What do you know, two decent rain chances in the EPS now in the next 10 days.

We just have to be willing to step outside of the nonsense though. It doesn't have to all be fake just because some have an agenda. It took me a while to come around to that idea. We do have natural cycles, and we also have a background unnatural cycle. Which matters more? I'm not totally sure! True, it just sure seems like one way or another we will figure it out without destroying the economy if we are creating. I think the price of heat pumps and electric cars and solar panels (etc) will keep coming down so that it will be the smart thing to do for everyone soon enough. That will take care of a lot of the problem. Heck, maybe it will take Bill Gates spraying the upper atmosphere with reflective particles, but solutions are in the pipeline.

The models are figuring out that summer starts on July 5th.

Warming doesn't happen like this so fast, outside of coming out of a glacial period. Those glacial and interglacial periods are well established and studied. This is different. The earth's orbit is well studied and established and is not the cause of recent warming. To me, it's a very lazy argument to say the earth always goes through phases so this is just another one. Of course it does and over very long periods of time. I get frustrated when someone claims man can't cause climate changes (Even though we see it at a local level every day with the crops we plant, urban heat islands etc. Of course man affects the climate. There are 8 billion people pumping out CO2 unprecedented in Earth's history (outside natural causes of course). And the science backs that up. But people blame politicians because they've been indoctrinated to distrust reputable science for some reason. The politicians or the news aren't the one blaming man. It's the climate scientists. People have just been fooled (thanks to the million internet experts who "did their research" listening to some moron on youtube for clicks) into believing someone else is pushing it. They are just reporting it and doing their job. Al Gore did a great disservice to the people of America and the world when he said that doomsday was 20 years away. While his intention to bring the threat of Global Climate Change to the forefront, that was never the case then (at that current rate) and the backlash on scientists was real and understandable, even though they were not the ones saying that as a fact. But again, people still quote Al Gore as if he was even qualified to say that as an argument against it. Climate is not weather, so i don't blame every heat wave or snowstorm or rainstorm flooding on climate change. But I sure do listen to the experts when they say we can expect more extremes in the future. People look at weather and think a degree or 2 doesn't make a difference. Perhaps it doesn't when you go about your every day life. But to the oceans it matters a great deal. And as I stated above, the oceans are really all that matters. Humans got together and fixed or are in the process of fixing the ozone layer back to normal levels by 2045. Man caused that. Man fixed it. To say Man can't hurt the earth or even heal it is just simply not true. And it was fixed by "politics". But that was before the internet and countless misinformation.

Five sub-freezing days at SEA (and one 34). Only December stretches that beat that are 2008, 1990, and 1972.
