So, your three words of sameness hit home. It says SO much more about you than me.
Guess you're proof that it was money well spent on that seminar, "Make snarky or sardonic remarks in ten words or less "

Re: Climate Change & The Environment
Have told people an infinity of times, the mathematical weather models are not the same mathematical models used to predict the climate!! Climate models do not predict weather!! Weather models do not predict climate!! These are different "computer programs".
The weather model being changed was written by Americans and did not do as good of a job predicting actual storm tracks as the current European written "computer program". This has been obvious for a few years, so the Americans changed their "computer program" to be more like the European.

The Holocene Epoch is voted to be the past. The Holocene began with the end of the last great ice age about 11,700 years ago. The Holocene is characterized by the rise of man, the ability to find his fossils everywhere on the planet. The Anthropocene is characterized by the ability to find the products of man everywhere on the planet, man's conquest of the planet, its subjugation. Scientists now have to pick a date which divides the two.

More fun with climate change!!!

"New research offers one way to look at the enormity of the cost as policymakers consider how to choose winners and losers in the race to adapt to climate change. By 2040, simply providing basic storm-surge protection in the form of sea walls for all coastal cities with more than 25,000 residents will require at least $42 billion, according to new estimates from the Center for Climate Integrity, an environmental advocacy group. Expanding the list to include communities smaller than 25,000 people would increase that cost to more than $400 billion.
“Once you get into it, you realize we’re just not going to protect a lot of these places,” said Richard Wiles, executive director of the group, which wants oil and gas companies to pay some of the cost of climate adaptation. “This is the next wave of climate denial — denying the costs that we’re all facing.”

Link to page where you can get climate "stripes" (a graph that shows the deviations from normal as colors, with blue colors for cooler than normal and red for above normal) for individual states and cities in the US (dated back to 1895):

Trump clarified it all. He isn’t ignoring climate change but he isn’t going to do anything about it because it would hurt corporate profits. Forgetting I suppose it would create other profits.

Re: Climate Change & The Environment
Barry predictions are dead on accurate. The "potential" of 25 inches of rain fall fell remarkably short. But, by 2030, Manhatten will be under water.
Being on the bay for a week, still dirty. Nasty in fact. (Miles river/St. Mikeys ) 50 years plus and STILL nasty.
does tRump have monsanto cabinet members, like his predessor.?

Re: Climate Change & The Environment
I'm a scientist !
NOAA buoy/station 44008 (track for tuna fishing )
July 16th, 1985
High water temp. of 18.7 c, low of 16.7, all within hours of each other
https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/view_text_fil ... al/stdmet/
Thirty four years later.......
July 17th, 2019
Temp. at 13:40 UTC (Boston is 4 hours behind utc ) is 17.74 degrees celsius, it was 18 degrees C just 20 minutes ago.
Throw it into a computer model, and I manipulate the actual water temp to be 20 degrees C. (because, I can. I am a $cientist )
But, what's it all mean? We go thru this excercise, or rather, I do, every year.
In almost fourty years, the water temp. fluctuates 2-6 degrees in any given 24 hour time period. What dies? Also, and more importantly, the water was warmer in 1985 than it is today. Unless you don't value the NOAA buoy history and data.
So, where, exactly, is the water temp increasing ?
