Heard reports that our area got. 27” of rain in July so far. I’m not sure that’s correct, and I can’t find a central source, but I’d believe at least 20”.

I'm glad to  hear "they" are being somewhat more honest about this mess.  To be somewhat "fair", that $78 trillion is global, not just US.  And it's probably an underestimate.

It doesn't matter of course, there isn't that much money available anywhere even spread over 25.5 years.  Some countries will continue to pay for some appearances that could only have a small impact on CO2 production.  

I am fully expecting more press releases saying how "we" are falling woefully short of "our" climate goals.  NS.

Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels reached record high in 2023 | Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability

The Global Carbon Project’s new estimates arrive in the middle of the climate summit known as COP28, where countries that signed the 2015 Paris Agreement are discussing efforts to achieve the accord’s goal of keeping global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and preferably below 1.5 degrees Celsius.

“The impacts of climate change are evident all around us, but action to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels remains painfully slow,” said lead study author Pierre Friedlingstein of the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter in the UK. “It now looks inevitable we will overshoot the 1.5 C target of the Paris Agreement, and leaders meeting at COP28 will have to agree rapid cuts in fossil fuel emissions even to keep the 2 C target alive.”

Imagine a day where the head of the US Treasury calls for spending money that doesn't exist and never will.

This is that day.

Of course, it depends on Congress, which won't do anything like that.  If the US were responsible for 20% of that, obviously it would be $15.6 trillion, which over 25.5 years is $624 billion a year.  The much lauded "climate bill" Congress passed a couple years back allocates $37 billion a year, so we're 17x "short".

This stuff annoys me for some reason, or entertains me, one or the other.

They will reach a global high in 2024, and 2025 ... I expect, barring a recession, or COVID 2.  Then we'll see continued hand wringing about it all and pleas to "do more", of something, throw money at it.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM EDT Tue Jul 30 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

1. Near the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas:
A large tropical wave centered several hundred miles east of the 
Lesser Antilles is producing limited shower activity due to 
environmental dry air.  Conditions are forecast to become a little 
more conducive for development over the warmer waters of the 
southwestern Atlantic Ocean, and a tropical depression could form 
late this week while the system is in the vicinity of the Greater 
Antilles or the Bahamas.  Interests in the Greater Antilles, the 
Bahamas, and the southeastern U.S. should monitor the progress of 
this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.

SWFL remains hopeful yet cautious in the face of potential tropical system (winknews.com)


Man, we need to avoid another Ian for a good while. We're almost 2 years out and still in recovery mode in places like Fort Myers Beach (gonna be at least 5 more years) and Matlacha.

Saharan dust keeping this one at bay for now. Forecasters have no certainty at all.
