I have been in education for 31 years. Today's students are among the brightest I have ever seen.

What exactly will happen due to climate change is open for discussion, but its existence as fact is not. Always side with the facts. If politicians actually did this, we'd be a much happier world. But I think we should all take this to the climate section, or feel the wrath of the moderators. TBH, it doesn't belong here. Slow weather week.We are all bored with it, I get that.

Facts are not debatable. I studied history as an undergrad. We had our share of deniers there too. One does not debate with them.
-
You give us hope, old friend; helps us through the tough times....
-
Enlighten us.
-
As one trained in the social sciences I find it very sad, because science is not liberal or conservative. Ecological issues should not be a matter of wedge issue politics, it's bad for all of us.
-
Thank you. Facts, in the words of John Adams, are stubborn things. You're at Fordham IIRC?
-
Denial is strongly linked to a tribal identity with a particular segment peculiar to the United States. There is no point in arguing with these folks. It is like trying to convince someone to convert to another religion.
-
Without us it does not happen so rapidly. Which means we have the ability to change it. But some people find that inconvenient.

You can make a lot more money spewing drivel if you take it from the energy cartel, way more than the paltry stipends real, peer reviewed scientists get. The Pentagon and the insurance industry sure don't think its a hoax, and those are some mighty serious people. The facts are true whether you believe them or not. If the doctor says you have a disease, you don't have to believe it. But it will not change the diagnosis.
-
Sorry, but I do not argue about established facts.
-
No, the writer says they can't be sure without more study. And that's the case. But I think we all suspect climate change has a lot to do with it. It would have been nice for the reporter to ask a few climatologists to weigh in. But they probably would have said the same thing, we can't know for sure etc. Still, you quote the experts....that's what I learned in journalism.

It was far from epic in my region.....
-
How about standing on a party boat offshore with frozen snot on your lip? With a stiff wind and being tossed up and down? Would that count?
-
And just west across the Hudson we struggled to hit 8, I think we had 6 locally.
-
Remember a documentary about a guy who got stuck there during a snowstorm years ago. Dude starved to death in his van. Apparently some roads get closed in the winter there. It was really sad, the guy wrote letters of farewell to everyone.
-
Not much to disagree with there, TBH.
-
After doing a little research, I found AZ fishing does leave something to be desired. Not bad, but not a retired angler's paradise either.
-
I think he means south of Flagstaff? Too lazy to check.
-
Yeah but they get more regular 8-10 events than we typically see. You really need to be prepared for snow in those regions.
-
Not interested in being that far from the coast. I like my saltwater fishing too. So that leaves the west coast, and that ain't cheap. So it's the south. But it seems like a nice place, I've looked at it before.

Probably not affordable for a retired public employee and a wife with no pension and minimal 401k savings
-
NYC did manage a Feb record though....

Ice on the wings, the ultimate disaster in DC in 1982... -
All the storms missed my area to some extent that year, but even the "misses" left me with 8-12...with the exception of that one.
