3 massive changes you'll see as the climate careens toward tipping points
Scientists are increasingly concerned that the planet is headed for massive, irreversible changes due to global warming. In some cases, those changes have already begun.

High temperatures (ºF) in and around Alaska on Friday. Near to below normal most areas except Alaska Peninsula/Aleutians and parts of Southeast Alaska. Much lower temps north/west of the Alaska Range compared to Southcentral is classic this time of year. #akwx #weather @climatologist49.bsky.social

The significant ongoing tidal flooding event in the #Miami area is caused by a few coincident components:
1) the full moon on October 6, which happens to be near perigee (October 8)
2) sea level rise adds ~8 inches to the baseline sea level used in NOAA tide predictions
