Oceanographers consider Earth to have but one ocean.

Those other places are seas; not oceans.

NG can do what it wants.

The insurrection at the U.S. Capital is consistent with this philosophy.

Do you have a credible reference indicating that unmitigated COVID-19 transmission in the US would not kill approximately 2 million people.

Do you have a credible reference for the total deaths due to unmitigated COVID-19 transmission in the US?

That assertion is inconsistent with the evidence provided by France, Germany, and Canada.

I suspect that your assertion that the relatively poor death rate in the US is due to delay is bulls**t (something said not because it's true, but because it sounds good). Do you have a credible reference for 1) the NY Time reporting of US numbers is delayed relative to Germany, France, and Canada; and 2) how that creates a greater than an order of magnitude discrepancy?

If not, then please be quiet.

It should have been over months ago.

Approximate, current, 7-day rolling average death rates per 1000000 people:
        France: 0.18/day
        Germany: 0.060/day
        Canada: 0.053/day
        US: 3.3

Objectively, the US is doing much worse (by more than an order of magnitude) than France, Germany, and Canada.

Left unchecked, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is forecast to kill approximately 2 million Americans.

Personally, I think that's sufficient reason to treat it with the care it deserves.

People should wear masks for the welfare of society. It's the patriotic thing to do.

If the US had jumped on the pandemic like South Korea did, it's likely only 1000 people would die.

Good job indeed.

NASA didn't forget about egress charges. The purpose of moving all that data into the cloud is to enable "data proximate" computing (i.e., the analysis occurs where the data resides) in order to *decrease* overall costs. Any egress charges will be due to the transfer of *results*; not data.

This program and its rationale was described by NASA at the 2017 winter meeting of ESIP. See http://commons.esipfed.org/nod..., http://commons.esipfed.org/sit..., and

About two decades ago, I -- as far as I know -- coined the phrase "leverage our synergies" as a joke during a staff meeting.

My management used it just last week.

(sigh)

Spot on.

It's not the time interval from 2014 to 2018 that we need to worry about, but the interval from now to the indefinite future:

From the report (oddly placed numbers refer to peer-reviewed scientific papers):

Projections of Future Sea Level Rise and Coastal Flooding
Projections for the region suggest that sea level rise in the Northeast will be greater than the global average of approximately 0.12 inches (3 mm) per year.247 ,248 According to Sweet et al. (2017),47 the more probable sea level rise scenarios—the Intermediate-Low and Intermediate scenarios from a recent federal interagency sea level rise report (App. 3: Data & Scenarios)—project sea level rise of 2 feet and 4.5 feet (0.6 m and 1.4 m) on average in the region by 2100, respectively.47 The worst-case and lowest-probability scenarios, however, project that sea levels in the region would rise upwards of 11 feet (3 m) on average by the end of the century.47 The higher projections for the region as compared with most others in the United States are due to continued changes in oceanic and atmospheric dynamics, thermal expansion, ice melt contributions from Greenland and Antarctica, and ongoing subsidence in the region due to tectonics and non-tectonic effects such as groundwater withdrawal.47 ,50 ,249 ,250 ,251 ,252 Furthermore, the strongest hurricanes are anticipated to become both more frequent and more intense in the future, with greater amounts of precipitation (Ch. 2: Climate, Box 2.5).50 ,253 ,254 ,255 Thirty-two percent of open-coast north and Mid-Atlantic beaches are predicted to overwash during an intense future nor’easter type storm,256 a number that increases to more than 80% during a Category 4 hurricane.257 ,258
