U.S. Greenhouse Emissions Continuing to Decline
We don't need no Paris agreements; thanks to fracking our emissions are actually going down.
Hilary's Forecast Path Shifts West; Updated 9:20am PDT
The forecast path of the center of Hilary has shifted a bit to the west. This increases the threat to the Southland, especially in terms of flooding. Rainfall Note the heavy rains are forecast for Los Angeles County. Serious flash flooding may result. Because the forecast path has shifted to the west, that increases the threat of serious flooding in Los Angeles County north into Yosemite and the southern Sierra. It lessens the threat in Utah and western Arizona. While the threat of widespread flooding in Utah and Arizona lessens, note that some thunderstorms with localized heavy rain show up on the map. In Nevada, the more western path increases the risk of serious flooding around Mt Charleston and into the central part of the state. Here is the updated (9am PDT) flash flood risk map. Wind There are already about 40,000 people without power in California, mostly in the center of the state. The maps above are the peak gusts forecasted with the storm. The highest winds, in general,
My comment on the linked article:
ReplyDelete"Climate change is a monumental problem ..." and the explicit link to CO2 emissions is to overlook the absolutely fundamental positive role of CO2 in life on this planet. Only now recovering from near-catastrophically low levels in recent ice ages, the increase in CO2 levels is measurably boosting crop yields around the globe. "Global greening" is an established fact, and we have higher CO2 levels to thank.
CO2 is not a pollutant .... It is the stuff of life.
