The First Time In Us History That Kids Are Testifying In Court About The Effects Of Climate Change On Their Wellbeing.

[CrowCross]

There you go again. You are entitled to believe anything you want regarding climate change without evidence but don't expect anyone to find you seriously without well-established scientific evidence.

I've already mentioned in inaccuracy of the 1900's temperature detecting instruments.

Unfortunately for us and the fate of earth Climate Tipping Points Are Closer Than Once Thought. Exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius of global warming

Did it? Temperature devices didn't really get good until the late 80's.

could trigger several climate tipping points and lead to irreversible climate impacts. A new analysis shows 2023 exceeded 1.5C of warming on average for the first time, a key limit in the Paris Climate Agreement. Those who think climate change is a hoax should be careful for what they wish for. The U.S. was hit with a record 28 billion-dollar weather and climate disasters in 2023. These events resulted in an estimated 492 lives lost and over $93 billion in damages. 2023 marks the first time on record that every day within a year has exceeded 1°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial level. Close to 50% of days were more than 1.5°C warmer then the 1850-1900 level, and two days in November were, for the first time, more than 2°C warmer. Keep complaining about the ridiculous changes that no one is being forced to make. Such choices may soon be unavailable.

Your article opened up with a bogus statement....Global surface air temperature increase relative to the average for 1850-1900,.....
Q...what temp instruments were used? Where did they take the temperatures? How many data points were used? Sheeze, the difference is like comparing a Hubble image to a Webb image.

 

[Frank Robert]

I've already mentioned in inaccuracy of the 1900's temperature detecting instruments.

I agree you are living in the ancient past.

You may have mentioned but you did not present one iota of scientific evidence. You neglected all the year to year improvements in both the science and instrumentation since the 1900s.

Not that I want to compare the Bible with Science but the Bible does not change ever even thought interpretations change while science progresses daily.

Did it? Temperature devices didn't really get good until the late 80's.

Which does not mean that the previous ones gave grossly inappropriate readings.

You appear not to know what evidence is. If you say "Temperature devices didn't really get good until the late 80" you need to provide the evidence what you mean by "bad." Was it 1 degree bad or perhaps only a 1/2 degree. You need to do own homework before making unsubstantiated claims. In addition you need to do a bit of research on how the data was verified such as:

It is no secret that the accuracy of temperature readings from the 1880s is subject to some uncertainties due to the limitations of measurement instruments and methods available during that time. However, scientists and researchers have found ways to to validate historical temperature data:

1. Instrument Calibration: Scientists calibrate historical temperature data by comparing it to known standards and modern measurement techniques. This involves adjusting for any biases or inaccuracies associated with the instruments used in the past.
2. Metadata Examination: Researchers examine the metadata associated with historical temperature records. This includes information about the instruments, measurement locations, and recording practices. Understanding the context in which the data was collected helps in assessing its reliability.
3. Comparison with Independent Data Sources: Historical temperature data is often compared with other independent sources of information, such as proxy data (e.g., tree rings, ice cores) or historical documents. Consistency across multiple sources lends credibility to the accuracy of temperature readings.
4. Quality Control Procedures: Scientists apply quality control procedures to identify and correct errors in historical datasets. This may involve removing outliers, addressing inconsistencies, and homogenizing data to ensure its reliability.
5. Spatial Coverage Considerations: Recognizing the limitations in spatial coverage during the 1880s, researchers consider the availability and distribution of weather stations. The uneven distribution of stations may introduce biases, and efforts are made to account for this in data analysis.

I am unsure what you are saying claiming. Saying a statement is bogus does not make it so. if you have evidence it is bogus present it instead of you climate denial misinformation. I presented graphs of the changes with links tell us why you disagree. In your numerous comments we have not seen one iota of scientific evidence but loads of fossil fuel industry misinformation. If you want to make an impression you will need to provide legitimate climate science from scientific journals. Otherwise you are just spinning your wheels.

IF all you are capable of doing is to regurgitate debunked fossil fuel industry deception and misinformation you are just digging yourself into a deeper hole to hide in. You can better spend your time on bringing yourself up to date on the actual climate science. If you do so you won't be shocked when reality hits.

I have no reason to doubt that you used to be a temperature instrument technician. What you have consistently failed to substantiate are your claims against the effects of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels on climate change.

Here is a tiny bit of the specific evidence that fossil fuels affect the climate:

• Increased carbon dioxide: When fossil fuels are burned, they release carbon dioxide, the most significant greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, causing the planet to warm.
• Other greenhouse gases: Fossil fuels also release other greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide, which contribute to global warming.
• Aerosols: Burning fossil fuels also releases aerosols, tiny particles that can reflect sunlight back into space. However, these aerosols can also trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to warming.
• Ocean acidification: As carbon dioxide dissolves in the ocean, it makes the water more acidic. This can harm marine life and ecosystems.

I have no reason to doubt that you used to be a temperature instrument technician. What you have consistently failed to substantiate are your claims against the effects of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels on climate change.

What you have failed to do is show that burning coal, gas and other fossil fuel have cause any temperature rise on earth.

All you have done is climb onboard the climate bandwagon and started to beat their drum.

Here is a tiny bit of the specific evidence that fossil fuels affect the climate:

• Increased carbon dioxide: When fossil fuels are burned, they release carbon dioxide, the most significant greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, causing the planet to warm.

You do know cabon dioxide is good? Trees love it....they grow bigger. Tree's provide oxygen for us to breath.

• Other greenhouse gases: Fossil fuels also release other greenhouse gases, such as methane and nitrous oxide, which contribute to global warming.

Soooooooooo...the answer is to cull most of the cows and put fart trapping bags on them? Then eat zee bugs like your buddy Schwab wants you to do?

• Aerosols: Burning fossil fuels also releases aerosols, tiny particles that can reflect sunlight back into space. However, these aerosols can also trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to warming.

Reflecting sunlight back into space would help with global warming...in fact Billy gates wants to try this. Sun dimming technology...won't this also trap in heat like your artile claims?

• Ocean acidification: As carbon dioxide dissolves in the ocean, it makes the water more acidic. This can harm marine life and ecosystems.

The earth is 70+ % covered with water...if i the earth was smooth like a cue ball the water would be 2 miles or so deep....and you're gonna blame carbon dioxide for making it more acid? I think you should worry more about the plastic were dumping into it.

What you have failed to do is show that burning coal, gas and other fossil fuel have cause any temperature rise on earth.

It appears that you unaware of the overwhelming scientific consensus that fossil fuels are the primary cause of human-induced climate change. It is also obvious that you are unaware of that means so I'll explain at a high school level:

This means that the vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists agree that burning fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and gas, is the main driver of the observed warming of the planet and its associated climate changes.​

Here's a summary of the evidence supporting this consensus:

• Multiple studies: Multiple studies analyzing published research by climate scientists have found a consensus exceeding 98% agreement that human activities are causing climate change. Some recent surveys even estimate the consensus as high as 100%.
• Scientific organizations: Leading scientific organizations around the world, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), and the American Meteorological Society (AMS), all endorse the conclusion that human activities, primarily fossil fuel burning, are the dominant cause of the observed warming trend.
• Multiple lines of evidence:The scientific evidence for human-caused climate change comes from a variety of sources, including:
  • Atmospheric observations: Direct measurements of increasing greenhouse gas concentrations (particularly CO2) in the atmosphere, which coincide with the rise in global temperatures.
  • Temperature records: Instrumental and proxy temperature records (from sources like ice cores and tree rings) show a clear warming trend over the past century and a half, with the rate of warming accelerating in recent decades.
  • Climate models: Sophisticated computer models of the Earth's climate system consistently simulate the observed warming trend when accounting for human influences, but not when they do not.

All you have done is climb onboard the climate bandwagon and started to beat their drum.

There is no drum to beat by agreeing with the consensus. You can check the scientific journals yourself or you can continue to eat up the fossil fuel industry deceit and misinformation.

You do know cabon dioxide is good? Trees love it....they grow bigger. Tree's provide oxygen for us to breath.

Of course its good, but in moderation. You can check it out by putting yourself in a closed room and pumping in CO2.

Soooooooooo...the answer is to cull most of the cows and put fart trapping bags on them? Then eat zee bugs like your buddy Schwab wants you to do?

It appears the logical and healthy solution of eating less meat and more vegetables is beyond your grasp.

Reflecting sunlight back into space would help with global warming...in fact Billy gates wants to try this. Sun dimming technology...won't this also trap in heat like your artile claims?

Sun dimming is a complex and evolving topic with both unintended and technical concerns which need further research and discussions.

The earth is 70+ % covered with water...if i the earth was smooth like a cue ball the water would be 2 miles or so deep....and you're gonna blame carbon dioxide for making it more acid?

It is our overuse of fossil fuels that is presently making our oceans more acidic.

I think you should worry more about the plastic were dumping into it.

Plastic polution are certainly a cause to be concerned about and is one of the things we need to educate ourselves on how best to limit the damage of not only plastics but all environmental pollution. The goal should be a balance between our needs and maintaining a healthy earth environment. I think you are aware that the Bible mentions the Earth as God's creation numerous times and that we should take care of it.

The bottom line is that humans are juveniles who have failed to learn how to live in a finite world with limited resources.

I would suggest you stop eating meat from farting cows....get off the carbon grid....stop driving your car...get rid of your gas range and wood stove...chop down a few trees...put solar panels on your roof...and go bother China and India rather than me.

 

[Frank Robert]

Let me rephrase in a more fruitful manner. Each of us are capable of making informed choices so I suggest that we each do our best to live in a way that meets our basic needs while at same time protects the environment for future generations. We should be aware that many people are unable to have their basic needs met because of inequality or other factors and those of us who are more fortunate should help when we are able to do so.

...and go bother China and India rather than me.

I am/was responding to your comments that were directed to me and/or about areas of climate disagreement. I provided commentary and links to the scientific consensus. If that has upset you then perhaps you should not avail yourself to such forum discussions.

You can ignore what I write while others may find it informative.

Yes you can do whatever you want as long as you can afford to do so. Unfortunately there are many who have can not afford basis needs let alone luxuries. As I said in a previous comment we or make informed decisions. I or no one else can dictate what others do, only our own conscience can do that.

Unmasking Dark Money: How Fossil Fuel Interests Can Undermine Clean Energy Progress

Yes, you're making informan decision based upon what guys like John Kerry say....after the fly around the world in their carbon burping jet liners.

What university did John Kerry receive his degrees in climate science? If has become exceedingly obvious that you like to make stuff up?

Yes, the transistor doesn't pollute.

Even though transistors do not take much energy, you won't get much work out of transistors w/o energy. Energy is even needed for the batteries that some transistors work. Most of our energy comes from fossil fuels but that could be changing.

The good news. Many industries and countries have been taking the climate seriously, not only because of the effects of climate pollution on weather and health but also due due to high costs of adjusting to the climate change along with the cost of fossil fuels.

This month, a cold front swept across much of Europe and giant tankers that carry fuel through the Red Sea were rerouted to avoid escalating violence. That should have pushed gas prices higher. Instead, they just kept falling.​

​

Europe is benefiting from having amassed record gas reserves last year, along with help from renewable....​

​

That's been enough to boost confidence across trading desks that the region is on a stable-enough footing to get through the rest of the winter with gas to spare. Benchmark European prices are currently trading under €30 a megawatt-hour, about a tenth of the peak levels in 2022.​

​

It's now relying more on renewables, and will have to deal with the intermittency of that power generation. With the loss of Russian gas, on which it was overly dependent before the invasion of Ukraine, it's also had to look elsewhere to fulfill its fuel needs. That means vying for a share of foreign liquefied natural gas cargoes with other parts of the world. (Europe moves into a new world.)​

​

My guess is that you are both against reducing climate pollution along with lower energy costs.

Does Obama have his sea level house up for sale? I mean, all of that melting ice.

Are you saying John Kerry isn't a mouth piece for "climate change"? Then again it appears he did step down. Perhaps we should listen to Greta Thunberg...she has a degree...right?

Even though transistors do not take much energy, you won't get much work out of transistors w/o energy. Energy is even needed for the batteries that some transistors work. Most of our energy comes from fossil fuels but that could be changing.

And without energy like the transistor...you don't work.

Do you have an intelligent argument against man made climate warming? If you do you have been keeping it secret as all you do appears you are on a mission to demonstrate your gigantic ignorance with unintelligible garble. You have not answered any of the questions I asked. It appears is your only mission is to burn me out with ignorant trivia.

Are you saying John Kerry isn't a mouth piece for "climate change"? Then again it appears he did step down. Perhaps we should listen to Greta Thunberg...she has a degree...right?

More ignorance triva? You don't even appear to know the difference between a scientist and a spokesperson.

And without energy like the transistor...you don't work.

You also appear ignorant over the proper use of technology almost as mauch as the damaging effects of overuse of fossil fuels.

Nord Stream went BOOM.

Nord Stream was a political decision to cut off Russian income from Western Europe. Unfortunately, it is backfiring, but that is another subject that you would not know anything about.

Your comments demonstrate an immense deficit of knowledge, not only about fossil fuels but about technology, trade politics and current wars and pretty much about everything else you made claims about. Normally, I wouldn't be so condescending on someone like you but you failure to demonstrate any knowledge outside of fossil fuel disinformation appears purposeful.

To see how poorly constructed 'climate science' is, see my stream at X. @MarcusSanford20. Prob 1 of 10 are about climate fraud. Fraud is now the official modus operandi of Western society, because Blackrock's $Ts can 'create reality' as it suits.

I have been in SE AK for 3 winters now. 2 are record cold and snowfall. But the score is not kept on temperatures anyway. The fraud score is that CO2 is not what causes problems, as countless examples show in my X stream. It is nature. In 1760, the mouth of Glacier Bay was still ice. Praytell the factors in in the north Pacific 1760, 70, 80 that would have drastically raised the temperature since then? That icefield is a remnant of the Biblical cataclysm, and has been melting since. It extended (on the West coast) as far south as the moguls of Olympia WA.

Juneau is a great leveler. It's icon glacier has retracted a lot. 12000 tourists come each day in the summer to see it and weep. But 10 miles away is Hole In the Wall. HW started in 1930. It is a side finger of Taku, which I believe is more land mass than Vermont. In photos of the location (historic Taku Lodge) in 1930, HW did not exist. Now it has come down to the valley floor and its 'falls' (the cross-section line where flakes tip over the edge of the ridge) has a profile the height and width of downtown Seattle.

But the tourists don't see this unless they pay Blackrock partner tours $400 for the side trip.

A few years ago, climate scientists went to the top of Taku, to the ice station, to see and mourn, in July. They only got out twice that month because of the massive ongoing snowfall and limited manual labor to dig out. As far as I know, this is where the expression 'insensitive' (re climate change) came from; Taku was declared so large that it was insensitive. Exactly, you frauds.

Here is a report on the present state of Juneau.

Juneau's Changing Climate & Community Response​

The Alaska Coastal Rainforest Center (ACRC) is pleased to bring you this report on climate change. ACRC and the University of Alaska Southeast Juneau reside on the ancestral lands of the Áak’w Kwáan Tlingit. Long before western observations of climate change, Indigenous people of Southeast Alaska observed and responded adaptively to changes in this dynamic environment, including rapid glacial advances and retreats, sea-level rise and fall, and a host of extreme events that are well-documented in oral histories. We honor and respect Indigenous experience with climate change and the intergenerational wisdom that has guided Alaska Natives through earlier periods of environmental changes.​

​

Now, a new era of climate change unprecedented in human history is upon us, and Juneau, as a modern capital city and regional hub, must respond and adapt accordingly. Juneau’s citizens have launched an innovative carbon offset program, its scientists engage in impactful marine, temperate forest, and glacial research, and its downtown port holds the world’s first plug-in shore power for cruise ships to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Yet, even with Juneau’s initiatives and successes, many questions remain about the nature and scale of the changes that are coming.​

​

ACRC and its research partners, including federal, state, and tribal organizations, and other entities, share this sense of urgency. By prioritizing scientific investigations of local impacts of social-environmental change in the Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest and its coastal margins, ACRC seeks to inform the wellbeing of communities, ecosystems, and key species that support the livelihoods, cultures, and socio-economic systems of our unique bioregion. This report is designed as a living document to inform the community, decision-makers, and academics and to serve as a learning and teaching tool.​

​

re fraud: see my stream at X: @MarcusSanford20. About 1 of 10 posts is about this kind of fraud; there are many others in medicine, industry, gov, education, etc. It's almost ubiquitous. And funded by Blackrock.

 

[Bob Carabbio]

Your hackneyed rhetoric is evident from your inability to produce one iota of evidence against climate change.

Chuckle!!! "Climate change" is a constant - been going on for millennia, and will continue to occur until God brings the age to a close. Whether or not we humans can actually do anything about it is the issue, and it's a given, that one volcanic eruption easily erases our puny efforts in that regard.

The Likelyhood is, however that the end of the age is approaching, and all the efforts and breast beating mean little or nothing. The "Electric car" hysteria (after this winter) is apparently being recognized for the scam it's always been. BUT HEY!!! "climate change", properly manipulated is a good "economic engine"!!!!
