who was talking about these things back in the 80s (see some old people are smart and he stated that real progress needs something horrible to happen first, and progress is predictable in this way when it comes after a catastrophe (I think this was one of the tenets of psychohistory....a way to predict the future..... and at least partially based on punctuated equilibrium.....which is a modification of evolution, which states that much higher rates of evolution happen after huge mass extinction events, and if it wasn't for these catastrophes evolution would be much slower.))

    Thanks Tony, also please recheck the JFK total number of 90 degree days, it should be 5 (2 in May and 3 in June).
  9. LibertyBell
    perfect track for snow in the winter eh
  10. LibertyBell
    at some point, probably pretty soon, technology wont be able to keep up. having so many people on the planet probably wasn't such a smart idea
  11. LibertyBell
    also remember that summer departures are usually much less than winter ones, because a small departure means more in terms of excess heat. I consider anything equal to or higher than +1.5 to be significant.
  12. LibertyBell
    that one looks to be brief and not as intense
  13. LibertyBell
    lol JFK was 88 and NYC was 84.....LGA right between them at 86 actually hit 90 here on the south shore
  14. LibertyBell
    How is it that Portland was hotter than JFK in June when it's right on the water and the waters are MUCH cooler up there?
  15. LibertyBell
    is this the equivalent of having a winter with a lot of coastal huggers where coastal areas dont get a lot of snow but just inland does? because we just had that kind of winter too lol. maybe the two go together?
  16. LibertyBell
    wasnt even all that heavy here. thunder was loud though, well a couple of them were lol
  17. LibertyBell
    exactly or none at all
  18. LibertyBell
    here's a thought, EVERYONE should have a/c now. It should be MANDATORY and all buildings that dont have it should be deemed unlivable and CONDEMNED until it is installed. cutting large lawns? maybe dont have a lawn in the first place? about the high electric bills- blame the greedy power companies for that
  19. LibertyBell
    it's exciting when we get close to 100, that's the kind of feeling you get that's similar to having a 20 inch snowfall.
  20. LibertyBell
    lol @ JFK only +0.9 despite the 3 90 degree days in the month
  21. LibertyBell
    Yep thats why we need a fast mover like what Gloria and Bob were. Bob was the last Cat 2 or higher that made landfall at our latitude or farther north, I think?
  22. LibertyBell
    lol @ isolated.... clearly you're the blind leading the blind. People are thinking this is some isolated event....did they conveniently forget it hit 100 in Siberia just last year and they had a 6 month AVERAGE of 20 F above normal?...are people really this DUMB?
  23. LibertyBell
    Nate would've hated to see this, I know he was passionate about climate change and politics.
  24. LibertyBell
    If you're going to defend Exxon's behavior you're dumber than I thought. Greenpeace are planetary heroes and Exxon is as bad as any terrorist organization that has ever existed.
  25. LibertyBell
    Sad to say this but like I said to you in the other thread, we need more events like these and a full on planetary catastrophe to topple the current unsustainable system and to actually get these corrupt politicians to act.
