It's another day, and we get a new story about how dire the climate threat is and that it is unambiguous that humans are a significant cause.
What is rarely noted in these articles is actual facts that support the theory. I would love to see actual temperature data for each decade for the last 150 years, including where the measuring stations are located. It would be especially interesting to see rural data where cement and asphalt don't inflate the temperature. It should also always be noted that a "Little Ice Age" ended in 1715 and that some warming would be normal.
Why don't we see a list of storms, droughts, and floods from each decade to show the trend? Even if there is some sort of a trend, how would it be attributed to humans, since the climate has always changed through billions of years when humans and fossil fuels could have had no effect?
It would be good to see a sample of sea levels throughout the world for each year for the last 150 years. A sample of 100 spots throughout the world may give us a reasonable average for comparison. My guess is that they don't take actual measurements.
Instead of facts, these articles always give us theoretical predictions. I would ask the reporters how many previous predictions of the last 30 or 100 years have been accurate. I can't think of any. Why should we believe the new predictions?
We were told after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 that hurricanes would be more frequent and stronger than ever. Instead, we have had more than eleven years where hurricanes have been mild to nonexistent. Tornado activity has also been lower than normal, so why are we told that storms are getting more extreme?

I have one: American taxpayers will pay the spiraling costs of “Global Climate Change Protection “.
It’s impossible to create a computer program that can accurately calculate the overall effect of the interaction of a huge number of variables. Those variables are not measured accurately, and there are not enough measurements.
In a chaotic system, small changes in values result in huge changes in outcome.
So, no matter what fancy name they give to the program, it will always produce garbage.
Matthew 16
1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
The observant sailor knows the weather.
Weather forecasting: observing what's going on in the heavens in order to determine the reality on the ground.
A prediction that has come true? Sure!
“The weather will continue to change, on and off, for a long long time.” — Al Sleet, the Hippy Dippy Weatherman
If the “models” were actually any good, they could be initialized to the conditions of 1917, and run to produce a 100-year forecast which matched the historical record of the last century.
This, by the way, is what people who actually try to build models that match the real world do ... the process is called “validation”.
If they could do it, the climate “scientists” could shout the results from the rooftops and credibly claim that they had a good model.
The fact that they are not doing it means they can’t, because their models are all crap.
You do crap a disservice by associating it with Climate Scientologists.
We should call them Climate Scientologists.
Science fiction morphing into a religious cult.
“It’s gonna be hot and wet! That’s nice if you’re with a lady, but it ain’t no good if you’re in the jungle.”
-Roosevelt E. Roosevelt (Good Morning Vietnam)
Absolutely!
Tonight’s forecast is mostly dark skies,
followed by widely scattered light in the morning.
If that doesn’t happen, then we are definitely in serious trouble.
“And now for some baseball scores. 5 to 3. 4 to 1. 6 to 5. And one partial score - 4.”
I have finally found a tagline.
Excellent.
You’ve got to wonder how many time Joseph saw the same cycle/pattern: a few good years followed by a few bad, with no one having a lick of sense to store up in the good years to get them through the inevitable bad.
The climate has been steadily warming since the end of the last ice age. It is very likely we will have unrelenting increases until the advent of the next ice age. When the earth is covered in miles-thick ice, billions will die from exposure and starvation. There is nothing Bill Nye the Engineering Guy can do to stop this scenario.
If the Lt. In GMV had been like the AGW alarmists instead of defending the day, that it wasn’t hot bring a degree cooler than yesterday, he’d be in a tizzy because the year’s average was a 1/100th degree warmer than last year’s.
The geologic record demonstrates that change is a constant.
What else would you like to know?
You created a superb tagline.
I will borrow it sometimes.

The land in La Jolla hasn’t moved up or down in the last 130 years. Neither has the ocean. Where is this sea level catastrophe happening? On a sandbar? At current melt rates, it will take 300,000 years for Antarctica to melt.
A lot of erosion has occurred over the last 130 years. In the blink animation above on the note that the rock under the three people standing on the right in the 1871 image is gone, and has formed a small island of boulders with three people sitting on it in the recent image. There is no evidence that sea level has risen.
A few Palm Trees have been planted, but the sea appears to be in exactly the same place it was 130 years ago. In fact the rocks on the upper right are higher above the water now than in the earlier picture (high tide.) There is no glacial rebound in San Diego, and the faults in the region are strike-slip (horizontal) faults. They don’t cause vertical movement. Prior to the March quake this year, the last large quake to hit the region was in 1862.
