One argument against transitioning to renewable energy has been that it will cost too many jobs - coal miners, oil riggers, etc. But that argument is patently false. Many studies, including the one listed below, show that MANY MORE good-paying,…

There's been a lot of focus lately on rockets launching folks into space. But the cost per passenger is enormous on Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic.  A company called Space Perspective wants to offer quite a different experience for considerably…

Here's a little reminder from the folks at @NWSColumbia. Did you know South Carolina experiences approximately 10 to 20 earthquakes a year? You might be surprised about the facts (and fiction!) of earthquakes. Our friends at @USGS came up with an interesting…

The numbers are in and September was the 5th warmest globally.  In the Southern Hemisphere, it was the hottest September on record.  Here's the whole story from NOAA. September 2021 was Earth’s 5th warmest on record | National Oceanic and…

The Tropics are very quiet right now - thankfully. As you know, the hurricane season can be very busy right now. But it's not. As of today, there is no expected development of either topical storms or hurricanes over the…

Why is the earth warming? It's pretty simple. We (humans) are digging up oil, gas, coal, etc., (fossil fuels) from the ground and burning these fuels. We burn them primarily to create electricity and drive our cars, trucks, etc.  This…

The earth is warming - dramatically. Climate scientists tell us that we humans are the cause. That's because we continue to dig fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, etc.) from the ground and burn then for transportation and creating electricity. The…

Scientists have studied the role that humans are playing in global warming for years. Just so you know, the verdict is in. More than 98% of climate scientists conclude (based on the evidence) that global warming is happening and humans…

As you know, 2020 has been a very busy year for hurricanes. There have already been 20 named storms. So what happens when we finish the alphabet? In the past, we've used Greek alphabet - starting with alpha. But this…

A troubling trend in the Northern Hemisphere. Summers are getting longer, while the other seasons are getting shorter.  This is all the result of Global Warming - nearly all of which is caused by humans. You can read the full…

There are two storms in the Atlantic: Hurricane Sam and Tropical Storm Victor.  Fortunately for us, both of them are headed out to sea. The only impacts we'll see is larger than normal waves at the beaches from Hurricane Sam.

Hurricane Sam will stay well out to sea - completely missing the US. The only impact will be bigger waves along the coast. But there are two areas of concern just now coming off the coast of Africa. Each could…

Another Tropical Storm has formed in the Atlantic. Sam is moving west and expected to intensify over the next several days. It's still too early to know if it will have any impact on the United States, so please stay…

There are 2 active tropical storms in the Atlantic: Peter and Rose.  Peter poses a threat to Bermuda.  It appears that Rose will pose no threat to anyone.

A new tropical storm has formed. Odette is off the Maryland coast and headed out to sea.  The only impact on the U.S. will be big waves from North Carolina to Maine.

You might be thinking to yourself that a hurricane or tropical storm seems to be hitting the U.S. every other week. Well it's not quite that often, but it is VERY often compared to average.  @bhensonweather tweeted the following: "Another…
