Since the words "climate change" are scrubbed from all current Govt records per The Moron. All the scientists are gone, all their research is under lock and key and the GOP sleeps well at night sleeping on mattresses overstuffed with rich donor money.
Fortunately other countries do not have greedy sociopaths running their govt institutions and are collecting data and research which we will be able to use. The US sinks lower and lower in the eyes of the world thanks to the kiss ass GOP and the Fucking Moron.

That kind of baking heat will turn their entire country into a barren, windblown desert.

(51,660 posts)This year the amount the US spent in natural disaster aid (I won't even get started on Puerto Rico) is the highest ever. We can't just pay for "after the disaster" issues, we need to be taking precautionary measures like you suggested in Australia. At least they don't treat this as a joke like the Moron and his greedy psycho pals. They have the brains(Australia) and we have the money(Us). We need to be preparing raising entire cities and moving them inland for starters. There will be strange and dangerous changes with insects, diseases, immigration, collapsing countries' economic and governmental institutions, wars will be started, everything is going to be effected.

(17,216 posts)The average anomaly for the last five or six years have been around +1 to 1.5 degrees C. Granted, it's increasing and becoming more frequent but it is accurate to say that our temperatures are around 1 deg C above long term average.

(17,216 posts)Refer to the chart posted in the OP. It clearly shows that Australia is not and nowhere near 20 deg hotter than it used to be. I should know. I live here.

The Earth is about 3 million miles closer to the Sun at perihelion in January. That means Earth is closer to the leading edge of its Goldilocks Zone, which is also moving farther out due to CO2 emissions.
