Climate Change

[Elsa TLC]

Its amazing how this unpredictable weather is consistently getting hotter.

The hottest 10 years ever recorded are all in the last decade. That isn't random change, that's a rising trend with some random variation.

Is this a trend that could have happened in history before.

Our summers tend to be pretty good recently. As they did when we where kids.

But we have had a period of really poor summers.

But even that can be someone's perception?

No - not "ever recorded" -but since modern records have been kept which is not long at all. This "ever recorded" when used in climate is BS - ask a tree ring or the GISP

Yes many times and even quicker and even hotter - its all been gone over in this thread before

Something else with these Hottest since temperatures - it means nothing if it is not at the exact same weather station. And then there is the build up of heat islands adding to the results.

No we dont "know"

Oh we do.

The human fingerprint in global warming

<p>The human fingerprint in global warming is evident in multiple lines of empirical evidence - in satellite measurements of outgoing infrared radiation, in surface measurements of downward infrared radiation, in the cooling stratosphere and other metrics.</p>

That one is one of the biggest misquoted "facts" in the whole argument and one that is constantly regurgitated by people who haven’t actually looked into that figure where it came from and the facts behind it --- spoiler alert -- its BS.

This was revisited in 2021:
" We find that agreement on anthropogenic global warming is high (91% to 100%) and generally increases with expertise. Out of a group of 153 independently confirmed climate experts, 98.7% of those scientists indicated that the Earth is getting warmer mostly because of human activity such as burning fossil fuels. Among those with the highest level of expertise (independently confirmed climate experts who each published 20+ peer reviewed papers on climate change between 2015 and 2019) there was 100% agreement that the Earth is warming mostly because of human activity."
