The term “Weather Rocks” brings to mind different things. Some folk may have a “weather rock” just outside, which when it is dry you know it is not raining. When it is black and wet, you know it is and when it is white there is snow.
In getting into climate, weather really rocks, because we see it every day and it all adds up to climate. And the latter has become politicized in an unprecedented attempt to set the temperature of the nearest planet at 277 K. Of course, this has been the greatest audacity in the overly long history of bureaucratic scheming. As if this nonsense wasn’t glaring enough, there is earnest debate about whether it should be at 277.5 or 278.5. The smaller number is used for urgency about “tipping points” whereby all-of-a-sudden, the “Earth is going to fry!”.
