Polar Fronts To Hit S. America; Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Gains 1 Million km2 In A Week; Frigid Winter Forecast For NH; + New Study: Predicting Climate Change "More Difficult Than Previously Thought"
The truth is starting to leak: The calls of 'climate crisis' are built on weak footings.
Polar Fronts To Hit South America
South America is on for three significant cold waves this month, according to latest GFS runs, with extreme temperature anomalies expected across vast areas of the continent.
The first major cold wave is forecast to hit August 10, with southern Brazil, Paraguay, northern Argentina, and parts of Bolivia seeing anomalies some 16C below 1981-2010 climatological norms.
These blues and purples will bring frost and snow to areas unaccustomed to such phenomena.
The second cold front is forecast to barrel in August 14, and will again crash the mercury some 16C below normal for many.
By August 21, the cold looks set to have intensified, but by this point it will be its persistence causing problems, to agriculture and also daily life more broadly.
Warnings are being issued for hazardous conditions, centering around freezing temperatures. The agricultural sector is on alert, readying for potential impacts to crops and livestock. Energy providers are also anticipating increased heating demand.
Stay tuned for updates.
