'Our Atmosphere Is Broken': US Tops Record for Hurricane-Force Winds in a Day

Writing Wednesday at his Substack "The Crucial Years," McKibben framed Wednesday's storm system as an unsurprising outcome of the climate emergency:

It's hard to overstate how hellish the storm now raging across the central plains really is: half the lower 48 is under a weather warning of some kind, as the National Weather Service describes a "historic weather day," with tornado warnings extending farther north than we've ever seen in December. In Colorado winds as high as 107 mph swept down the Front Range of the Rockies. "Amid the high winds, blinding dust storms have swelled over parts of southeast Colorado and western Kansas, with wildfires erupting in Kansas and the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles."

None of this comes as a great surprise—it's been a record hot December across much of the continent, with temperatures in the 70s across the northern midwest. This is just the kind of thing that happens when you're in the process of breaking the planet's climate system.
