BWI 10/27 DCA 11/17 IAD 10/21 RICH 10/27 Tie: 9.11”

It's been a bad few years for Friv.

LOL, if humans were actually as smart as we think they are. Keep dreaming.

That would likely be the death of us all.

Does this mean 2017 is less than 2016 by 330k or vice versa?

Unless I'm just not reading that right, it sure looks as if the concentration level is much higher across the board with the exception of Hudson Bay.

Oh boy

Can anyone give me the link that will take me where this link used to take me? It leads to Twitter now. https://ads.nipr.ac.jp/vishop.ver1/vishop-extent.html

Put our time, effort, energy, and money in making adjustments to the climate. Status quo is a no go.

The whole idea speaks to the arrogance of humans. Weve pretty much always been guided by the notion that we can mold the earth into what we want it to be instead of adapting and living in harmony with it. You could argue that it's that very notion that got us to this point in the first place.

Geoengineering is an idea that's dangerous as hell IMO. The climate status quo is a fairy tale.

Been a tough summer for you, huh?

It's called wishful thinking.

Does IAD keep stats on number of days with at least 1" snowfall? I know I've seen that data for some airports at some time in the past.

Best storm and total snowfall don't necessarily equate.

It was a lifetime storm. I never expect to see anything remotely close to it.

Was it 5" or 6"? There was beer riding on that...

Get Ian in here. This thread is a great idea.

I triple dog dare you.

I wish somebody would delete this thread

Superstorm..........no doubt.

This thread should be locked forever.

What did the Superstorm drop in Winchester? In SWVA it put down anywhere from 25-42 inches. That storm is the most incredible weather event I've ever witnessed. If you go back and read about it, the stats, the records, you just can't get over how powerful it was (2 degrees in Birmingham!!, 4 inches of snow in the Fla panhandle!! On March 13!!)

You can't have it both ways. If they happened before, who caused them. If not humans, who? If humans have both the ability to cause and stop global warming, then logic would suggest that we have the capacity to adapt to the climate, whatever it becomes. If we can't, if we aren't as smart and powerful as we think we are, then we become one of the "extinction events". You can't belong to both groups. Either we can overcome or we can't. So why worry? Maybe the Mayans were right. Mayber next year is the end. I think I'm worried.
