Climate Change (For Those That Respect Science)

[Steve81]

YMMV, of course. It's not for everyone.

For my fruit smoothies I add flax seed meal, and use sugar free fruit punch flavored liquid water enhancers to make it tasty. Comes out pretty good IMHO. Now that I’m more home-based, I’m just eating more deli meat, cheese, and nuts to round out the diet, with some veggies for good measure (gasp!).

This could go either way at the moment...If it heads towards land, oh boy.

Tropical Storm Lee forms, expected to become major hurricane. Is East Coast in danger?

Tropical Storm Lee formed in the Atlantic Ocean and is forecast to become a hurricane. Is the storm going to hit Florida? See spaghetti models.

It appears that the track - as of now - will most likely be through Nova Scotia. Just hoping it loses a lot of strength before it arrives.

Now looks even more likely that Lee will hit Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Maine on the weekend, but should be a post-tropical storm by then.

Just trying to figure out my ROI if I install 10K of solar and 1000 Amp Hours of battery.

Was on neighborhood stroll a few weeks ago. The development was without power and about every 3rd house had a generac or similar natural gas powered generator.

I thought for what one of those cost would make for a sizable down payment on a solar array, you get a 30% take break, you can sell the surplus.

My min / max so far this year was 400 and 1500 KwH.

It's been skewing back-and-forth a bit east and west over the last couple of days, but the track looks to be centred on southwest Nova Scotia now. Maine and New Brunswick can expect some effects, as well.

Wind picked up early this morning. Lost power for about 90 minutes mid-morning. It's flickered throughout the day. Quite a few branches and other debris on the ground around my property, but no trees down. Wind is expected to persist until early tomorrow morning. It's not at hurricane strength, but still strong enough to cause damage and be a general annoyance.

Think of it as free trimming.

This is scary.

Summers lost to fire and smoke. Biblical floods. Dying forests. Retreating coasts. Economic turmoil and political unrest. It’s going to be a weird century. Here’s what it will look like—and how Canada can get through it.

Wonder what will be worse ? Canada 2060 or Florida 2060 ?
Or just about anywhere for that matter.
My girlfriends daughters (24 and 29) went to SaraSota, FL yesterday for a week vacation.
And of course, me...Mr Gloom And Doom, had to remind them that it will be waist deep or more within their lifetime...or worse.
Enjoy those shores while ya can.
