Climate deniers use past heat records to sow doubt online

Barcelona (AFP) – With Europe gripped by successive heatwaves, climate-change deniers are spreading scepticism by publishing data on social media on extreme temperatures allegedly recorded decades ago to imply scientists are exaggerating global warming.

But experts say the figures cited from the past are often incorrect or taken out of context -- and even if accurate do not change the fact that heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense.

The posts typically include heat records from almanacs or newspaper reports from the past, arguing that they are similar to the record highs set during this year's heatwaves in Europe.

Climate scientists overwhelmingly agree that carbon emissions from humans burning fossil fuels are heating the planet, raising the risk, length and severity of heatwaves and other extreme weather events.

"These figures of high temperatures (in the past) do not discredit the existence of climate change," said Jose Luis Garcia, a climate change expert at Greenpeace in Spain.

"They are unrelated. One thing is one-off temperature data and another very different thing is the tendency towards an increase in the average temperature."

Globullchit Warming Nazis have to be the dumbest, most easily led by their nose rings, low info puppets around.

There’s always climate change. In fact trying to mess with mother nature by changing things is how they will screw things up which is hard to do with a self-healing durable planet like earth. They will find a way though and they will tax billions of people extra to do it while filling their fat wallets in the meantime.

Back when nobody had A/C in their house, office, or car, a 90 degree day was hardly newsworthy.

Now it’s like the end of the world.

Crazy.

Has anybody from the climate-change group answered what caused the last ice age to melt?.
