    Sitting here in a beautiful sunny day, people can be forgiven for thinking its not a big deal.

    Until you realise how much energy it takes to raise the temperature of the ocean and land by 1.5. And then that all that energy goes into every weather event forever until we reverse it.

        It’s been twenty degrees F (11C) above average in Arizona this week. Should be frigid with snow on the ground (in the mountains) yet I was riding my bike with a t-shirt this week.

          OK, I looked it up. Average from 1979 to 1999 for me on December 17th was 29.1 degrees F.

              29 is bundled up layered clothes, ice, and snow weather. 55 is a hoodie over your tshirt.
