So... You are a climate change denier?

It changes every day, look at the weather report. If you took out the money involved with the people, businesses and governments that are supporting action then you will find all their interest will disappear very quickly. Don't be a fool and buy into there moral crusades that really are about power, greed and money. The exact same thing happened with water allocations, they fooled all the people and governments that they were on a moral crusade and now it's just about the money involved and mostly owned by foreign interests. Like I said you take the money and power out of the situation then it will be very hush hush.

Why don't you look up what the statistical probability of a temperature record being broken by SEVERAL DEGREES (not fractions of a degree) without external inputs?

It's anomalous because of climate change.

An inconvenient truth you think, you should watch the video, its was once the mantra of the left

No, climate change deniers can't be reasoned with because they won't even bother to try to understand objective reality. Same bucket as the flat earthers. What are your science qualifications to show that you know what you're talking about?
Every major insurance company on the world has been planning using climate change projections for decades. But I'm sure you've got it sorted.

Now just waiting for the tried and true "but da climate always changes!"

Yes it does. At a speed which nature has evolved over billions of years to adapt to the shocks. Anthropogenic climate change is happening much faster.

You should study the predictions and modelling and see how wrong they have been and more importantly how they got to those conslusions in the first place, a lot of it is just lazy research, a lot of it is a predetermined outcome, a lot of it is based on presumptions not yet proven and a lot of it is only taking certain factors into account and leaving out the rest.

Insurance companies looking for the the latest thing to cling to avoid doing their thing isn't exactly a smoking gun.

Lol that's not what I mean and you know it. They look at it from a risk perspective in terms of who and what they'll insure. E.g. seaside properties with sea level rise, in Tassie we now have properties in rainforest where the premiums have gone through the roof due to now being at bushfire risk

The shocking numbers behind the Lake Mead drought crisis | CNN

The Lake Mead reservoir is poised to become the focal point of one of the country's most significant climate crises: water shortages in the West.

The hoover dam is drying up. Lowest level since it was built in 1930.

Not denying impacts of climate change but the article stresses that over consumption is as much to blame as environmental effects.

Can only imagine how much wastage comes out of Vegas.

Yeah this a more complex issue than simply observing record low lake levels and concluding it must be due primarily to climate change. The study referenced in the article below also supports increased consumption (primarily due to in-migration) as opposed to climate change being more to blame for the reduction in the size of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. I imagine a similar thing occurring in Las Vegas (and Lake Mead) whose population has increased from just under 6,000 when the dam was constructed in 1931 to over 2,250,000 today (or 37,500%) alone. The Hoover dam provides water resources to Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, and California all whom have recognized significant population increases over the same period of time.

Utah's Great Salt Lake has lost half its water, thanks to thirsty humans

New study suggests consumption—not climate change—is to blame for falling water levels

The 118 degree temperature was recorded by a Las Vegas city founder and newspaper man named C.P. “Pop” Squires *, who, according to an article in the Las Vegas Sun, “scribbled readings from the thermometer in his back yard off Fremont Street.”

Sounds legit. Regardless, you must agree that this man-made climate change is a terrible thing and the literal mountains of evidence of a rapidly warming planet is something to be concerned about?
