@jonathanvswan We're a better folk with you among us...but still miles to go before we sleep. Keep up your important work

@TuckerCarlson Garbage in, garbage out. Deja vu.

[Bud Ward @bud_ward]

@TerryWardWriter How about in Virginia, on the Northern Neck, where the lodging might even be, would even be, free?

[Bud Ward @bud_ward]

@bhensonweather @CC_Yale @sarapeach Thanks, Bob. The feelings are mutual...and multiple.

As Andrea Bocelli and Sara Brightman have said it, 'time to say goodbye': @CC_Yale

@GlobalEcoGuy moving to Mastodon, curious and unsure how it will work out.

[Bud Ward @bud_ward]

I've done my first Substack post, about my imminent retirement. Not sure how this will work out.

@JillWineBanks @BeschlossDC I turned 18 that day, a high school sr. and in study hall in Philly suburb. Sat w/ classmates, but we were ignored by young teacher we usually chatted-up, but ignoring us. I was delegated to go back to her, ask why. She told me of JFK shooting not yet dead. I told classmates.

An increasingly vital question: Whether to remain on the new Twitter. And if so, how? Life without twitter appears increasingly attractive, doesn't it?

Last year, it was Hurricane Ida interrupting Mississippi River barge traffic for weeks. This year, it's low water levels from drought. Climate change-amplified extreme weather is a major danger to key trade chokepoints like the Mississippi River. https://t.co/Rs6uQbRpVb

Last week the U.S. Drought Monitor reported the highest fraction of abnormal dryness/drought (81.78% of the contiguous U.S.) in the monitor's 23-year history.
This week the record was toppled again, with 82.23%.

This update from @DrJeffMasters , Weather Underground and Yale Climate Connecions regular contributor @CC_Yale https://t.co/qJpSiEO4vu No major storm activity in tropical Atlantic appears likely for at least the next week.

[Jeff Masters @DrJeffMasters]

We have tropical cyclone threats near Mexico's Pacific coast, in the Indian Ocean by Bangladesh, and to the east of the Philippines. Thankfully, nothing is brewing in the Atlantic. Bob Henson and I cover all this in our Friday afternoon post: https://t.co/x98ncxAP1Y

Yale Climate Connections meteorologists @DrJeffMasters and @bhenson offer powerful insights about climate risks to Puerto Rico.

[Jeff Masters @DrJeffMasters]

https://t.co/BGxAjcXLM9 reports that 2/3 of Puerto Rico's customers are still without power after Hurricane Fiona. Unfortunately, the island is likely to see in increase in intense hurricane rain events like Fiona because of a warming climate: https://t.co/nOESlVIkgi

Studying hurricanes at sea to save lives onshore -- we're looking at YOU #Fiona and #AtlanticCanada. Saildrones at work on Fiona. @CC_Yale https://t.co/BGwhrR5Bc0

If one of U.S.'s most widely quoted #ClimateCrisis scientists is still hopeful and optimistic -- @MichaelEMann -- you should be too. Just keep focusing on 'solutions' to the climate challenges. @CC_Yale https://t.co/XAYORDKURN

Thursday's tropical roundup: It's all about the Atlantic! We cover #Fiona, 98L, Gaston, 99L, and 90L. https://t.co/fLF0zYGoH2

[Bud Ward @bud_ward]

Guess who's taking the money hit for climate damages. Most often, it's local city governments. Take Ohio's capital #Columbus. One example among many. @CC_Yale https://t.co/5oPpXL8SbG

[Bob Henson @bhensonweather]

The numbers are in: Our planet's human-warmed climate assaulted the Northern Hemisphere with widespread record heat in summer 2022. @CC_Yale
