As Global CO2 Goes Up, Florida Weather Gets Better -- August 2, 2015

ObamaCare Update 

How did one-payer health care work out in Bernie Sanders' Vermont? The Wall Street Journal has the story and it isn't pretty. I assume Hillary and Huma wrote the story, using the pseudonym "Mr Norman."

Oh, Never Mind

Weather Underground is reporting: 

It's been 3,566 days since the last hurricane hit the Florida coast. That probably explains why most Floridians say they're not worried about the prospect of a hurricane making a direct impact on their state, according to the results of a poll released this week.

One in three say they don't plan to evacuate if a Category 1 storm is coming their way, according to the the latest Mason-Dixon Florida Poll, which surveyed about 800 adults living in Florida by phone between July 20 and July 24.

The poll also found that 60 percent of the state's residents said it was either "not too likely" or "not likely at all" that a hurricane would make landfall in Florida this year.

And the younger the respondents were the less likely they were to be worried about storms, the Tallahassee Democrat notes. For residents age 18 to 34, only 28 percent said they thought there was "at least some chance for a hurricane," while 67 percent said they didn't.

Whether Floridians should be concerned or not, it's amazing that as the CO2 has continued to rise, the weather in Florida has gotten more sedate. I can't make this stuff up. I'm still waiting for Tim Cook to put the CO2 ppm app on the Apple Watch, so environmentalists can check it hourly.

It was also interesting to note that despite atmospheric CO2 hitting 402 earlier this summer, they are getting snow for the first time in quite awhile in Tasmania.

For those who may have forgotten:

• Tasmania is an island off the southeast coast of Australia
• this is winter in the southern hemisphere

ABC.Net.Au is reporting:

Snowfalls are starting to ease in southern Tasmania but many schools and roads remain closed.

Snow reached sea level for the first time since 2005, with Hobart's beaches and central business district receiving a dusting.

Snowfalls in Hobart are rare - the last time the CBD experienced a "dump of snow" was on July 25, 1986 when the Tasman Bridge was closed.Snowfalls in Hobart are rare - the last time the CBD experienced a "dump of snow" was on July 25, 1986 when the Tasman Bridge was closed.

One would almost think that we're seeing the beginning of a "mini" Ice Age.
