It’s no different than the rest of CAGW “Studies”.

EVERYTHING is negatively affected by CAGW “Science”, especially my remaining years.

When it comes to Climate “Science”, everyday is April 1.

I think the hypothesis is likely true.

Just look at Venus.

I went to the panhandle of Neb. in 2017 to witness the eclipse.

When we got to near the center of the path at an intersection of a very rural dirt road [that’s how we got there] with US 20, there were only 2 other vehicles with observers.

The best part was listening to the complaints of the cattle just across US 20.

It looks like I’ll get around 85% coverage here, but I doubt there’ll be anything to see. They forecast chances for rain next Monday.

I did get to see the total eclipse in ‘17 though. Watched from my brother’s back yard which was dead-center of the path. Gorgeous, clear day for it too.

After that, watching a partial eclipse will never be as fun. Total is an amazing experience.

If so-called global warming was real, I’d say it’s affecting the brains of the left. But it’s not real, and many on the left are brainless twits without so-called global warming.

I dunno ...

The moisture content of air increases with temperature, which leads to more clouds.

People who live in a desert might disagree. :-) Hotter 'n Hades and dry as a bone.

It’s more like all the crap they’re spraying in the air. I don’t remember the last time I ever saw a perfectly cloudless sky.

Come to Colorado, you’ll see one almost every day. Please don’t go down the “chemtrail” road. As someone who is a pilot and has been in aviation all my life, I can assure you it’s utter nonsense.

The capacity of the AIR TO HOLD MORE MOISTURE....

If you got it.

I’ve never been to the Equator in an ocean geography, but I hear it can rain there.

Where I live, we tend to see much sublimation of snowfalls.

Ha! Cliff Mass is very realistic concerning global warming.

Yeah, the temperature is slowly increasing (as Professor Mass is wont to say), but so what? We are not all going to die like the insane liberals want us to believe.

After that, watching a partial eclipse will never be as fun. Total is an amazing experience.

I saw the one in 2017 as well, from Wyoming where the sky was crystal clear. It’s the only one I’ve seen so far. Before totality arrived, I thought I knew what to expect, but when I took off the eclipse glasses and looked up the sheer majesty of what I was seeing actually caused my knees to buckle. I couldn’t even speak coherently. All I kept saying was “Wow!..Oh wow!…wow!.”

If you’ve seen a total eclipse, you instantly understand why people plan years in advance and fly halfway around the world just to experience a few precious minutes of it. And if you’re just outside the path of totality and think that even 99% total is good enough, you would be completely wrong. The sun is so bright that even 1% of its light is blinding. It’s only when the sun is 100% covered by the moon that it is safe to look at it with the naked eye, and only then are you able to see the indescribable corona and bright red prominences erupting from the surface.

All of that said though, if you’re in the path or near it and it looks like the sky will be clouded over, don’t give up and ignore it. I would still do whatever it takes to get inside that path of totality because you will still experience the amazing darkness that comes, will hear how the animals and insects react as if night is coming, and will feel the steep temperature drop. Where I was in 2017, the temperature dropped 15 degrees in a few minutes.

Ha! Unfortunately, while the geography is as spectacular as ever, these days the next line of that song would have to be, “Where the queers and the drug addicts prey.” I detest what the leftist scum have done to this beautiful state.

Now you’re trying to get too serious in a thread that’s anything but. LOL
Cliff Mass certainly wasn’t being serious. I liked his sense of humor ..... once I read the last sentence. :-)

I wish I could take off to see this eclipse but unfortunately, I can’t.
I agree that once you’ve seen one, it’s easy to understand why people travel all over to watch total eclipses. I’d love to be able to do it. It’s an experience like no other. Just a shame it’s so brief.

Maybe we won’t be totally clouded over next Monday and I’ll get to see what we do get. I still have my glasses from last time. And I can get a pic or two of the shadow crescents, if any trees have enough leaves on them. That could be a problem.

I've been there. It's right next to Upper Lower Slobovia. 🙃

Sad that.

I have two kids [and their fams] that live in the Metro Front Range.

I used to get to hang out there in the 70s.

Things have changed.

I live a bit [by western standards] to the NNE.

Even our pols are quite questionable.

Talking to their office staffs doesn’t move the needle.

I don’t know what to do.

“I don’t remember the last time I ever saw a perfectly cloudless sky.”

Not uncommon in the desert SW
even with supposed increased
atmospheric water vapor.
There’s a reason they’re
called deserts.
