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?

Sun

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.

We can never be free and all forced to abide by the same edicts. We are humans and are bound by human nature. We cannot ever have zero emissions or zero waste as long as we live in an industrialized world (or society(s) in general). There is no turning back now. The only chance is education. Education helps keep the population under control (voluntarily).

I would think the opposite? Not sure how anything can be free under strict regulations?

Perfectly thought out. There is theory, then, there is reality. I wouldn't say nuclear energy is totally safe. Human nature insures that. My biggest problem with nuclear energy is that we haven't solved the permanent storage of the waste. Right now, it is stored at the production sites. Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but one of the suspected reasons for the drone sightings was that they were looking for missing radioactive material.

You hit on the key, global cooperation. However, the key to any economy is the cost of energy. Those who choose to invest and rely on alternative sources of energy will not only lose out economically, but could in fact create a huge disparity in military readiness. That is where we stand. If you can get China and Russia to buy in, then full speed ahead.

CO2 and Methane will not directly have an effect on human health. It is a matter of time when the warming effect will melt the ice caps enough to begin flooding coastal areas, permanently. Sorry, but I won't be around to see it...

Dunno. The theory is that the oceans were absorbing the CO2 for a while, which would explain the brief cooldown during the early 1980's? Recently, NJ wanted to install a sequestration operation where they would take CO2 from nearby plants in Linden, and pipe into the underground sea caverns in the Atlantic. What would have prevented the gas from dislodging and percolating back to the surface? Christie nixed the idea (probably a good thing?)
