Long ago, I threw out my label of a "weather moron" after reading comments in mainstream-media attributed to Donald J. Trump.
Those morons see that snowfall is occurring so that means - to that dim-wit - that climate-change because of human-activity is not occurring
Also, makes me think of how disgusting it is the US Navy would name a capital-ship after Bill Clinton. Sort of makes sense, in a sarcastic context. The USA weapons-systems are so formidable and overwhelming to USA enemies that draft-dodgers - such as Bill Clinton - and other cowards - such as George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump - are not needed - or wanted - on active-duty of the USA military. Makes further sense since the majority - the vast majority - of USAmericans are yourselves cowards. Buzzwords such as Support The Troops are nothing about actually supporting the troops - you cowards just use buzzwords to bond with your equally cowardly peers.
A submarine named after Jimmy Carter makes sense because he was active-duty US Navy. His personal cowardice is proved by his hypocrisy in his crusade of support for the superstition of the Jesus Christ mythology superstition, as is any form of religion. He was a moron so that makes him qualified to seek higher office in the USA. Sort of how JD Vance is a complete moron and he is certainly no war-hero of any sort. I am thinking the only reason he is justified in seeking higher-office is because he is a wannabe-transvestite. Sort of balances out the idiotic religion garbage. I would rather support him (I don't) than any of those Ronald Reagan style hypocrites and their religion nonsense.
Reading today this article referenced here by me, I think again about those Weather Morons, such as Donald J. Trump.
Only part from that climate-scientist that seems ridiculous is to label that woman as an "influencer"
So I am looking at a few details
I am wondering just precisely what makes her an "influencer"
What bright shiny gimmicks is she using to dazzle you monkeys on social-media and your easily-influenced dim-wit brains.
Whatever else it all means, the reckless spewing of all that poison into the atmosphere by you monkeys is not good for anything.

Climatic and ecological responses to Bennu-type asteroid collisions
Lan Dai and Axel Timmermann
Science Advances 5 Feb 2025 Vol 11, Issue 6
Several near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) in the solar system pose non-negligible threats to the habitability of our planet. As of September 2024, more than 35,800 NEAs have been found, and about 4925 of them are medium-sized asteroids with diameters between 300 m and 1 km. Asteroids with diameters of about 1 km are statistically estimated to strike Earth every 600,000 to 700,000 years. Although the impact probability is extremely low, it cannot be completely ruled out that medium-sized asteroids will collide with Earth within the next two centuries.
Recent work investigated ozone perturbations by water injections from impacts with 500-m and 1-km sized asteroids in the northern subtropical Pacific Ocean. Another extended study simulated the climatic effects of submicron dust particles and soot from a 1-km-sized asteroid impact on land
Physical responses of the climate system to dust perturbations
Changes in monthly averaged surface net solar flux, surface temperature, and total precipitation in four dust injection scenarios relative to the control simulation are summarized in Fig. 1. The globally dispersed dust particles largely scatter incoming solar radiation, resulting in a substantial reduction in global mean surface shortwave radiation lasting for almost 2 years after the impact

Study projects that increasing wildfires in Canada and Siberia will actually slow global warming
Stefan Milne
UW News
A new University of Washington–led study projects that in the next 35 years increasing boreal fires will actually slow global warming by 12% globally and 38% in the Arctic. Because the aerosols in smoke reflect more sunlight and make clouds brighter, summer temperatures during fire season drop, leading to reduced sea ice loss and cooler winter temperatures.
Even if you live far from the boreal forests in Canada and Siberia, you’ve likely noticed an increase in smoke from their forest fires. During major blazes in 2023, the smoke oranged the New York sky and drifted as far south as New Orleans. These blazes have surged in the last decade due to the effects of climate change — warmer summers, less snow cover in the spring, and the loss of sea ice. Experts expect that trend to continue.
Yet recent climate change projection models have not accounted for the increase. For instance, the widely used sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, or CMIP6, released in the late 2010s, kept these fires constant at a relatively low severity.
A new University of Washington-led study projects that in the next 35 years these increasing boreal fires will actually slow warming by 12% globally and 38% in the Arctic. The study is the first to identify the divergence between the observed boreal fire increase and the constant fires used in climate models. Because the aerosols in smoke brighten clouds and reflect sunlight, summer temperatures during fire season drop in northern regions, leading to reduced sea ice loss and cooler winter temperatures. This effect is despite the warming effects of the fires themselves from factors such as soot that falls on the ice.
Researchers published their findings June 3 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“This study helps us begin to better project the impacts of climate change. The dramatic increase in these fires in the last years is itself a symptom of that,” said lead author Edward Blanchard-Wrigglesworth, a UW research associate professor of atmospheric and climate science. “It’s important to remember that these increasing fires still have a lot of negative impacts for human health and for forest biodiversity. And if the fires continue to increase, eventually they could burn through the forests and the trend could reverse. So I wouldn’t say this is good news. But it helps us better understand nature and these trends.”

As carbon and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have increased dramatically in the past few decades, the threat of climate change has also grown. Solar energy is a renewable, carbon-free resource available in every geographic region of the U.S., with enormous potential to reduce our nation’s GHG emissions. Any market or policy proposal to address climate change should include significant development of solar and other clean energy technologies to power a clean, affordable economic future.

Scientist debunks misleading claim made by social media influencer: 'Here comes the cherry-pick'

Scientist debunks misleading claim made by social media influencer: 'Here comes the cherry-pick'
A scientist has taken to social media to provide important context surrounding the claims of an online influencer who sought to downplay the significance of rising global temperatures.
"On a personal note, I think that climate anxiety is really genuinely a problem, and we shouldn't give up hope," Doug McNeall, a climate scientist, says in his TikTok video. "But we should also be really clear-eyed about the challenges that are facing us due to the real and present threat of climate change, both now and in the future."
As McNeall explains, rising global temperatures have not impacted every region of the world identically. While the temperatures in some areas have risen dramatically in recent decades, others have seen more incremental changes. Given the variability of climate around the globe, this sort of variation is what climate scientists would expect.

However, some online influencers have used these regional differences to cherry-pick data, misleadingly suggesting that temperatures have been rising less than climate scientists and their models have said.
In the case of the influencer that McNeall critiques, she used a chart showing only temperature data from the Midwest region of the United States from 1973 through 2022. However, as McNeall points out, using a map showing temperature changes around the globe, the influencer chose one of the areas that has experienced the lowest increase in temperatures.
"The first question you have to ask is, 'Why those dates, and why that region?'" McNeall says.
"Here comes the cherry-pick," McNeall continues later in the video. "That is the lowest warming trend of just about anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere during that period."

McNeall continues to explain that the graph the influencer used actually came from a source known for providing climate misinformation. He further highlights why relying on cherry-picked data can not only be misleading but also potentially harmful.
"It would be dangerous to generalize from, 'This part of the U.S. isn't warming' to 'Warming isn't dangerous,'" the climate scientist says. "There's lots of parts of the world that actually warmed much more."
The map McNeall shows, which depicts warming trends around the globe, makes this very clear. Even within the U.S., western states were covered in dark red, indicating dramatic warming, despite the Midwest being colored a light yellow, indicating less warming.
Scientists have demonstrated repeatedly that different areas of the globe have been heating at different rates. For example, a 2022 study found that temperatures in the Arctic region have been increasing four times as fast as the rest of the globe.

Similarly, temperatures in Europe have been rising twice as fast as the global average, according to the Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Therefore, while McNeall, the climate scientist, agrees that climate anxiety can be a bad thing, he warns against addressing it by using cherry-picked and misleading data that does not tell the whole story.
"I don't like the promotion of climate anxiety either," McNeall says. "But I don't think this graph [used by the influencer] is useful evidence to calm your climate anxiety."
One way to address climate anxiety is to take active steps to reduce planet-overheating pollution. For example, by driving an EV or putting solar panels on your home, you can reduce heat-trapping pollution while also saving money on gas and electricity.

[from AP:] NASA downgrades threat of large asteroid
Oct 7, 3:48 PM (ET)
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Earth can breathe a sigh of relief.
NASA on Wednesday downgraded the odds of an 885-foot asteroid striking the planet in 2036.
Scientists initially believed there was a 1-in-45,000 chance that Apophis could hit the planet on April 13, 2036. But the threat was lowered to a 1-in-250,000 chance after researchers recalculated the asteroid's path.
"It wasn't anything to worry about before. Now it's even less so," said Steve Chesley, an astronomer with the Near Earth Object Program at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Chesley and his colleagues refined the asteroid's orbit after an astronomer in Hawaii analyzed previously unreleased images that gave scientists a better idea of Apophis' position.
Earth got a scare in 2004 when initial measurements suggested the newly discovered Apophis seemed to have a chance of hitting the planet in 2029.
