On Tuesday, Weatherbell.com started covering the threat of flooding in New Orleans, and it's a very real threat. But a storm like this, assuming it makes landfall as far west as we think it will, would not contain the same kind of threat if not for some preexisting conditions that occurred in the winter and spring.
Why is the same age group that helped to tear down the Iron Curtain now advocating for policies that would reduce freedoms?
When it comes to crop conditions, God has certainly shed His grace on thee.
Apparently, the new strategy to fight climate change is shock therapy. It's like today's environmental crusaders are channeling the Ramones song "Gimme Gimme Shock Treatment." Here are some illustrations.
There has been little change in temperatures over the last few decades in the areas from which migrant caravans are originating.
The flooding disaster that has enveloped parts of the Great Plains, centered in Nebraska, is quite likely going to be the biggest weather event of the year.
This is the third part of a trilogy intended to get readers to examine more deeply the climate debate.
I have long advocated that climatologists take a course on long-range forecasting so they can better understand the inherent errors in trying to predict the weather or climate. In the debate over the fate of the planet, where one side is always pushing hysteria, the weather is plainly not cooperating with the missive.
I went to school with a lot of great forecasters. One of them was Scott Chesner, who is an on-air meteorologist in Tyler, Texas. Scott tweeted something this week that I thought was quite profound regarding the current generation's "consensus" on climate.
Complacency, comfort, and reliance can breed a false sense of security. That is nature's rule. Why do you think game wardens do not like people feeding wild animals? Because they become dependent on food being handed to them and lose the skills natural to them to make them stronger and better. Because man has become so smart, perhaps we lose sight of this sometimes. We need challenges. Here's a simple way to put it: Unto all good there must be opposition.
When we at Weatherbell.com put out our preseason forecast in August, we outlined several factors that would contribute to a winter that could produce extremes of cold and snow in the U.S. and Europe,
This may seem revolutionary given all the emphasis put on CO2 as the so-called "climate control knob."
H.L. Mencken was way ahead of his time in detecting what was (and certainly is) going on with government and society. He was especially prescient in regards to the man-made global warming agenda.
Well, this headline from The Daily Caller is interesting: "Democrats Will Hold A Series Of Hearings On Global Warming Once They Take Power."
In my opinion, September provides interesting clues as to why the planet is warming, and to me, all roads lead to water vapor being the culprit. The arguments branch out, of course, but think about the oceans. They are slow to change, right? Well, what happens when you add more water vapor to the air? Does it not stand to reason it would have some lag effect on the seasons?
The explanations in the wake of hurricanes have gotten so strange. There is now disagreement not only on why they happen but what actually happened. So I have a few post-Hurricane Michael comments to make.
Tropical cyclones are Nature's way of taking the heat out of the tropics and redistributing it into the temperate regions.
A hurricane will hit the Florida Panhandle this week, as predicted before the season started.
The weakening of Hurricane Florence has got me thinking again about seeding strong hurricanes as they approach the U.S. coast.
