bigad: noaa could choose to make the speed limit mandatory, punishable by fines, but its decision isn't expected until next year, as it gains input from the public and the shipping industry, which has long argued that slowing down could hurt its bottom line. large ships are required to constantly transmit their location and speed when at sea for safety reasons. we obtained and analyzed more than 25,000 of those ship traffic records, and of the 10 companies traveling in and around the bay most often, we learned matson navigation, a cargo shipping company, has the worst track record, surpassing the voluntary speed limit more than 80% of the time so far this year. remember the limit is 10 knots, but matson ships average 14 knots as it transports cars, food, household goods and more. the company told us, "we instruct all of our vessels to abide by these voluntary programs to the greatest extent possible given our operational requirements, and we do slow significantly through these areas." cruise ships are also frequent offenders. while their average speed is less than 1 or 2 knots above the

noaa and nasa agree that we will see you two feet of sea level rise by 2050. yes there were rises before, but we did not have huge populations living in miami beach or the carolina shores or in lower manhattan so we will have a huge displacement a population within the time span of a mortgage currently purchased so we have to address that. the good news about this and this is some of the tension that has made the information a little bit complicated. the united states is vastly less energy-efficient. i mean turning energy into dollars. switzerland generates three times as many dollars in energy. u.k. generates twice as much meaning that if we just got up to the level of our energy partners with technology is proven to work notwithstanding solar flares and everything else we could be twice as rich as current energy use or if you prefer to use half much -- half as much energy. there is no reason not to do that but we have to deal with the fact that many communities that deal with fossil fuel extraction giving everyone access to cheaper energy is going to hurt th

according to noaa, the national atmospheric and -- the final count yet to be tallied. the first disaster came in the spring when warmer temperatures fueled deadly tornado outbreaks in as many weeks. this is gone more than 200 reported tornadoes across more than a dozen states. >> all your hard work has just gone up in the air. >> in the west, sections of yellowstone national park were devastated by destructive flash floods. roads were washed away. the park was closed to the public for the first time in three decades. climate change caused the atmosphere to be warmer and wetter, making conditions right for these types of events. >> it was very surprising. >> this summer was a story of extremes. europe had its most intense heat wave in recorded history. london set a historic all-time high of 104 degrees. back in the u.s., six 1000 year floods occurred in the span of five weeks in july and august. places like st. louis, dallas, and eastern kentucky deluge with 8 to 15 inches of rain in just 24 hours. death valley received its entire u.s. work of rain in just three hours.

you speak out infrastructure funding that is part of the bipartisan infrastructure law to strengthen noaaelping us with the fire and what else do you think we can do to expand this capacity quick. >> we appreciate those funds which provided those resources to us so those particular funds in the supplemental we have been able to accelerate the delivery of some products which take information we get from the geostationary satellite and modeling and working with the national weather service to make a better service but also as the high resolution model to allow us with those effects are products that were in the pipeline. we know we are ready but we could accelerate with the inclusion of the disaster supplemental funds. looking forward we definitely have seen the increase of the fire and the next generation we have other products which we are continuing to improve that the geostationary satellite we have targeted those that are better on fire initiation and increasing the resolution to spot small fires faster and give emergency managers a quicker response time. we are able to contain roughly

i mean, noaa satellites have also been capturing these thermal images of the eruption, and, i mean, weook at it and we know, that is hot. but is there any way to really gauge how hot are we talking? what are the temperatures that, you know, you scientists are able to detect is coming out of that concave? >> that's a great question. >> yeah. >> so in hawaii, the type of lava is the hottest lava that is currently erupting on the earth. and, you know, if you were to measure the lava as it's coming out of the vents, you see these pictures at mauna loa of the fountains of lava coming out of the crack in the ground, and those are probably erupting at close to 1,800 degrees fahrenheit. it's hard to get a sense of that. when you're broiling something in the oven and you open it up, that's about four or five times cooler than a lava flow. having been up to one, it blew my mind in okinawa, the heat that one feels from that lava that's right there. it's just something that's unimaginable because there's really nothing in our everyday life that really reaches that sort of temperature. you know, yo

let's bring in the chief of the forecast operation branch of noaa's weather prediction center.hank you so much for joining us. >> yes, good morning. how are you? >> you're in the prediction business. i try to stay away from it. can you give us a sense of how things lock right now and how long this is expected to last. >> yeah, saras, right now we're looking at a major, major storm as you've heard all morning long, expansive, from north in canada all the way down to the gulf coast in florida. this system is called a cyclone bomb. the center will drift slowly into canada but its impact are basically nationwide. another storm system affecting the pacific northwest we heard of early. it's just about everywhere from coast to coast this morning. >> is this what you expected to happen? i know there was warnings that this was coming. it's dropping so quickly. we just watched our reporter paulo sandoval go to at least ten degrees lower with a bunch of snow and wind. is that what you expected to happen? >> yes. the forecast was quite remarkable, which was highlighted in prediction outloo

even on noaa website, basically measuring the website, the meteorologists have a long article probably taken down after i wrote about it and made it sure to capture it to make sure i had proof. he wrote there was no proof to link hurricanes with carbon dioxide. and there's not enough of it. and the power is not stuff. and the function of the earth's weather is to distribute heat. the nature of the earth's tilt, the sun hits us at the equator, and so, the earth is blessed with this atmosphere which we can distribute the heat from the equator to the poles pan from the lower atmosphere to the upper atmosphere. that keeps the planet livable. because it regulates the heat to the extent we can. we have ice ages, that's still functioning, but the planet can't overcome the amount of cold that we're getting at that time. and that tend to occur because of the elliptical orbit of the earth. when it's the most elliptical, the most far from the fun at extreme, that's when we get ice ages and another one will occur. we're right now in an interglacial warming period. we should be thankful we are. lif

i know noaa did put out awe winter outlook and they did call for slightly above average in terms of precipitationthose of you in the south east. they did call for drying conditions and as far as the temperature goals, it is going to continue to be chilly for those of you out west but here in the east, i'm hoping that things are finally going to rebound because ashley, i need to get outside and i need to exercise because its been my new year's resolution to look like you, my man, for the upcoming summer so i need for these temperatures to improve. ashley: flattery will get you everywhere jason and it's going to warmup because you don't want mom getting upset with you. >> good to see you. ashley: we expect this warmup eventually using the keyword, jason frazier, great stuff. thank you very much. all right, now this. if you're still waiting on holiday deliveries, well, you may be stuck waiting until the new year. this massive winter storm that jason was telling us about has caused a number of shipping delays. ups says it has service outages in almost 900 zip codes across michigan, new york, indiana,

greg harman is forecast operations nev at noaa's prediction center.it lining up with what you thought would happen? >> yeah, good day, jessica. well, this is an expansive, extensive storm system 23 you look at the weather maps this afternoon. it basically encompasses most of eastern canada, eastern half or maybe two-thirds of the united states with the circulation all the way down into the gulf of mexico and parts of florida. it is a large and dangerous storm system. the arctic air mass advertised well in advance, outlooks over two weeks ago indicating for the potential for it to spread across the united states right around christmastime right on schedule. the low pressure system associated with the cyclone is also very intense and was forecast very well and well in advance indicating blizzard conditions from the plains to the northeast and that's what we're seeing unfold. >> and so what do you anticipate happens next? have we seen the worst of it as it starts to push out? >> that's a really good question. i was thinking earlier today that, well, firs

noaa estimates that after the japan tsunami, some of the worst affected beaches in alaska had 30 tonswaste per mile. so, we get this enormous amount of waste and plastic in. fishing gear that winds up on our shores mostly from asia, not from alaska. but once the marine debris is collected, there's no place to put it. most landfills in alaska can't excepted, so we have to then ship it to the lower 48 states. by the way, same issue with pfas. we ship pfas to oregon. none of this makes sense, particularly when most building materials that we got in alaska are imported from asia mostly. so the technology now exists to have a local solution, convert some of this plastic waste into components for building materials. is just one idea. given this situation in alaska end of the remote communities, how would you help us solve this problem? because it's a big problem for my state but i'm sure it's a big problem for other states as well. why don't we just go down the line starting with you, mr. hartz? >> thanks for your question. i share your concerns as well. i'm an avid outdoor person and i see
