Pretty disappointing model changes today, although the EPS keeps the PNA negative so there is still a lot of room for it go cooler again.

Mariners really needed that win.

Ya gonna have some boomers. Heat and humidity looks to be the theme this summer.

You don't have to be on the CO2 crazy train to know it's warming the climate. I believe in human caused global warming while simultaneously thinking that the dooms day scenarios are nonsense. I also think it's not worth implementing carbon taxes (etc) as the alternative technologies will naturally take over with time. You can create a vacuum and put a CO2 molecule in it, then shine infrared light on it of the same wavelength emitted by earth and it will absorb it and emit some of it back downwards. The same thing that happens with clouds at night or a blanket on a person. Yes there is debate on the feedbacks, but the basic science is so well established it really is denial to say CO2 doesn't cause warming. But go from there. Does that warming mean the ice sheets melt faster? Probably, but not for sure. Does the melting ice sheet mean it's going to snow more in the arctic, even less sure. Does snowing more in the arctic cause the jet to be wavier? Definitely don't know that. Do you see the point? CO2 causes warming, but as you get removed from that it becomes muddier.

Yesterday it hit 100 here with dews in the 70s and everything green for the most part. When I was growing up the air had to be dry and very little moisture in the ground to get temps 100 or above, now it does it and makes it look easy. It's still just June.
