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.
The largest April snow event in Minnesota’s recorded history brought 13.6 inches. That was on April 14, 1983.
This year, April 14 could bring an event that eclipses that one, at least in the southwestern portion of the state.
WCCO meteorologist Molly Rosenblatt says that area is likely to see 8 to 15 inches of snow — or even as much as 18 inches — by Sunday evening. The situation in the Twin Cities isn’t necessarily much better, with anywhere from 7 to 10 inches likely.
A blast of arctic air will bring frigid nights to the central United States and may cause damage to the winter wheat crop over the southern Plains this weekend.
Temperatures are projected to drop into the single digits to near zero Fahrenheit over parts of the northern Plains and the Upper Midwest this weekend.
And here’s the best plan yet…. No shoveling required.
