Climate records tumble, leaving Earth in uncharted territory - scientists
BBC News ^ | July 22, 2023 | By Georgina Rannard, Erwan Rivault, Jana Tauschinski

A series of climate records on temperature, ocean heat, and Antarctic sea ice have alarmed some scientists who say their speed and timing is unprecedented.

Dangerous heatwaves in Europe could break further records, the UN says.

It is hard to immediately link these events to climate change because weather - and oceans - are so complex.

Studies are under way, but scientists already fear some worst-case scenarios are unfolding.

"I'm not aware of a similar period when all parts of the climate system were in record-breaking or abnormal territory," Thomas Smith, an environmental geographer at London School of Economics, says.

"The Earth is in uncharted territory" now due to global warming from burning fossil fuels, as well as heat from the first El Niño - a warming natural weather system - since 2018, says Imperial College London climate science lecturer Dr Paulo Ceppi.

We can certainly expect more and more of these records to break as the year goes on and we enter 2024, scientists say.

But it would be wrong to call what is happening a "climate collapse" or "runaway warming", cautions Dr Otto.

We are in a new era, but "we still have time to secure a liveable future for many", she explains.

“... alarmed some scientists ...”

Scientists? No. Political hacks. That’s all they are.

“Perhaps it’s the Sun?”

Yes. That and geomagnetic activity and Cosmic Rays.

The scam never ends. But it is, for some reason, always more prevalent in the summer. I wonder why.

And every cold snap in the winter is climate change as well. And in the spring when it rains? Climate change. Hurricane season in the fall is also climate change, whether there are too many or too few hurricanes.

Mankind and all it’s energy consumed has little or no effect in global temperatures.

There is a lot of Fake Science that tries to hijack that.

Yes, Smog is less in US cities today. But CO2 is not poison and plant life flourishes due to it’s effect.

Solutions will not come from Top Down approaches. Centralized government is always a total failure. Mass data compilation will not overcome that fact.

Power Corrupts and Absolute Power tends to corrupt absolutely.

I love science, all technologies, but I hate how they are being used today. It is driven by agenda, not by the truth.

“Climate change” = “implement communism”.

They never complain about China’s carbon output because China already has a communist government.

They are at war with the West.

The top two targets of strategic bombing campaigns are energy production and manufacturing.

Unfortunately “science” saw fit to blow its credibility on the COVID scam.

I want to see the poles melted. I’m curious to find out if there are signs of settlements under all that ice. Heck, they recently discovered vast bodies of water deep in the earth. The water is superheated, but the pressure keeps it from boiling. It’s a real pressure cooker down there. That wasn’t known last year.

The middle earth folks don’t want the ice melted as it would reveal the door to middle earth.

Compare and contrast Covid hysterical reporting, and outright lying, with Climate Change hysteria and lying by the MSM.

Bull shit.
A fraction of a degree and the con artists go into hysterics attempting to panic the rest of us.

How did one who lived in George Washington’s day read a mercury thermometer to the .1 of a degree? Try it sometime.

Don’t forget that until the invention of the weather satellite there were huge areas, probably more than 50% of the earth’s surface where there was no weather reporting of any kind, crude or otherwise. That is especially true of the oceans.

So rantin that it is the end of the world because it is “the hottest in history” is a flat out lie, whether intentional or not.

I just watched Climate Hustle 2 with Kevin Sorbo on Newsmax last nite. Excellent vid explaining the whole global warming/climate change scam by the left.

Yes. And have you noticed that they are actually giving names to strong breezes now? When current tropical storm Don was still a "sub-tropical depression," they named it. The wind was a terrifying 30-35 mph. And many weather reports are now being printed in terrifying RED . Anything to induce hysteria... and compliance.

I read that the earth has tilted about 35 inches from something. I think a new dam in China. I can’t image what the pyramids caused. Maybe they should be taken down and the stones scattered.

https://farmpolicynews.illinois.edu/2023/07/despite-early-dryness-massive-corn-and-soybean-harvest-expected/

…Reuters News reported yesterday that, “The government said on Wednesday that U.S. farmers will harvest massive crops of both corn and soybeans this year, boosting the supply base despite drought conditions stressing plants during early stages of development.

“The unexpectedly large forecasts immediately pushed down corn and soy futures, potentially easing inflation and making U.S. exports more competitive with South America in coming months…

Go frighten those that frighten- mush brained communists and kids under 6. While at it you can molest them in other ways with your nonsense.
