Climate Change 3: Whatever you do don't call it a twatwaffle

To be fair, the US regularly has someplace in the contiguous 48 above 85*F most days in January too. With individual days getting well into the 90's.

It's an outlier data point that makes a good headline.
 
Most of northern Chile is a desert. It still shouldn't be hitting 102F in the winter season, and I'm sure there is a year-by-year trendline we can locate. Typical high temp in that region this time of year is 70-ish. For comparison, Death Valley in Jan/Feb is usually in the 60s/70s.
 
So last week I was in Alaska on a cruise. It was amazing, truly. I saw glaciers! What a humbling thing.

However, maybe 36 hours after I visited the Mendenhall Glacier outside Juneau, a big chunk broke off some side part and flooded the lake and river... and took out a handful of buildings and homes. The road I took to get there, the trail I walked, the beaches I sat on to get photos. All under several feet of water.
