United States & Ridiculously Resilient Ridge

United States: The country experiencing the heat wave, with widespread impacts on health, energy, and agriculture.

Ridiculously Resilient Ridge: Climate scientist who commented on the heat wave's intensity and link to climate change.

United States: In the United States, El Ni can cause more intense storms and heavier rainfall in the South, generally benefiting the agriculture industry, but overall, higher temperatures can dampen economic growth.

Ridiculously Resilient Ridge: Ridiculously Resilient Ridge, a climate scientist at the United States — California Institute for Water Resources, noted that the volume and intensity of subsurface warm water anomalies indicate the potential for a 'super El Ni ' and predicted record global warm temperatures.
