Do I want to do this again? Yeah, I do. Some people like going to car races to see the crashes over and over again. People love watching big hits in the NHL and NFL. So, yeah, again. This is why I call it Hotcoldwetdry
Rare snowstorm hits Louisiana, raising climate change concerns
New Orleans went from almost 70 degrees to a record snowstorm within four days. In a few months, hurricane season will start, bringing a new trend of rapidly intensifying storms.
Why it matters: The weather whiplash, with a record-shattering extreme event, has scientists weighing in on the effects of climate change.
The big picture: The deadly winter storm dropped 10 inches across New Orleans metro, more snow than the region has seen in a century. (snip)
The heavy snow was also in keeping with trends toward more frequent and intense precipitation events, which can come in the form of rain or snow. This is a well-established climate science finding.
Yup, cray-cray.
How bad is Florida’s winter storm? Even DeSantis is waking up on climate change. | Letters
I was surprised to see that Gov. Ron “There’s No Such Thing as Climate Change” DeSantis declared a state of emergency because of the cold weather descending upon the Sunshine State.
I congratulate him on waking up to the reality we are facing and its destructive impact on the state and its economy.
After experiencing the hottest summer on record and now in the middle of an almost continuingly cold winter, it was both amazing and appalling that he hadn’t noticed before that the weather does seem to be changing.
Sigh.
