  1. wow Aug 13, 2016 also happened at the peak of the Perseids, similar to the August heat this year. Do you recall what the high temp and highest heat index on that day was at JFK? I think that was our last August Excessive Heat Warning before this year. Was that also the year JFK had 42 75+ dewpoints?
  2. Hey Chris how do you find what the highest heat index ever recorded was for a given location, say, JFK?
  3. But we dont keep track of heat by heat index unfortunately. I can't even find what the highest heat index ever recorded for JFK was. To me the best raw measure of heat is number of 90 degree highs.
  4. Peak heat on Friday Don? When was the last time both NYC and Seattle hit 95 or higher on the same day?
  5. lol and on Fox. I never saw that because I never watch Fox outside of sports
  6. haha we were expecting the hybrids to arrive, but the hybrids that are arriving are not quite the ones we thought..... It's like To Serve Man all over again lol
  7. that truck is what I want. should be excellent in the snow and climbing hills and such
  8. these prices need to go down and fast, since we'll be at 50 pct electric vehicles by 2030 according to govt and vehicle manufacturers
  9. all that money Manchin takes from the fossil fuel cartels, he must be sniffing it if he doesn't understand the MUCH greater threat of climate disasters to children and grandchildren, who will revile him for saying things like this. Manchin and Sinema are DINOs in every sense of the word. https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1425453857543442439
  10. A few of us are saying out loud what many people are already thinking. There's going to be a lot of bad for pretty much all of humanity because this was put off for so many decades. The pandemic is going to be looked on fondly as the good old days, by the time 2030 gets here, if not before. Mark my words..... as sure as the sun rises and sets, this will happen.
  11. and this for the capper https://twitter.com/dean_inkster/status/1425518972582207490
  12. Yup we need to be able to take some pain now to avoid much greater pain later. lol the US is just as bad as Canada- look at this
  13. then we need to rewire the human mind. Science can do that.
  14. Yes we do precisely why we need a global government. We're going to have a massive war for this to happen. I can see this coming from miles away. This massive war will happen during the next few decades, probably the 2030s and it'll make this pandemic seem like a playground. The rich will lose everything and nature will do what it does- increase entropy by leveling the playing field.
  15. I would take all the money from the rich- by force if necessary. Sometimes the ends do justify the means, and this is one of those cases. We've tried being nice it doesn't work and sometimes a little violence is required. Or a lot. It doesn't really matter as long as the needed outcome is attained.
  16. capitalism and oligarchy only work for the very rich, if things become any more unstable we're going to see a civil war in this country, the current system here is completely unsustainable Personal autonomy- Do you think humanity as a whole is smart enough to be allowed that luxury? I most certainly dont. Radical times require radical measures.
  17. collectivism is a better way that basically puts environment and society on an equal footing with shareholder profit
  18. definitely need to stop coral reef bleaching too. The entire food cycle getting disrupted and the mass extinction event currently underway need to be halted before 2100
  19. There needs to be a heavy financial penalty applied to them, for example force them to pay for the higher rates of disaster we now see. Basically you can take them completely out of wrecking the environment if it no longer holds a financial gain for them. At the same time you can set up some carrots to make adoption of renewable energy much quicker.
  20. Some amazing years on that list! The only one of the 40+ group after 2010 is 2016. Shows how our truly hot summers have become endangered by all this humidity and rain
  21. China's time table is 2060, which is way too late. There definitely needs to be strong economic pressure applied to both countries, and others like Brazil who are destroying their forests. We also need sequestration methods, because we're already at higher levels than we can tolerate. We'll be at +1.5 C within 5 years.
  22. They see the extremes, I would argue for what I call collectivism. It's a more social responsibility route where companies are answerable to society and the environment, not just their shareholders. Some companies (like Dan One) are already doing this. Companies like this sign a social responsibility contract and agree to abide by its terms in order to do business. It's a win/win/win for everyone.
  23. they dont have competent tree trimmers either
  24. it says we need a weather modification device that sucks up water vapor and transport it to the west.
  25. How would this compare to August heat in our lifetimes? Excluding 1953 of course....I'm thinking of 1980, 1983, 1993, 1995, 2001, 2002.....those were the hotter ones. And how would this compare to 1953?
