NHC ups the chance of development to 60% as of this afternoon. Very rare for a system to develop in the deep tropics in June, but water temperatures are equal to peak (September) season already. Odds are it will recurve out to sea but too early to be sure. Stay tuned!
Climate Crisis: We just finished hitting (week ending June 9) a new record high for atmospheric CO2 at 424.64 PPM located at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Atmospheric Baseline Observatory. Now we need both critical mitigation and adaptation to deal with climate change.
CLIMATE CRISIS: Here is where we stand now after all of these historic milestones. What do you think? (note: CO2 on X axis, years on Y axis, and global temps as colors)
Quite a few meteorologists in disbelief at the pattern across the US. Strong subtropical jet stream feeding widespread severe weather in the south. A winter El Nino pattern in summer. A polar jet extension in the Ohio Valley too with incredible high-latitude blocking. 1/
Food security is now my top worry among the climate & ecological security risks associated with the #Ukraine crisis that @elsa_barron_ @BrigitteHugh_ & I wrote about last week.

OK, we need to talk a little bit about Russian oil/gas markets, US LNG and climate change. Because I'm seeing some otherwise smart and well intentioned people getting confused. Thread:
It is time to start preparing for the fact that #Putin’s criminal invasion of one of the worlds leading wheat producers is going to result in a massive increase in food prices including here in America & a food insecurity crisis in many parts of the world
New U.S. security assistance will provide immediate military assistance for Ukraine, including anti-armor, anti-aircraft systems, and small arms - senior Biden administration official - Reuters
The IPCC report highlighted the risks & vulnerabilities #ClimateChange presents to human security, AND the adaptation measures we can take to secure the future
Join us tomorrow as we decode the security angles of the report w/2 of the authors

ALT Decoding the New IPCC Report on Climate Impacts: Implications for Security and Adaptation on Tuesday, March 8, 2022, from 12-1 p.m. EST, with speakers Dr. Katharine Mach and Dr. Halvard Buhaug (authors on the latest IPCC report) and Dr. Rod Schoonover, Head of the Ecological Security Program at the Council on Strategic Risks.
We had the distinct pleasure to present to the @Varysian_Ltd Network, which is the meteorological and hydrological sectors’ leading networking resource.
Many thanks to @thecarlybrand, @jeremiahpariag, and @dcharary for giving a presentation on Communicating Climate Security
I'm alive, they hit us hard but we are continuing the fight. I urge everyone if your not able to fight to share spread the message that Ukrainians won't be controlled by imperialist ambitions such as Russia it was Russia that attacked us!

“With continued nighttime warming, we expect to see more runaway wildfires that are more intense, faster, and larger,” Balch said. “That means firefighters don’t get the breaks at night they used to get — they have to battle flames 24/7.”
