I was driving south on I-65 in Alabama on Monday and couldn't believe the number of people using that route to evacuate. That's a long way away from the east coast and the separation between cities with hotels is pretty big.
Well it's Alabama so I don't expect the people there are intelligent enough to make an informed decision ...
They weren't people from Alabama evacuating but others using the primary north/south interstate. I assume that I-95 and I-75 were both overly congested. If I were them, I would've stayed on I-10 heading west. There are a lot more options on that route.
So, as usual... the global warming acolytes can't ever think of anything beneficial from warming temps. Only bad things are possible. BAU.
Canadian oranges
Sunscreen manufacturer stock price
Year-round bikinis and sundresses
US farming will end up moving to Canada.
So, that'll be good for Canada. It'll destroy any agriculture in TX, OK, KS, MO, CO.
That's not "ridiculous"; that's what'll happen if we see 5-6+°F changes in temperatures in those regions. That's what 1.5°C global increase in temperatures means for land temps (+3°C land temps)
Those are fairly locked in numbers at this point.

Do you think it's possible you are wrong about your position on climate change?
Those are averages. It still will get hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I simply do not believe a few more "hot" days than average will have all these gloom and doom consequences.
Well, if YOU don't believe it that settles it. Close all the universities!
If the universities are teaching that it'll be too hot to grow anything in Colorado, then yes, they should probably close their doors.

Yes, and on average, it'll be 5-6°F hotter.
That means a "normal high" of 95°F will be a "normal high" of 101°F.
A "record high" of 101°F will likely become a "record high" of 107°F.
Crops will no longer grow well if average summer temperatures start regularly exceeding 100°F. Croplands will need to shift to zones where the temps stay in the 80s and 90s, presuming those regions can get the regular rainfalls we've relied on in our existing zones for the past couple hundred years.
We already know the 100th Meridian of moderately arable land/dry steppe has shifted from central NE to the edge of Iowa (about 100 miles). That will continue. That area of NE doesn't produce as well as Western Iowa, but that is what is now happening.

In another few decades, Des Moines, IA is going to look like Grand Island NE for its ability to grow crops. Anyone familiar with those areas knows that is not a good thing.

Levi from Tropical Tidbits says that landfall in North Carolina is a certainty, and it could happen in South Carolina, too. Even if the eye doesn't officially come on shore, everyone at the coast will experience hurricane conditions.

All over. Mostly out in the county where there a power lines. Here in MB and at ANYC's pad the power lines are buried so we are doing good. Still expecting it to go out this afternoon when we get the big winds
Do you have a way to keep posting after the power goes out? I'd like to hear your updates.
I have three labtops, two phones and an ipad 2 that works in france. I have three different internet source not including the wifi in my home if power goes out. My car has a regular 110AV outlet as well. I think i should be good
