For understandable reasons, we have been focusing a lot on the West, but there's a much broader signal. Many stations across the entire southern half of the U.S. are recording their highest average maximum temperatures on record so far this March.

I will dutifully propagate what MMT illuminates on military spending.
Because the federal government spends money into existence, this war spending money directly into the pockets of the wealthiest people in the world, not into the pockets of families public health and science and environmental monitoring, adding to their totalitarian grip politics and the economy
An economy by for and of the extinction cult of wealth. They want to replace people with machines they control.
Zach, I want to ask you if you have any sense that this might be the year where heat index turns truly lethal. With the prospect that a super El Niño is in the works, does it amplify summer extremes?
I haven’t been following It’s development of late. There’s been too much news just over the crazy weather we’re having.
@ZLabe Hopefully this leads to more predictive models, instead of just post-defacto data. While increasingly accurate past effects are worthy of themselves; translating it to prescient measures is becoming more and more the priority.
Keep up the stellar work.
