We are now in the phase of the climate crisis where hurricanes are making meteorologists weep on live TV 💔

How fossil fuels mutated Milton: Climate scientists tell HEATED the historic storm represents "the profound irresponsibility and culpability" of polluters. Arielle Samuelson, HEATED, Oct 9, 2024

Top climatologist Kevin Trenberth explains: Why have hurricanes gone crazy? He recalls early disputes with the storm forecasters, which echo other past debates climate scientists have had with weather forecasters less familiar with climate science results. www.theclimatebrink.com/p/why-have-h...

It really feels like the more that climate change can be felt in storm after storm, fire after fire, the more flow we see see in conspiracy theories from the margins to the mainstream. (After this piece by John Morales...)

"Gulf water pouring gasoline on Milton's explosive intensification is up to 3.6°F above historic normal
Fossil fuels has given us an unprecedented era of monster storms & the only question is why our government policies still encourage burning them" — Miles Grant, Bluesky, Oct 7, 2024

"Helene was supercharged by ultra-warm water made up to 500 times more likely by global warming, study finds," Rachel Ramirez, CNN, October 9, 2024

"In the U.S., at least half the rain from Hurricane Helene was supercharged by climate change. As the waters recede, we’re only beginning to grasp the full extent of the damage—just as Milton, another record-breaking hurricane, threatens Florida. Over the last four weeks, there have been floods all across Asia including in Thailand last week, Nepal the week before, and India, China, and Vietnam before that." — Katharine Hayhoe, LinkedIn, October 9, 2024

I'm angry about the fact that people are going to die because of climate change denialism.
