Greetings to one and all! Whether it’s winter or summer, I hope the weather is to your liking. We’ve had quite a contrast across the globe with quite a winter blast across much of North America contrasting with record heat in Australia. There are plenty of other topics to review, so let’s get started.

- Here’s a fascinating read on the new meteorological techniques used to study some of the deadliest floods in USA history.

- The Arctic ocean is changing along with our climate…and that’s not good.
- The battle over the “green new deal” is heating up…and it won’t be the last we hear of this story for some time.
- An element of our weather and climate that is overlooked by much of the general public are the immense rivers of air tens of thousands of feet above the ground. Here’s an interesting and very logical idea on increasing public awareness of this everyday atmospheric phenomenon.
- The recent cold snap across North America associated with the Polar Vortex brought about a great deal of discussion. Here’s an excellent overview of that event and its connection to climate change.
