Think of it like paying up for past debts. This is ironic because our economy and capitalism are entirely based on debt borrowing and credit in modern times. I believe the national debt is now 2.5 times larger than the annual gross domestic product. Starting somewhere on the path to changing mindsets and worldviews will help us prepare the world for the few of us that survive the collapse of civilization. (and it stands to reason the most worthy of us - i.e. the least offenders of the crime) In our case we have borrowed too much debt from the Earth's ecosystem and now we must pay the price. Capitalism is the enemy of our children. The enemy is us. (Anyone older than 35 years)

As if that was the only dichotomy available? This is doing a unfortunate disservice to our prospects. People always become defensive when capitalism is at stake. It doesn't matter what you want or what I want. Capitalism will be removed voluntarily or involuntarily. A planned transition is always easier than an unplanned transition. As well nuclear power has real potential to turn the tables in favor of human civilization.

Contrarily you could take the Bill Gates route which is focus on rapid Carbon Sequestration and Nuclear Power. The budget for these sectors should be at minimum around 2 trillion each year (500 billion for R&D and 1.5 trillion for infrastructure development). What I don't understand is the reluctance to throw all of your chips onto the table in a dire situation. In a system like Capitalism this will never happen due to the inherent risk in the for-profit financial model. We should be scaling down our overhead across the board. Our housing should be efficient and affordable. We should be reducing transportation, grounding all non-essential aviation, etc. The enemy is the for-profit model, i.e. capitalism. Something like the above could be accomplished in a technocratic civilization. (by necessity demanding the cessation of democracy)

Exactly and aging liberal boomers like Obama (who are too old to be inundated). He is divested from the future with good reason.

All of the above should of been in place during the Carter administration and subsequently. We are too late for semantical efforts.

It's not. Nobody has ever told me why. It's more of a novelty.

I believe cross-referencing posts from another forum is against the rules. Just take care guys. Don't end up with the weenie tag or worse.

The thing I remember most about Sandy is the downed trees. We lucked out because they were half-defoliated because it was late October.

You can pretty much be certain that those are extinct. They will not be missed. I remember the days when I would get so pissed due to the suppression.

Pay attention

The snowless winter of 19-20. You will be remembered.

Fake piece of H5 energy.

Guys there's never really been Category 5 winds at the surface away from coastlines ... ever. There's not much common sense in this thread. You need perfect conditions and topography for 140mph+. As for Dorian. All of the reporting equipment failed as the highest winds impacted Abaco. There were clearly category 5 conditions at the surface.

Truely a beautiful and peaceful place that has been taken from us in a indefinite emotional cost.

I wonder how many lucky breaks we will get. Maybe the HAARP people were right.

You may want to rethink your retirement plans after this hurricane or at the very least reconsider buying coastal property.

God willing Josh Mogerman did not look at the 0z HMON. I think he's made it through sub 900mb landfalls but the Bahamas are very flat for the most part.

The question is how do you feel about this? I'll take the CMC over the GFS any day of the week.

That would be the weather equivalent of fake news.

No soup for you.

Late season dirty ridging is so dangerous because it is carrying the momentum from peak insolation. At least that's how I interpret the situation. Here is some perspective.

If it's inevitable then when it happens does not matter. Nobody payed attention to Paul Beckwith's three-legged bar stool.
