One big pet peeve of mine:
They used to call it Global Warming.
Then one day, everyone was saying Climate Change.
However, if the climate gets cooler, dryer, wetter or hotter; all these things are climate change.
But the proponents call it climate change, when really they mean the Earth, due to mankind’s activity, is getting hotter (due to CO2), so the remaining continental ice sheets melt enough to catastrophically raise sea levels, drowning vast human inhabited regions, and causing cold weather species to die off and the artic permafrost to melt and release deadly clouds of frozen methane into the atmosphere.
Is that about right?
Then it’s still ANTHROPOGENIC (caused by man) Global Warming, NOT Climate Change.
The sneaky name change implies they’re trying to pull a fast one over the public.
They are.
Because there isn’t enough evidence to prove any anthropogenic global warming. The Earth’s temperature has risen 1.5 degrees Celsius since 1980, but there is no evidence this was caused by human activity. If it was, then the more CO2 humans put in the air (and this may not be measurable distinctly from diverse natural causes) then we should see a definitive rise in temperatures. But we don’t see this, as we have a well-documented “hiatus” of rising temperatures that defy their theory.
So to hide this and other opinions, they changed the name entirely so they could use ANY measurement of temperature and humidity to “prove” mankind is causing it.
by using change they can have a job no mater which way the temp goes. I like to cal Changers, what is the ideal climate so i know when to move.
The "hiatus" is over: http://images.remss.com/msu/msu_time_series.html but because of the 2016 super El Nino. It will be back, especially as solar activity crashes (has crashed all this past year). There was high enough solar to feed the 2016 El Nino and temporarliy warm the planet. Notice how the 2010 El Nino got short-changed. That was due to low solar. In a nutshell: the sun heats the oceans and the oceans heat the atmosphere in wildly varying amounts, from a lot in a super El Nino, to not at all other times.
But taking away the super El Ninos there's a relatively steady but small amount of warminng. That is manmade, and it is good (see my previous post).
