  2. The U.S. may not last long as a net grain exporter as global warming dries out the midwest bread basket and fossil groundwater aquifers are over-pumped and depleted in the irrigated regions. Using nearly half of the corn grown here to produce ethanol is also very short sighted. Feeding nearly 2 BILLION more humans may be a problem unless we continue to encroach on the habitats of the other species we share this planet with.

  3. 'sup? 🌞 thought I'd take a peek, nearly wrote an essay pondering about initial first few seconds displaying GWM but paused so could proceed with the presentation … then reading from Guardian requires constraint when deserve critique about misconceptions among else risk by such references, though aware & recognize along with some regard for their perspective beside those they may appeal still persevered in appreciation for the effort & ethic, take care

  4. Declining relative humidity over land seems to be a direct result of warmer air holding more water. So that graph is basically proof of where we're heading with droughts, since less relative humidity over land means less rain inland.

  5. Maybe it has a lot less to do with the burning of fossil fuels and more to do with the  Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcanic eruption on January 15, 2022, which sent a significant amount of water vapor into the stratosphere. An estimated amount of around 50 million tons of water vapor into the atmosphere, which increased the global average of atmospheric water vapor by about 5%.

  6. With this record breaking cold (on inauguration day of all things) will be touted as "proof" that there is no man made global warming. The idiots won't be able to understand that when hot air moves into somewhere that is occupied by cold air, the cold air has to GO somewhere.

  7. And it's only the beginning.

    Saturday the butcher, who is Moroccan, told me that now meat is doubly expensive in Morocco than in Spain because of massive persistent drought.

    Only the beginning. We live "interesting" times, which is a curse.

  8. For some reason I have started introducing myself "Hello, I am Paul Beckwith".
    It works wonders, and the name is much better than my real one. As an additional bonus, I don't need to bother shaving so often….
    Thanks for your videos, real Paul!

  9. Paul, new AMOC paper says that it hasn't declined since the 60s. Would it be possible for you to cover that one?
    Title: Atlantic overturning inferred from air-sea heat fluxes indicates no decline since the 1960s

  10. Many Thanks Paul water is important without it we are literally gone..We need to me smarter in how it is used and not waste it..Example Earthship homes in Taos New Mexico use rainwater catchment to store water in tanks,then use it for showers and washing,reuse it for watering of greenhouse plants and gardens then recycle it to flush toilets then use it again for outside landscaping and watering after a filtering process..Modern day homes waste so much we need to figure out how to do this for the betterment of our planet. Great report Paul thank you!👍👍

  11. We all live in our community and get used to the slowly changing climate like a frog boiling in water. Getting this kind of macro view of the world changes is extremely eye opening. 😮
    This just gives me more motivation to talk to my senators and representatives to support a plan to mitigate our long-term mega drought in the Western USA. The Coalition for a National Infrastructure Bank has a great plan to build a pipeline from the Mississippi River bypass in Louisiana to Lake Mead and Lake Powell to refill them in this long-term mega drought. It would NOT require a huge amount of electricity to get up to those elevations and could easily be powered by floating solar power on the reservoirs, covering less than 10%. Two axis floating solar that tracks the Sun elevation and azimuth would provide very long power hours per day, producing a lot of power during peak demand. There would also be less evaporation on the reservoirs. The power lines are already nearby. And the hydropower is a huge battery. Solar power is currently the lowest cost. The cost for the project could easily be paid back by the agriculture that could grow to be a much larger business and currently which is being curtailed due to dwindling water supplies. Only a small percentage of the bypass water would be required to refill the reservoirs. The pipeline could also act as a source of water with reversed flow for occasional drought situations in Louisiana.
