Right now the weather outside absolutely beautiful! Its about 55 degrees and sunny. Not too shabby for the first day of winter right? Well…in my opinion, not really, contrast this temperature with Monday, 10 degrees and wind chill below zero. Climate change is an increase in variability of weather patterns and I definitely feel that today is a bit warmer than it should be. What I’d like to see in the field of meteorology is a 3 day net temperature change summary, as in go through the entire history of recorded daily temperatures and contrast the highs & lows of any given 3 day period. For example, by contrasting today’s temperature with Monday’s temperature would yield a 45 degree return. I’d like to see every date plugged into a computer and analyzed to show what the average 3 day net temperature change and to see if over time there has been a statistical increase in temperature variability. Would this prove once and for all that climate change is definitely happening? Probably not, but I’ll just go outside and feel it.

In other news, the Inaugural Map is now 100% operational and hosted off my site! I am going to be adding another layer of all names of buildings, or at least important buildings, on the map.

In going through my inbox I had found that I still had a press list I had created. So far there has been no media response. Give it a few days, or weeks…
