As I alluded to last night, this is also going to impact essential public services. Health is important and we need to find the right balance but you don’t have a society without a functioning economy. NY is a lot better off than antiscience states like Florida, which is getting screwed over on both fronts....from the pandemic and from sea level rise. Within a few decades I wouldn't be surprised if Miami no longer exists, even if they continue their water pumping practices-- they cant keep up with sea level rise. I expect a big population rise for Orlando, people are already talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, it's likely to be pretty miserable for several decades minimum. The economy will never truly recover either but we need to pick up whatever pieces we can and try to go forward before it turns into a true banana republic. in the long term it will likely be a positive (for the entire planet.) I expect a fully sustainable green planet within 2 decades and universal healthcare, with the people of the future looking back and mocking people who didn't have the foresight to do it sooner. Looks like Darwin and Nature are in the process of taking care of them. On another topic that class action bayer/monsanto lost, people think that giving up 10 billion dollars is a lot, but it isn't, it gets divided among 100,000 people who got cancer from round up, so it's only 100,000 per person and thats before the govt takes its cut....it should have been 100 billion which is the price for which bayer paid to buy monsanto, at least the cancer victims would have gotten 1 million each before govt took its cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The history of humanity is that it is very late in making necessary changes and that has dire consequences. Either we make the changes or nature will make the changes for us, and her way will be MUCH harsher. On the positive side, the greatest reforms often happen after pandemics and other great tragedies like this....and this wont be any different.

China is a cesspool of pollution and corruption. I have good examples of how a government should work- like New Zealand, Norway, Finland, and a few others. What they all have in common is no dirty money in politics and swift responses to emergencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stack is just to the NW of the radome. I can remember noticing it when I did the NWS office tour a while back. Be interesting to see if the removal is still on track for this summer.

What is that narrow band that doesn’t show any snow? It pops up a lot, and since my home is in the gap (westport CT), I get innacurate forecasts. Just curious what is happening. Thanks! 1 NWS New York NY @NWSNewYorkNY · Dec 9, 2017 It's beam blockage. There's a building or structure close enough to the radar, that a portion of the radar beam is blocked, leading to what seems like light or no precipitation near the surface. If you look at higher tilts (higher elevation angles) however, the blockage goes away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
