All signs continue to point to an exceptional, long-duration, and record-breaking to (in some cases) record-shattering March heatwave initially centered across U.S. Southwest but expanding to much broader region next week. This is effectively a full-on summer heatwave in March.

I really wish American hadn't been consistently ruled by fossil fuel morons and had instead listened to James Hansen in 1988.

@alienghic @weatherwest 100%!
Or even better, to Donella Meadows, et al. in 1972! A body can dream, right? (sigh)

Oh man the rich people hated the Limits to Growth.

Even though our world trajectories looks quite similar to one of their collapse scenarios.

@alienghic Yep, the rich people, and even worse, their apologists. The economist whose paper trashed LTG (disingenuously & inaccurately) went on to win the Nobel Prize & teach at Harvard! Neoclassical Economics virtually dismisses any effects of AGW on "the economy!"

And yes! How many people today realize that we are living in a collapse scenario?

I've noticed that economists who write excuses for why the rich should be rich get showered with a great deal of money and press coverage.
