Rain tonight looks to be a bust.

Again wrong. Do you try to be wrong or does it just come naturally for you?

1.27 the other day. Chilly this morning, 34

Below normal temperatures are likely for the foreseeable future. We also turn wetter with rain chances increasing tomorrow morning and especially tomorrow night. Each day trends a bit chillier through the upcoming weekend with highs by Saturday around 15 degrees below normal for the start of May.

Woah

does Ben Noll anything?...the pacific is on fire all over the place...nothing like the other years mentioned...latest oni number this week is +0.2...the mei and oni numbers have this year behind those years mentioned...he could be right in the long run but I think this year will be different...2014-15 was a weak el nino which became a very strong one in 2015-16...the pattern setting up now would be good for next winter if it continues...we saw this in 1976, 2002 and 2009...the cvsv2 still has a moderate forecast with some members getting strong but shows weakening before next winter...

No point in arguing with snowlover76 about anything.

If it's not doom and gloom, it's wrong. And even if you're right, he'll lie and use made up data to say you're wrong.

Woah

You didn't know we covered all the Earth's oceans with a concrete jungle and are now way warmer than average due to UHI?

I'd really like to know how warm it needs to get before people go maybe we are doing something to the Earth's atmosphere lol

Even if you don't give a shit and/or don't want to do anything about it, just admitting that yea we are warming the Earth.

The funny thing is, when they point to past climates that were also warm, they don't realize those changes took thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, not fccking decades.

And ironically are referencing the work of paleoclimatologists that are also telling them that the current warming is human induced. So they take what they like and ignore the stuff they don't like.

32 degrees out here this morning- a late season freeze and Friday morning is expected to be a few degrees cooler!

the cure would be worse than the disease...

Potentially, yes. I personally believe nature will cure itself one day, one way or the other.

yeah, if we all disappeared tomorrow that might happen...a heavy price to pay to save the planet...Carl Sagan would say 'if humanity doesn't destroy itself'...the way the world is heading that might happen...

We will blow each other up before the world ends.

We all will live quite fine for 1000s of more years and adapt like humans always have. We have people living in super cold environments and deserts forever. I think we will be ok.

You misunderstand. These changes are too fast. Humanity is too spread out compared to the past.

If nothing is done Antarctica WILL melt. It's done so in the past naturally. That will flood EVERY SINGLE MAJOR COASTAL CITY ON EARTH. It might not happen for a few hundred years.

But you tell me if it's easy to move several billion people away from the coast, and if it's cheap. NYC for example would be under 200 feet of water. All of Florida will be gone. This isn't some type of moderate coastal erosion. This is changing coastlines in some cases by a few hundred miles.

Stress and diseases also will spread away from the tropics. Now we see flesh eating bacteria all the way up to coastal Masachusettes when previously it was confined farther south. Or see the invasion of bark beetles killing millions of trees because of increased heat and drought stress. The list is huge.

People act like a couple or a few degrees C is no big deal. But it's the same as taking on more step forward when you are already standing on a cliff edge. That one more step causes a hell of a change to the outcome of your life lol

So I can personally guarantee you that humanity will not be fine for 1000s of more years if nothing is done. It's scientifically and mathematicaly impossible.

We might be pretty ok for the next several decades, sure. But shit will get worse over time and you will just get used to it and accept it. Same way people just accept high rates of crime, r@@pe, low trust in society, etc. You just got used to shittier conditions and you accepted it.

But in a few hundred years with no changes, the shit would have hit the fan for real.

This quote is perfect:

“Two ways: gradually, and then suddenly” is a famous line from Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises.

Origin and Context

The quote appears in a conversation between Bill and Mike CamHan Soloell in The Sun Also Rises, where Bill asks Mike how he went bankrupt. Mike replies: “Two ways. Gradually, and then suddenly” (Book II, Chapter 13) to describe the slow accumulation of financial troubles that eventually reach a tipping point, illustrating the nonlinear nature of change and collapse in life and society. Hemingway’s phrasing captures the idea that significant transformations often build imperceptibly before erupting dramatically.

Broader Meaning

Beyond financial ruin, the quote has been widely interpreted as a metaphor for many aspects of life, including personal growth, habits, relationships, and societal change. It reflects the principle that small, incremental actions or events can accumulate over time, eventually leading to sudden, noticeable outcomes. For example, learning a new skill, developing a habit, or technological innovation often progresses slowly at first, then accelerates rapidly once a critical threshold is reached

Not to mention that billions of people in warm & humid climates will become displaced with future warming as those areas become too hot/humid for long term livelihood. Will lead to a significant increase in resource competition.

When we cross 2C above preindustial levels is when we will start to see this happen.

India and China are the biggest offenders. India is probably the worst. They're killing the ocean

Those countries and THE PITS. India and other far east countries are just relegated to sub human conditions. Shame
