“could imperil”
“could lead to”
“could result in”
“less likely to”
“we are expecting”
“might need to”
“could include”
So many weasel words just in the summary. They won’t be wrong no matter what happens.
Total nonsense in so many ways.
Associated Press and another partisan media shill.
Yep, that’s exactly what I meant.
I’ve seen posts from others here on FR with similar comments. First fall cool spell earlier than normal, cool weather lasting well into May instead of over with and done by mid April...
We’re having a monsoon season down here, more rain the past 2 months than in the past 2 years. We may have had 3 dry days in the past month. Rained last night, night before, night before that or maybe that day was the all day rain, around 3 inches. An old friend of 30 years called yesterday, he poured 2 inches out of his rain gauge yesterday morning, got more last night. Probably at least a half inch. I’ve never seen the lake this high. I think Thursday was...nope, that’s right, it was raining when I left from playing dominoes (42) at 2pm...Friend said he hasn’t been able to mow his yard in 3 weeks, he’d get the mower stuck. Finally got it a couple of days ago, still wet and soft but he got it mowed.
Your camping trip doesn’t surprise me, I’ve seen a number of posts here from people making note of unusual early or late cold snaps. Glad you had some firewood...everything around here is too soggy to burn. Trees are actuallly falling on the flooded outside edges of the lake due to saturated ground. High lake water is putting heavily wooded areas under water for a long period, the dirt gets soggy for 10 feet down, trees just fall over. Fortunately nothing on a house...Yet.
They say the sun is cooling. Let me see. Does that mean the Earth is warming?
OK , start growing Bananas
He is seeking a grant. A perpetual parasite. If this supposed calamity can be linked to global warming (yes, let’s stick to the original name — it at least had a basis in science) he can get monies. Note the weasel words: may, can, etc. Not a definitive anywhere.
Not buying it... What ‘scientist’ did the research and where did he get the grant to do it?
“So they can produce blueberry jam (or other products thst involve warming or cooking the fruit) instead of just the blueberries themselves. Problem solved!”
Or they could learn Java, Python etc.
You are correct, but what the original author probably does not understand is that the "average" temperature doesn't tell you much if you are looking at differences of only a degree or two. Temperatures vary over short distances in Maine (and many other places) depending on things like shade from trees, elevation, proximity to water, slope, local air flow patterns, etc.
It is entirely possible to see 2 degree differences just walking around to different places on a farm. And you can get 3 degree warmer daytime average daytime high temperature in June just by driving from Machias to Amherst.
I'm no blueberry expert but I suspect the wild blueberries of Maine are not affected by the climate differences between Amherst Maine and Machias Maine.
And the reason they freeze them is to prevent them from running around creating havoc.
>Atlanta froze over and stranded thousands of cars on the interstate for the first time ever
Nah, it happens every 10-12 years.
The original snow jam was 1982.
https://snowjam82.com/
There was another major snow event in the early- or mid-90s. It wasn’t as bad because people weren’t at work, snow was falling in the early AM so many people had the sense to not go into work. Hills, lots of people who can’t drive on slick stuff and lack of snow removal equipment means STAY HOME unless you absolutely can’t.
January 2000 there was an event that shut the city down for a day or two, with widespread power outages. I’d bought a generator the prior Fall, so I was prepared. Ran the gas furnace, refrigerator, network gear, laptops, and TV.
Then there was a snow event in 2014. Again, this one happened late in the work day, so LOTS of abandoned stranded cars on the interstates. Very similar to Snowjam ‘82 in that respect.
So not the first time ever.
The Climate Alarmists are an annoyance, however. And if they’re successful in eliminating oil and gas energy, it’s not going to be pretty.
On Friday afternoon it was 106F, this morning it was 59F. We get global warming and cooling in the same weekend.
“...according to a group of scientists...”
Go kill yourselves.
One thing I noticed right away is there was NOBODY on the road. As I approached the ramp to the highway, I got flagged down by a policeman and was pulled over. The cop that came up to me was dressed for the arctic and apoplectic. He was cursing up a storm that I would be out on the roads under "these conditions" and that I was a darn fool for risking the life of myself and everybody in the car with me. I felt like replying back "what conditions?" but I knew not to mess with Southern cops.
I explained that I had all-weather tires and was used to snow being from New England and all. He eventually calmed down a bit and waved me through but was still muttering under his breath.
That’s funny our wild blueberry/huckleberry bushes are loaded this year here in the Pacific northwest. Our domestic blueberry bushes in our garden are also loaded with berries. The blackberry bushes also show a very heavy crop this year. They continue the laughable climate scare. I’m not buying it.
I can totally imagine that happening. Now imagine that in hilly terrain like Atlanta, vs. relatively flat Savannah. It gets ugly quickly.
There’s a major highway going north from Atlanta proper to the suburbs, GA 400. In the 2014 event, there were a couple tractor-trailers that jack-knifed on one of the hills, I think at the Chattahoochee River valley. Totally stopped traffic for many, many hours. Many people abandoned their cars and walked home or to shelter.
There were stories of a Waffle House (they never close) jammed with people, where the customers pitched in to help the staff make food.
We had two friends who didn’t make it home, one slept in her office and another in a restaurant booth. Both were relatively near me, so I went out the next AM after the dust had settled to pick them up. I have AWD and a clue on driving on slick stuff. Though the cars were mostly off the roads by then, there was still a lot of ice, which is another aspect of Atlanta “snow” events. Typically our snow comes with a lot of ice. Bad for driving, bad for power lines (we have a lot of trees, trees ice and take them out). In any case, they were glad to have me show up with hot lattes and haul them to the house for breakfast.
