Climate notes

Cyclone Trevor and Cyclone Veronica have smashed into northern Australia – very unusual.

Tropical Storm Iba develops off the coast of Brazil, the 1st in almost 10 years. There have been only a dozen or so in the instrument record that climatologist know of.

This comes as Greenhouse gasses are on the rise from coal fired power plants. Greenhouse gasses and sunlight interact to excite the molecules to dance and this generates heat. The greenhouse gas process has been known for over 150 years.

This reflects the fact that climate policies around the globe, despite some limited pockets of progress, remain woefully inadequate,” “They’re not even robust enough to offset the increased emissions from economic expansion, especially in the developing world, let alone to spur de-carbonization at levels commensurate with the temperature stabilization goals we’ve committed to under the Paris Agreement.”

“We are in deep trouble, “The climate consequences are catastrophic. I don’t use any word like that very often. But we are headed for disaster, and nobody seems to be able to slow things down.” ~ Rob Jackson Earth system science Stanford University.
