Sundog

Ironically out of the last 4 days today is the clearest, sunniest day at the beach

He should be good for a few hours at least it seems

@Brian5671, more rain, higher dewpoints and minimums, more clouds, overall higher temperatures AND @FPizz can't generate as much electricity? Sounds like a nightmare bro, that last point about his solar panels not producing dividends for @FPizzkeeps me up at night.

See all the sneaky ways climate change has impacted you lol

Eh. When I say not good I don't mean unclean. I just mean it's always wavy. It's ocean facing after all. It's also not as crystal clear and most of the time you have to travel a distance to get to the sea. I've been to many beaches on the south shore and barrier islands. They're all very similar in terms of style and type. My biggest gripe is with the breaking waves which come with wind present or not. They're always there.

To be fair all these ocean facing beaches kind of suck unless you're a surfer or something. In summer growing up I would spent the whole of July and August in Greece with family. Calm crystal clear water, low humidity, and maybe you'd see rain two or three times the whole two months. The weather and beaches here are not that good sadly.

Florida weather without the Florida beaches. What a lose lose that is lol

And just as I typed that it started raining again :/

Sadly I'm in Jersey where the drizzle and mist only stopped like 15 minutes ago and still looks gloomy and wet

By mid day my kids don't want to go the beach lol We like to go early, like 10AM

Yea this just enough to make outdoor activities miserable but not provide any rain deficit relief.

Low clouds are fine. There were lots of clouds around yesterday where I am but we still got a beach day in. Today's it's raining on the shore.

Of course it's Sunday morning

Meanwhile what is this crap outside? I didn't expect this dreary mess out there today. And of course it's a Sunday.

Everyone's lows are up, it's a result of the higher average dewpoint. So maybe you used to get in the low to mid 60s and now you get in the mid to upper 60s. You just didn't cross the arbitrary threshold of "70" so it looks less dramatic on paper. No one is immune to the higher average lows since rural or urban the higher dewpoints ruin it for all of us.

Arizona where? Up in Flagstaff? Otherwise it's way too hot. Phoenix average high is like 106 in July, too hot.

That's the worst part. High dews and high lows. I'd take mid 90s every day if it meant dews stay in the 50s or below and lows bottomed out in the mid 60s.

Not sure how you continually posting per capita emissions and historic emissions helps anything. The US can disappear tomorrow and 90% of the problem will still be there. Good luck on solving that 90%.

I'm not sure what this has to do with what I said. What incentive does China have today to keep building so many coal plants when there are so many other alternatives that weren't available in years past?

Basically zero coal plants have been built in Western countries over the last 20 years. China has built between 200 and 300 coal plants in the last 10 years Lol come on guys

Why are they even building coal plants then? This isn't 1960.

AI says over 300 million Chinese don't have indoor plumbing. They want their government to build as many coal plants as possible, climate change is very low on their priority list. I have to constantly remind people that climate change only becomes an issue for people only after all their basic needs have been met, and because the West has basically done that, you see the most activitism for climate change from Western countries.

It's ok, China is allowed to build coal power plants at a furious pace because they emit lower emissions per capita. They also industrialized later than us so even though all modern clean energy technology exists for all the people of the world, they're allowed to build a million coal plants for the next 50 years. The Earth understands.

Interesting. You want people to live at a lower standard than we currently have here apparently because that's one solution to climate change? But we also want as many people to come to the US and therefore adopt that standard of living which would result in an increase of emissions? Can't have it both ways. Is there a way for people to live at the standard of the average American and fix climate change? Because I'll tell you right now every single Chinese person (and everyone else around the world) wants to live at that standard and you can't do anything about it. Telling them they're noble because they live like peasants isn't going to convince them to forego their aspirations to live at the average standard of an American.

Earth doesn't care forky. All it knows is that 30% of global emissions comes from there so you NEED them on board.
