he following questions pertaining to climate change policy. Should there be an effort at the federal and/or state level to limit greenhouse gas emissions and the effects of climate change? If not, should there be an effort made by public and private industry? Why or why not?

Asked by Mary about 5 years ago

Pretty highly charged issue, Mary. You'll likely have a more substantive answer from your state climatologist. Pretty sure each state has one and there are plenty of private organizations doing climate research.

How can a blind person determine the distance of a thunderstorm if they cannot see lightning strike?

Asked by Azonah almost 7 years ago

Interesting question. If you do a web search for "lightning detector" you will find some options. Kind of the same principle as hearing a static pop on AM radio. In an active storm it might me difficult to separate specific lightning flashes from thunder. These are commonly used at sporting events and golf courses etc.

Why have some scientists argued that the current rise in global temperature is causing an increase in magnitude, frequency, and duration of hurricanes

Asked by girlstarsccr over 5 years ago

Complicated question. The fuel for tropical systems is warm surface water in the ocean. Since the ocean and the atmosphere are connected a warmer atmosphere will create warmer oceans which adds up to more fuel. Hope that helps. Thanks!

what do you know about the gulf stream nozzle and its affect by global warming

Asked by pwinkler about 7 years ago

Global warming issues is not something I generally comment on. Climate is more of a long-term subject as opposed to weather which is more day-to-day and short-term. Thanks!

Why even if your only calling for a trace or even sometimes flurries even a 10% chance do people flood the stores?

Asked by 24 hotdogs almost 6 years ago

Very interesting question. There is a great deal of effort and study going on over the last couple of years by social scientists to understand how and why people react to various weather situations. Individual past experience has a lot to do with future action. Certainly the tone of the message can have a lot to do with reactions. Social media has also shown that is can magnify a message, often in unhelpful ways. As that research continues my short answer is.....people are complicated. Thanks!

What is the difference between a none , limited ,elevated, significant, and exstreem and a none, GT, marginal, slight, mordant, and high scaling systems? Is it different names for the same thing or is one more percent and one more of the severity

Asked by Max over 5 years ago

Looks like you might be combining more than one system. If you're asking about severe thunderstorms this link might help! https://www.spc.noaa.gov/misc/about.html

What do you think happened. So we drove back from the store and when we got into our neighbourhood it started getting windy, heavy rain, and hail. There was crap blowing across the road. When we drove down our street. Nothing instantly stopped.

Sounds like you may have been right on the edge of a thunderstorm. They can have a pretty tight gradient especially has they approach. Thanks, Dan.
