HOLMES BEACH, FL — Climate experts noted today that hurricane Helene, which is currently forming in hurricane alley during the peak of hurricane season, is undeniable proof of climate change.
"This situation is completely unprecedented," said global warming expert and local dog groomer Rodney Carlson. "I've never seen a hurricane of this magnitude forming in hurricane alley during the hurricane season, and my records go back over 75 days! Clearly, this can only be explained by global warming."
Local resident Sarah Smith said she was also completely shocked by the coming storm. "I was just going to Hurricane Hank's to pick up some of their hurricane meatloaf for dinner, when all of a sudden the town hurricane alarms started going off," Smith noted. "You hear about these things happening in other places, but you never expect them to happen in your town."
"I guess this is the price we pay for destroying the planet with our dangerous CO2 emissions," Smith continued. "Still, I never thought I'd live to see the day that a hurricane hit Florida. Gee, I hope this won't affect this weekend's Miami Hurricanes game!"
At publishing time, climate experts warned that climate change was also expected to cause freezing weather and heavy snow in the Canadian Rockies this winter, followed by high temperatures across Texas next July.

2024 wildfire season is on track to be second largest in last two decades

Canada’s wildfire season is on track to be the second largest in at least the past two decades, trailing only last year’s record-breaking season, federal officials said Wednesday.
Officials said above-normal temperatures and drought conditions across parts of Canada have continued to drive fire activity, with 5.3 million hectares burned so far, though they caution that number is preliminary.
Outside of last year’s roughly 15 million hectares burned, federal records indicate only three other seasons have topped five million hectares, and the last was in 1995.
Yan Boulanger, a research scientist with Natural Resources Canada, said climate change has contributed to earlier starts and later ends to the wildfire season, turning fire into a year-round phenomenon.
“It’s become increasingly evident that we need to shift away from viewing wildland fires simply as seasonal events and move toward the concept of a continuous fire year,” he said in Wednesday’s update.
Boulanger said several of the last 10 years have been above the 25-year average for area burned, primarily due to extreme fire conditions and longer seasons, driven by climate change.
Western Canada has, as expected, been hit hardest this year, with about 70 per cent of the total area burned falling in British Columbia, Alberta, Northwest Territories and Saskatchewan, officials say. Fire activity continues in those regions too.
The junction of B.C., Alberta, and N.W.T, in particular, could see continued fire activity into the winter given forecasted warm and dry conditions for at least the next month.
“We must continue to be vigilant against starting fire all year round,” Boulanger said.
Officials say the 792 international firefighters who helped tackle blazes throughout the year have all since returned home.

Climate change made some heat waves at least 10 times more likely: Environment Canada

A new rapid analysis says climate change made August heat waves over some of Canada’s most northern — and rapidly warming — regions at least 10 times more likely.
Environment and Climate Change Canada says the heat waves in Inuvik, N.W.T., as well asKitikmeot and Kivalliq, Nvt., generated peak temperatures between 12 and 13 degrees above normal, and were made “far more likely” due to climate change.
The result is at the highest end of the three-level scale used by the department’s rapid attribution tool to describe the influence of climate change on a heat wave.
It’s the first time the label has been applied to any of the 28 heat wave results produced by the tool since it was publicly announced in June.
The rapid attribution tool, currently in its pilot phase, uses models to compare current and pre-industrial climates to analyze how human-caused carbon emissions, driven by the burning of fossil fuels, has influenced extreme weather.
The department released a batch of results on Wednesday indicating seven other August heat waves in Canada were made two to 10 times more likely due to climate change, while one in Manitoba was made one to two times more likely.
The Arctic is warming much faster than the rest of the planet, in a process known as Arctic amplification and driven in part by melting sea ice. When that bright and reflective sea ice melts, it exposes darker sea water or land that absorbs more solar radiation and leads to temperature increases.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge introduced a plan to help the aviation industry reach net-zero emissions by 2050 but here’s the rub: Part of the plan would involve mandating longer flight times.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge introduced a plan to help the aviation industry reach net-zero emissions by 2050, but here’s the rub: Part of the plan would involve mandating longer flight times.
Hands up, those who want to be stuck on a plane even longer. Hello? Anyone?
The “bold measure” would slow flight speeds by 15%, the Independent reported, per the New York Post, adding about 50 minutes of travel time to each journey.
That would decrease fuel burn by up to 7% and reduce the 4% industry contribution to overall climate change, according to the research, which is being presented to the United Nations.
By 2050, fuel reductions would be cut by half, according to the projections.
The experts said longer flights could be offset by more efficiently organized airports and fewer slowdowns.
Professor Rob Miller, of Cambridge’s Whittle Laborators, said aviation as a whole needs a “whole systems process change.”
“The airlines can’t do them alone, nor can the manufacturers or the airports,” he told the Times of London.
An initiative such as this might be a bit too ambitious at the moment, he noted.
“It’s not that anyone doesn’t want to, it’s just that the complexity of the system makes it very hard to do.”
More than 16% of American vehicles were either electric or hybrid by the close of 2023, according to the Energy Information Administration.
“Aviation stands at a pivotal moment, much like the automotive industry in the late 2000s,” Miller added.
