Dark Star Posted Wednesday at 05:12 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:12 PM 1 hour ago, LibertyBell said: good riddance to commercial flying. The airlines deserve it with all their corporate greed and prioritizing profits over passengers. Have you seen how they have reduced leg room and overall comfort for passengers? And they brag about it and plan on reducing leg room even more. I hope they get a recession they never recover from. Stop flying, it's better for the environment and your health too. And there isn't an industry that deserves to suffer more than the airline cartels. I would have hoped that businesses would have learned during covid that you DON'T have to meet in person for a lot of things. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cross bronx is just a complete trainwreck but theres really no fixing it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a rather ironic twist, climate change is taking money right out of the collective pockets of fossil fuel companies, which is GREAT to see.

Sundog Posted Saturday at 02:09 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:09 PM And NYC has had over 5 million people since 1910. That's still bigger than the second biggest city in 2025, LA. So UHI was well baked in by then. I want to know if there is a way to find how highs and lows have changed over time separately instead of being averaged together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you right now our May highs were a lot hotter between 1987-1991 lol. The TV Mets always talked about going right from winter to summer back then.

donsutherland1 Posted Saturday at 05:10 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:10 PM AI numbers for June. These numbers will again be verified at the end of the month. They appear to be noticeably cooler than the guidance in New York City and Boston. That was the case in May, and May will be cooler than the guidance. It's too soon to speculate about skill or lack of skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not. However, I suspect that those June numbers are too low given the guidance. However, that’s the way things stood at the end of April. The AI idea schooled the EPS. If the AI idea again proves much better than the guidance, that might offer a hint of skill. I would still like to see a lot more data before reaching firm conclusions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibertyBell Posted Saturday at 06:24 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:24 PM https://www.accuweather.com/en/space-news/aurora-alert-northern-lights-to-glow-over-us-sunday-night/1780372 The biggest display of the northern lights since 2024 could unfold at the end of the weekend and start of the new week following a massive eruption on the sun. On Friday evening, satellites detected an explosive solar flare on the sun. This sent a tremendous cloud of charged particles toward the Earth, and when it arrives, it will set off an expansive display of the aurora. The northern lights could glow as early as Sunday night, with the potential for another showing on Monday night -- and people in more than half of the United States could see the Aurora Borealis. "The aurora may become visible over much of the northern half of the country, and maybe as far south as Alabama to Northern California," NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center said. The impending solar storm is predicted to be a level 4 out of 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
