The astonishing thing is seeing it move NW even up at out latitude. It was abreast of eastern LI on the HMON and then moved close to Jamaica Bay lol.

Sounds more like Shades of Sandy not Bob

that's unprecedented lol

You dont really believe any of these wild solutions like the HMON do you Chris? The ones that have the storm swinging NW into NJ or NYC or Long Island? There isn't a record block in place like there was for Sandy and those kinds of scenarios are more probably in October, not August. Dont you think the furthest west this could go is Cape Cod?

Don are the chances low for us getting 1-2" here and up to 3-5" in the Poconos?

Arctic sea ice only has a weak connection to our winters, right? I think minimum value is typically reached between the middle of September and the autumnal equinox?

Yes, exactly! The danger from fossil fuels is FAR greater than the danger from fission. And something I learned a few months ago- did you know that coal actually results in more radioactive emissions into the environment than nuclear fission does? Wow.

looks like we'll have a new supersonic jet next year to replace the Concorde, but this time it will use 100% sustainable fuel. I'll have to read up more on it to see how it works.

fossil fuel cartel brainwashing techniques work well, dont they?

Indeed- because I remember this was being discussed in the 80s and we still haven't made all that much headway. Remember Planck's famous quote about quantum mechanics? It also applies to climate change Planck experienced the truth of his own earlier observation from his struggle with the older views in his younger years: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it."

if you think about it, it makes a lot of sense, if one surmises that CC is moving the climate zones north, well, we have the future of a tropical rain forest climate, unless we keep chopping down all our trees, and then it will just be tropical minus the forest part lol. We will be the new Florida and Florida will be the new Atlantis.

Indeed, especially Thorium. I've heard so many great things about Thorium I don't understand what the hold up is.

the new gen of solar panels are going to actually be built right into house paint.

it may not be that slow, I've noticed a pretty obvious change in climate between the 80s and this past decade. I mean only an idiot wouldn't notice how long the allergy season has gotten and the change in rainfall patterns and growing season, etc.

yes unfortunately. and higher humidity also due to climate change tends to suppress high temps while boosting mins, have seen that all too often here on the east coast

like 95 degree high temps in the CONUS has anything to do with WORLDWIDE climate change - I find it hilarious!

that thing is now a permanent feature year after year. Hard to get anything to come right up the coast

Yeah I think it might have even been extratropical up here. I just remember the news broadcasts that day when we were home from school talking about it as a storm of the century disaster major hurricane about to hit us directly it didn't even have a backside.

Yes, especially after seeing the extremely anomalous western heat this year, I find it laughable.

Agreed but I would also call attention to the fact that corporations usually take advantage of the poor, the disadvantaged, the third world, etc, with their pollution the most, to deliver those goods to the rest of us. So it is humanity who is ultimately to blame, because for the sake of some convenience, we look the other way when the downtrodden are being taken advantage of.

at least for continental travel very high speed trains can replace airplanes Thats going to be the mode of transport all over Europe

whats causing this extreme western movement?

One of the things about Gloria is that people thought it was going to be a Cat 4 hit, when it was abreast of ACY it was still rated as a 135 mph hurricane screaming north.

wish we had satellite images from back then. But nothing, not even camera images? were there cameras in 1821.....

that must have been an amazing storm, how weird it retained its strength and tropical structure with that track
