For those of us who are concerned about <em>global warming</em>,
two of the most critical questions we ask are, “how fast is
the Earth warming?...A new study from my colleagues and I
vindicates climate models, which are accurately predicting the
rate of ocean heat accumulation..., we presented a new
estimate of ocean heating throughout its full depth (most
studies only consider the top portion of the ocean). Second,
we used a new technique to learn about ocean temperature
changes in areas where there are very few measurements.
Finally, we used a large group of computer models to predict
warming rates, and we found excellent agreement between the
predictions and the measurements....According to the
measurements, the Earth has gained 0.46 Watts per square meter
between 1970 and 2005. Since, 1992 the rate is higher (0.75
Watts per square meter) and therefore shows an acceleration of
the warming. To put this in perspective, this is the
equivalent of 5,400,000,000,000 (or 5,400 billion) 60-watt
light bulbs running continuously day and night. In my view,
these numbers are the most accurate measurements of the rate
at which the Earth is warming.</font></div>

href="https://www.inverse.com/article/18789-climate-change-global-warming-violence-extreme-weather-heat-economics">The
5 Ways Global Warming Fuels Violence</a></b></font><br>
<font face="arial,sans-serif" size="-2">When it's hot, people work
less and fight more. ... The first six months of the year were the
hottest on record since at least 1880 and by a very wide margin.
We also know that people are more prone to violence in the heat
and that horrifying attacks have splashed bloodily into our
newsfeeds on a daily basis....Here are five ways that a changing
climate will fuel physical, cultural, and economic violence....</font><font
face="arial,sans-serif" size="-2"><br>
1 Civil Blood - There are different possible explanations for the
strong correlation between temperature and violence, but one is a
simple matter of physiology: there’s evidence that humans are
quicker tempered when it’s hot out...<br>
2 Crop Failure - Part of the relationship between temperature
and violence is direct, but another part is indirect. For example,
if a country suffers years of drought and the crops fail, this
leads to economic and social instability, which in turn increases
chances of armed conflict. <br>
3 Economic Downturn - When it gets hot out, economic productivity
goes down; it’s just harder to get anything done in the sweltering
heat. Wealthy countries are somewhat insulated from this because
more of their workers spend their days in air-conditioned spaces,
but the economy of every country on earth depends significantly on
outdoor labor. This is important because economic strife can fuel
social and political strife and lead to more violence..<br>
4 Diminished Resources - There are lots of things that countries
can do to mitigate the effects of climate change, but the
countries that will be hardest hit will also tend to be those
lacking the resources to effectively deal with the problem. Poor
countries are rightly feeling pretty peeved that rich countries
got wealthy on the back of cheap fossil fuels, but they’re the
ones disproportionately suffering the consequences.... <br>
5 Rising Inequality - You might be thinking that this all sounds
pretty bad, but only for those on the losing side of the coin.
However, there’s lots of research to suggest that inequality
affects the happiness of the winners, too. Most of us are bothered
by an unjust system, even if it’s one we benefit from. In a world
where information flows freely across most of the planet, everyone
has an interest in fighting inequality.</font><br>

<font color="#666666" size="-1">Boston Globe</font><font size="-1">
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is joining with her
New York counterpart in refusing to comply with a congressional
subpoena seeking records from their investigation into whether
Exxon Mobil misled the public about its knowledge of the
detrimental effects of climate change...Healey and others also
allege that “Exxon appears to have engaged with other fossil fuel
interests in a campaign from at least the 1990s onward to prevent
government action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”...In March,
Healey announced that her office would investigate whether Exxon
adequately disclosed its climate change research to investors and
consumers...It’s unclear what happens next inthe confrontation
between Healey and Smith. Typically congressional committees can
seek to hold subjects of a subponea in contempt for refusing to
comply. But Healey has questioned whether a congressional
committee even has the authority to subpoena records of an ongoing
investigation by a state official....Smith, who has expressed
doubts about climate change, has issued numerous subpoenas for
research into global warming, including to the National
Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, which last year
refused to turn over documents.</font><br>

Jeff Masters mentioned in his recent blog, a temperature of 54.0°C
(129.2°F) was observed at Mitribah, Kuwait on July 21st. According
to the Kuwait Meteorological Department this was the hottest
temperature ever measured in the country (a reading of
54.4°C/129.9°F observed at the same site on July 16, 2010 has been
disallowed as a result of a faulty sensor). The 54.0°C reading
also is a new record for Asia and ties a similar reading at Death
Valley (on June 30, 2013) as the hottest reliably measured
temperature on Earth. The key word here is ‘reliably’. Many hotter
temperatures have been reported from around the world in years
past. However, all of these have credibility issues.<br>
