Following up on my recent videos, I chat about startling facts/observations from the recent US Climate Report. My view is climate changes are much worse than presented in this report. Soil moisture is dropping across all seasons; as is mountain range snow pack feeding rivers; number of large fires is rising. Tropical cyclones are moving northward; Cat. 4-5 are more frequent. Tornado outbreaks (-30 per day) are rising, atmospheric rivers are stronger, frost free/agricultural growing days are rising.
