2023-06-28 at 12:09 PM UTC in World to hit temperature tipping point 10 years faster than forecastEarth's Jet Streams Look as Chaotic as a Van Gogh Right Now, And That's a Big Problem
The southern part of the jet stream over North America has completely broken apart and is currently trapped in a vicious revolution that has triggered an off-the-chart heatwave.
While it's normal for the air currents to stop, split apart, recombine and flow in opposite directions, on average these tropospheric air streams are typically quite continuous over long distances with an overall west to east flow. The current fragmentation is unlike anything specialists have seen before.
The climatologist Maximiliano Herrera apparently told Berardelli that the heat wave in some parts of Mexico is like a "category 7". Category 5 is the highest actual ranking on the heat index scale, defined as "beyond extreme" heat.
Herrera is essentially arguing we're now beyond previous extremes.
"It's simply something in its own league, nothing like this even can attempt to compare," Herrera is quoted as saying. "Records obliterated all over with insane margins and beaten as many as 7 days in a row."
Meanwhile, sea surface temperatures have also soared into uncharted territory, and don't seem to be returning to normal levels any time soon. This has already caused mass fish deaths and marine mammal poisonings and all before the El Niño has properly set in.
"It is now clear that Earth's climate system is way out of kilter and we should be very concerned," Central Queensland University Environmental Geographist Steve Turton explained for The Conversation.
From pole to pole, the winds of change are here. The climate crisis is no longer a future problem. It's happening now, right before our eyes. -

But really only wear them 1 day a week.
I wear these light weight composite toe boots for work, and I replaced the insoles with better ones:
They're great unless I have to walk through a lot of snow but that doesn't happen as much anymore.
I also wear grass-stained old shoes I don't even know what they were originally while doing yard work, something like these:

"But far more than even these significant loopholes is at stake," Melanie Benesh, vice president for government affairs at the Environmental Working Group (EWG), said. "Their bill would open the door to even more loopholes for companies that have used PFAS or other hazardous substances, making it much harder to clean up contaminated communities."

Don't care enough.
