Why?

Because the correlation between knowledge and idealism is inverse.

Nice post. Not the same old Faux News garbage.

My favorite optic EVER was the t.v. meteorologist who was standing out in the approaching hurricane. He could barely stand, it was SO windy and scary! Then, in the background, two dudes go walking by each holding a cup of coffee as they strolled along chatting! HaHaHa!

We have all kinds of weather events here in Florida that can and do kill people. Thanks to all the weather people who look out for us.

Not much thanks to the flat earth society members who deny science because Fox tells them to do so that big oil can make more bucks.

The theory that all meteorologists and other scientists studying weather related phenomena have settled into the same wacky, ridiculous global warming narrative in order to save their jobs and feed their families is pretty amusing.

Hurricane season is on life-support. Instead we now have something called Whac-A-Mole ... I mean Whac-A-Hurricane. Find out why Sep 6, 4 PM, at Lake Miona.

I think the above post needs one more word: That is what scientists should do. There are legions of examples where current "scientists" employ this maxim in reverse order. State your conclusion, then go out and cherry pick the "facts" that will appear to support that conclusion. Three simple words should be at the forefront of anyone's mind who wants to do a little fact checking: Follow the Money.

I have some prime oceanfront property on the Gulf of Nebraska for sale.

Interested?

It ain't over til it's over.

Why can I not find this weather meeting on TV site? They show next meeting at Bridgeport on Sep 19th.

LMK because I want to be there.

I will not reach age 12225 or whenever that might occur .

I agree. The funniest jokes are based on truth. Thanks for negating your own argument. 😎

Well said. Now who is getting checks from big oil? Probably not the CBS weather forecasters. But the entertainment "news" channel might be another matter.

And the loudmouths you can find many other places who negate science?

The problem with trying to forecast a overly active hurricane season is that there are a number of factors that can affect the formation and strength of hurricanes that no forecaster can see 6 months ahead. This is just part of the fear that the world is going to end unless we act now! The problem with this is that many have been saying this for decades yet here were are still doing what we were doing decades ago?

What global warming will look like in the future seems fairly well settled. Even if the exact number and intensity of this season's storms involve a lot of educated guesswork.

I know if I had to pick who would be operating on my mother I would not want some Joe Blow from Bodunk University but someone very well trained in what she was doing. And I would trust someone from a top meteorologist school rather than some hobbyist online about global warming. Or some "journalist" more interested in heat than light.

I'm sure it's amazing to you, but it's a nightmare for those who work in those environments. Just mention that subject at any weather club meeting for examples of what you don't know.

I kind of doubt it.

Maybe a nightmare for someone bucking the system for whatever reason.

I never said the Weather Club was giving the talk on Sep 6, at 4 PM, at Lake Miona. I just said the presentation will be about Tonga and why hurricane season is on life support. The talk was requested by the Philosophy Club, which meets each Friday at 4 PM at Lake Miona. This talk was originally given at the Weather Club. It has also been given at the Science & Technology Club, and another is planned for another club next month. This is a very popular and important subject. Each time the talk is given, new data and updated information is added, which is why some people come to each talk -- because it presents information the media will not mention.

Probably because it is bogus.

Most of you need to learn the difference between climate and weather.

Climate is many years of data and you look at the TREND. The trend over the past 150 years has scientific data showing overall warming. It’s this trend we want to reverse.

Inside the the TREND are ups and downs in yearly weather. Some warmer, some cooler. Their individual events which is WEATHER. All the thousands of ups and downs of the weather events creates the CLIMATE trend.


The trend is warmer. Stop basing a cooling season event as your proof of no Climate Change. It shows your ignorance.

Well actually, the long term trend shows cooling. But, looking at the big picture, we are warming and cooling at the same time -- it just depends on which cycle you are talking about. However, in the shorter-term, the next effect of these cycles shows we are still thawing out from the Little Ice Age.

Sunspot activity has intensified in Solar Cycle 25. A lot of REAL scientists are now claiming the Ice Age termination event. Ideally conditions on earth for biological life is about 9F warmer than today, with atmospheric CO2 at about 1100 PPM (0.11%).

Why would anyone trust experts...We should only trust perts.

The last ice age "glaciation" terminated about 8,000 years ago, when our current Interglacial Warm Period peaked in what we now call the Holocene. We are now very slowly headed into the next glaciation.

I just don't have that much of a problem with "heat indices".

The number and strength of Hurricanes and Global Warming are 2 different (but related subjects). Global Warming is the increased temperatures measured by scientists worldwide that have taken place in the last 30 or so years. Hurricanes increase with ocean temperature, but there are about 4 other factors also. Wind shear prevents hurricanes from forming. It has been HIGH for the last 3 weeks (but that could change). The tropical wave track has been pushing further north than usual. Atmospheric Stability- The air aloft is warmer than normal, which may or may not be caused by water vapor from Tonga could be keeping the upper air warm (a favorite theory by the Weather Club). MJO- an atmospheric wave that goes around the globe every 30 to 60 days.
.........Most BIG storm hits to the US have happened AFTER Sept 10 th.

Scientists say that is ONE POSSIBLE factor out of about 5.

I would have to say that Global Warming is "settled science". Since it is just recorded temperatures showing increases in about the last 30 years. There is NO mystery to recorded data.

2 people out of hundreds of thousands of climate experts worldwide. I doubt there could be a conspiracy that BIG.

Simply look at the temperature increases worldwide in the last 30 years. That data does NOT lie.

Crop yield have stopped rising in last 2 years in the US. The soil has been over-fertilized and over used. And since we supply food to much of the world - there is going to be starvation in many parts. And they will be marching North of the equator due to Global Warming destroying their farming lives. Many are all ready here.

Look at a graph of world population. 2 decades ago it was much less.

So experts are RETIRED PERTS ?

So many pretty colors. Someone may get HIGH on that graph.

Is science ever really "settled"?

I've always seen science as the logical formulation of theories based on all pertinent current data, with the understanding that as more data comes to light, those theories may be revised slightly, altered significantly, or even negated totally. History is replete with examples of "settled science" undergoing such changes. Phrenology, determining personality traits by the shape of one's skull, was "science" in roughly the first half of the 19th century before more information coming to light completely discredited it. But my favorite has to be the science of astronomy. It was "settled science" back in the fifteenth century that the earth was the center of pretty much everything. I mean, you could SEE it. The Sun faithfully circled the earth once every 24 hours. Likewise for the moon and most of the stars (those pesky points of light called "wanderers" didn't always follow the same paths and procedures of the other stars but they were at least predictable. Besides, the earth as the center of everything jived pretty neatly with the current religious thought of the day. Then along comes Galileo, expanding on a theory of Copernicus, and with this newfangled scientific instrument called a telescope and throws the whole settled science of astronomy for a loop. His observations proved that what you SEE isn't always what IS. The church branded him as a heretic and he nearly lost his life in the process. I think it took the church something like 300 years to finally admit that they were wrong and Galileo was right.

Such is what happens when "settled science" becomes dogma.

Don't be so sure of backing off extreme forecasting!

They are still at it. .

They have to keep the public continually alarmed in order to control them. Since there is no climate crisis -- they have make up the crisis of the day. It's both funny and sad to see.

Yeah! It really does! 🫠🫠🫠

So how much did man-made CO2 "really" warm the earth last year?
