brenthutch 388 #131 March 15, 2017 Nothing new about any of that, especially when taken in a military context. Paragraph one of an operations order (OPORD): "Situation: Provides information essential to subordinate leader's understanding of the situation. A. Enemy Forces 1. Weather and light data general forecast for the length of the operation: temperature (high & low), sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, moon phase, % illumination, wind speed, wind direction, BMNT, EENT." Notice how weather is top-line under "Enemy Forces"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By summertime he'll be mocking people who post about how warm it is and connect that to climate change. He has "flexible" standards for such things.

Climate change drives thirsty koalas to special water stations http://www.reuters.com/video/2017/03/15/climate-change-drives-thirsty-koalas-to?videoId=371303086&videoChannel=118169 "Seventeen congressional Republicans signed a resolution on Wednesday vowing to seek "economically viable" ways to stave off global warming, challenging the stated views of President Donald Trump, who has called climate change a hoax. Republicans Elise Stefanik of New York, Carlos Curbelo of Florida and Ryan Costello of Pennsylvania introduced the legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives, pledging to "study and address the causes and effects of measured changes to our global and regional climates" and seek ways to "balance human activities" that contribute. Several Republicans who signed the resolution, which is non-binding, represent parts of the country most affected. Curbelo hails from Miami, where streets regularly flood at high tide due to rising sea levels. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-climatechange-congress-idUSKBN16M235 What's happening in Australia is part of a global trend. Over the last year, about 12 percent of the world's reefs have bleached, due to El Niño and climate change. Scientists have predicted that nearly half of these reefs (more than 4,600 square miles or 12,000 square kilometers, or more than five percent of reefs) could disappear forever. That warming trend is expected to continue through the year, leading to what may be the longest global coral bleaching event in history. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/03/160321-coral-bleaching-great-barrier-reef-climate-change/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's an email from an Arctic researcher that says "better get this data out there, because it's pretty alarming." See? He's an admitted alarmist, so he must have lied! Tuesday: OK so maybe there's less ice. But that's NATURAL. We were once all under 500 feet of ice; aren't you glad it all melted? Or do you want to be dead and buried in ice? Wednesday: OK so maybe it's not natural. Fine, Einstein. But this is all good. Think of the shorter shipping routes and all the new water fish have to swim in! I thought you liked nature.

brenthutch 388 #144 March 15, 2017 With regard to "Trumpcare" the R's should try and fail to repeal/replace/improve Obamacare, tell their base that they did their best but those rascally Dems would not cooperate. That puts the hot potato back into the laps of Schumer and company. Obamacare continues to collapse and Dems will retain ownership. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be more concerned about the melting glaciers, since they actually do affect sea level. From your article "In November, sea ice in the Arctic and Antarctic was at record low levels for this time of year due to climate change. The more the ice melts, the higher global sea levels will rise." As we all (should) know, sea ice has no impact on sea levels. Knowing your scientific world view is informed by CNN explains a lot. I suppose you subscribe to USA Today as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
