Larry made landfall as an 80 mph true hurricane near St John's, Labrador- Don is that the furthest north landfall a hurricane has ever made? I heard it will drop 4 feet of snow on Greenland?

Historic Pacific Northwest Heatwave of 2021
LibertyBell replied to donsutherland1's topic in Climate Change
It seems that our hottest years dont end up on the list because when we are hot the rest of the country isn't lol. Except for 2002, that was amazingly hot here. Surprised about 1980 not being on the list because from the charts I've seen that was a three month heatwave from St Louis to the east coast. I like to exclude the west coast from conversations about our weather patterns because their climate is so unlike ours they might as well be another country. -
until we develop the guts to engineer our own planet

I'm coughing just looking at it. There's more than one reason to wear a mask.
-
Think the smoke might actually keep the temps down?

The problem with OT is, there's a lot of arguing and name calling that goes on there. It feels very jarring to be in there lol.

sandy areas are always the kings of radiational cooling

All vaccines that have ever been made have worked this way.

Historic Pacific Northwest Heatwave of 2021

Weird, how is 1980 not hotter than any of these? We had coast to coast heat that year. And 1995 had similar..... -
Amazingly some very anthropocentric people who should have known better thought animals were no different from robots for a long time and used it to justify their unethical treatment of them.

You got two weenies and two sad faces, I tried to change things up lol

You and I both know how people in power think, short term gains even if it means long term losses. I can see this happening. It's already happening in some parts of the country (deforestation in the South is ongoing.) It is just going to accelerate climate change and something else they didn't think about, when the big flooding rains do happen, these treeless areas will cause massive mudslides and landslides. We often see these in the west when flooding rains occur after forest fires remove the trees. Humans cutting them down will only exacerbate that.

just a low though right? no strong winds with this?
-
But there was no humidity today it was amazing. Why cant we have this kind of weather all year round? This is why I want to get rid of the Gulf of Mexico lol

Something I read which was troubling on the political side was an article about how more trees are better in a "perfect" world but in our carbon polluted world that we should be looking into replacing forests with grassland. I think JBurns posted this though I can't locate the link right now I'm going by memory. The argument presented was that because of the fire risk of trees that areas in which forest fires are prevalent we should replace trees with grassland, and the grass would act as a carbon sink too and grass fires (brush fires) are less destructive than forest fires. It made me think about the issue a bit more, but this goes beyond trees, there are many fauna that would die out if the trees were gone, Many animals and specifically birds are dependent on them.

I was just going to tell rclab to check out the OT posts before he chose to respond to the "ghost"

Yes that would be a horrible precedent especially when we're trying to get nations like Brazil to stop cutting down the Amazon but I was led to believe that tropical rain forests are more important than temperate rain forests are? Preserving the Amazon always seems to take precedence over everything else. The only short term modification we can do that I can think of is to simply restrict people from building in that area and forcing those who already have to move out. It's too dangerous for people to live in those areas and puts firefighter lives at risk when they have to come rescue them.

wtf and I just saw he weenied Don! I mean, WHO DOES THAT?! lol yea those OT things are far worse, but I was shocked to see anyone weenie Don. Think that might be you-know-who who keeps coming back under new names? Their listed location seems to match.
-
Thats the storm Lee Goldberg talked about today.
-
The problem is according to my physicist friend it will take too long (decades) to stop the fires even if we started reducing carbon and methane right now which is why he wants the trees thinned which would lessen the imminent fire threat that gets worse every year. The area is probably going to be a vast desert soon enough anyway, Nature is headed in that direction over there and those trees would be very out of place in a desert. It reminds me of the Sahara, which is expanding southward. The other option is to simply make people move out of the urban-wildlife interface zone and not allow people to build homes there at all.

Looks like the Three Stooges have some competition for best slapstick comedy I missed it damn it!
-
haha the Three Stooges were always my favorite growing up and decades later their slapstick humor has stood the test of time.

This one suits him much better lol

We are like a regular Who's on First, What's on Second and I Don't Know's on Third crew lol. https://www.baseball-almanac.com/humor4.shtml
