Climate Change 3: Whatever you do don't call it a twatwaffle

They think she’s going to pop out during halftime show wearing a Biden shirt. And that Roger is helping orchestrate

She’s crashed some voter reg sites after she tells her followers to vote. That is no bueno for the orcs
 
That said, it is pretty ironic that the far-right is foaming at the mouth over a blonde, blue-eyed singer from Pennsylvania who is dating a white, chiseled football player from Ohio. But no, he got the jab and she told young liberals to vote, so they may as well be traitors.

It's similar to the hilarity of the white genocide conspiracy. Actual genocide is when Hitler & Co. killed 6-10 million people, or the Turks force-marched 1M+ Armenians through the desert. White "genocide" is apparently when a white man is turned on by some shapely Latina booty, lmao.
 
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Did this get misfiled (by Fox), or is Swift a climate activist?

Yeah this is more than El Ni?o...

No it's not. I'd we start having regular annual occurrences of nearly 60 in December and January, sure. But you're doing the same thing the righties do in conflating weather to climate change.

Minnesota is in the middle of a winterless hole if you look at a map of snow and temps.
 
I was at the U for a similar one in 1998. It was nothing like this. By February we weren't feeling like it was Fall anymore. January was great that year but February sucked hard IIRC. I lived on Saint Paul Campus waiting for the Connector was no fun...

Obviously El Nino is causing this but it is definitely being exasperated by something else. We are talking temps 20-30 degrees above the average (and not just anecdotally it is rather constant right now) and way above what normal El Ninos are if the DNR is to be believed. Not to mention even for a strong El Nino we are way below snow fall expectations. In Crystal we have 0 snow on the ground (tends to happen in 60 degree weather) and have not had a snowfall of even 1.5 inches. El Ninos do usually have less snow fall but not this much.

Climate Change is definitely playing a part in this.
 
the weather is the weather.

climate change is happening. It's making things warmer. El Niño years are like this. El Niño has different flavors and different strengths. The climate scientists said this would be a bad year for El Niño. A really bad year. It's made worse by climate change.

But climate change is responsible for the slope of the average increase over years and decades. While it obviously contributed, it's not what caused this to be a year like this. That's El niño
 
This is fine.

For more than 50 years, the National Hurricane Center has used the Saffir-Simpson Windscale to communicate the risk of property damage; it labels a hurricane on a scale from Category 1 (wind speeds between 74 -- 95 mph) to Category 5 (wind speeds of 158 mph or greater).

But as increasing ocean temperatures contribute to ever more intense and destructive hurricanes, climate scientists Michael Wehner of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and James Kossin of the First Street Foundation wondered whether the open-ended Category 5 is sufficient to communicate the risk of hurricane damage in a warming climate. So they investigated and detailed their extensive research in a new article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), where they also introduce a hypothetical Category 6 to the Saffir-Simpson Wind Scale, which would encompass storms with wind speeds greater than 192 mph.

"Our motivation is to reconsider how the open-endedness of the Saffir-Simpson Scale can lead to underestimation of risk, and, in particular, how this underestimation becomes increasingly problematic in a warming world," said Wehner, who has spent his career studying the behavior of extreme weather events in a changing climate and to what extent human influence has contributed to individual events.

According to Wehner, anthropogenic global warming has significantly increased surface ocean and tropospheric air temperatures in regions where hurricanes, tropical cyclones, and typhoons form and propagate, providing additional heat energy for storm intensification. When the team performed a historical data analysis of hurricanes from 1980 to 2021, they found five storms that would have been classified as Category 6, and all of them occurred in the last nine years of record.

One year ago, Grand Rapids was hit by an ice storm.

Today, high 50s and a slight breeze.

And 55 in February is kinda scary.

57 was the high on Thursday in Grand Rapids, not even top 3 warmest for the calendar day, and a full 10 degrees below the record set in 1930.
