"An exceptionally powerful January storm will impact the US with nearly every winter weather threat imaginable"


Global warming is not just hotter days it leads to colder Winters and more rain and snow fall.

Things are heating up....

" Global warming in 2023 hit 1.48 degrees Celsius, data published Tuesday shows, as the hottest year on record propelled the world just hundredths of a degree away from a critical climate threshold.

Analyses last year had already confirmed 2023 to be the warmest on record, but Tuesday’s data shows an alarming leap in heating from 2016, previously the hottest year. In 2023, the average global temperature was 14.98 degrees Celsius — 0.17 degrees above the previous record — while warming in the world’s oceans also hit a new high. "

That report is pretty shocking to read.

Im sorry, I don't wish to make this a political argument but I have to ask, how can you guys read that report (
https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/09/climate/ ... index.html) and still vote for Trump who wants to go back to burning fossil fuels ?

I read somewhere that Australia is likely to see even hotter summers than the northern hemisphere. I think its something to do with earth's orbit being slightly closer to the sun during your summer months. That ontop of global warming is likely to make it very hot down under. Lets hope you dont get the kind of wildfires we've seen in previous years
