Image
5pm CST Tuesday Forecast Radar There will be areas of dense fog in the Northwest in addition to the rain. Otherwise, things are extremely quiet. 5pm CST Wednesday Forecast Radar The quiet weather will continue one more day. But, then things will begin to get interesting. I will begin coverage Tuesday afternoon. 

What Is the Deal With Global Warming Zealots and Giant Yachts?

Image
Their Words: Their Actions: Gore's "Climate Envoy" John Kerry's Today, Germany announced it is cutting back on meat production to fight global warming.  And, we are supposed to eat bugs per Big Climate.  While they fly around on private jets and live like kings, their decisions to switch to windmills for power has resulted in inadequate energy supplies in Europe and parts of the USA. As Glenn Reynolds says,  I'll believe global warming is a crisis when the people telling me it's a crisis start acting like it's a crisis.  Judging by their behavior, we have nothing to worry about! Big Climate is about graft ; not about making the world a better place!

Storm Warnings: One of the Issues With Wind Farms

Image
As wind farms continue to grow, meteorologists lose our ability to see storms in more and more areas. This is the Vance AFB radar during last Monday afternoon's snow. Where you see black, that is the ground clutter system attempting to deal with regular ground cutter and wind farms. The latter is nearly impossible to deal with.  And, yes, if it was an approaching tornado, we would not be able to see it. 

Forecast for Pre-Thanksgiving Travel

Image
Current Forecasts There are two areas of adverse weather occurring right now. Northwest Gray is dense fog advisories. The green within the gray is a warning for freezing fog, which can be a major hazard for drivers.  Great Lakes Green, in this case, is snow squall warnings. We've all seen the photos from the Buffalo area. Similar conditions, but not as intense, are forecast to occur in these areas. Purples are winter weather advisories which are a less serious condition.  The weather is going to be remarkably good for pre-Thanksgiving travel Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday Below is the weather map for 6pm CST. The only airports with any significant potential for delays are Seattle and Miami/Ft. Lauderdale.  Here are the forecasted temperatures for 6pm.  Wednesday Nothing much forecast to occur on Wednesday. The only chance of airline delays due to weather isin Florida.  The 6pm Wednesday map of temperatures shows nothing in the way of deviations from average. Bel...

Why Do You Think Biden Wanted 87,000 Additional IRS Agents?!

Image
From Instapundit : DEMS PREPARE IRS TO CRUSH EVANGELICALS: Buried in the laughably titled “Respect for Marriage Act” now before the Senate are  provisions authorizing  the IRS to jerk tax-exemption from any church or non-profit social service agency that refuses to support the LGBQT agenda regarding marriage. What will come in the months following enactment will be a swarm of gay couples demanding that evangelical pastors perform wedding ceremonies that many of them will refuse, as a matter of faith, to do. There will similarly be gay couples demanding that religious-based adoption agencies that only match orphans with intact heterosexual couples abandon their beliefs. In other words, the full force of the federal government is being prepared for the assault on tax-exempt churches and church-related social service agencies that liberals have dreamed of ever since Jimmy Carter failed effort in 1977 to do so woke up millions of evangelicals to their obligations as citizens ...

Global Warming: Hypocrites All

Image
With the recent COP27 meeting ended, the hypocrisy of the private jet flying, meat-eating, blowhards has never been greater. With Mrs. Obama running around giving advice on television and elsewhere the last two weeks, I thought these were pertinent: President Obama's Words President Obama's Actions ...the Obamas' vast real estate holdings: A 29-acre Martha's Vineyard estate they bought for $11.75 million, a D.C. home worth $8.1 million, their pre-presidential home in Chicago, and the $8.7 million Hawaii property, the former site of the Magnum, P.I. mansion, on which they are building a massive oceanfront compound with three single family homes, two pools — and oh yeah, an expanded seawall that for anyone else would have been denied, endangering as it will the beach itself.                Above from " Daily Mail ."

"World to End Tomorrow; Women and Minorities Most Affected!"

Image
The above is how, in 1988, comedian Mort Sahl said the New York Times  would headline the end of the world. That came to mind when I saw this headline from the Los Angeles Times. The headline is, of course, related to global warming. As the article says, The  study , which was published Monday [Halloween, naturally]  in the journal Nature Sustainability, does not predict when the next 100-year flood will occur. However, the paper is among the first to examine how whiplashing weather extremes due to climate change may impact the Los Angeles Basin — a region whose development was guided by deep social and racial divisions that favored white residents. In the Los Angeles Basin, researchers found that Black, Latino, and Asian residents were — respectively— 79%, 17%, and 11% more likely than white residents to be exposed to waist-high flooding. The projected storm simply does not and will not exist. There is no such thing as a storm that produces a uniform amount of rain ove...
