Manage episode 404490197 series 3395195
At the end of February 2024, I talked to people in Ohio’s snowbelt region, and they all said the same thing, “I think the snowplow guy maybe came twice.” Only twice! Wow! The snowplow guys probably liked the lack of snow!
You see, in major parts of the U.S., winter never arrived. According to preliminary data from AccuWeather, this winter was the warmest on record in the U.S thanks to El Nino and our warming climate.
This past summer, it was really hot in many places of the world for extended time periods. Should we care? Let's ask our guest. In this March 2024 episode, host Tim Jordan explores the issue of our water and land growing warmer with special guest, Annalisa Bracco, Ph.D. Listen, learn, subscribe, and share. Thanks!
