It’s 111 degrees in part of Australia today. It’s early summer there, and it is not supposed to be that hot. It suggests what temperatures in the US could be like as early as May. High temperatures mean more AC use, which requires more electricity, which in turn means more fossil fuels. Douglas A. McIntyre,…

It’s 90 degrees in Houston. Scientists say that summer is getting longer, at least as measured by temperatures. And that means more AC, which means more energy, which means more fossil fuels. Douglas A. McIntyre, Editor-In-Chief of Climatecrisis247, explains.
