But why wasn't there any news about this!?!

Bwahaha... Global Warming is at it again.

 

[Hop Sing]

It's called GLOBAL warming for a reason. One season in one place does not a global climate make.

 

[pharmseller]

Of course, dummy. When it warms up elsewhere it's got to get colder in Antarctica. That's one of the hallmarks of global warming. Get with the $cience!

 

[titsonritz]

Fake news, global warming, duh.

Global Warmists are true believing FUDS. I suggest they all research the Vostok ice core samples and revisit climate gate. The Sun is responsible for the heating trend we had. That is over. We are most likely entering a solar minimum. It's just more virtue signaling bs.
Now, I'm not saying that we shouldn't be better stewards of the Earth but when Leftist want to cripple our economy while doing nothing to curb the massive pollution coming out of China or India, I cry foul.

I'm all for putting Chinese pollution in check, but what do you expect anyone besides China themselves to do about it? Our economy is very much tied up in theirs and America is hardly the ideal example of being good Earth stewards. I just don't think it's fair to blame one political party or task them with controlling China which no one can do.

Humans weren't around to influence the climate for last several ice ages.

So what happened? Dinosaur farts?

Yes, climate has always been changing but the difference is the speed in which changes are occurring now. And it's not just heat or cold, it's the disruption of the jet stream. Which, BTW, was the reason for the heat dome we had back in June.

Care to explain why the current Sahara Desert was a tropical forest, not once or twice but three times in the history of the earth?

 

[albin25]

It appears somebody finally realized that the climate thermometer....
....should be placed on the OUTSIDE of the research station?
Researchers are distraught that they will now be required to go outside where it is cold and not stay inside with their coffee and donuts and "Stop the Melt" video game... they are attempting to adapt though.

There, you said it: "the history of the Earth". How long do you reckon that might be?

I place the blame of offshoring our manufacturing on The Uniparty(Reps and Dems) and globalist corporations and their lobbyists. Our economy thrives on cheap energy. We were on our way to energy independence until Joe the Kidsniffer halted the pipeline amongst other things. The American oligarchy seem to want us to live under a sort of Democratic Socialism where the State is the final say.

But, like I said, Leftists hem and haw about American pollution while China produces more than the US and Europe combined, mainly burning coal as their primary source with no scrubbers i might add. These same people were instrumental in closing our clean coal plants here at home. So by saying that we can't do anything about China but we must stifle our own country comes off as ironic and suicidal.

Just wait for the Climate Lockdowns and food and energy shortages. You may not like what the globalists have in mind for you. As always, I do limit my consumerism and overall footprint in many ways. In years past, I installed thousands of solar panels and rode a bike everywhere, used biodiesel and grew my own food. I do think we should be better stewards of the Earth. There are many ways to do that without killing the middle class and small business. Sadly, it may be too late. If you haven't already, research Agenda 21, Agenda 2030 and The Great Reset. These arent conspiracy theories. They are actual Globalist plans for us plebes.

Correct... the HISTORY of the Earth. Meaning that there is a cycle which in the timeline man has only been onboard for a small fraction.
So, how is it that man is the cause?

Tha earth has been around for hunnerds and hunnerds of years

I have no doubt humans have influenced the planet's climate. Maybe even sped up the process. However, we really can't change anything at this point. Whatever humans could do, would be insignificant in the grand scheme of the earth's 4+ billion years. Besides, China is the number one polluter on the planet, and you are not going to change their ways.

Just another issue we divide ourselves on based entirely on our expected views from our preferred parties and the tribalism within them

Divide/Conquer! Nuthin new!!

Great, just great.
That's going to make it very hard to sell my beachfront property I have there.

Pretty much. I often wonder if people would be so vociferously against the concept of climate change if Ronald Reagan was the first guy to espouse it.
