2024 Hurricane Season

LOL, we pulled our Nest thermostats out. The constant game playing of manipulating the thermostat in the summer had to go. Not a darn thing smart about coming home to a 82 degree house.

I’ll be passing thru an earthworm before I eat bugs.

You could have just, ummmm, changed the setting.

Electricity yet?

Electricity yet?

Nah. Probably going to be a few more days. My area has (/had) lots of big trees. Was a totally mess.

I have a buddy in Katy area got his back yesterday afternoon

I believe the NEST, being connected to the internet/wifi, could be manipulated by outside interests. That's why I got rid of mine.

Hooooohhhhh boy.

Very entertaining thread.
Don't trust NOAA, NASA or UN for science. But trust your own 'opinion or feelings' about scientific matters. Get our understanding of a highly complicated atmospheric, hydrospheric and lithospheric phenomenon from a dead standup comedian. Cannot figure out a smart thermostat-blame the thermostat. Same thermostat is secretly sending data to the Reds who will then use it to kill everyone by turning up the heat. Humans cannot change/control the environment(except we have been doing that for 6000-ish years. 5 million barrels of crude dumped into the GOM AT ONE TIME is not a big deal. Subsidies BAD-but not THOSE subsidies. If one thinks there may be a better way than fossil fuels going forward, that person is now obligated to never use fossil fuels again, immediately.
Did I miss anything?
It's been fun guys and I truly appreciate the constructive discourse from those capable of it. I absolutely do not mind hearing other arguments, etc. I understand that this topic is nuanced but I also understand that one cannot use logic to dissuade someone from a position they did not use logic to arrive at.

Hooooohhhhh boy.

The tin foil is strong right here.
Family in Spring-Cypress area got theirs on yesterday. Hang in there.

Don't trust one darn word about anything coming from the UN.

Unfortunately, politics has infected nearly every governmental or quasi-gorvernmental organization, including NOAA and NASA. I have learned over the last 40 years to take all climate alarmism with a grain of salt. I prefer to have a bigger view of our planet than the last 100 years.

We definitely can change an environment. I am a HUGE advocate for clean air/clean water. I doubt, other than Nuclear War, that mankind can change the climate of the Earth in any way that comes close to what Mother Nature can do all by herself whenever she feels like it.

Logic 101

54 years of Globalist propaganda science vs an amateur part time Acadia Parish rocket scientist

This is Actual science on global warming and it's effect on sea levels.

1970: Cajun Field -2 ft
2024: Cajun Field still at -2 ft

You're being brainwashed. As a part time Acadia Parish amateur rocket scientist I am impressed and yet disappointed on how effective the globalist propaganda fear machine has worked.

If Cajun Field's elevation measurement is tied to the NAD 83 mean sea level, that may change next year as the USGS plans to adjust where the mean sea level elevation is referenced. The updated reference point could result in a lower elevation than the current -2 feet.

I’m still out in Spring today
