what’s colloquially called a "heat dome" over about two-thirds
of the country. It’s a high-pressure system that squats over
an area and can lead to high temperatures. High-pressure
systems have sinking air, and when the air drops down, it
compresses and heats up. This is causing elevated temperatures
from the Southwest to the East Coast, and elevated humidity in
much of that area as well.</font></font><font size="-2">..</font><font

cloak of denial, an anti-science shield, the Koch Brothers’
chest full of money, and James Inhofe’s weapon of choice, a
spiked snowball...These are some of the accessories that come
with the newly announced Climate Inaction Figures: Toy-sized
likenesses of prominent political figures who claim, despite
overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that there is no reason
to act on climate change...The figures and the campaign are the
work of the team behind the Emmy-Award winning documentary
series, Years of Living Dangerously...Besides offering a
much-needed laugh during these days of convention craziness, the
project hopes to inspire people to learn more about — and take
action — on carbon pricing policy work.</font></font><b><font

century. But more importantly, he said 2016 so far is about 1.5
degrees Celsius ( 2.7 degrees) warmer than pre-industrial
times...Schmidt and NOAA climate scientist Jake Crouch said 2016
will likely be the hottest year on record for a third consecutive
year. Schmidt said his statistical calculations put the chance of

current early online issue of Global Ecology and Biogeography,
birds that have increased in abundance over the last 30 years
now occupy a wider range of climate conditions than they did 30
years ago, and declining species are occupying a smaller range
of climate conditions than 30 years ago, Ralston says.<b> </b>Read
