hey hey… 1/4” of snow here, so it’s a winter wonderland. .

I know that all of the four-eyed nerds on this site are looking at “forecasts” and “models” and “temperatures” and “trends” but it’s going to snow in April because it’s warm now. Jesus, I’m becoming my father. .

2525. .

Just like high school: Swing and a miss. .

The MLB season starts obnoxiously early this year, hence why it’ll be cold and rainy and miserable first half of April. That’s based off of readings of my proprietary model, Old Man Yells at Cloud. .

It’s going to snow in April. I base this on nothing other than everyone’s mood here and the fact that it won’t snow from today through March 31st. Science. .

Late 80s and Early 90s were also horrendous and soul crushing. .

Didn’t scores of people perish in awful conditions? I mean, luck isn’t the word I would use [emoji51] .

Imagine the boards that year. .

.

Are you old enough to remember that or 1994? .

It’s nice that you’re taking her on a hiking trip for her favorite cocaine. .

I agree with you wholeheartedly re: the media. They suck. It doesn’t matter which outlet you’re getting it from, there’s almost always an angle along with contradictions. As I get older, the more and more I feel the media writes and presents stories to impress their peers in other media outlets rather than just delivering the current story or facts. The hell with the readers or viewers. A perfect example of this that we could appreciate is The Weather Channel. It used to present the facts and what could occur. Now it’s far more opinion-driven and sensational. Even if I agree with what they’re saying re: AGW, it’s so sanctimonious and pedantic.

Eh, I disagree with you regarding corporations. I’ve worked exclusively for corporate behemoths my entire career - mostly European, Japanese, and a few Americans - and they’re nothing like that. They’re just opportunistic and deliver what the people demand. If people demand GHG-infused home heating or GHG-emitting vehicles, or greenwashed-EVs with rare earths, someone will deliver them. It’s just a modern, codified take on organized crime delivering alcohol during prohibition or brothels delivering outlets for shunned proclivities in medieval Europe. Capital is much like water: it seeks out the lowest and easiest point or cost and then builds up from there. .

Ding! We all want the same thing here, I believe. We want a healthy ecosystem and environment *and* people living in a modern society. For example, Natural gas is cleaner than the oil and coal and wood that used to heat our homes, though still not perfect. It will bridge us to an even cleaner source that is being worked on now, even though we don’t realize it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
