Climate continues to change.

Did tryfail really link to a Jordan Peterson piece for opinion on climate change?

Of course he did.

Next week's Arctic blast will be so cold, forecasters expect it to break 170 records across US
USA Today|8 hours ago
This week's cold snap is only an appetizer compared with the main Arctic blast that's coming next week, meteorologists said. That freeze could be one for the record books. "The National Weather Service is forecasting 170 potential daily record cold high temperatures Monday to Wednesday," tweeted Weather Channel meteorologist Jonathan Erdman.

I see we're talking about weather again and not climate, unless it advances your argument.
But since we're talking weather, I noticed it was a bitter cold October where I used to live on the eastern slope of the Rockies, with highs a lot of days in the low 40s and a couple of days not even reaching the teens.
October was generally one of the nicest months. Don't remember ever living through a month like that when I was there.
But this stuff happens. When I lived up there, folks talked about the winter of 1948-49. Nothing new weather-wise.

As the permafrost disappears, more CO2 is released offsetting what once was a CO2 sink. Ignore the percent increases...what matters is in certain test sites, this is already happening...which is impossible if the permafrost wasnt being affected.

What also is impressive, this has over 50 authors, across disciplines, across agency, across country...love to see fucking one...just one peer reviewed paper w 50 authors from the naysayers. Kinda sucks when your paper has only one author...and the best it can do is be published on a blog. Lol.

Global warming causes greater weather instability.

Extreme weather is the new normal, due to anthropogenic climate change.

Why were the Blizzards of 1717 and 1888 "weather" but the latest cold snap is "climate change"? Why was the Medieval Warm Period (about 1.5°C warmer than now) just a good time to be a farmer but now it's planetary catastrophe?

Very good questions. Easily answered w intelligent search strands on Google.

True. The questions were rhetorical. Just have to avoid the religious left sites.

Why are atmpospheric CO2 levels at record levels now?

Why is global ice coverage decreasing, and how would this correlate to colder winters?

I have no idea. The cool thing (no pun intended) is, neither do the "scientists", only THEY don't realize it. Or perhaps even worse, they DO realize it.

Really? Digging and pumping out trillions of pounds of carbon and burning it for the last 100 or so years has zero effect?

So stop doing that if it's an issue. Simple problems have simple solutions.

Number one growing industry world wide baby...green industry. Led by China. Cause the leadership in the US is too stupid

I am tired of people who apparently don't know the difference.

Continual misuse of the words bespeaks a sloppy, careless, inexact, unscientific and uneducated mind.

Carbon:​

​

"...A chemical element with the symbol C and atomic number 6. It is the 15th most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and the fourth most abundant element in the universe by mass. It is a common element of all known life..."
​

Carbon Dioxide:

[At STP] "...CO2 is a colorless gas with a density about 60% higher than that of dry air. Carbon dioxide consists of a carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It occurs naturally in Earth's atmosphere as a trace gas. As the source of available carbon in the carbon cycle, atmospheric carbon dioxide is the primary carbon source for life on Earth and its concentration in Earth's pre-industrial atmosphere since late in the Precambrian has been regulated by photosynthetic organisms and geological phenomena. Plants, algae and cyanobacteria use light energy to photosynthesize carbohydrate from carbon dioxide and water, with oxygen produced as a waste product. CO2 is produced by all aerobic organisms when they metabolize carbohydrates and lipids to produce energy by respiration. It is returned to water via the gills of fish and to the air via the lungs of air-breathing land animals, including humans. Carbon dioxide is produced during the processes of decay of organic materials and the fermentation of sugars in bread, beer and wine making. It is produced by combustion of wood and other organic materials and fossil fuels..."​

And one that makes TOTAL economic sense, when the government is providing tax subsidies to force it to operate "in the green".

Of course, it devastating to the environment and literally, physically impossible to run our planet on solar energy, but let's not let small details get in the way.

If you want to fix the problem, convince, what is it now? around 7 or 8 billion people more or less? to stop using energy.

Fun fact, every person alive today will be DEAD in 200 years. Without exception. So what's the difference whether Dribble kills them or they die of old age?

Let that sink in.

This is a perfect example of right wing ideals. I will be dead...it dont matter. The reason they feel like this, is their entire family has abandoned them. Fuck my family. Fuck my kids. Fuck my grandkids. What they have to deal with wont bother me s bit. I will be dead.

Melting Arctic ice may be spreading a deadly virus to spread in marine mammals
CBS News|1 hour ago
A deadly virus is rapidly spreading among marine mammals in the Arctic. In a new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature, scientists have found a link between the disease and melting sea ice due to climate change. Phocine distemper virus (PDV) has been a known pathogen in certain seal populations for decades, resulting in several mass ...

Not at all what I said. But you can believe that if you like. I don't mind.

What I said was, the only reasonable solution to the presumed problem is to cease using energy. If you do that, most people will die. Since you're the one pushing for the solution, those deaths are on you, not me.

All the other stuff about 7 billion people and 200 years. I was just fucking with you.

https://climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-temperature-october-2019

Globally, October was 0.69°C warmer than the average October from 1981-2010, making it by a narrow margin the warmest October in this data record. Europe generally saw above-average temperatures, with the exception of most of the north and north-west of the continent. Temperatures were much above average in large parts of the Arctic, while much of western USA and Canada experienced much below average temperatures.

https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/201909

The average global land and ocean surface temperature for September 2019 was 0.95°C (1.71°F) above the 20th century average and tied 2015 as the highest September temperature departure from average since global records began in 1880.

This was also the 43rd consecutive September and the 417th consecutive month with temperatures, at least nominally, above the 20th century average.

October 2019 makes 418 consecutive months above average.
