LibertyBell Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 14 hours ago, forkyfork said: i would do anything to see this happen in today's climate I want to see that combined with this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_winter besides direct climate modification done intentionally this may be the only other way to avoid a climate catastrophe Nuclear winter is a severe and prolonged global climatic cooling effect that is hypothesized[1][2] to occur after widespread firestorms following a large-scale nuclear war.[3] The hypothesis is based on the fact that such fires can inject soot into the stratosphere, where it can block some direct sunlight from reaching the surface of the Earth. It is speculated that the resulting cooling would lead to widespread crop failure and famine.[4][5] When developing computer models of nuclear-winter scenarios, researchers use the conventional bombing of Hamburg, and the Hiroshima firestorm in World War II as example cases where soot might have been injected into the stratosphere,[6] alongside modern observations of natural, large-area wildfire-firestorms.[3][7][8] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good evening Unc. The mid 50’s hurricanes affected me. I lived in a Dyker Heights row house. The power would go out, streets dark, no sound, not even radio. The rooms were lit by candles that did little to dispel the dark. I remember staring out the window, the quiet only broken by the wind and rain, very quiet and frightened.

coastalplainsnowman Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Was just reading NOAA's definition of a blizzard, because reading through this thread and the clips from 1982 I was surprised to see that the April '82 storm was actually a blizzard, which apparently it was around here. Saw that the definition of a blizzard on NOAA's site includes the line "Sustained wind OR frequent gusts to 35 miles an hour or greater." (my emphasis.) How is 'frequent' defined?
