Not going to hold back words here. Expect major highway closures on Sunday night through the SW BC and WA Mountain passes. There is a significant landslide risk now after this past storm. This is a new and strong Atmospheric River about to slam into us, and it follows right on

This really is not looking good guys. This 3rd round of the Atmospheric River will end up doing more damage than what has already been done. The snowfall in the higher terrain after this passes will also hinder repair efforts that need to be done across the passes. Our state is

In 2008, a simple projection suggested the world would pass 1.5C of warming in 2048. In 2016, it suggested 2038. In 2022, 2032. Today, current trend lines suggest 2029. The date has moved up nearly a decade in just a decade, and nearly two decades since the 2008 election.
From Copernicus: This shows how the expected date for breaching 1.5C has been creeping ever closer in recent years. The orange date shows the baseline for the extrapolation; the red date shows when 1.5C is breached based on the trend...
