the climate crisis is real and it is here to stay. nothing to do with climate change it is naive. ofnl i m no meteorologist whether we re talking about wildfires or storms there are going to be more frequent more extreme. if anybody has any doubts, this past couple of days and what we re going to be dealing with for the next few climate change is here. these kinds of weather phenomenon are happening all around the globe. and it s only becoming more and more common all because of climate change. with increasing climate change and increasing warming, we can expect more and more of these kind of wildfires. so martha one of the thing that is always amazing that people will state that make those statements and never follow-up with any data. it is like and then the pronouncements are not only tethered to data but untethered to practical solution solis smoky the bear would tell you what to do they say we are in trouble, we need, you know, we need a bold solution and then
nasa is a citizen agency. and nasa can bring in the scientific method. they can bring in really citizen scientists as well as professional scientists to address this. and what we found is most events are explainable. balloons, commercial jets, drones, weather phenomenon. but there are some events where we don t have good enough data to see what s going on. but how do you get it? part of why you do this you said, is to remove the stigma that commercial and military pilots often feel like they won t be taken seriously if they report something they don t know what it is. for nasa to make use of things like the three to four billion cell phones we have and develop apps that can record information from your phone. your phone not only takes good
discuss climate. climate scientists are warning the world could face record temperatures this year in part due to the anticipated return of the el nino. it s a weather phenomenon, which sees a pattern of warming ocean temperatures that can increase the likelihood of extreme weather events. 2022 was already the world s fifth warmest year on record with temperatures fuelling wildfires, droughts and flooding across the globe. scientists say the effects of an el nino this year could make it even hotter, bringing with it potentially more catastrophic weather. live now to michael mcphaden, a senior climate researcher at the us national oceanic and atmospheric administration. my understanding is that el nino comes around every decade or so. maybe 15 years. why is it that scientists are predicting another, so hot on the heels of the last major one in 2015 2016? yes, actually, it comes around
