*Climate Change: Choosing to Fail, with Climate Scientist Kevin Anderson*
Climate Chat
Streaming 3-11-24
In this Climate Chat episode, we interview climate scientist Kevin 
Anderson for a 2nd time. Out first, audio-only, interview in May 2021 
was one of the most listened to Climate Chat programs. Kevin tells it 
like it is and does not sugarcoat the situation. We will discuss carbon 
budgets and global temperatures, the desirability of carbon dioxide 
removal (CDR) and Sunlight Reflection Methods (SRM), and get Kevin's 
view on James Hansen's recent "Pipeline" paper. We will also discuss why 
society has so far chosen to fail on addressing climate change and what 
we can do if we decide to choose to succeed.

*Wisconsin Report: Ground and Social Conditions*
American Resiliency
  Mar 11, 2024
Folks, if Wisconsin's not on your radar, it oughta be.  I was very 
impressed by the social and ground conditions I observed in Wisconsin 
last week.  Here's some notes from my journey with highlights on the 
Driftless, Green Bay, and Madison.

/[  Whiplash is a new weather term ]/
*Weather Whiplashing and Jetstream Waviness*
Climate Emergency Forum
The Climate Emergency Forum welcomes Dr. Jennifer Francis to discuss two 
of her recent papers on Weather Whiplashing, which is defined as an 
abrupt shift from one persistent set of often extreme weather conditions 
to another.

This video was recorded on February 27th, 2024, and published on March 
10th, 2024.

Dr. Francis introduces the concept of weather whiplashing and provides 
examples like sudden temperature drops and shifts from drought to heavy 
rain, highlighting the impact of these events on regions like Florida 
and California. Dr. Francis explains how weather whiplash events are 
diagnosed by analyzing patterns in the jet stream using self-organizing 
maps, emphasizing the role of the Arctic's warming in increasing the 
frequency of these events.

The dialogue delves into the intricate relationship between atmospheric 
patterns, jet stream dynamics, and weather phenomena. Dr. Francis 
illustrates how anomalies in the upper-level atmosphere can lead to 
significant shifts in weather patterns, affecting regions like Florida 
with freeze events and temperature extremes. She discusses the use of AI 
tools to analyze atmospheric patterns over time and predict future 
trends in weather whiplash events, particularly focusing on scenarios 
where the Arctic's warming plays a crucial role in driving these shifts.

Participants engage in a thought-provoking discussion on the 
complexities of jet stream behavior, climate factors influencing 
atmospheric dynamics, and implications for global weather patterns. 
Questions raised by participants highlight key aspects such as 
variations in jet stream configurations, heat transfer between equator 
and poles, and the impact of Arctic warming on jet stream speed and 
waviness.

Dr. Francis addresses inquiries about ocean currents' correlation with 
jet stream patterns and explains how subtleties in jet streams affect 
phenomena like record low transit times for airplanes flying across 
continents. The dialogue underscores the interdisciplinary nature of 
climate research and the interconnectedness of various environmental 
factors shaping our planet's weather systems.

/*March 12, 2016 */
March 12, 2016:
In a New York Times op-ed, climate scientist Heidi Cullen observes:

    And sometimes it is easier to blame climate change than acknowledge
    inaction in the face of factors unrelated to the weather. For
    example, in a severe drought plaguing southeastern Brazil —
    including São Paulo, with a surrounding metropolitan population of
    about 20 million — some were quick to blame global warming. But in
    analyzing the underlying causes of this drought, my colleagues and I
    found, in a study published last year, that climate change was not a
    major influence. Instead, population growth, increasing water
    consumption and leaky pipes were the real culprits.

    Science is giving us an increasingly clear picture of how global
    warming is changing the weather. Still greater investment in
    research is needed to ensure that we’re making the best possible
    decisions to protect our communities. We may not always like what we
    learn, but we can be certain that unless we take immediate action to
    slow climate change, its influence on our lives will only intensify.

          Heidi Cullen is chief scientist at Climate Central, a climate
    research and communications organization, and the author of “The
    Weather of the Future.”
