    it was snowing pretty hard, not sure why it wasn't sticking in the city. Jersey Shore had 6-8", JFK had 4-5"
  2. LibertyBell
    we had 5" here in April 1996 on this day, but that one just missed the urban areas over a foot of snow and blizzard conditions in Suffolk County.

    extremes 1991 and 2010 vs 1982....... 90s on the same date vs a true cold blizzard
  4. LibertyBell
    I'm thinking that we are going back into a similar pattern wrt to our next few summers also (and next year will be near the peak of the 11 yr solar cycle of very hot summers.)
  5. LibertyBell
    talk about extremes.... it hit a low of 6 in 1888 and a high of 85 in 1990 on this date.... I remember that mid March heatwave very well.

    imagine if it was ALL SNOW. The other one I want to see is a redux of Feb 1921 ALL SNOW. check out the liquid equivalent of that storm lol. 5" = 50" of snow! what was going on back then that we had storms like those two?
  7. LibertyBell
    more than made up for in Jan 2016!

    sea level rise has also been running at the upper limit of the models.
  9. LibertyBell
    thats the limit set by the Paris agreement right? How warm would we be by 2050 even if we achieve net carbon neutral by then?

    Siberia will become the world's bread basket at this rate
  11. LibertyBell
    early 90s were very similar.... but we had a solar maximum back then and a solar minimum now?
  12. LibertyBell
    we had some unprecedented cold that month and right through April (basically nationwide)....we even had a 6 inch snowstorm in April to snow out the Yankees home opener! I lost power in the early March event you referenced....didn't the late March event also underperform for the city and western LI?

    Living solar power cells, household microgrids and more projects in the works for the decentralized grid of the future. I like this- so we could make our own power and sell the excess to our neighbors. They've already started doing this in Brooklyn.

    $53 million in fines, even better. I'm glad Cuomo banned new gas lines in the NYC metro area (NYC/LI at least) and banned fracking also. There's one politician at least who has an IQ in the triple digits.

    I remember hearing about ITER- good to know they're still making progress. IMHO "cheap gas" isn't the way to go, especially because of the methane leaks associated with it. Fusion is the ultimate answer.
  16. LibertyBell
    gas company is going to pay $3 million for faulty gas lines that sparked massive fires near Boston

    what frustrates me is that we've been talking about controllable fusion since the 80s....we've had so many technological advances in so many fields since then, why is it taking so long to develop viable fusion reactors?

    2050 sounds about right. I think most are getting more worried about the Antarctic because of the implications of a rapid ice melt there. My question is- do we really need an outlier winter like this to get ice growth in the Arctic regions? Very few winters are going to have a + AO like this winter has had.

    February is right up there too

    thanks Don, and it also makes business sense because it's the fastest growing sector of the job market. Not to mention the savings in health care costs. Whats going on with Wells Fargo? I know they were recently fined $3 billion for that scam they were running from 2002-2016 (opening fake bank accts and charging customers interest) and their former CEO got banned from the financial industry), but in regards to energy, have they also moved away from funding the fossil fuel industry?
  21. LibertyBell
    maybe there's a different way to read that article- do you have an account there? anyway, I could see where both could be true, where what happened during the 1700s had a different cause from what's going on now. I'd love to read that piece too.

    nuclear power can work but they need to do a far better job than Japan did with Fukushima. and why is switching to Fusion taking so long? we've been talking about it for 40 years now. Maybe we need to start genetically modifying humans to make them smarter so they can do this faster.

    just look at what's been occurring in the middle of the country, in states like Iowa and Nebraska, farms there have been underwater for two years running. They're losing billions of dollars because they cant grow crops anymore.
  24. LibertyBell
    well, even if you dont subscribe to anthropogenic climate change, there are many other reasons to stop using fossil fuels, chief among them the health impact they have in urban areas, rising rates of asthma, etc. There has been a civic movement in east coast cities like Providence, RI, to move factories that use fossil fuels out of their cities because of breathing problems people living there have from them. So moving onto a new source of fuel is beneficial for health along with economic reasons.
