OBX Wave Report April 17 — CO2, Sting Jets, Bomb Cyclones, Deluges… 1-4 Foot Waves

Through fossil fuel burning, atmospheric CO2 levels have now increased to a maximum of around 424 parts per million in April of 2023, the highest seen in at least 3 million years. Meanwhile, the list of storms enhanced by the added heat trapped by CO2 is growing. Despite the enhanced risk of storms globally, the Outer Banks is relatively calm today with 1-4 foot waves breaking across the beaches.

Signs of Mass Electrification Everywhere

Charging stations popping up right next to my old home in Gaithersburg. We’re charging forward rapidly in EVs. But we need to step it out even faster with wind, water, solar, and mass electrification to outpace the climate emergency.
