A small patch of Pacific Ocean water being only 1C above normal completely disrupts global weather patterns and causes flooding and droughts but 2C globally does nothing.

Maybe you shouldn't be the tard.

So 2C for humans is bad but 2C to the Earth does nothing?

The earth is a lot stronger than a human. The planet is a self correcting system and it will be fine. This sounds like al gore fear mongering.

Since the Hunga Tsonga volcano blowup in January 2022 it definitely has affected the weather and it could be do so for another several years at least. I am shocked that this is really talked about. The biggest volcanic explosion in our lifetime by far. Instead of throwing up, dust it through water vapor into the atmosphere,troposphere and stratosphere.

And at the same time global shipping aerosol pollution dropped dramatically:

"The Shipping-Aerosol-Climate Link

Previous Regulations: On January 1, 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) (IMO) mandated that the sulfur content in shipping fuels drop from 3.5% to 0.5%.

Aerosol Cooling: Before 2020, sulfur emissions from ships created large amounts of aerosols that acted as "cloud condensation nuclei." These particles made marine clouds brighter and more reflective, scattering sunlight back into space and masking a significant portion of greenhouse gas warming.

The "Termination Shock": The drastic ~80% reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions caused "ship tracks"—linear, bright clouds—to largely disappear, reducing the reflective haze over shipping lanes and resulting in a, in effect, inadvertent geoengineering termination shock.

You're not talking to Al Gore. He's just a talking head.

The Earth will be fine of course. It heals itself.

The Earth healed itself after the asteroid made 75% of all species extinct 66 million years ago too lol

I bet @FrankPizz gets annoyed when people say there's an antenna in his company's vaccine or it kills you or whatever else they say about the COVID vaccine. I get annoyed the same way about climate.

We were told for many years that aerosol was deadly and it’s going to kill everyone on earth and now look what happened as the result. The air is clean, but more sunlight gets through and now everyone’s complaining about that.

I don’t like Higher dew points I don’t like 80° dew points in the summer, but the fact is the warmth has been more beneficial than it has been negative.

It’s like I keep on saying when I was growing up in the 1970s there was so much thick smog in New York City in the five boroughs that it would create a film on everything. It was constant. It was very rare. You got clear day. There was always haze in the year and I’m not talking about Haze from Forest fire I’m talking about Haze from pollution. The cars used to burn oil and it was thick and purple when it came out of the tailpipe and I’m talking about Barney type purple. It smelled horrible. It was absolutely disgusting.

The air is so much cleaner now. I’m willing to bet you even see a difference for what it was like from. Let’s say when you were growing up in the 1980s till now.

Yea I've been to places when I was young that hadn't cleaned up the local air yet and you can see like blackish crap collecting on the surfaces of buildings from all the air pollution.

we have come a long way over the last 60 years cleaning up the air we breathe...

Line in PA looks pretty healthy. We'll see if it weakens

Looks like its fading a bit, ugh

In the forecast product that I write, I lowered to only 70% chance in NE NJ, I guess that was a good job.

I was a month old. You know this is the first I’ve ever heard about this. That had to be really bad because I remember in the 1970s there were many days that were just horrible.

The air is so clean today compared to them. It’s completely different and unrecognizable from what it used to be like.

Thankfully long range but models look like crap MDW

what a bust on the rain today

Dry

We picked up 0.44" here in East Nantmeal since last night, Cool and breezy today before we start a nice warming trend. Some lower valley spots may touch 90 by next Tuesday. Higher ridge locations are likely to remain in the mid to upper 80's. We will likely see a return to cooler temps toward the end of next week. Our next chance of rain looks to be toward mid-week.

record highs for NYC for the upcoming warmth...I had little league practice on 5/19/1962...it was 99 that day and it is still the hottest May day on record...

5/17	92 in 1974	90 in 2017	90 in 1977
5/18	92 in 2017	90 in 1936	90 in 1906
5/19	99 in 1962	91 in 2017	89 in 1996+
5/20	96 in 1996	91 in 1959	90 in 1978+
5/21	93 in 1996	90 in 2022	90 in 1934
5/22	96 in 1941	93 in 1992	91 in 1959
5/23	94 in 1964	92 in 1992	91 in 1994+

16 of our last 20 days have featured below average temperatures. Today will be another below average day before we start a strong warmup with temperatures by Tuesday approaching 90 degrees across especially the valley locations across the County. A cold front will cross the area later Wednesday with a chance of some showers. Following that front we should see temperatures fall back closer to normal levels by the end of next week.
