Heat Records Have Entered New, Frighening Territory Say Scientists

[martin]

Ho hum say the dullards.

"A remarkable spate of historic heat is hitting the planet, raising alarm over looming extreme weather dangers — and an increasing likelihood this year will be Earth’s warmest on record.

New precedents have been set in recent weeks and months, surprising some scientists with their swift evolution: Historically warm oceans, with North Atlantic temperatures already nearing their typical annual peak; unparalleled low sea ice levels around Antarctica, where global warming impacts had, until now, been slower to appear; and the planet experiencing its warmest June ever charted, according to new data...


“We have never seen anything like this before,” said Carlo Buontempo, director of Europe’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. He said any number of charts and graphs on Earth’s climate are showing, quite literally, that “we are in uncharted territory.”...

Go to work, Marty and buy an air conditioner.

You will be fine.

Don’t be a dullard…Marty.

I remember Rightwingers screaming at me in the 1990s that global warming was totally fake.

We like our air and will use it at our pleasure.

Why are so many immigrants pouring into America if our air is so bad?

Compare our air quality with China.

it is the tragedy of the commons.

Our monetary system is designed to give us an uneven playing field.

Pointing to China is pretty dumb too - they produce using sub standard wages so we can over consume. Not really anything to brag about

Pointing to China's wages is pretty dumb too.

The thread is about heat and air quality.

You disparaged our air quality and I responded by comparing Chin's to ours.

Yopu have a problem with thgat?

China produces much of what we consume. We over consume. Do you agree with that, or do you think it is completely normal for 5% of the World Population to use so much copper, aluminum, oil, and on and on and on and on and rack up trillions in debt so we can continue to live this way?

Do conservatives even care about conservation anymore?

 

[Callinectes]

Holy crap! Someone call Al Gore and see if we can get an extension! And someone else call Elon Musk and tell him to get to work on human powered airliners and shit!
