The weather, currently.

High pressure will be firmly established over South Florida by Wednesday, which will keep showers out of the forecast for the most part. There will be the potential for a light, isolated shower or two along the immediate east coast.

Despite the cold front early this week, we will slowly start to see temperatures returning to normal during the second half of the workweek. They will remain nice and fresh on Wednesday, in the upper 50s to mid-60s in the early morning and as high as the low 80s in the afternoon, but these will creep into the mid-80s by Thursday and Friday.

El tiempo, actualmente.

Alta presión estará firmemente establecida sobre el sur de Florida el miércoles, lo que mantendrá las posibilidades de lluvia al mínimo. Existirá la posibilidad de una o dos aguaceros ligeros y aislados a lo largo de la costa este inmediata.

A pesar del frente frío a principios de esta semana, poco a poco comenzaremos a ver las temperaturas regresar a la normalidad durante la segunda mitad de la semana laboral. Se mantendrán agradables y frescas el miércoles, entre los rangos alto de los 50 grados y medio de los 60 temprano en la mañana y hasta el rango bajo de los 80 por la tarde, pero llegarán al rango medio de los 80 el jueves y viernes.

What you need to know, currently.

The UN Climate Change Conference, COP28, is about a month and a half away. However, after last year's conference — which emphasized Climate Finances — wealthy nations are still falling far behind on financial commitments.

The majority of these promises are already overdue. In 2009 wealthy nations promised to pay $100 billion per year in climate finance to the Global South by 2020.

Earlier this month the UN's main fund created to support these goals — the Green Climate Fund — announced that it had raised $9.3 billion, falling short of a $10 billion target. This comes nowhere near the $200-$250 billion the UN estimates developing nations will actually need each year by 2030.

The US and China, the globe's two largest polluters, failed to contribute to the fund at all.

At least years COP, held in Egypt, countries also agreed to create a “Loss and Damage Fund.” A fund where wealthy nations would contribute funds to assist developing nations as they recover from inevitable climate disasters, i.e. loss and damages.

Almost a year later, there is no clear path forward for the creation or execution of this fund.
