Hottest Year on Record -- 2024
Engine EcoPhils, Inc.
We offer an immediate "bridge solution" to vehicle pollution that is 500 times more effective than buying an EV.
Bloomberg's article "In Hottest Year Ever, US Homes Used a Record Amount of Power to Keep Cool" states that "Warming Planet Is Spurring Air Conditioning Needs" and "The May-to-September cooling season was the third hottest on record, said Matt Rogers, president of private forecaster Commodity Weather Group." which of course puts a heavier load on the electric grid -- both 'fossil fuels' and renewables.
(Note: I am not picking on Bloomberg here, their article just happen to appear before me.)
Winter - 2024-25
In November 2024, Saudi Times reports on snow in the desert... "An Icy Mirage in the Arabian Desert: Rare Snow Sparks Climate Questions" where they reported: "Snow in the desert? It sounds like a mirage, but for residents of Saudi Arabia’s Al-Jawf region, the surreal scene became a reality."
Early this year, the weather rotated 180 degrees -- literally. The US climate.gov website reports: "Historic January 2025 snowstorm in the Southern U.S." wherein "An Arctic blast plunged into the southeastern United States on Sunday, January 19, arriving just in time for the on-average coldest stretch of the year. It brought record-breaking low temperatures and fueled a winter storm that dropped historic snowfall for parts of the South."
For those not familiar with this area of the US, let me point out that IT NEVER SNOWS IN THIS AREA. Florida is where "snowbirds" (northerners) run to -- to get away from the cold.
So What Is Going On?
No-one knows for sure.
- Loudly acclaimed, climate-warming CO2 fails to explain it.
领英推荐
- Known climate-warming black carbon fails to explain it.
- Known fast-rising ocean-temperatures fail to explain it.
NONE of these take into account the record cold.
What Is Being Done About It?
More screaming for less climate-warming CO2 -- which subjugates such screaming as no more than senseless chatter of the uninformed.
Next Steps?
What is needed is FACTUAL DATA and VERIFIED MEASUREMENTS so that a logical picture of reality can be assimilated and a sane, non-political decision can be made.
I seriously hope someone gets it in gear for all of our sake.
