Nope. We're saving lives by keeping the A/C running!

There's bound to be some Malthusian environmentalists out there who are happy with less people to be around to be generating CO2 and therefore not appreciative of your efforts to keep them alive.

I spent two weeks at the family century farm in the mid 80’s. No central air, played 18 holes in 96 degree heat at Ames CC. Somehow survived.

Iowa has apparently gone soft…

This looks like a fairly good place to put this instead of continuing to try to find a Climate Change thread.

See https://www.climate.gov/news-features/u ... ure%20data. Remember when people were saying global warming had stopped? That was during 1998 through 2012. Here's a page on that last updated in 2018: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/c ... 0to%20zero.

If you look at the graph on the page at the first link (you can click on it to see it bigger), you can see that 1998 through 2012 was indeed fairly flat. If that's all you were looking at, you wouldn't see much evidence of a warming trend. Here's what it looks like:



But now it's clear that the warming trend had not stopped. Now, we are at a point where the past 8 complete years were characterized by the highest 8 mean global temperatures on record. That cannot reasonably be explained by chance. We are looking at England having it's highest temperature ever after setting it's previous record in 2019. We are looking at British airfields having to shut down because the heat affected the runways. We are looking at Canada having 120 degree temperatures last year.

I am conservative in terms of statistics. There is a rule that cause and effect cannot be inferred without controlled experimentation. So I have said in the past that it is important to note that controlled experimentation is not possible with respect to climate change.

However, as a practical matter, a point comes where the prudent course is to go with what the observational data suggest. At this point, it's time for all to admit that things have generally gone the way Climate Scientists were saying they would go back in the 1980s. As a general matter they predicted this warming trend. It's time to stop saying they were wrong. It is time to stop dismissing their warnings. Time for the heads to come out of the ground.

How did the glacier that used to be over my house melt?

It got warmer during the Younger-Drias period. One theory is that a large meteor strike in Canada flash melted a bunch of the ice which led to biblical flooding and also created a few years of increased water vapor in the atmosphere and a wet, cooler global climate.

What caused the little ice age?

How do current CO2 levels compare to historical CO2 levels?

Haven’t looked. IIRC, the little ice age had something to do with Gulf Stream reduction for a number of years.

If you fly by private jet (esp a 747) and ride around in huge convoys of jumbo size SUVs, consuming in one day more gas and spewing more carbon than most people do in a lifetime, and then talk about how ‘Climate Change’ is an existential threat, you are the ultra hypocrite..

President Biden on Friday cruised through Rome with an 85-vehicle motorcade — drawing criticism for the poor optics ahead of a global warming summit in Glasgow, Scotland, to which Biden is bringing about a dozen top US officials.

“Biden arriving at the Vatican. His motorcade is lonnnnnng,” tweeted Washington Post reporter Chico Harlan, along with a video of the procession.

“#Decarbonize this,” one person captioned the video.

“America’s Marie Antoinette class is Washington’s elites – and that shows it,” another person responded.

Fossil fuels keeping people from freezing to death this weekend. Midwest grid operators called emergency alerts yesterday and TVA was asking for load shed. MISO called a Max Gen event yesterday. Midwest grid operators on heightened alert through tomorrow.

Maybe it isn't because of global warming but the weather is and will continue to have an impact in southeastern coastal areas.

Farmers Insurance is the 4th major insurer to leave Florida, underlining insurance crisis

Now that Farmers Insurance has decided to join more than a dozen other Florida insurance companies that have stopped writing home insurance policies in the state, over 100,000 homeowners are scrambling to find new coverage in a dwindling yet critical industry.
...
Floridians on average are paying over $4,200 for their yearly home insurance premium, an increase of 42% compared with last year, Mark Friedlander, spokesperson for the Insurance Information Institute, told USA Today. By comparison, the average annual premium in the U.S. costs $1,700.

Let's pick a fight with Disney, deny the impact of climate change and then whine like Karens when things go to hell in a handbasket.

Because most of the Florida population lives on/near the overdeveloped coast. It has nothing to do with so called climate change. Its because govt subsidized coastal overdevelopment by getting involved in the flood insurance business over a half century ago. Never should have gotten involved..

That's probably part of the problem but it isn't that simple. If that was it, insurers would stay in the state and adjust rates accordingly just for coastal developments. Climate change and litigation are also part of the problem but the Conks will stick their heads in the sand and shirk responsibility.

Florida’s insurance crisis: DeSantis says ‘knock on wood’ during hurricane season

While speaking on the Howie Carr show Wednesday, DeSantis said he thinks more insurance companies will return to Florida after the Hurricane Season. The Governor doesn’t appear to be entertaining the idea of another special session, which some senators say is needed to bring homeowners relief.

Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands, like these Germans did, with the climatologist lunatics blocking roadways, accomplishing nothing but pissing off the general public, and ironically causing MORE pollution. The hot blond grabbing the one lefty chick by the hair and dragging her away twice while cussing in German



You’re going to glue your hand to a runway and then flip out because it hurts being unglued..
