If you haven't read over the 2018 National Climate Assessment report, it's chock full of great information, important insights, and advice for how the US should be engaged with climate change. https://nca2018.globalchange.gov

If you look at Chapter 8. Coastal Effects, you might also notice a version of my Equality meme included there. It's a tremendous honor to be of use to this important work. https://nca2018.globalchange.gov/chapter/8/

When I was born, my town saw ~14 days per year above 90 'F.

Now, we see ~24 days per year above 90 'F.

By the time I'm 80 (another 30 years), we'll see ~42 of these days, over a month.

And Cincinnati isn't hit particularly hard. Want to see your town? Follow the link.

It's just getting steadily hotter every year all around the world, which, I guess is somehow different than warming globally. The climate isn't changing, it's just doing what it naturally does every several tens of thousands of years before becoming a desolate, virtually barren, ice-covered planet, only much, much more rapidly than ever before.

FTA: "Much like other issues concerning climate change, Thornalley say preventing the AMOC slowdown depends on reducing greenhouse gas emissions."

What are YOU doing to help that? Are you working to get environmentally responsible politicians elected? Are you driving an electric car? Are you reducing your fossil fuel-based power consumption? Are you helping spread the word and educate your fellow humans about the calamity that climate change represents?

" Research keeps finding a stronger climate signal in more and more disasters, from drought and wildfire to floods and avalanches. “If these cases survive, there’s a long list of climate change impacts that could become the subject of such litigation,” Burger says. The bill for adapting to them, whoever ends up paying it, will be large. "
