The comparison to the great K-T event is what would finally fix our climate change and human overpopulation problem, both in one shot.
-
meanwhile the steady rain is back here
-
how do you feel about these ideas to drop insolation 1-2 percent by introducing SO2 particles into the upper atmosphere? it would have to be done on a yearly basis, beginning around 2030
-
that's probably why the rich guys want to leave the planet John.
-
I went less humidity but more heat.
-
it goes beyond that, look into the gap in 100 degree highs at JFK, it's been increasing, currently we have set the new record for the longest gap in 100 degree days in station history. Ever since 1966 the gap has been growing larger. The oceans do absorb the heat but hopefully that is about to come to an end and JFK will once again get 100 degree days with a shorter gap like we used to before. The other sign is the complete absence of 7+ day heatwaves since 2002. These were more common in the 70s, 80s and 90s but we haven't had a 7+ day heatwave in NYC since 2002 (when we had two) and 1999 (when we also had two).

ended here before 2 pm

I can understand things being canceled Sunday, the Yankees game was played after a rain delay and it rained for much of the game, but Saturday was a mostly sunny day here and nothing should have been canceled that day.
-
Do these weather apps have radar on them though? They really should not be canceling anything unless something is about to hit the area within the hour. It's been raining pretty hard here for the last 30 minutes or so.
-
I thought we'd have most of our rain tonight, so this is a bit of a bonus.
-
Yeah I don't get all the whining, it's raining when it's supposed to be raining. It wasn't supposed to rain that much over the weekend anyway.
-
it's raining pretty steadily here
-
lol this is weird, do you realize I wrote the exact same thing you did but in the ENSO thread? Nature's forms of balancing may well be saturated. They are the only thing that held back a Venus type runaway greenhouse effect. That dam may have broken.
-
paradoxically, all those nukes going off at once would actually be a good thing if looked at through the lens of climate change, as it would result in a sudden and immediate drop in temperatures.
-
science fiction writers are smarter than most people and have been incorporating this into their stories (as well as environmental collapse) going all the way back to the 1920s.
-
the reason coastal areas have warmed more is because the oceans are heatsinks. We're very lucky the oceans are there to do that, otherwise the entire planet would have become like Venus already. It might yet one day anyway when the oceans become so warm they are completely saturated with heat.
-
It's interesting how much the ocean has sucked up the heat which has stopped the increase of 90 and 100 degree heat which peaked in the 1990s (with another peak from 2010-13). The earth is trying to balance out humankind's excess by dumping the heat into the ocean, let's see how long that lasts.
-
The rain might be great for some veggies but my newly bloomed red roses look all mangled right now.
-
I was turning 10 years old and we had just moved into a new house and I was enjoying the central air and our big back yard with large pine trees and acorns lol where I played ball. Great memories!!
-
why are we getting so many cut offs, this belongs in March lol
-
Just wait til we get to Friday and Saturday when we might be in the 40s at night.
-
September 1983 was a classic hot extended summer wasn't it, Chris? 6 days of 90+ including a 95 degree day in there on the 11th? This was after it hit 100 at JFK in August. Why does it look like it was below normal for the month of September on Long Island though?
-
Next meaningful rain will be tonight. It's not a bad pattern at all, just wish it was sunny during the day, it can rain all it wants at night.
-
These are the classic summers I grew up with that I knew and loved. I have dim memories of 1977 (mostly because of the blackout.... I think there's a pun there somewhere, unintentional I assure you lol) but stronger memories of 1980, 1983, 1988, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2002. The summers in the 90s were when I was in college and enjoyed wonderfully sunny summers at the beach, I think those summers all the way up to 2002 were the best summers we've ever had, only usurped by 2010-2013 which also had wonderful weather. Since 2013 we just haven't had summers like that anymore. We haven't even had a stretch of 7 or more days of 90 degree heat in a row since 2002 (we had two that year and also two in 1999.)
-
steady heavyish rain now, today has been a pretty rainy day and so will the next 2 days. This storm is not underperforming
