On a day like yesterday, they should be resigning from office:

We are back to normal 45 today.

But per NOAA data, in 2000, "normal" for Washington DC this time of year was 40. And in 1940 it was 35.

Climate scientists are like the local weatherman. Must be great to have a job where you predict things and don’t get fired for being wrong.

Imagine being as ignorant as you are and being smug about it. Their climate warnings are coming true, though you wouldn’t know that, siloed away from news as you are.

Imagine being snookered by a bunch of failed STEM folks living off of tax payer supplied grants.

Geee....scientific method vs. the oil and gas lobby....who to believe, who to believe?

Government science:

The vaccine will keep you from getting COVID, no wait,

The vaccine will keep you from spreading COVID, no wait

The vaccine will keep you from getting really sick, no wait we need to change the definition of vaccine.

By analogy, climate change equal catastrophic global warming, the ice caps will be gone by 2013, no 2023, no 2033.

I need data.

That could be hunted up. Ice core samples, sediment in water, spores, tree rings… it could be hunted up and posted here in context but it’s pearls before swine like you.

We should take heart: a majority of Americans knows and understands that the climate has changed and is changing and it will not be to the collective benefit of humanity. But the massive scale of the problem and industries that are pretty determined to wring out as many dollars as possible from the planet (and the moron Republicans who make it possible) are daunting.

During covid lockdown people stopped driving so much. Skies cleared. Nature got a break; she was fixing herself. But now businesses need everyone! back! in! the! office! so that their real estate doesn’t cost them so much pointless money. There are fixes to various aspects and inputs. For the most part we’re being blocked from using them.

And a plea again for what yard having homeowners can do: turf grass requires multiple inputs like fertilizer and pesticides plus lots of water. It behaves as an impermeable surface during many rain events and provides no food or habitat for pollinators. Consider turning over a percentage of your turf to perennials native to your area. After an initial period of watering to get their root system established, they require no inputs and provide fodder for life for bugs and birds. The extensive root systems bury carbon annually (some research indicates that turd grass buries none at all). It won’t undo millions of tons of carbon dioxide released, but it’s what we can control on our own.

Because freezing makes you like 9x as dead…

Heat is probably racist AND misogynistic, too.

Summer 2023 was cooler and wetter than normal.

2023 was the world’s warmest year on record, by far

https://www.noaa.gov/news/2023-was-worlds-warmest-year-on-record-by-far#:~:text=Earth's%20average%20land%20and%20ocean,0.15%20of%20a%20degree%20C).

Yes, humans have been tracking temperature since about 1850. So over that period warmest so far.

It was warmer for the dinosaurs, so not the world’s warmest year ever, and colder for the woolly mammoth. The earth’s climate changes over long periods of time. Ever hear of the Milankovitch cycles? NASA has - https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2948/milankovitch-orbital-cycles-and-their-role-in-earths-climate/#:~:text=The%20Milankovitch%20cycles%20include%3A,is%20pointed%2C%20known%20as%20precession.

Ummm...the dinosaurs are extinct.

Due to a massive meteor. But I am sure you will find a reason that global warming also produces meteor crashes.

I’m beginning to think that climate change deniers boast refrigerator temp IQs. Yes, the dinosaurs went extinct because of a massive meteor crash that caused tidal waves so high they reached hundreds of miles inland and set the atmosphere on fire for years.

But the world in which the dinosaurs lived wasn’t exactly hospitable to us living. “The Cretaceous period is an archetypal example of a greenhouse climate. Atmospheric pCO2 levels reached as high as about 2,000 ppmv, average temperatures were roughly 5°C–10°C higher than today, and sea levels were 50–100 meters higher [O’Brien et al., 2017; Tierney et al., 2020]. These conditions resemble the most extreme scenario that the IPCC has predicted could occur by the end of this century, with pCO2 levels greater than 1,200 ppmv and global temperatures roughly 4°C higher [IPCC, 2018].” https://eos.org/science-updates/an-unbroken-record-of-climate-during-the-age-of-dinosaurs

Sounds totes livable, right? Nobody lives within that level of sea rise* and we can grow food if it’s that warm because all our crops will for sure be adapted to those temperatures and weather patterns and no new plant viruses would exist.

The insurance industry is already pulling out of Florida.

Useful idiots for the fossil fuel industry will continue to natter on how it's all a big fake hoax and a commie liberal conspiracy even as other industries that are entirely based on data and assessing risk know full well that it's very much real and a huge problem.

This isn't about liberals versus conservatives. It's about the long term propaganda and brainwashing the fossil fuel industry has done to deny the risks. Same thing was done with tobacco and leaded gas for decades. And in fact, in the 1990s and earlier, the fossil fuel industry hired the same propagandists and continues to use the exact same playbook.
