IPCC report on climate: UN scientists call for course correction (cnbc.com)

The Dubai climate summit will see the U.N. publish a “global stocktake,” the result of a two-year process that started at COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland. The purpose of which will be to assess how governments are doing with their efforts to tackle the climate crisis.

Speaking in France’s capital earlier this month, COP President-Designate Sultan al-Jaber said the conclusions of this assessment were already clear. “We are way off track,” al-Jaber said. “The bottom line is this: the world needs to cut emissions by 43% in the next seven years to keep 1.5 alive.”

This is so predictable, so annoying, so transparent, and so silly.

Man to each their own. Being hot in March is the pits for me. But I guess that's why I live in Ohio.

12th atmospheric river this winter to bring more snow, rain to California | The Hill

The string of atmospheric rives in California left some part’s of the state with above-average totals of rainfall, with Los Angeles totaling 24.49 inches of rain since November, which is more than double its historical average of 11.78 inches, according to Accuweather.
The onslaught of atmospheric rivers this year in the state has cut down the the long-time drought with only 36 percent of the state in drought as of last week, compared to 98 percent in early October.
The U.S. Drought Monitor reported that no part of California is in an extreme drought, down from 35 percent of the state being in an extreme drought three months ago.

I enjoy seasonality.  I just don't want Cincy winters, at all.  Their summers got pretty bad as well.

California places have some near perfect weather I think overall, SD, and the like.  Hawaii is not bad in places, the weather near Kona is pretty constant and nice.  It does get hazy.

Yep. SoCal weather, anywhere remotely near the coast, is perfect. 

In the "winter", it's temperate. Typically a low in the 40s and high around 60 in the coldest months. The hottest portion of summer for me might get into the mid-high 90s, but it IS actually a dry heat, which means that there's no moisture in the air to trap heat, so it actually becomes quite cool in the evening once the sun starts fading. I've always found that anywhere with a lot of humidity, it just stays hot all night. 

Of course, there's June Gloom. Granted, if the worst weather you have to complain about is just mildly overcast, life is pretty darn good...

Humid air is less dense than drier air ...

That is true, but I think the persistent heat in the evenings is more due to the high specific heat of water. The water vapor in the air retains heat. Dry air may be more dense, but it dissipates heat more quickly.

Water vapor is a GHG, so it does trap heat and reduce reemission.  That may be the larger factor.

Clouds obviously do this even more.
