Isn't the priority of a major airport to move people? Why haven't they redirected or reduced cargo planes at Newark if there is such a problem there? It shouldn't matter if Fedex or UPS have major contracts. In a state of emergency as it seems Newark Airport is in, shouldn't the FAA step in and at least try to relieve some of the air traffic? Oh boo hoo, we get our packages a day or two later because Fedex flights are redirected to JFK, LaGuardia or Philly...

Thunder and a light rain starting to fall in Tremley Point section of Linden, NJ

If they can outlaw gas stoves, they can outlaw energy-wasteful air conditioning?

Alaska rivals Hawaii as the most beautiful states, so not too shabby there...

I guess I will continue the unrelated banter by stating I wish there was a way to respond to the banter, but linking it to a more general "thread", so as not to continue to clog up the topic?

It really doesn't matter. We use all historical data for the minimum/maximum records for any specific date, but only use the previous 20-30 year average for the day's average temperatures? When people hear heat index temperatures, or wind chill, they think that is the actual temperature, so, it really doesn't matter,because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from Mohawk cause they've got all the money!

Perhaps local major media "meteorologists" should climb aboard and not use Central Park temps? I know, wishful thinking...

Union wage, etc.,closer to a billion. NYC building costs are astronomical compared to the rest of the country. I forget the difference of the cost of Citifield being built with a dome vs. no dome, but it was quite large. It would cost $800 million to put one on now...

They don't have to tell anybody. Perhaps a group of us can go in there, with a ladder, with nobody suspecting anything?

It's NYC.

Maybe not a true dry slot that we seem to see all too often; maybe a "weak" slot?

Right about where we should be.

I wonder if this was it?

Looks like, with very localized exceptions, you are going to be right...

It takes a while for the blacktop and buildings to heat up and absorb the sun's rays, attic spaces to fill with hot air, day in and day out. So even though April temperatures may say summer, there is a lot of all around warming to occur, not to mention heat loss during the cool dry nights.

Windier? Its been windy for at least the last 9 years...

Capitalism is not the problem, its corruption. Don't think there is less corruption in socialist states.

The link says scholar.princeton, so I won't be able to understand it. They are too intellectually advanced for me.

There are, but you may not like how they are run...

Used to love to hang out, outside.

Censorship to prove a point? Do you prefer global warming or completely indifferent?

In case anybody hasn't figured out, I am a conservative. However, a simple graph indicates an anomalous increase in temperatures coinciding with the industrialization. Since we can't predict weather 5 days in advance, there is no one model that can ever tell us conclusively that the global warming is or isn't a result of the emission of greenhouse gases. Before it became fashionable to climb aboard the global warming train, there were a few scientists as early as the 1970s, modeling and theorizing that this was occurring. While we cannot in practical terms eliminate fossil fuels immediately, there needs to be a long term energy plan, even if that means we risk flooding out most major coastal cities (from melting ice caps) to the point of massive population relocation, which will be extremely costly, and in the meantime, many deaths from increased flooding. It won't be my problem, since I'll be long gone. As for the cows, silly extremists haven't done the math to compare pre-European North America with its massive buffalo population.

That is the problem.
