Heat dome burns off mountain snow in western U.S., flashing warning for fire season
Mountains that normally see their peak snowpack in March are brown this year, thanks to a spring heat dome that baked western U.S. for much of the second half of the month. That's raising alarm bells for the fire season that's already ramping up.

Since those days, and the present ability to obtain #allergy-safe (for me) #silicone #ElastomericRespirators, the tool has sat unused among many items from those early desperate days.

As locals will recall, 2020 was when #Edmonton experienced the beginning of the #pandemic.

2021 was our first-ever #HeatDome.

2022 and thereafter to the present has seen long stretches of #ExtremeHeat and the switch from #SummerSeason to #WildfireSeason, adding frequently horrendous #AirQuality to the sustained heat.

PBS NewsHour - The Latest | How climate change has powered the heat wave blanketing much of the U.S. by Ali Rogin, Karina Cuevas

A massive heat dome has been spreading across much of the United States this month, with temperatures reaching historic highs. But it's not an isolated spike. In recent weeks, the country has grappled with a series of extreme weather events. Ali Rogin spoke with Bernadette Woods Placky of Climate Central for our series, Tipping Point.

📌 Good background article on #ClimateChange #AttributionScience wrt growing trend in #extremeheat #heatdome #heatwave #wildfires #drought #flood

#fossilfuels companies that extracted oil, coal and gas that have powered our planet for decades... By 2013... just **90 companies contributed 2/3rds of the world’s industrial emissions**.

Richard Heede could even pinpoint the share of those emissions for which companies existing today are responsible.

The new science fossil fuel companies fear

Researchers can now link weather events to emissions – and to the companies responsible. A string of lawsuits is about to give “attribution science” a real-life test.
