Climate notes for January 19th 2024

I was in NYC this week and the temperature dropped to -9 at one point. Wind chill is always the killer in these parts of the world. But what was surprising was the number of absolute buffoons who assumed this was the conclusion of global warming. We fixed it because oce-age level temps have hit!

Meanwhile parts of Australia is facing 50-degree temperatures. People, at this point, must be wilfully ignorant of what’s going on.
