Enlightening article, thanks for posting. PBS News Hour had on a NOAA climate scientist last night who explained the high points of this study, too. Pretty dismal projections and conclusions.

My mind's trying to digest/envision what lies ahead for us. I covered some of this in my novel, Falling Through Time.

We're in for a rough ride.. can we adapt in time?

July was the hottest July ever--but just barely. It was just barely hotter than July 1936 for perspective.

Going "green" and creating less pollution is still a good goal. The number of ailments that pollution either cause or exacerbate are large. Just look at the increase number of people going to the ED during those wildfires here.

I wrote an article about the recent record "sweating" temperatures. In it I don't dispute the facts just don't agree with the interpretation of some.
