    Imagine that. A race toward overheating the planet and we might not be the ones to win it. Oh, boo hoo. Let them win. If that means we approach extinction more slowly, well, we can live with that.

  6. Record-shattering March scorcher: 70 million to bake in summerlike #HeatDome into weekend

    Record-challenging heat will surge across the Southwest this week as a stubborn heat dome sends temperatures into the 90s and even past 100 degrees in some cities, levels more typical of late spring or early summer.

    By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist

    Published Mar 16, 2026 2:39 PM EDT | Updated Mar 16, 2026 3:55 PM EDT

    " Much of the Southwest will jump from springlike conditions to summerlike heat this week, with temperatures climbing well into the 90s in many areas and even topping 100 degrees in some locations which are more typical of early summer. The heat dome will have staying power and may not begin to weaken until this weekend to early next week.

    A burst of summerlike heat will build across the Southwest this week, pushing temperatures in many areas into the 90s and some past 100 degrees. Monthly records may be challenged, and the heat could hold into the weekend or early next week"

  7. Summerlike heat dome to send #Southwest temperatures soaring past 100 F

    A strengthening #HeatDome will send temperatures soaring into the 90s and past 100 degrees across the Southwest, threatening records, accelerating snowmelt and raising #wildfire risk now, then #WaterSupply concerns later.

    By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
    Published Mar 13, 2026

    "Temperatures will climb well into the 90s, with some areas forecast to top 100 degrees Fahrenheit through next week. While those numbers may not seem extreme for the southwestern United States, they are running one to two months ahead of historical averages and could have implications for wildfire risk and water supplies across the interior Southwest later this year.

    "A persistent area of high pressure at multiple levels of the atmosphere, known as a heat dome, will intensify in the coming days and may be slow to break down."

    US weather to go nuts with blizzard, polar vortex, heat dome, atmospheric river all at once

    By SETH BORENSTEIN
    Updated 12:03 AM EDT, March 13, 2026

    "Nearly every part of the United States is getting walloped by wild weather or just about to be.

    "Days of downpours have begun in #Hawaii. The #Southwest will soon bake with day after day of record 100-degree-plus (38 Celsius-plus) #heat. Two storms will dump snow by the foot over northern #GreatLakes states. And the dreaded #PolarVortex will again invade the Midwest and East with soul-crushing #ArcticChill.

    "This forecast of extremes comes as weather whiplash already hit much of the East. On Wednesday, Washington, D.C. residents walked around in shorts in record-breaking 86 degrees Fahrenheit (about 30 Celsius). On Thursday, it snowed.

    " 'All of the country, even if you’re not necessarily seeing extremes, are going to see generally changing from cold to warm, or warm to cold to warm,' said meteorologist Marc Chenard of the weather service’s Weather Prediction Center in Maryland.

    "Former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Ryan Maue said he expects extreme weather in all 50 states."

    "Residents of central Mexico may have thought they were accompanying Dante through the Inferno in a freakishly wild weekend for weather.

    "Extreme heat, destructively strong winds and a consequential #hail storm — all accompanied by #flooding — tormented central Mexico beginning on Friday.

    [...]

    "Meanwhile in #MexicoCity, capitalinos sweltered in the extreme heat all weekend. Sunday was the third consecutive day in which a record was set. The mercury hit 33.8 degrees Celsius (93˚F), which is a new all-time record for May 26.

  20. Red algae will NOT eliminate livestock as a problem for combating climate change.

    The U.N. has a report stating that the livestock industry contributes more to the greenhouse effect than *transportation*.

    One reason is methane.

    It was hoped that mixing seaweed into livestock feed would cut methane emissions. Earlier studies showed 90% reductions and higher.

    However, this latest and longest running study only showed a 28% reduction.

    A guaranteed way to reduce methane emissions from the livestock industry is to minimize meat consumption. Eat less meat.
