Just like they whole warming thing might be a bit media hyped??

Hmmm

 

I really did not expect so many global warming science deniers on here. Impressive

I will say nothing further on this issue beyond this post because I  doubt I  will come across as anything other than acidic. But i don't believe we can believe any article written by either side unless it has been peer reviewed and commented on by both sides of the issue. Everybody receiving a paycheck in journalism has an agenda and everbody else has an opinion they want to push. I  equate these kinds of articles as using a forecast to verify a future forecast period. 

One last thing. I'm in my 60's and was already a weenie in the 70's, and there WAS a lot of news on the issue of the climate going colder. In fact, I do remember seeing a Time cover story suggesting climate was turning colder.

I'm done. 

So didnt bother to read the article, did ya?

I don't think half the country DGAF, rather they understand there iust isn't much they can do about it on an individual level and don't want to see us make massive sacrifices as a nation that may hurt us in various unforeseen ways while doing very little to stem the tide of global climate, particularly when many other nations do nothing.

I also don't think most see it as an existential threat that is going to take down all of humanity.  I mean, let's not forget we still live on a planet where far more people die every year of cold temps rather than warm ones, and the vast majority of flora and fauna thrive in warmer climates than cold ones.  Heck, we have already seen a significant greening of the planet in terms of expanded plant life.  Also, the threats are extremely slow moving.  It's not like rising sea levels are just going to wipe out entire civilizations.  No, people will just slowly move inland over time and adapt to the changing conditions, as they always have.  And that's IF the sea levels even get to that point of crisis, which I have my doubts about. 

Look, the planet is certainly warming but the climate is never static, and while it may be warming at a rate faster than we'd like, measures are being taken on a macro level to mitigate that, and again, much preferable to global cooling, which by the way all the experts were warning of just a few decades ago, a mere blip on the climatological scale.  Heck, I've had guys at work showing me their textbooks from the 70s and 80s where entire chapters were devoted to global cooling and the impending mini ice age and the measures that could be taken to get the Earth to absorb more sunlight, like laying certain materials across huge swaths of the Arctic to prevent solar reflection.  Think about that haha.

I am fine with moving towards some alternative and renewable forms of energy because it's just better regardless of climate effects and we know certain fuels are in finite supply on this planet, but I absolutely see no need to panic about any of it.  As has been said before, the same people who can't tell you what the weather will do in a week want you to believe with 100% certainty what the climate will do in 100 years.  A little bit of humility could go a long way for these folks.  And hey, if it means a few more people moving back north or less people fleeing to deserts like Arizona and Nevada, well, I think we can all agree that's a good thing haha.  Man.  Will.  Adapt.  I digress.

Yea, the whole cooling thing from the 70's was a bit media hyped https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/06/that-70s-myth-did-climate-science-really-call-for-a-coming-ice-age/

Admittedly, I do not know/am not educated nearly enough to fully understand the ramifications and timing of a warming earth. I certainly don't want to be naïve, either. I have grandkids that are just learning to walk and talk and I am concerned about the world they'll be a part of after I'm done on this earth. 

Having said that, I'm more concerned about issues other than this.

People always have more and better things to be concerned about. That's why we're racing arms wide into a pretty shitty future for our kids and grand kids. Is there much any one of us can do for it? Nope.

Narrator: Its raining

I've noticed that happen around here multiple times in the summer. It's very odd. One summer night had a steady rain and there was literally nothing over us lol

Hazard a guess its due to the beam height of the radar vs the height of the rain clouds themselves

1.36in in the gauge. Highest wind gust my stations recorded so far was like 8mph but its not in a great spot for wind. I think if anything really shows for winds its gonna be from this stuff when it comes into play

1.17in in the gauge

I feel like Ophelia (or whats left of it) is well west of the expected line/cone

Sitting at .22in of rain so far winds mainly below 5mph. Pretty meh so far

I'd stop by Canderson's house and borrow his wind machine. You'll get it done quicker that way. I heard that thing's so powerful that it even relocates trash cans...

The proof for UAP's was right in front of us the whole time; Canderson's GCRF! (Garbage can relocation field)

0.75in of rain so far

I've got 1.02in in (discount) Camp Hill (aka Shiremanstown)

Cashtown's rig in 1982

 

nout enough shag carpet for 1982

Its humid out

Doubtful, but not impossible.  Not a great answer, I know ha.

I'll give ya a pass

Anyone think we're gonna get anything this afternoon/tonight?

What a dreary ass morning. Atleast it was cool with all the humidity

Well we  know that solution cant be right because the storm bubble around Camp Hill wont allow it. RIP to areas east and west

The NAM 3k seems to push multiple rounds of servere weather through western PA tomorrow and Fri. HRRR seems to drop the hammer with a few rounds on Thursday and then most of PA getting whacked on Fri.

beautiful morning 67.3 with a nice breeze. feels like the beach

Whoops forgot to post what my image was about

That’s ambitious. There is no instability so I don’t see strong winds (over 40) mixing down. 

Im not seeing anything really that shows particularly heavy wind other than some cells that look to come through in the overnight hours but maybe this is what they're basing the rain on

It was on FX originally so you still have never watched a Netflix series! (Stranger Things is fantastic though ... )

If Stranger Things gets no love for anything else (yes I know its well loved) it making Synthwave popular again I will love it to death for

Last year picked up a bit as well but we are extremely low for Mid-August at that point.  We would need a once or twice a week situation to make this a busy season.   GFS has something end of August.   They are calling for 14-21 storms and have had only 3 so far so take 18 as an example, we need 15 over the next 12-14 weeks. 

Thought we were at 5 storms so far? Yea, five per NOAA increases forecast
