Silver Meteor

Seems most everything you espouse comes straight from the World Economic Forum. I hope you're not so naive as to believe any of those globalists give a rat's ass about you or the billions of other "peasants" across this planet (or even the planet itself.) They want money and power, everything else is a side show. Putting the planet under the control of a bunch of central planners "who know what's best for us" is not the solution unless your target is a dystopian future where humans become effectively slaves or robots. ("You will own nothing and you will be happy.") Free market capitalism is the best mechanism for advancement humanity has ever devised. Unfortunately it's been under attack since the 1960s with misguided policies and ever increasing government control over every aspect of life (regulations reaching the point of fascism - crushing the individual and small business.) Note too, the "thought police" are already here. Been here for a long time actually (it started carefully with the invention of the "hate crime.")

No confirmation bias in this group, no sir. LOL

"...restoring faith in government." LOL Did someone just fall off the turnip truck? When money was real (gold and silver) perhaps, but those days are long gone. The government and its propaganda arm, the media, are enemies of the people. With a "Fourth Turning" now well underway, climate concerns will fade away as the pendulum swings from globalization to decentralization. Food and energy concerns will be tantamount, and this across all continents. The storm clouds have arrived, delivered by our government and those who pull its strings. The rest of us are mere peons.

Same here as a teen in Washington D.C. back in the 1960s. The number was WE-6-1212. (Called it so many times I can never forget it, lol.)

Did I say anything about guidance? No. I said I've seen many Lows pass by this coastline and this one is much farther out than normal. Much farther out. A simple, basic fact. (And your response is an example of why I almost never post on this website.) If the 850 pulls it back in, great, I'm all for it ... but again I was only pointing out a peculiarity with the track at this latitude.

HRRR sure looks good. I hope the whole peninsula gets a window rattler and nice snow drifts. Was there for a blizzard once (early '90s?) and know how wild it can get on that coast.

Hello from eastern N.C. I've seen a lot of Lows pass by down here but this one is waaaaaay offshore. Heck, it's running off the screen. I've a feeling this storm isn't going to pound the Mid-Atlantic coast with as much snow as people are thinking ... unless a team of wild horses pulls it back in.

Hello, I've a question for you. If Kuchera snow totals are misleading, why are they so often posted? I notice the "regular" snow totals are always noticeably less.

Where's the precipitation? Such a dinky little storm.

What a frick'n mess. Let's face it, that is butt ugly.

Same here in Greenville, NC. Rates have been and remain pathetic ... after 10pm now and can't imagine how we're going to reach our forecast of 3-5". Nope, ain't gonna happen.

Psychology: Many people think by demeaning others it raises themselves. It doesn't.

Ah, good old Fenwick. Many family vacations there in the 1950s and '60s. The 2-lane coastal highway was the only paved road (other than the Rt. 54 access of course.) The beach towns were fantastic before the population explosion.

This place isn't for scientific debate, it's a cult. Talk about feedback loops, good grief, look at yourselves. No wonder so many have left. Enjoy yourselves.

As an avid reader with decades of experience in the stock and commodities markets I can comfortably say the typical citizen who touts wind and solar is economically illiterate. As I said here some time ago, nuclear is the future. This is obvious. So obvious I even recommended buying stock in uranium miners (advice that already would have earned you a hefty return with much more to come in the years ahead.) The #1 article on Quillette for 2019 is from a brilliant science journalist about renewables. Get ready for some cognitive dissonance: https://quillette.com/2019/02/27/why-renewables-cant-save-the-planet/

If you tally it up a little over $400B (less waste, fraud and abuse) goes to physical infrastructure. Where's the rest going? At 2,300+ pages you can wager a body part that bill (like so many others) is highway robbery of the taxpayer. But then we've reached the point where as far as the government is concerned the taxpayer is not much relevant to its massive spending; effectively we already have MMT. Apparently there are grownups who believe money grows on trees, and that China will provide us with a free lunch forever. Silly people.

If the oceans warmed 30X more than all the energy produced by humans ... gee, might it be possible the warming is being caused by something other than humans? Ya think? While the World Economic Forum's narrative (a combination of Marxist and Fascist propaganda) gushes forth with the fury of a fire hose, financial opportunities should not be ignored. Gold of course as the world's currencies continue to be debased but also, silver and uranium. I entered the gold market at ~$1200/oz and the silver market at ~$14/oz. So far, so good. But only this year have I entered the uranium market (good so far.) The uses for silver are insanely numerous, from biocides, to water treatment, to of course electronics and energy. Production has been declining for five years as most of the planet's "easy silver" has already been mined. As this metal becomes more critical to human civilization, fortunes will be made in the years ahead. And speaking of the years ahead, the electrification of Africa and Asia (two continents where the middle classes are growing) will require a staggering amount of electricity. The obvious solution is nuclear power. Human civilization is not going to stop in fear of global warming, it will only advance as it always has. The "powers that be" (which now includes the corporate news media) will rape you as they always have throughout history unless you take advantage of their game. Gold and silver ... get physical while you can. Uranium is more difficult of course but you can own stock in the few companies that mine it. (I use ticker symbol UUUU.) Whatever you do, I wish you good luck and hope you don't worry yourself to death over what you can't control.

Currency debasement.

I've followed this website and its predecessors since the 1990s. I read the book "1984" in junior high school 1964. A semi-retired computer and financial analyst today I see most here as intellectual robots programmed by the wealthy global establishment. For ten years I've watched this group dumbing down just as the rest of society has.

Your discussion got me to thinking about sea level change ... which got me to thinking about all I've experienced (from the normal to the freak) on the Mid-Atlantic Coast over the past 66 years. The Delmarva coast was mostly empty in the '50s when I was a kid. Coastal Highway was a two-lane paved road while most side roads, usually only one block long, were dirt/sand. In Fenwick Island at the bottom of Delaware the post office was a small cubicle at the back of the general store. To reach civilization in either direction, Ocean City Maryland to the south or Bethany Beach to the north, one had to first traverse miles of wilderness. The beach was always the same, clean white sand with moderately high dunes that could easily protect the structures behind them. And then came the nor'easter of all nor'easters, the "Great Atlantic Coastal Storm of 1962." That storm leveled the sand dunes and took out most of the structures behind them. The oceanfront motel on my street was reduced to a set of pilings with only a few orange colored pieces of debris in the area that I could recognize as belonging to it. There hasn't been anything near that ferocity since. A monumental effort of man and machinery restored the dunes enough to at least resemble what they once were, and over the years the dirt/sand roads got paved, new houses were built, and new businesses arrived. The coast grew but the beach itself was still pretty much the same except ... it was shrinking a bit. Enough so that once every few years in early summer there appeared ships and barges out over the the deeper water and large pipes running back to the beach. That was the end of our white sandy beaches, diluted by a gazillion tons of offshore dredging. So now the beaches were being "stabilized" even if being turned as much into ugly brown dirt as white sand. But is this ocean encroachment anything unusual? One might think so unless one were to stand on the beach in winter to experience a blowout tide. Get the barometer rising fast with a strong northwest wind and you'll see the ocean literally retreat in front of your eyes. The now barren seafloor reveals much. With the water and sand swept out the ocean bottom unmasks itself to be gray colored peat. It's firm but you can grab chunks of it. Farther out you see tree stumps. Yes, tree stumps. A monster blowout tide on the Mid-Atlantic coast reveals the past. The remnants of a bygone cypress forest are sitting out there where the waves break but we don't see it because it's normally buried in sand. The beach then was obviously farther out. I don't know how many centuries old those stumps are but clearly the beach we know is only a moment in time. So, the ocean level is going to change one way or another given enough time. Will man-made global warming alter this? Perhaps so, but I wouldn't wager I've seen it yet, and rather doubt I ever will (given my age.) This could be a different story for those born today but I've a feeling they will have more than enough problems to deal with otherwise.

Good morning. Long time lurker here, one who prefers listening over talking but do of course appreciate the talkers without whom there would be no thread to begin with. Science has always been "in my blood." It started with my grade school years (1950s) in Maryland with a fascination in the shape of continents which suggested they surely must have moved over time. This idea was proved to be true years later when I was in high school. Also in high school we were taught the "Big Bang Theory" and the "Theory of Global Warming" neither of which were controversial at the time (I'd never heard of such a thing as "creationism", and it would be many years before AGW became politicized.) Over the ensuing decades I continued learning about and keeping up with science at my own pace, first from books then from the internet as it developed. Watching in real time the continuous fine tuning in a variety of subjects as these many years have passed has helped keep my interest alive and healthy. So, what about climate? Oh dear, where does one begin... To avoid dragging this out I'll just say I remain comfortable with my paradigms, none of which are "catastrophic." The best empirical evidence I see for AGW is clearly that which is occurring in the Arctic. Meanwhile, down here in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. the only change of note over the last 60+ years has been our tremendous population growth with its accompanying water pollution and its greatly expanded road networks and heat islands. Overall, I accept AGW but to suggest this is our greatest problem for the future, is, in my opinion, utter nonsense; this reeks of political expedience for the financial gain of a few without regard to the many serious non-climate problems lying in wait, problems our media is loathe to discuss. Moreover it implies technology will not progress, a ludicrous proposition. The good, the bad, and the ugly... The good will be technological improvements with power generation; I see little reason to doubt fusion power plants will be up and running before mid-century. The bad is an historical analysis of currencies that suggests our fiat dollar will not survive to mid-Century (perhaps or even probably not even to 2040.) And the ugly is multicultural demographics which will lead to a Balkanization of the U.S., also before mid-Century (likely to coincide with the economic earthquake of currency collapse.) All of this I'm sure appears fanciful to those who don't study such subjects and believe "tomorrow will always be like yesterday and today", but for them history always provides the rudest of awakenings. However much climate change we see before the widespread use of fusion power will pale in comparison to the socio-political changes that will have staggering effects in the coming decades. I won't be around to see it but eventually the dust will settle and mankind will march forward, wiser and safer into a bright 22nd Century (where technology will be fantastically more advanced than it is today.) What I will do is all I can do, and that is to continue watching, learning, and enjoying science as I always have. To the rest of you, good luck and keep up the good work!
