The Climate Change Thread

maybe he was given a choice: get right on some other issues, like this one, or you get Epsteined.
 
more evidence of global warming:

 
Michael Mann, God of the Leftist Climate Change BS

 
Currently a significant part of Australia has temperatures in the mid 40's Celsius. Climate change alarmists are out in force, despite the fact most of the temperature announcements are followed by the words "highest since....", not "highest on record" or "highest ever".

Cynic that I am, I don't believe these announcements have anything to do with the state of the earth's climate, but are used for network ratings, social media clicks and as an excuse for more government funding that will do absolutely nothing other than to line the pockets of the alarmists.

That's why I pointed out that the fact the temperatures are highest since.... shows there have been higher temperatures in the past, yet the climate change alarmists use the current high temps. as evidence of global warming. II isn't actually the media using these temps to push the climate change agenda, its the commenters on articles and the "influencers". Also the media I don't think are doing it for ratings. In this case I think the media are by and large creating these articles to let people know that these extremely high temps (and associated fire danger) are coming so they can be prepared. There are currently several major bushfires burning in the very areas that are getting these extreme temperatures that are going to be made more intense and potentially spread over a larger area due to the weather conditions.
 
Greta looks sad. She is no longer relevant. Why? Because the democrats dropped her. Her ineffectiveness clearly reflects Democrat policies.
 
Absolutely nothing to see here. Climate change is a liberal myth concocted by communists & the Chinese to make American right-wing conservatives look bad.

"Historic 2026 European wildfires have burned over 434K hectares—double the average and outpacing last year’s record. Fueled by intense heatwaves and droughts, mega-fires in France, Spain, Portugal, and Greece have forced 330K+ evacuations. Climate change is warming Europe twice as fast as the global average, driving extreme atmospheric dryness and transforming dense winter growth into brittle fuel. The fires are burning so fiercely they are creating their own "fire-driven thunderclouds" (pyrocumulonimbus) and pushing far into traditionally humid Atlantic coastal zones."

Nothing a few electric cars can't fix.
 
Things supposedly caused by climate change:

Droughts
Fires
Floods
Heavy rainfall
No rainfall
Warm winters
Cold winters
Heavy snows
No snows
High humidity
No humidity

Where's the famine and mass starvation and vanished polar icecaps and California and Florida disappearing into the oceans we were promised?

Why even the New York Times and the Washington Post have backtracked. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/26/climate/emissions-worst-case-scenario-rcp.html

Sorry about the fires. California had drought and fires last year, this year it's been rain and floods. Yes, the climate changes. All the time.

Feel free to ignore the science and bury your head all you want, OFTB. Nobody will hold it against you, besides perhaps your kids and grandkids. 🤷‍♂️

What science am I ignoring Tibs?

This science, OFTB:

The science of climate change revolves around the greenhouse effect, a well-established physical principle where specific atmospheric gases trap heat to regulate Earth's temperature. While natural factors like orbital shifts and volcanic eruptions have historical impacts, extensive data confirms that human activities—predominantly the burning of fossil fuels—are the primary driver of the rapid warming observed since the industrial era.

I don't deny the planet is slowly warming Tibs, what many of us have argued is that the alarmism over the effects of that are overblown. Now science seems to be admitting that they were just trying to scare us with the worst case scenarios.

Every single weather event is constantly attributed to it, and if you do a deep dive into the science on many of them you'll find that most of it says climate change may be a factor, not that it's the definitive cause. I'm told the hurricanes that hit the US two years ago were because of climate change, whoops we didn't have any last year. Did it get suddenly cooler? El Ninos and La Ninas are weather phenomena that have been around for centuries and have a lot more impact on this stuff.

I also don't have a problem with attempts to curb emissions, to the extent that they're practical and don't cause significant economic and other harm.

I've been on Steeler Nation since my 23 year old was 2, lol. We were told we'd probably be extinct 4 years from now. That seems unlikely, barring getting struck by a massive meteor or the sun exploding or something. The climate has always changed, for millions of years. Humans will adapt, maybe something will happen that we can't adapt to, I just don't think we have as much control over that as you do.

As always, the truth is out there, likely somewhere in between the two extremes regarding Climate Change.

My guttural reaction is against MAGAs whimsically claiming it's all a hoax and bullshit, and dismissing the science - and the real-world realities we're seeing and experiencing - with a wave of their hand. Not saying you're doing this, just a general statement regarding the sentiment on this board, and in this thread, specifically.

I'd go get some water, extra even, for that plant.

Doesn't the new guvmint do contingency planning?

Large Black to go, please.

show the graph going back in time at least 100+ years.
