Then, on Sunday morning I passed by a house with a palm tree that looks like it exploded, maybe from a lightning strike.

The thunder was so loud and the lightning so bright that I thought it was like when Key experienced the raging battle when he wrote our National Anthem! Bombs bursting in air!!

Go to the poa4us.org web site. Select the Bulletin Tab for the July 2024 issue and page 14 for an extensive description of the lightning issues we face living here in the Lightning Capital of the USA.

And why does the channel 6 weather man say the Florida coastline is sinking due to rising water from warming temps?

I’m not criticizing your stance, just appreciate hearing both sides of the issue.

While most glaciers are melting (since we are still thawing out from the Little Ice Age), more than 100 are growing. We are currently cooling via Milankovitch cycles, warming via solar cycles, cooling via sunspot cycles, warming via Tonga volcano -- all at the same time. Find out the details at the Weather Club ...

Why not share the information here for those that cannot attend. Probably could be valuable for all Villagers

This helps my 11 yr. old 100 lb. German Shepherd from Petco It's called (Pet Honest Hemp Calming) PetSmart and Chewy also carries. I also have Lavender spray and plug-in. Lavender calms, (But not good for Cats!) Good Luck hope this helps.

Here's the bottom line ... get Lightning Rods to avoid being in the newspaper.

Interesting, thank you!

Sadly it seems they want you to go to their anti developer club meeting ;-)

The same people who spam your driveway each month with their POA propaganda letter.

Anyway, since lightening does not care about your politics, here's a direct link to the Bulletin with a nice article by Len Hathaway,

Our Industrial revolution for the proverbial drop in the bucket. No deal, green or otherwise, will make a difference.


This thread would be a good place to share your data..

There is no data proving CO2 harms our climate.

Followed the Weather Club link, are the dates and subjects up-to-date?

Yes, the Weather Club site listing is up to date. However,

1. Future scheduled talks do sometimes change based on current events. For example, the August talk was originally going to be about Ocean Heat, but since the media still refuses to acknowledge how Tonga is causing this year's heat spike, a new "Tonga Volcano" talk is being created just for that purpose - and the Science & Technology said they also want to hear it in August.

2. In addition to the 4 scheduled talks listed on the Weather Club site, there are 8 more (weather & climate) talks being given to other Villages' clubs. For a monthly update to all Weather Club related talks, including announcements to talks outside the Weather Club, sign up for monthly announcements via the email address at the bottom of this link ...

Believe you are the one with the false narrative. Humans are not the only cause of climate change but are the only one we can do something about. 95% or more climate scientists say warming deniers are an ostrich with their head buried in the sand.

Claims of 95% consensus are misleading, because in science there is no consensus - there's just data. Many ground-breaking discoveries and theories were created by ONE person (often completely contrary to consensus). Consensus is the basis of politics, which data is the basis of science ... and right now there is no data proving CO2 harms our climate. Learn the more at the Weather Club ...
