Thanks for your well informed news roundup tonight. An early night for you and me here in Oregon. We are seeing our first summer fires and fire activity growing with the high temperatures. I am wondering about flooding in Vermont and elsewhere in NE we only get snippets of it out here. A good reminder that change like weather is about what is happening locally.

I have a decades long friend in Vermnot who reports heavy rains with more on the way. In Montepelier, the Capitol the streets are flooded & VT Governor warns of more on the way. Southern Texas, (all my X's roast in Texas) New Mexico, Arizona & SoCal are experiencing extreme heat. SoCal peaks this Weekend.

The first El Nino since 2019 may generate upper level eastern winds from the Pacific into the Gulf which could act as a counteracting force to cyclonic lows.

Make sure a "pressure drop doesn't f…

Yes, it’s long past time for elected official climate change deniers to shut up and for our tax dollars to continue to fund policies and fast track new solutions to mitigate and possibly reduce losses. And subsidize insurance. The flooding and storms, fires and extreme drought and heat are continuing to cost individual homeowners and residents. In my Northern California mountain community we routinely experience fires up hill and we are all paying steep prices for mandatory insurance and inspec…

Is it too late? is not a useful question, I think. We are here, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in dire circumstances. That alone should motivate us without all the angst over the ultimate fate of our planet. For all the good President Biden has done, and it's quite impressive, giving Joe Manchin's pipeline and the Alaskan project the green light are on the other side of the scales. I'm in New York City where the air is only supposed to be dangerous to children, the elderly and th…

progwoman, IMHO in the big picture we (all humans/gov’ts/nations) need to be thinking about where/how humanity will live/survive. It has been rolling out for awhile, but is now getting on the Tee-Vee & folks are finally starting to take it as seriously as it is, tho’ some still resist. Likely we will be looking increasingly at climate “refugees” w/in and from w/out (further increasing immigration tensions) our country (will affect countries worldwide)—it has already started, but like that prove…

Yes, I think what we can't conceive is that WE might be in need of migration, and a lot of people aren't paying attention. Miami, Phoenix and Las Vegas are the three top destinations for people leaving the East and cold climates.And just this week, we learned that you might not be safe from huge floods in Vermont or tornadoes in Chicago. Colorado friends fled their home of many years minutes before it went up in flames and down to the water main. I want to recommend a book that has helped me ea…

I am in an area that folks will likely be drawn to. It is currently rural, with a low population county-wide, but that will probably change. We have forests that can, and have fiercely burned to the east of me, but we also have the moderating coastal influence—fog!—that keeps the fire danger, for present, at bay closer to the coast. Wild fires happen here, but they’re not as intense, except in the mountains to the east—they have been “toasted” by a number of fires in recent years. I’ve already …
