Your Weather, Our Weather (2 Viewers)

Since June we (East Texas) have been running mid 90s to low 100sF (32-40C) with with hear indexes about 110F, lows of 85F (29C) at night. A high pressure dome of heat parked over the Central US bringing no rain (at least to Texas) for several weeks and high temps. Comparing F to C. I prefer the spread of F over C, but consider I grew up with F. A recent trip to Corpus Christi we saw large large fields of immature brown/dead corn.
An alarming report is that the Oceans are turning green (more plant matter growing) due to the rise of temps, sharks are reported as dying. Another report said that El Niño usually causes a reduction of Atlantic hurricane activity, but with oceans heating up, that may change.

I never thought I would be living in such a transitional period for the Earth. We have been warned for 40 years, yet as a species, we just blunder along until we are smacked upside the head.

It wasn't just "handed" to her. She campaigned alongside Biden during the primaries. Yoru facts are as always screwed.

But she wasn't on top the ticket. I know the facts and so do you. I am not misrepresenting anything.

Pretty sure you are not someone that I will continue to engage with. You don't come in good faith.

Now, THAT was funny coming from you.

I agree it would give her a starting advantage, but it would not have been handed to her as it was handed to Joe. And furthermore, she would have been a better candidate if she went through the process. Her campaign was so short lived in 2020 she had no campaign experience and was crushed by the weight of the moment.

She actively campaigned for Biden in 2020. She knew enough about that kind of campaign. She was not crushed by the weight of the moment. That being said I would have handled things differently because things have changed. Legacy media provides oral ministrations to Trump on a regular basis. Media as a whole has fractured into hundreds if not thousands of self-described media on social media including podcasts.

The media truly is the enemy of the people. Just not the way Cheato whines about

Nice whataboutism. When pulling a lever for the next candidate to represent the party, do you think anyone will be thinking of Donald Trump? He won't be on the ballot? The video that was posted on Newsom will hinder him from getting the (D) nomination, by showing him cracking under pressure from a "karen", much less a world leader.

Though we know that doesn't matter. 2 of the last 3 candidates on the left didn't win the primary. I guess he can always count on that.

Oh,,, what do you mean, Kamala Harris will be the next nominee.

The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) has placed onerous new restrictions on its scientists that people within the agency say could hamper the quality and availability of the world’s weather forecasts, among other key services.

The new requirements have created a sense of unease within the agency, according to current and former high-level Noaascientists and officials the Guardian spoke with, and alarmed partners at European agencies.

“My expectation is that it’s going to be a crackdown on climate,” said a senior Noaa scientist. “People are just somewhere between disturbed and terrified.”

Last week Noaa’s office of research sent a message to all staff saying that “effective immediately”, the agency’s headquarters will implement a new layer of oversight over its scientists’ email and “virtual meetings” with foreign nationals.

The new restrictions also require all Noaa employees and affiliates to document “all international engagements” in an internal spreadsheet for approval by a Trump political appointee on a case-by-case basis.

“We haven’t stopped anything yet,” the scientist said, but “it’s a crazy amount of stuff to do. Working internationally is so routine, it’s just hardly thought of.”

“It’s a difficult time to be a federal employee right now,” said the scientist, who did not want to be named.

The Noaa directive did not outright bar its scientists from continuing ongoing international collaboration, but the additional administrative burden appears to be especially onerous for the National Weather Service (NWS) – the division of Noaa that underpins all weather forecasting in the US and provides a constant stream of data on the atmosphere and oceans to the world for free as a public good.

A climate scientist at the EU’s Copernicus agency, who did not wish to be named, said he was “appalled and saddened” when he heard the news last week. “The climate crisis knows no boundaries, and halting international scientific collaboration can only undermine our ability to understand and combat it.”

Staff within Noaa are also preparing for further budgetary and staffing cuts which would place further strain on the agency. According to reporting from CBS, “current employees have been told to expect a 50% reduction in staff and budget cuts of 30%”.………
