Climate Change

MNW67 said:
The analogy is massively exaggerated. It is not really a wobble. But the story itself is interesting. Apparently, in the past couple of decades, enormous amounts of water have moved from the land to the oceans and this has caused a tiny shift in the earth's axis.

Apparently, a computer model is no more reliable than the parameters it is given.
In an anonymous poll, 97% of scientists agree to agree with whatever keeps them employed by this time next month.

I hope you haven't changed your avatar because of what I said. Sometimes I forget that with great power comes great responsibility.
 
The debate is settled on man made climate change. Find a new topic.
 
Scientists predict climate change will cause more extreme weather events.
More extreme weather events happen.
Deniers claim scientists are just making it up cos somebody is paying them to lie...
Maybe we should ask those kids that drowned in a flash flood what they think. Or the people burning in their homes, or the millions starving because harvests fail ...

Some research and stats .... (all made up of course!!! all lies, none of this is really happening all around us!)

  • Nearly 300 million people suffered high levels of acute food insecurity in 2024. This number specifically refers to those in a state of acute food insecurity, where weather extremes were a primary driver for 18 countries, affecting over 96 million people. This figure indicates that climate-related harvest failures are a major contributing factor to overall food crises. (Global Report on Food Crises 2025, published in May 2025, covering 2024 data).



  • The overall number of people facing acute food insecurity and malnutrition rose for the sixth consecutive year in 2024, exceeding 295 million people across 53 countries and territories. While conflict and economic shocks are also significant drivers, weather extremes, particularly El Niño-induced droughts and floods, pushed over 96 million people in 18 countries into food crises. (UNICEF, May 2025).



  • A Stanford study highlighted that warming and air dryness have intensified across nearly every major farming region, causing grain yields (wheat, barley, maize) to plummet by 4% to 13%. The study emphasizes that even "small" percentage losses can affect "enough food for hundreds of millions of people." (Earth.com, May 2025).



  • In Southern Africa, millions of people are expected to require food aid due to extreme drought conditions. (EU Science Hub, October 2024).


  • The Horn of Africa has been in the grip of one of the worst hunger crises in 70 years, with millions of lives at risk due to failed harvests, mass livestock deaths, and water shortages directly linked to global warming and drought. (Act on Climate Change, February 2025).


  • In the UK, farmers lost over £1 billion in arable crop income in 2024, primarily due to severe wet weather. Wheat production dropped by over 20%, and oilseed rape by over 30%. While imports helped insulate shoppers, this highlights significant domestic harvest failures. (Farmers Weekly, June 2025).
In summary, while a precise global figure solely for "people affected by failed harvests" isn't isolated, reports indicate that tens of millions, and potentially hundreds of millions, of people have been affected by food insecurity directly linked to climate-induced failed harvests in the last year or so, contributing to the nearly 300 million people facing high levels of acute food insecurity globally in 2024.

And then there's the fires ...

Yep I agree with all of that totally no arguments from me about that at all. So what is the point you think you are making.
