August Just Set a Global Heat and Humidity Record—and It Wasn’t Close

Comments

1. Lunavossxo: I'm no expert but wouldn't the real issue be how El Niño exacerbates climate change rather than the other way around?
2. Kai: yeah that heat index graph is wild, what's interesting to me is how this combines with actual temperature records, have any climate models accounted for a simultaneous extreme El Niño event
3. Amir: what's more disturbing is that this record will probably be the new baseline
4. Velvet Phantom: that's weird they mention Iceland as an example by itself like it's not part of Europe
5. Noah: i'm still waiting to see how this kind of reporting affects global development, not just climate records
6. Wraith Sable: global records are getting broken all the time these days can we just focus on solutions for once?
7. Adamr: i'm more concerned about the El Niño's impact on global food production than this record itself can we talk about the knock-on effects on regional ecosystems?
8. Norat: I'd rather be talking about the economic consequences for small islands like Rustratia right now than another record that's basically a done deal - what's the real-world impact here
9. Noah: never thought i'd see us breaking global heat records *and* humidity records, not on my watch anyway
10. Rogue Phantom: don't act surprised, this is what you get when climate change accelerates el niño
