It is so annoying to me....and I'm also sick of the news thinking they are our nannies. Telling me to check my tires and/or buy snow chains/tires is not news. Telling me how to drive on wet pavement is not news, telling me when or when not to leave my house for travel is not news. Telling me what to pack or fill my tank IS NOT NEWS.
And yet all of those things can and certainly do help people and maybe even save lives. Do what I do. Record the news. FF what you don't want to hear.

By cracky you sound like you are 90 years old LOL . The term was not made up to increase paranoia and heighten fear. It's actually a real thing and as you see below it's a specific kind of winter storm named by meteorologists and not news people trying to sensationalize the weather.
If you want to get pissed at something how about when they don't even show the actual temperature and they show what it FEELS LIKE
That driver me nuts. It's not even accurate because the chill factor is based on the wind speed and that varies.
IMO that is indeed sensationalizing the weather.Even worse it doesn't accurately describe the weather/temperature.
If a winter storm is dubbed a bomb cyclone or “bombogenesis” by meteorologists, it means it is expected to rapidly intensify, dropping 24 millibars (or atmospheric pressure) over a 24-hour span, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A typical range in millibars is around 10 to 15.
Atmospheric pressure drops when air near the Earth’s surface rises “faster than it can be replaced at the bottom.”
When the fall in atmospheric pressure is sudden, the result is often called a “bomb cyclone” because the drop typically creates violent weather that arrives like a bomb going off. Some meteorologists use the term “explosive cyclogenesis” to describe the storm’s formation.
Bombogenesis, explosive cyclogenesis: whatever you call it, you should know it can bring “hurricane-force winds” and all that that suggests: downed trees, buckets of rain, suddenly roofless houses, impassable roads.

Yea, that's like when they get all cutesy with their forecasts and graphics, the "bus stop forecast" or "walk the dog forecast" etc. All that crap annoys me.

The "feels like" doesn't bother me as long as they post the real temp also. By the way, I'm feeling about 90 years old today.

Quote:History
In the 1940s and 1950s, meteorologists at the Bergen School of Meteorology began informally calling some storms that grew over the sea "bombs" because they developed with a great ferocity rarely seen over land.[5]
By the 1970s, the terms "explosive cyclogenesis" and even "meteorological bombs" were being used by MIT professor Fred Sanders (building on work from the 1950s by Tor Bergeron), who brought the term into common usage in a 1980 article in the Monthly Weather Review.[5][10] In 1980, Sanders and his colleague John Gyakum defined a "bomb" as an extratropical cyclone that deepens by at least (24 sin φ/ sin 60°)mb in 24 hours, where φ represents latitude in degrees. This is based on the definition, standardised by Bergeron, for explosive development of a cyclone at 60°N as deepening by 24 mb in 24 hours.[15] Sanders and Gyakum noted that an equivalent intensification is dependent on latitude: at the poles this would be a drop in pressure of 28 mb/24 hours, while at 25 degrees latitude it would be only 12 mb/24 hours. All these rates qualify for what Sanders and Gyakum called "1 bergeron".[10][12]

So clearly, There have been more reports of bomb cyclones in the last 50 years, then all of recorded history. Further proof of global warming.

And the heat is only going to get worse.
“This hot air mass is so extensive, the preliminary figures show that yesterday was the hottest day on record in Australia, beating out the previous record from 2013 and this heat will only intensify,”

I would love a simple yes or no answer to this question, but will not get it.
Do you believe that you can change the temperature of the planet by giving more money to the government?

Giving money to the government is not the issue.
It's policies set by the government.
Like shutting down coal plants and encouraging solar and wind energy.
paying for research to develop Thorium salt reactors, etc.
This is about leadership, science and survival not monetary greed.

Or alternatively, can the government at this point, make a change in global warming by creating necessary standards that put planetary health over profits?

The initial signs were first put up more than 10 years ago based on forecasts by the U.S. Geological Survey, park spokeswoman Gina Kurzmen told CNN. Three years ago, the park was told the forecast had shifted, but the network reported there was no budget to change the already-installed signs.
