No one ever mentions what the estimate of uncertainty is with these measurements. Such a value is not just a guess. It can be calculated.
Given that the Earth is so huge, the estimate of uncertainty here could well be 1 degree Celsius, or even more. In that case the original measurement would be meaningless.
Either way - it’s just assertions. This is all “correlation equals causation”. Nope. The climate is always changing and their models do not back-cast well, so why should I believe forecasts?
There’s no evidence extreme weather events have doubled. They just state that it has and provide zero science behind the statement.
The Earth may just be continuing to warm as it has been since before the industrial revolution. Even if man is responsible they’re required to show science behind what it would be doing anyway (if we didn’t exist) and what we’ve contributed, assuming anything. What is the delta? Nobody can say.
This all stands, ultimately, against the last argument they can make, “but what if you’re wrong?”. That argument is declaring you don’t *really* know but do as we say anyway because they “might be right”. Sorry, cheap, abundant, and reliable energy brings nations our of poverty and all of their ‘solutions’ are fascistic policies. The onus is those making the claim to PROVE it. Just making wild claims without pointing to the science doesn’t cut it, it becomes just another liberal making non-scientific assertions.
All over something that is 0.04% of the atmosphere and necessary for all life.
