China has a lot of renewables and is moving in that direction but they're still accelerating on emissions.
However I do think they're poised to become the leader here and I see a rapid reversal in the next 15-20 years.
I think some fluke snowy winters are still possible though if the warming has altered the Pacific pattern that much that it's irreversible then I'm not even confident about that.
Kinda crazy that people born in the last few years may never experience another snowy winter in our region
Unfortunately the slowly boiling frog in the pot applies here. Until we see undeniable catastrophic daily events globally then most will ignore it.
Won't be long though. With current trends we'll see multiple unlivable conditions develop in a decade or so.
Big high coming in from Canada could squash this south while Humberto sneaks NE. Odds of any impacts from either are very low imo but still too early to tell.
How warm the rest of the month will be probably depends on how close that tropical system gets once again.
Models aren't handling that very well right now.
Because the usual seasonal forecasts that relied on past tools have become much more varied in our new CC era.
There's too many variables that are interfering with one another and are producing outcomes we've never seen before.
