"The new measure, called "outdoor days," is the number of days per year that outdoor temperatures are neither too hot nor too cold for people to go about normal outdoor activities, whether work or leisure.

When we think of climate change, Eltahir says, we tend to look at maps that show that virtually everywhere, temperatures will rise. "But if you think in terms of , you see that the world is not flat. The North is gaining; the South is losing.""

@CelloMomOnCars sometimes I worry about the day when the population flow reverses; I think the winter is a big reason why we can afford to live in upstate NY.

@Hypx @respectmyplanet they're responsible for about 70% of my submissions flagged as duplicates on Hacker News but I still keep posting them because they are responsible for a disproportionate amount of karma but I won't give you a number because my current HN stats crawler doesn't give accurate numbers for a reason I recently determined but haven't got around to fixing (plus dupes on Tildes sting more so I want a Tildes crawler more...)

@Hypx @respectmyplanet I do think it is sad though that Eric Berger, who is the best journalist working on space today, is getting typecast as an Elon Mask fan in a situation which makes that terribly polarizing.

There are other sites that I get more complaints about that center around intrusive advertising, dark patterns, and allegedly predatory journals
