1. This December has still been below average where I am in PA

Yes warm days are more common with climate change, however. Supposed to be cold near Christmas then warmer through to the New Year.

2. Same in DC area!

Forecast hi tomorrow 53.

3. It was very warm here as well.

Unfortunately, I woke up earlier, but then fell back asleep and overslept and missed a test I had to do. I was hoping to get out while it was sunny, but I’m going to go for a walk soon before it gets colder again. I guess we’re supposed to worry about the warmer weather, but I actually like it when the winters are warmer since I don’t like super cold weather.

The previous days however, were extremely cold in the 20s and 30s.
Nearly every time it warms up, it’s raining nonstop but today was sunny.

Been that way for the last several days. Supposed to be cooler, down in the 60's next week.

what Chief Waterman used to call "caucasian summer."

9. Heh.

6. Ehh, it's not a record

It was near 70 here one Christmas Eve around 10 years ago.

8. 2023 was the hottest year on record for NYC and 2024 is shaping up to surpass it.

What would a Green New Deal achieve?

Millions of family-sustaining jobs: Whether replacing lead pipes, weatherizing homes, expanding railways, or manufacturing wind turbines, millions of workers will lead the transition to a new economy. The jobs created must be high-road, union jobs: with family-sustaining wages and benefits, safe working conditions, and training and advancement opportunities.

Climate sanity: A Green New Deal would help us swiftly transition to a clean energy economy. By investing in smart grids for renewable energy distribution, encouraging energy-efficient manufacturing, and expanding low-emissions public transit, a Green New Deal would significantly reduce climate pollution.

Clean air and water: A Green New Deal would replace lead pipes, clean up hazardous waste sites, and reduce toxic air and water pollution from oil, gas, and coal. Those benefiting the most would be the communities of color and low-income families who today endure disproportionate exposure to toxins.

Lower costs: A Green New Deal would help working class families slash their energy bills and reduce their transit costs by offering more energy-efficient homes, access to affordable wind and solar power, and more reliable options for affordable public transportation.
