Global oceans are so hot right now, scientists around the world
are struggling to explain it. WFLA Chief Meteorologist Jeff
Berardelli discusses whether the surge is evidence that
human-caused heating has pushed the climate past a tipping
point.<br>

A conversation with MIT's Priya Donti.<br>
</font><font face="Calibri">As you might have noticed, the world is
in the midst of a massive wave of hype about artificial
intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) — hype tinged with no
small amount of terror.<br>
<br>
Here at Volts, though, we’re less worried about theoretical
machines that gain sentience and decide to wipe out humanity than
we are with the actually existing apocalypse of climate change.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Are AI and ML helping in the climate fight, or
hurting? Are they generating substantial greenhouse gas emissions
on their own? Are they helping to discover and exploit more fossil
fuels? Are they unlocking fantastic capabilities that might one
day revolutionize climate models or the electricity grid?<br>
<br>
Yes! They are doing all those things. To try to wrap my head
around the extent of their current carbon emissions, the ways they
are hurting and helping the climate fight, and how policy might
channel them in a positive direction, I contact Priya Donti, an
assistant professor at MIT and executive director of Climate
Change AI, a nonprofit that investigates these very questions...<br>

<b>Airpocalypse: David Wallace-Wells on Red Skies, Raging Wildfires
& Pollution Link to Climate Crisis</b><br>
Democracy Now!<br>
Jun 8, 2023 Latest Shows<br>
Record-breaking Canadian wildfires continue to fill skies across
much of North America with smoke, putting about 100 million people
under air quality alerts. New York City recorded the worst air
quality of any major city in the world as a result of the haze.
Around the world, air pollution is already responsible for as many
as 10 million deaths per year, and the problem is likely to get
worse, says New York Times opinion writer David Wallace-Wells. He
explains how today's smoky skies are a glimpse of our future in the
climate crisis, when warmer temperatures and dry conditions will
continue to increase the size and severity of wildfires across the
globe. "It's not just that we're getting more fires, and it's not
even that they're getting larger. They're also getting much more
intense, which means that they are cooking much of the landscape,"
says Wallace-Wells, author of The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After
Warming. We also hear from Cree/Iroquois/French journalist Brandi
Morin, who just returned from reporting on the wildfires raging in
the remote Indigenous community of Fort Chipewyan in Canada's North,
which she calls the "epicenter of the effects of climate change
because it's downstream from one of the largest oil production
developments in the world, Alberta's oil sands."<br>

Results from Extensive Snow Cover Melt over North America</b><br>
Paul Beckwith<br>
Jul 4, 2023<br>
The jet stream waviness these days is utterly insane, and causing
huge negative consequences for humanity. <br>
<br>
The main purpose of this video chat is to discuss a brand new peer
reviewed paper just released last week that connects a huge high
pressure dome that occurs often in summer months over Greenland
with the ever increasing rapid snow cover melt over North America
in the spring months, mostly May and June. The jet streams
basically form an omega block, with exceptional high pressure,
cloudless skies, and heat over Greenland, and extreme weather
events associated with this jet stream pattern at lower latitudes.<br>
<br>
Arctic Temperature Amplification has greatly increased, and now
main stream scientific papers and articles are saying it is 4x
(they incorrectly said, en masse, that it was 2x for many years).
One of the jet stream patterns that commonly establishes now is an
omega block with a high pressure region over Greenland. Not only
does this pattern lead to surface ice melt on Greenland doubling
over the rates used in the large scale sophisticated climate
models, but it is warming a large region of the North Atlantic
Ocean, which is seeing SST’s (Sea Surface Temperatures) 5 to 6 C
above previous highs, which is basically off the scale. <br>
<br>
With jet streams being much wavier and setting up persistent
blocks, we are seeing very intense, widespread heatwaves around
the planet, for example in Mexico and Texas, where temperatures
have reached about 50 C and temperature/humidity conditions have
essentially briefly reached wet bulb uninhabitable states.
Heatwaves are occurring in numerous other places like China and
India. Much of the boreal forest regions in Canada have had
heatwaves resulting in uncontrollable unprecedented wildfires
burning over 8 million hectares, or about 3% of Canada’s boreal
forests. <br>
<br>
In the southern hemisphere, wavy jet streams are bringing
extensive heat down to Antarctica, and sea ice extent has dropped
off a cliff by 4 or 5 standard deviations below previous record
lows. <br>
<br>
Add an El Niño to the equation, and it is obvious that numerous
climate records will be obliterated over the next few years, and
humanity is in for a very precarious and rough ride.<br>

<font size="+2"><i><b>July 6, 2010 </b></i></font> <br>
July 6, 2010: Washington Post writer Ezra Klein observes:<br>
</font>
<blockquote><font face="Calibri"> "There's a range of likely
outcomes from a tax on carbon, and we can handle most of them.
There's also a range of outcomes from radical changes in the
planet's climate, and we've really no idea which we can handle,
and which we can't. We don't even really know what that range
looks like. And although a tax can be undone or reformed,
there's no guarantee that we can reverse hundreds of years of
rapid greenhouse gas buildup in the atmosphere. If you want
proof, look at our inability to deal with an underwater oil
spill, and consider how much more experience we have repairing
oil rigs than reversing concentrations of gases in the
atmosphere.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri"> </font><br>
<font face="Calibri"> "One of the oddities of the global warming
debate, in fact, is that the side that's usually skeptical of
government intervention is potentially setting up a future in
which the government is intervening on a planetary scale. I
don't think of myself as particularly skeptical of the feds, but
I'm a lot more comfortable with their ability to levy a tax than
their capacity to reform the atmosphere. That's why, when faced
with the choice between being risk averse about a tax or about
the planet, I tend to choose the planet."</font><br>
