66 dew. Plenty of available moisture for the storms when they arrive. Probably the highest dew around here since last September. Pretty muggy when you aren’t used to it. Got some sweat going when I mowed the yard earlier.
Even then it’s not possible. Our atmosphere isn’t even remotely thick enough for the radiative forcing required for Venus-like temperatures.
Though this summer may challenge that idea. Ugliest aggregate forcing structure I’ve ever seen going into JJA.
The climate optimum for life is much warmer than it is currently... there are no polar ice caps or glaciers in that situation and there are forests in the arctic.
Of course the big issue right now is rate of warming and our ability to adjust.
I don’t think that’s the reason in this case. It’s just the state the tropics are in, thanks to 3 years with a general circulation pattern favoring heat buildup/storage in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
I mean with a comical amount of CO2 sure, but it would need to be so much that it suffocates all life on earth and saturates every corner of the natural world, including our water and soil and rock.
