From December 22, 2017 to July 30, 2018, Death Valley, CA warmed at a rate of 102 degrees per year. Using the universally accepted climate science linear extrapolation, Death Valley should reach the boiling point of water* during late May of next year.
- Important disclaimer : Being below sea level, Death Valley water boils at a higher temperature than 100C. This pushes the boiling point date back a week or two.
Having said that, it should also be noted that Death Valley cooled at a rate of 145 degrees per year from August 27 to December 30 last year. This is undoubtedly one of the many benefits of California carbon taxes.
