FYI. Death Valley reached 128f Saturday. This is two shy of the reliable planetary temperature record of 130 in July 2021. You may see a number of 134F in some news articles. No mets I know accept it. Papers published years back solidly discredited it.

The satellite data is ground temperature, not air temperature which is measured at the height of two meters.

I know of no mets who accept the 134. The papers published about it were solid and 130 in July 2021 is the most likely planetary temperature record. Excluding of course the line for Dumbo at Disney World in August.

Surprised at how widespread the belief is that the 1930’s were warmer than today. Not even close.

When we talk about passing a global temperature of over 2C above the preindustrial, we are including land and ocean. If you look just at the northern hemisphere land temperature you can see it’s much hotter. This is why we are already seeing signif. Impacts

Just replace immigrants with Jews every time you hear it on Fox News and you see what happened in Germany in the 1930’s. Too few have any real knowledge of history though to realise it and those who fought the fascists are dead now and for the most part, so are their kids.
And there you are.

I’ve never seen them. My goal is to see them someday and I know you usually see them in high latitudes.

Beryl went from a tropical depression to category 4 hurricane in 42 hours. Earliest Cat 4 on record for the tropical Atlantic.
That’s what HOT oceans do. Climate change is often subtle, but sometimes it isn’t.
Incredible convective towers in the east eyewall. That thing is trying for cat 5!

The #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD today is of some Adélie penguins! One of two “true” Antarctic penguins, these birds live on ice free land that just-so perfectly contains pebbles for nests. Which they steal from each other.

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

What would they have done during the depression in the 1930s?
If they can’t figure out the qualitative difference between living under a wannabe dictator and the current temporarily high inflation they will deserve everything they’re going to get.

Many have a real issue with using EFFECT/AFFECT properly. They often look for a safer word, and choose IMPACT instead. The NGRAM viewer shows word use through time. I don't think you could find a better graph to illustrate the deterioration in our educational systems than this.

#Desantis is (I’m shocked!) wrong.
The oceans are the hottest on record and this means extra water vapour in the air. In this case the physics is the Clausius/Clapeyron equation.
The laws of physics are real. Everything else is politics- N.D. Tyson.
