I heard "in 12 hours" this morning, and thought, WTF am I doing here!?

"Hurricane Otis has intensified by 80 mph in the past 12 hours (from 65 mph to 145 mph)," Colorado State University hurricane specialist Phil Klotzbach wrote on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday evening when the storm intensified to a Category 4 hurricane. That's the fastest 12-hour intensification rate in the eastern North Pacific (to 180°) in the satellite era (since 1966), breaking the old record of 75 mph/12 hours set by Patricia in 2015."


seems to be a record-breaker on a number of fronts

that region of Mexico has never, in recorded history, seen a hurricane of this magnitude

All offset (and then some) by China’s ramping up of coal production and use.

the top 1% are responsible (whatever that means) for 16% of global CO2 emissions

coincidentally, the poorest 2/3 of humanity is also responsible for 16%

there seems to be a growing consensus that a complete loss of the West Antarctic ice shelf is now inevitable by the end of the century

this loss alone would result in 3-4 meters of sea level rise…meters, not feet

I'm not worried, if you don't look at climate change, it isn't there.

Besides, I heard climate change is a "hoax", and only snowflake libs buy it.
