The American Meteorological Society and Climate Change
Heavy
Weather
The American
Meteorological Society is our premier scientific and professional US
meteorological organization.
When I did
my climate research seven years ago, I devoted many days to learning more about
meteorology. Eventually, any inquisitive weather soul will knock on the doors
of the AMS for their professional opinion.
Unsurprisingly, they had strong words warning us about rapid climate
change years ago.
Today, retracing
my steps, I discovered the AMS 30th “State of the Climate 2019.” If
you access the website, you can read what professionals have to say. For me,
the report was sobering. Every aspect of
rapid global warming and climate change has grown worse. It was if I was hit by
psychological heavy weather, a deep cyclonic low. It is depressing for me to know, so far, we
have failed to meet the challenge.
Lucky for us
and for our kids we have solutions. Because there are so many solutions, I retain
hope. It will take us rediscovering collective discipline, will-power, and
moral courage to meet the threat. Yes a tall order, but one we have the ability
to meet.
The AMS
meteorologists are not peering through a fog of uncertainty when warning us the
time has come to transition to clean energy and a sustainable way of life. They
have NO doubt. We need not have any either. Vote to save the climate.
