Denver will be 80 degrees today. Then, it will snow tomorrow, with the potential for a bomb cyclone to generate

The twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul will also see wild swings in temperature. Minneapolis hit 70 degrees on Monday; by Thursday, the city will experience full-blown blizzard conditions, including 8 to 12 inches of snow.
Meantime, parts of South Dakota could get 30 inches of snow.

Heavens! Why all the crazy weather? What on earth could be causing it?

I release more methane from natural gas leaks than from cows. That is because Trump has an executive order cancelling all the Obama years EPA rules about fugitive emissions of methane from oil and natural gas fields.

The Trump EPA proposal targets methane leak detection efforts, otherwise known as leak detection and repair (LDAR), by significantly decreasing the frequency of routine operator equipment visits conducted to check for methane leaks.

Trump's EPA is proposing to exempt Texas well production sites from LDAR requirements, leaving the vast majority of wells currently subject to the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) in Texas unregulated.

The last time carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere were as high as they are today, sea levels were 65 feet higher and it was so warm that trees grew in Antarctica.

While the discovery is remarkable, it’s implications are dire. Twenty metres of sea level rise would have a major impact on our all our coastal cities.

Current CO2 levels of 410 parts per million (ppm) were last seen on Earth three million years ago, according to the most detailed reconstruction of the Earth’s climate by researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and published in Science Advances.

Their in-depth analysis of plant fossils and sediments reveal that such CO2 levels were last seen in the late Pliocene Epoch, a time when there were no ice sheets covering either Greenland or West Antarctica, and much of the East Antarctic ice sheet was gone. Temperatures were up to 7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer globally, at least double that at the poles, and sea levels were some 20 meters (65 feet) higher.

The choices we make now determine whether we blow past 65 feet of sea level rise to beyond 200 feet. The climate policy agenda President Donald Trump is pushing — actions that include rolling back U.S. laws that reduce carbon pollution and abandoning the Paris climate agreement — would lock us in to such high CO2 levels, sea levels would rise a foot per decade in just a few decades.

“This is an amazing discovery,” Jane Francis, director of the British Antarctic Survey, told The UK Guardian. “They found fossil leaves of southern beech. I call them the last forests of Antarctica.”

No one will survive it. When the majority of species die off, so will we.

In blow to climate, coal plants emitted more than ever in 2018
“We are headed for disaster, and nobody seems to be able to slow things down,” a Stanford University professor said.

Central American Farmers Head to the U.S., Fleeing Climate Change
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/13/world/americas/coffee-climate-chang
e-migration.html


The challenges of agricultural life in Honduras have always been mighty, from poverty and a neglectful government to the swings of international commodity prices.

But farmers, agricultural scientists and industry officials say a new threat has been ruining harvests, upending lives and adding to the surge of families migrating to the United States: climate change.

And their worries are increasingly shared by climate scientists as well.

Gradually rising temperatures, more extreme weather events and increasingly unpredictable patterns — like rain not falling when it should, or pouring when it shouldn’t — have disrupted growing cycles and promoted the relentless spread of pests.

The obstacles have cut crop production or wiped out entire harvests, leaving already poor families destitute.

This is only going to keep getting worse.
