Historic Heat - Passing the Threshold
Join Dr. Peter Carter, Paul Beckwith and Regina Valdez in a discussion on the recent temperature records set on land and in the ocean as of June and early July 2023.
This video was recorded on July 12th, 2023, and published on July 16th, 2023, and represents the opinions of the discussion participants.
Some of the topics discussed:
How the media had quite a few heydays at the beginning of the month of July 2023 because of one record hottest day after another occurring which was confirmed by the World Meteorological Organization.
How Berkeley Earth issued their report saying that June 2023 was the warmest June ever with the global average temperature reaching 1.47°C. How this is a huge record temperature.
How crazy things were happening in the North Atlantic temperature which set a record by a huge margin.
How James Hansen has been pointing out for some time how our global warming situation is accelerating.
How the storms that passed recently through Eastern Canada, the eastern U.S. including Vermont and up into Quebec was another example of a place that didn’t do well in the climate casino getting two months of its regular rainfall in two days.
How the temperature and humidity combinations are getting extremely detrimental to human health.
and much more. . .
