All signs continue to point to an exceptional, long-duration, and record-breaking to (in some cases) record-shattering March heatwave initially centered across U.S. Southwest but expanding to much broader region next week. This is effectively a full-on summer heatwave in March.
@weatherwest Heatwave in March right after a 2-day deep freeze, that is.
The only thing the southern Midwest is typically subjected to in March is frost.
#GlobalWarming #ClimateChange extremes are here, baby. -
I really wish American hadn't been consistently ruled by fossil fuel morons and had instead listened to James Hansen in 1988.
@alienghic @weatherwest 100%!
Or even better, to Donella Meadows, et al. in 1972! A body can dream, right? (sigh) -

Even though our world trajectories looks quite similar to one of their collapse scenarios.

When my weather app is listing "collapse of the ocean current" as trending weather...that's not good.
@deirdrebeth @weatherwest 's funny but I've had a lot of time on my hands recently (eye operation) and have watched The Day After Tomorrow again for the first time in ages. Re-evaluated it and decided it is a caricature. Yes, lots of utterly ridiculous stuff (for starters an all-American hero like Dennis Quaid would never drive a Honda) but I've been looking at AMOC trends and...yeah. Looks like AMOC is weakening, and has been for decades. And one particular drop coincided with the coldest UK December in 100 years, and a 13cm rise in sea levels in New York.
The key Atlantic current that could change Europe’s climate forever
Western Europe could face winters as cold as Canada because of the impact of climate change on a key Atlantic current, known as the AMOC, which helps regulate our weather.

@alienghic Yep, the rich people, and even worse, their apologists. The economist whose paper trashed LTG (disingenuously & inaccurately) went on to win the Nobel Prize & teach at Harvard! Neoclassical Economics virtually dismisses any effects of AGW on "the economy!"
And yes! How many people today realize that we are living in a collapse scenario?

I've noticed that economists who write excuses for why the rich should be rich get showered with a great deal of money and press coverage.

Hah. And we thought it would be the water wars - no, it will be starvation as every crop from Senoma to St. Louis fails.
Yay.

@alienghic Exactly! And the scale is almost inconceivable! Academic economics is virtually captured by believers in the Neoclassical paradigm. Dissenting views are typically banished.
And who do politicians listen to? You guessed it! And they're "Climate Change Doesn't Matter"-ing us into oblivion...
Sometime when you have an hour, Prof Steve Keen, a "heterodox" economist, is worth a listen:
