or Russians whose relatives died in the 2010 heatwave
that one heatwave killed an estimated 15,000 people and shaved an estimated $15 billion of the Russian economy
and atmospheric co2 levels keep rising; now over 391 ppm
the major ocean currents are warming faster than the rest of the lifeboat
and another 200,000 humans are added to the planet each day
To the above commenters – Don’t confuse weather with climate.One is short term,the other is long to longer term.
