Apparently it wasn’t Ronald Reagan confronting the Soviet’s “Evil Empire” with Star Wars SDI, but, instead, it was “AGW-Climate Change-Global Warming (AKA: Weather)” that ended the Cold War. Hmmm??
Thanksgiving and Black Friday 2018 will be remembered for a record-shattering cold snap across the Northeast United States. An air mass more typical of midwinter pushed in just in time for Thanksgiving, and temperatures plummeted even further Friday morning.
Numerous cold records were established in New England, New York and even southward into the northern Mid-Atlantic as temperatures tanked into the teens, single digits and even below zero in a few spots,
It all started the afternoon and evening before Thanksgiving.
YET AGAIN, a massive hurricane feeding off unusually warm ocean water has the potential to stall over heavily populated areas, menacing millions of people.
Yet when it comes to extreme weather, Mr. Trump is complicit. He plays down humans’ role in increasing the risks, and he continues to dismantle efforts to address those risks. It is hard to attribute any single weather event to climate change. But there is no reasonable doubt that humans are priming the Earth’s systems to produce disasters.
Here’s my take on this. The Washington Post blaming Trump’s policies for Hurricane Florence is like President Trump blaming the current spate of hurricanes on Jeff Bezos. Bezos is obviously responsible because of the ‘Butterfly Effect‘ caused by all of those bazillions of Amazon packages droning through the ether. Now that’s real science that the WaPo can use to hawk it’s spew.
Nearly every record-high temperature reported over the last few days in the Los Angeles area are from weather stations “compromised by heat sources and heat sinks,” according to a veteran meteorologist.
“In my opinion, the data from these stations is worthless,” California-based meteorologist Anthony Watts wrote on his blog Watts Up With That.
