UnGlacier, UnSequoia and UnSaguaro National Parks?Identity crisis: Climate destroying wonders that gave US parks their names
Glacier National Park's ice fortress is crumbling. The giant trees of Sequoia National Park are ablaze. And even the tenacious cacti of Saguaro National Park are struggling to endure a decades-long drought.
Since their creation, national parks have embodied the pioneering spirit of America in their vast expanses and breathtaking landscapes.
But today, the climate crisis imperils the very symbols of many parks, leaving them facing a future where their names could be cruel ironies....

Extreme heat hits (AGW denying) Texas and Florida early in the season
God is just.
God is just.
No AC... High heat and humidity, including heat indexes around 100 degrees, are also expected in Houston in the coming days. The city is still reeling from last week’s deadly storms, with tens of thousands of residents still without power.
Studies have shown that climate change is making early-season heat more likely, in addition to fueling more frequent, intense and longer-lasting heat waves.
The consequences can be deadly. Heat kills more people each year in the United States than any other weather disaster, according to the weather service.

Unprecedented ocean temperatures make this hurricane season especially dangerous
The world's oceans have consistently been breaking daily heat records since early 2023, a yearlong fever that has climate scientists, coral reef experts and even hurricane forecasters concerned and dismayed.
In the main region of the Atlantic Ocean where hurricanes develop, water temperatures are "absolutely stunning," said Brian McNoldy, a senior research associate studying hurricanes at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School....
Areas of warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures – known as anomalies – are seen across the Atlantic on May 29, 2024, in this graphic from ClimateReanalyzer.org, a project of the Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine, based on NOAA satellite data.
Water temperature anomalies in the Atlantic Ocean's main hurricane development region are now the warmest on record going into hurricane season, said Michael Lowry, a hurricane specialist at WPLG Local 10 in Miami, in a column for Yale Climate Connections.
Crap.

Re: The Global Warming thread.
If I had just seen it written, I would have thought it must surely be satire. But in video, with Miami underwater, DeSantis says it's just usual summer rainstorms. I don't think the people standing in waist-high water beside their drowned cars bought it.

Moron, dangerous moron.

It's not just Florida:Florida soaked with epic rainstorms: Yep, it's climate change
Days after being pummeled with eight inches of rainfall in only just hours — the kind of extreme downpour that supposedly occurs once every 500 years — South Florida continues to be deluged with historic storms and flooding.
The region of the state remains under a flood advisory on Friday after a series of storms dumped between eight and 20 inches of rain over large sections of Florida over the previous three days. Meteorologists expect another two to four inches of rain by Friday night, and some areas may get as much as 10 inches....
86°/67°here today. Eighties/sixties for next 10 days.A powerful heat dome is just one of the extreme weather hazards coming next week
... Prolonged, record-breaking heat is on the way for an area of the country that has largely avoided it so far, wildfire risks are rising in parts of the West and bathtub-warm water could fuel the first tropical depression of the Atlantic hurricane season....
This one will make temperatures skyrocket to levels hotter than even the hottest typical summer day.
Hundreds of temperature records could fall by the end of next week, both during the day and at night.
Temperatures will top out 15 to 20 degrees above normal over a huge portion of the eastern half of the country Monday afternoon, but surge even higher to reach 25 degrees above normal at times from Tuesday through Friday.
This translates to days of high temperatures well into the 90s for tens of millions of people who don’t typically bake in long-lasting heat.
Relief from the heat won’t be found at night, which is another symptom of a warming world. Overnight low temperatures aren’t expected to drop below the low 70s or upper 60s in many locations.
To make matters worse, humidity will work in tandem with extreme heat to send the heat index – how heat feels to the human body – to dangerous triple digits in parts of the East. Heat index values in the low 100s are possible as far north as Maine next week.
The health risks from heat will reach extreme levels for millions next week, according to a scale from the National Weather Service and CDC. Heat is the deadliest form of weather in the US, killing more than twice as many people each year on average as hurricanes and tornadoes combined....
