The first climate change presentation I saw was back in the 1970s when I was working for the National Weather Service. The speaker, J. Murray Mitchell, was the top climate scientist for NWS.

At the time, media speculation and popular books were suggesting a new “ice age” was coming. While that got the bulk of the publicity, Dr. Mitchell assured us that the warming of the climate would be the biggest problem in the future.

So, when I hear arguments saying: “They were predicting an ice age back in the ’70s,” I know that wasn’t true. I was there.

The ’80s took the subject of global warming to the next level. When James Hanson and Al Gore testified about how the warming had already begun, I thought they were exaggerating — a lot. I became an instant skeptic.

1.    HOW THOSE "AWFUL" DUNES SAVE SOME BEACH AREA….
As one who has vacationed at the Jersey Shore since the 1950s, AND as a meteorologist who specializes in hurricanes, I have been preaching for years how important it is to have a good dune system. SO many people complain about them, since they block their view of the beautiful ocean, and cause them to walk up and down sharp hills to get to the beach.

The shore areas I am most familiar with are the Atlantic City to Longport ar
