I've trimmed back the length on a short discourse concerning the state of global warming, and why there is certainty it's human activity, not natural causes, producing it. PLEASE SHARE, FOLLOW.

Since we're in a benign weather pattern, I'm taking some time to offer a local and global climate inventory, to assist in seeing where we stand in terms of climate change. It's 15 minutes, longer than usual, but the needs a little more depth.

We ditch the excess humidity and get into an extended dry pattern, minus excessive heat.

Severe storms moved to our north Tuesday, and a drier and more comfortable pattern unfolds Wednesday afternoon. No "excessive heat" is in sight in WNY.
