Extreme Heat Waves Define Current Period; Scientific Data Confirms Crisis Amid Political Dismissal

06:10 Hey, y'all. Happy #TGIF Friday and all that.👋 But before I get into #myday's weather and all that plans for my day #today stuff, I wanta say "Gee, THANKS A LOT." to y'all out there complaining about the way too hot, heat your weather gods are beating ya up with lately.😏 Apparently, my weather gods here got word of it and are all. "Hey, WAIT, WHAT?" and have decided to up their game and the temperature up to 90deg for me too, today. 😱 Yup. I'm up to see a cool 55deg,open window, under the covers, morning heading higher today up near 90 deg to join y'all in my own chance to join in the too hot here hollering.🥵 But at least it will be sunny and much too hot to do much of anything else today, but sit a lot, sip a lot, and probably just bask in it a little bit, from beneath the shady tree, all day. ☀️😎👍 Welp. With that said, let me just wish y'all a great day of contemplating your plans for a terrific weekend, and happy TGIF Friday to ya, from a soon steamy hot n sunny Alabama today. 🤗🖖

06:07 Hey, y'all. Happy #TGIF Friday to ya. 👋 It's also the one and only Good Friday celibrated by many. So, an extra Happy Friday to y'all for that, too. 👍 Up n movin' kinda early this morning. Even up before my coffee perking. So, I figured I'd get my morning tooting in for #myday #today. It's a cool 64deg outside blowing inside. The windows were all left open to it, as is the season's solution yo the hot days now. They say it should soon get cloudy and maybe even rain today. But still hit the mid-80s and be muggy-sticky, if not all damp n sweaty. 😉 But, hopefully, the rising sun will shine enough for my morning sitting n coffee sipping while soaking in it.☕️🤞 Not much on my list of Honey-doins today. Mostly, just catch up stuff left undone from not heeding Heather's hollerings. Probably mostly lots of coffee sipping and weather watching n puttering around outside if the sky doesn't try spitting on me. 💪 Welp. The coffee calls n says it's perked. Si, I suppose I best get busy sitting n sipping. ☕️🫡 Y'all try to have a decent, if not happy, Good Friday. 🖖🤗

Relentless heat is gripping large parts of the U.S. this week, with record temperatures surging into the 80s and 90s from Texas to the East Coast—well above seasonal norms. This isn’t just weather. It’s a warning. Climate patterns are shifting, and spring is arriving hotter, earlier, and more extreme. Stay safe. Stay hydrated. Pay attention. #Heatwave #ClimateCrisis #GlobalWarming #Weather #USWeather #ClimateEmergency More News at @Free_Press

RE: https://fediscience.org/@rahmstorf/116199621441961328 #Globalwarming has doubled its pace since the 1970s, now at ~0.35°C/decade (vs. 0.2°C before). 2023–2025 were the hottest years ever; #Earth may hit 1.5°C warming by 2030. Hotspots like China/Mexico warm faster.

After the warmest winter on record for many states and a blistering March heat wave that left almost no snow in parts of the American West, the region is facing a summer of serious wildfire risks and a drought that could force broad water restrictions. #climatechange #climatecrisis #climateemergency #USA #climate #drought #food #inflation #economics https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/climate/heat-snow-drought-west.html
