2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.
3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.
4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.
5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.
6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.
7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
Hmmmm. What's that chirping sound?
“Just give us your money”
I think they mean ‘summer’ - starts next week...
I have never heard of the journal Earth’s Future. Must be published by Gaia worshippers.
And regarding the comment about the wildfires, could it be just that more people now are moving into areas where there was very little or no housing in those areas back in a year like 1960 or even 1980 and where the wildfires had always been part of the natural cycle?
I hear crickets when ever I ask certain questions of people such as those you mention here.
For example, I get no response or babbling, when I mention that we have seen sustained global warming which caused the end of various ice ages in Earth’s history. So then, wasn’t some global warming a good thing, I ask of some people I talk to.
Crickets or babbling is the response.
Isn’t the fact that we have seen climatic shifts in Earth’s history, happening well before the Industrial Revolution, clear evidence that there are natural cycles happening, which we probably don’t understand and have no control over anyway.
Again, no coherent response.
And again, I get no coherent response, to questions about, even if the worst happens, won’t we adapt to such changes?
These yobs never address what to do about the largest contributor to climate change (and that’s true forever) VOLCANOES
Oh no, oh no! The sun’s hotter! What’ll we DO???
That must be why the furnace came on in my basement day before yesterday. Middle of June, and the heat is running.
Setting the stage for the end of the current paucity of Sun spots, blaming “man, er, ‘human’-made climate change” for the Sun’s cyclical effects?
In Wisconsin as at the Golf US open tourney south of San Francisco it’s in the mid 50s today.
Define how one “average” temperature can be determined for the earth in a way that is not off by 1 or 2 degrees.
it's 66d right now, the historical avg is 76d... and it's raining
We're all gonna die!
People in Chicago almost froze to death during that last global warming in winter.
One big question (or two): What caused the last ice age -and- what caused it to end? Global warming in both cases??
Every bit of weather is now the “new normal” until the next bit of weather is the “new new normal”. After Katrina, we were told that the new normal was the US mainland getting hit with 5 or 6 major hurricanes every year. In reality, we weren’t hit by a single hurricane for about a decade after Katrina.
This is one of the coolest Junes I can ever remember, from 1957-today. It should be around 98 right now with a 70% humidity.
It is in the low 80s.
