The cloudy, milky sky this week across upstate New York and much of the northeastern United States could become increasingly more frequent as wildfires become more powerful. We will likely see this sort of thing increasingly often, said Nick Bassill, the director of research and development at the UAlbany Center for Excellence. Right now is one of the worst droughts across the western United States.
Bassill said the massive wildfires, made worse by man-made climate change, can affect what s happening on the other side of the continent. Sometimes when you have really big fires out west, those are very strong fires driven by really intense heat and that helps to inject smoke high into the atmosphere, he said.

UAlbany Meteorologist: NOAAâs Observed Warming Trend a Sign of Global Climate Change

ALBANY, N.Y. (May 6, 2021) – A new report released this week by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows that the United States is getting warmer and parts of it are getting wetter.
NOAA’s “new normals” set of data tracks changes in the U.S. climate over a 30-year period. The latest report is based on data from 1991 to 2020 and replaces the 1981 to 2010 report. It shows a small, but noticeable warming trend across much of the country, which is consistent with the majority of NOAA’s previous reports over the last 100 years.

ALBANY Pot may be legal now in New York, but buying, selling and consuming the drug is still prohibited on campuses, which are bound by federal laws.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on March 31 signed a bill legalizing the use of recreational marijuana in New York for those age 21 and older, but federal law still classifies cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug.
The federal Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act requires any institution that receives federal funding to have a drug policy that addresses marijuana use.
