Greetings to all! I’m glad you stopped by. This week, we’ll continue with winter weather safety information, the latest US Drought Monitor update, and several very interesting science reads. Let’s get started.
- In recent years, science denialism has reached at all time high. Why do people choose this mindset? Read on.
- 2024 was the hottest year on record for our planet. While the reasons behind the records are still being evaluated, the connection to climate change and the use of fossil fuels is very clear.
- Climate change and a warming planet don’t sound like they’d go with more frequent cold spells, but they have a direct connection.
- A long awaited La Nina has finally arrived in the eastern tropical Pacific ocean. Here’s what that means for the Americas.
- The ongoing wildfires in California are rare for this time of year. This is a good read on how those fires were influenced by weather patterns.
- Here’s the latest update on the US Drought Monitor. Like last week, drought conditions have stayed much the same this week across most of the contiguous USA. Improvement has occurred in small areas, but many regions are still in extreme to exceptional drought conditions. The latest fire weather outlooks can be found at the Storm Prediction Center website where they are updated daily.
