U.S. Greenhouse Emissions Continuing to Decline
We don't need no Paris agreements; thanks to fracking our emissions are actually going down.
The East Coast Severe Weather Threat is Over
Midnight: The East Coast Threat for Tornadoes and Severe Thunderstorms Has Ended 3:50pm. Tornado watch for the Middle Atlantic Region. 2:30pm Tornadoes are also forecast in the South. 2:20pm. A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia. 1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes. If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub. I'll update later today.
My comment on the linked article:
ReplyDelete"Climate change is a monumental problem ..." and the explicit link to CO2 emissions is to overlook the absolutely fundamental positive role of CO2 in life on this planet. Only now recovering from near-catastrophically low levels in recent ice ages, the increase in CO2 levels is measurably boosting crop yields around the globe. "Global greening" is an established fact, and we have higher CO2 levels to thank.
CO2 is not a pollutant .... It is the stuff of life.
