CNN: Our climate plans are in pieces as killer summer shreds records
CNN ^ | August 7, 2018 | By Angela Dewan

Posted on 08/07/2018 12:10:17 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Deadly fires have scorched swaths of the Northern Hemisphere this summer, from California to Arctic Sweden and down to Greece on the sunny Mediterranean. Drought in Europe has turned verdant land barren, while people in Japan and Korea are dying from record-breaking heat.

Climate change is here and is affecting the entire globe -- not just the polar bears or tiny islands vulnerable to rising sea levels -- scientists say. It is on the doorsteps of everyday Americans, Europeans and Asians, and the best evidence shows it will get much worse.

Remarkably, scientists can now work out in just a matter of days how much human-induced climate change has had to do with a particular weather event, using a combination of observation, historical data and current information from weather stations.

Scientists have been able to use this kind of modeling for more than a decade, but improved technology now allows them to do it nearly in real time, letting people understand the links between what they are seeing and climate change.

Despite the deadly summer, overwhelming evidence that humans are altering the planet, and ever-improving science that links specific weather events to global warming, the international politics around the issue of climate change are in disarray. And there are alarming signs that the planet may be in worse shape than ever before.

August.

It happens every year.

New Jersey tomatoes finally hit the market just last week, a full three weeks late, because we have had such a mild Spring and Early Summer.

One of the Environmentalist biblical signs of the end times.

Climate plans?

Wear shorts. Visit a water park. Maybe go to the beach.

Killer winter in the Southern Hemisphere is also shredding records.

Do they mention that?

Of course not.

Arson, lightening strikes, and carelessness with fire must be climate change, too.

Unsubstantiated, unverifiable hyperbole much?

Whats funny is i often see extreme high temp records from the late 1800s and well before the media went nuts about temps. they never seem o do a story about the fact so many high temp records are well before the junk science trend to blame iton global warming.

They also conveniently forget the mid to late 70s when all the major media freakout stories were that we were all going to die and be buried in another ice age.

All weather stories from big media is about establishing and advancing more socialist control over people.
