The Weather Cliff Mass, Brightening Your Day
Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Tue, Apr 10, 2012 at 4:16 PM
To a Seattleite in springtime, this is a very happy word*:
He continues:
It is increasingly apparent that this spring will not be a repeat of the damp, cold abomination of Spring 2011. Today [that is, yesterday] Seattle hit 68F and yesterday [Sunday] 70F....well above the normal high of 57F. In 2011, the first day to hit 70F was MAY 20th.
He also goes on to say that the warmest March on record—with the records going back to 1985 1895—that the rest of the country experienced is no reason to panic about climate change. (Panic in general, maybe, just not about this.)
Thanks, Cliff Mass!
*And yes, it's from yesterday, so I lose the internet. But: WARMTH!!!

1895. Not 1985. Those of us born before 1985 remember weather records being broken, even way back then before the wheel.

Shoot.
When Cliff Mass says to panic, it usually means that nothing happens.
Uh...therefore....?!?!?!

When, exactly has Cliff Mass EVER said to "panic" Bailo? Or are you just hearing things in the "dog whistle range" as per normal?

All I know is I want a real red tomato to grow in my garden this summer. If it takes global warming so be it.
