Somehow I don't think folks in FL GA, NC and SC get the joke. But thankfully for them they have no power, cell coverage, shelter, food or water so they won't realize what they are missing.
Does your fist hurt from clutching your pearls so tightly, b/c not one single person is making light of the situation, that headline does not do it either...its making fun of those 'claiming' this is a result of CO2 consequences, and yet, in 1917 that very same town was destroyed by much the same, and the CO2 at that time was around 300ppm, long before any industrial age.Kismet wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 5:25 pmSomehow I don't think folks in FL GA, NC and SC get the joke.

Read this very sad story of someone who could not be saved.

My fist is fine.

We all likely know someone impacted this, My Aunt in Florida list everything in her home, thankfully the home is still standing, and a close friend likes in just outside that town.....fortunately, he was on high ground but is immersed helping others.
Indeed a horrible situation.
I know right, happened in 1916 as well, with a co2 at 300ppm. Climate Change was happening then as well, because of all the same things we are doing.NattyBohChamps04 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 5:48 pm Asheville and the mountains of NC are really known for their hurricanes.
The Bee really nailed that one eh?
Any commentary on the bad attempt at satire by the Bee suggesting that western NC is a hurricane alley? Or are you just gonna do the whataboutism?youthathletics wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 6:35 pmI know right, happened in 1916 as well, with a co2 at 300ppm.

....answered earlier, read the reply to Kismet. There is clear science as to how this happens, especially with higher elevations, called mountain-enhanced orographic lift. Wait for it.....geography impacts weather.NattyBohChamps04 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2024 7:37 pmAny commentary on the bad attempt at satire by the Bee suggesting that western NC is a hurricane alley?

Do you find it interesting that back in 1916 it took back to back hurricanes 7 days apart to do all that damage vs one hurricane just now?

Having done some roofing as a younger man...sweating your balls off on a hot day laying shingles is not a recent discovery. You wanna know what was really dangerous about roofing? Carrying a bundle of shingles up a ladder will wear you down quickly. One advantage all roofers have...they get the best tans around. FTR if you stay hydrated and drink a lot of water the heat is a nuisance. I use to soak a bandana with cool water and put it around my neck. It is a tough job better performed by younger people.PizzaSnake wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2024 3:55 pm Going to kill their slaves if they aren’t careful…
Or, maybe that’s a feature. Not a bug.
“No water, no shade. Life as a roofer in the sweltering Florida heat: ‘It feels like 120F’”
CKD is a reality.

Agreed. I also did it for two summers. And our projects were townhomes at the time.....which was waaaaaay up in the air, carrying 20 Squares of shingles up an extension ladder ~30 feet, just brutal. Not only did you have the heat, you coupled it with the physical exhaustion. Now adays, they flood a residential roof with at least 5-10 people, they can rip and replace an average roof in no time, whereas 30 years ago, it was a couple/few and a helper.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 8:20 amHaving done some roofing as a younger man...sweating your balls off on a hot day laying shingles is not a recent discovery.

You get it YA. For some folks to only recently came to the understanding how hot it is on a roof in mid July. Climate change doesn't mean diddly squat. If your a roofer your gonna work on really hot roofs with the sun beating down on you.. The reality is being a roofer was brutal long before climate change was invented.youthathletics wrote: ↑Wed Oct 02, 2024 10:27 amAgreed. I also did it for two summers.
