and we can add nuclear- particularly THORIUM BASED REACTORS!- to the mix. It's safer than most people seem to think.

do you really consider nations like Canada and the UK socialist nations? I mentioned it to people and they started laughing and mentioned how dumb the typical American is. I see what they mean, whenever we had a foreign exchange student in one of our classes, they were smarter than 90% of the American students we had.

Recent report came out that perhaps saltwater ponds have been discovered beneath Mars' surface.

Never thought I'd see the same storm drop 30 inches of snow at Allentown and JFK lol- shades of Feb 1983 on steroids.....

it's annoying when the main storm track is either way west of us or way east of us. Thinking the winter will be similar.

Interesting discussion here

Any earth sized planet in the habitable zone that was too cold for our liking. Mars is a bit too small. Earth is on the inside edge of the habitable zone so warming is bad. We should be terraforming by pulling GHG out and stop adding more. The Sun will eventually get too hot for any amount of GHG levels to make Earth habitable and we would have to actually block a lot solar radiation which would be impractical. Then we would have to find another planet. This scenario has been going on in the universe for a very long time. We are speeding up the process. well by transitioning to renewable energy and also finding ways to remove CO2 from the atmosphere we are doing just that, hopefully we quicken the pace, we need to halve fossil fuel consumption by 2030. We have three Class V worlds in our solar system- Mars, Europa and Enceladus. Tidal forces make the latter two worlds hotter than they would seem by their distance.

Mars lol? You'd want to add CO2 to its atmosphere of course. NASA has a machine on its latest mission to Mars that actually converts CO2 to O2.

This happens a lot unfortunately. I was just reading about how hypocrites Amazon and Bezos are, they put out a clean energy image and yet in the background they cater to the oil and gas industry and threaten their employees who want them to switch to clean energy. They have even been caught monitoring their employees who have been unionizing according to identity or issues. Bezos is like Trump in many ways. Meanwhile, California has set 2035 as the year to stop manufacturing fossil fuel powered vehicles.

His is another one of this giant tech companies that needs to be carved up into little pieces.

It's not allowed as of now because of safety concerns, but they are seeking permits. https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2020/09/25/new-york-is-embracing-outdoor-heat-lamps-right-as-france-is-rejecting-them/

I'm well familiar with Eisenhower and his great exit speech and it still applies today (Teddy Roosevelt was another very forward thinking conservationist and antitrust conservative, we dont have them these days, sadly, probably because of all the dark money and corporate lobbying in politics.) Also please check the post, it says I made that response to you, but in actuality it was Skiier.

Chris, I remember there was a streak in 1990 and 1991 where 22 out of 24 months were above normal. That was just an appetizer for our current climate.....

Denver has my ideal climate, lots of temperature variations with some months where it can hit 100 and have snow!

Yes and the ones most impacted are those who are the most vulnerable.

Yes America is actually redistributing wealth- from the lower and middle classes to the rich.

The PBS series Hacking Your Mind shows how even experienced professionals can succumb to tribal us vs them thinking where no matter how questionable the source, if it agrees with them they hold it in esteem and no matter how much evidence there is for an opposing viewpoint, it only makes them even more stubborn. Cant wait for the series finale next week where they show how to combat this built-in vulnerability by hacking our own minds to prevent manipulation from the outside.

The "comrades" have a really good reason to want to preserve the status quo, if climate continues to warm like this, Siberia becomes the new bread basket of the planet.

Have a read, it's from Scientific American: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/offshore-wind-farms-could-knock-down-hurricanes1/#:~:text=An intriguing new computer simulation,storm surge by 79 percent. and while we're talking about replacing fossil fuels: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-to-power-the-world/

They're setting up enclosed bubbles to keep outdoor customers warm and may even use propane heaters.

I think Summit Camp in Greenland is colder than Klinck, but they've only been keeping records for a few years there. It's at the top of the Greenland Ice Cap. I still like Siberia better for temperature anomalies, because it's the only place on earth that can go from -90 to +90 (and even 100 now.)

Speaking of Greenland, did you see that the WMO finally recognized that -93.3 temp at Klinck, Greenland from 12/22/91 as the coldest ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere? Personally I feel that Summit Camp is colder, but they've only kept records for a few years there at the top of the ice cap on Greenland. It's colder than the coldest parts of Siberia though, but doesn't get anywhere near as warm in the summer.

One thing that's really weird is that both the west and the northeast have been very dry this year.....it isn't just CA and OR that are in severe drought, so is RI......some interesting numbers..... Medford has gone 100 days without measurable rain in Oregon. Las Vegas has gone 156 days without measurable rain Both of the above are records. Hartford has only had 21 inches of rain so far this year, their 3rd driest on record. Concord, NH has only had 18 inches of rain so far this year, their 8th driest on record. Meanwhile the Southeast has been consistently flooded out right from the start of the year.

Colder than the weather we just went through, Walt? 30 degrees this morning at MPO

Having a couple of weeks of nice clear skies and low humidity isn't going to kill you lol, the stormy weather will be back soon enough. Better to get this now rather than in the middle of winter when cold air sometimes gets wasted.
