Interesting as Duval (the county the game is playing in) is in a state of emergency

Remnants of Nadine Wind Speed Probabilities

move the game up to noon or so as the storm isnt hitting that area until sunday/monday.

Models have the hurricane slowing down. Might be able to play it now as scheduled.

any one buying Florida property with climate change will face more of this evry year....

I hope FEMA has enough money to cover the POTUs paper towel help

Yeah because hurricanes are an unheard of phenomenon

My fear is where will the remnants of this storm be next Saturday? We don’t need another WF type of scenario.

Although, I do like our run game better (on paper) if we did have to deal with this.

There's a lot of science suggesting climate change is making hurricanes more frequent and more severe, since hurricanes are formed in part by warm water.

It's not the hurricanes, it's the intensity of the hurricanes. Warmer oceans mean more damage...

Interesting. The tweet you posted before this one shows that the new prediction for landfall isn't until Monday now and this is when they make the decision to move the game?

Pssssht, science.

And yet there's science that doesn't support that

Historical Atlantic Hurricane and Tropical Storm Records – Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory

Keep in mind that hurricane trafficking and recording is only as accurate as the observations and technology allow us. You can extrapolate, and even when NOAA did, they found very little, if any increase in the last 150 years.

Interested read, but it doesn't account for the severity. Only the frequency.

Sure, but half your comment was on frequency. In any case, I'm not going to push this further as it's more of an off-topic topic.

Three fours and fives are not unprecedented either. Theres more damage because there’s more stuff to wreck

I’d take all this more seriously if the guy that was going to lower the ocean wasn’t dropping 15m on a house on an island in the North Atlantic

Let's just ignore that record amounts of ice in the Arctic & Antarctica have melted and the Amazon deforestation levels in Brazil may have pushed us past the point of no return because some guy is trying to build a house...

For this reason I'm concerned about rain in College Park at noon next Saturday.

Agreed about being an off topic board subject...but I'll add this here: Acclaimed Israeli astrophysicist suggests the sun drives Earth’s climate, not CO2

Solar activity is the single most important driver of climate change. Carbon emissions are way down the list. For perspective, a single large volcanic eruption (i.e. Mt St Helen in 1980) can spew more green house gases than man has created since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution.

As a life long environmentalist I believe that, as matter of policy, we should always error on the side of caution. Environmental alarmism, cloaked in bad science, doesn't help anyone. I guess it really doesn't matter since the planet will only be habitable for another 10-12 years. It looks like SU will go out in style ;-)

Yay, a climate change debate. I can find out everyone’s politics and still ignore the OT board.

Win-win.
