Rather than scrapping it, why not loan it to the city and recall it if needed in wartime? A natural disaster is not the only situation in which it might be found useful.

Reminds me of a small police department in Montana that received a donated dog from the Israeli Defense Force (rather than spending 20K on a Belgian Malinois trained from scratch). Dog didn't respond to commands. Officers had to find one of the few Rabbis in Montana to get language training because it turned out the dog only understood Hebrew. True story. Sometimes the free one comes with strings!:D

do we have proof "particulates" are the cause? No we don't.

Yeah we shouldn't have to change our lifestyle. Sorry not gonna happen, i'm going to continue to eat meat, drive an suv and go on vacation when I want to.

Yeah. Me too. Especially since I live at 5800ft. I don't have to worry about Hurricanes. :rolleyes:

And yes, I understand weather not as good as most of the scientists but I understand better than every single non meteorologist pilot. I have degrees in it. It is a complex field of study. When a doctor or an engineer or a pharmacist or a meteorologist says "this is how this works," is your first response, "quit being so arrogant with your knowledge and maybe I'll believe you?" I'm not going to go through fluid Dynamics here so that you can understand. Learning is your responsibility. I've read studies published at multiple universities that indicate quasi-stationary long wave patterns are a direct result of AGW. They have been occurring with greater frequency at a statistically significantly rate and proportional to AGW.

He went to college. He has two degrees therefore he must be correct. Don't believe everything you read or what the Professors in college tell you. You most likely aren't aware that back in the 70's those "professionals" were talking about an "ice age". I.e. "Global cooling". Indoctrinated. If only the rest of us were as "smart" as you professionally indoctrinated...errr. I mean educated folks.

The Russian INMCM4 climate model was the only model that was remotely accurate in predicting current actual temperatures. Funny that this model lacks the CO2 bias of the other models.

If only there was an organization who could be deployed during a crisis that has other uses for it, like fighting a war. Some kind of state sponsored national type guard.

Local police have no business having MRAPs.

Nonsense.

We've used 5-ton mil-surplus vehicles many times to perform high water rescues with our local SO.

As long as you apply this logic uniformly. Especially to climate change dening studies.

And I agree you can't contribute A single storms stregnth to the climate change. A storm is weather, climate is long term and if we see a pattern of these storms then we can say they are caused by the climate changing.

Also, this isn't some anti trump conspiracy. We all know he controls the Dept of defense, which over sees the dispersal of weather controlling chemtrails.

I got ahold of a bad burrito and dropped some serious unauthorized chemtrails off at the airport men's room a few moons ago.

The airlines should not have marked fares up, 600% in some cases, for people trying to get out of the storm path.

Clearly you don't have a clue how airline pricing works. I'm guessing you got this from the Twitter lady who screwed up and was comparing a Delta economy ticket with a mixed cabin first class ticket?
