Dammit, Associated Press, I need pictures or video! Is this not something that would look real dramatic and instead just make everything slightly hazy but really terrible to breathe?

Bip Roberts posted:aren't those dust storms super good for photo plankton growth? Saharan dust is supposed to blow into the Americas. It's actually a key component for the wildly lush and diverse rainforests in the Western hemisphere. So it's good for a lot of growth of various species but an unfortunate harbinger of doom nonetheless.

Stereotype posted:neat looks like Hawaii is going to be obliterated by a hurricane nah it’s gonna degrade into a tropical storm right before it hits because Hawaii always avoids these things somehow or another. in this case it’s because it has to pass through colder waters that happen to dip down just enough to buffer the islands

hobbesmaster posted:there’s also a giant volcano that screws with winds there the NOAA people have explicitly said that their models don't take into account the volcano because they don't think it makes a big difference, but they also are always horribly wrong and can't predict the hurricanes at all once they get close to this islands, so who knows.

quick reminder that Honolulu has never, in recorded history, been hit by a hurricane. If one actually hits here it is going to be an unmitigated catastrophe.

i assume this is based on average ocean temperatures from 1998, wonder if any of those lines have moved from the entire ocean getting substantially hotter since then
