Unseasonal snowstorms and frozen lakes in Patagonia. Unprecedented summer gains for snow and ice are occurring in Greenland.
Stuff I read, so can you.Links?
That reminds me there's an unconventional theory that the Earth regenerates petroleum:On Wednesday, the leadership of the European Union (EU) declared that some gas and nuclear power are, in fact, are renewable Green energy, a move that will likely stir controversy in the U.S.
If weather is not climate you then must agree that a mid 30 c temp at that well known heat sink at Heathrow airport is not cataclysmic, especially when the rest of the UK will be lucky to make 30 degrees. Meanwhile in the north and south poles ice sea extant expansion is back to levels not seen in decades.My parents are both dead.
Predictions from modelling have been close to reality. What Are Climate Models and How Accurate Are They?
I went to a talk more than 15 years ago, where Tim Flannery predicted renewables would become cheaper and adopted much faster that the federal government predictions. It has come to pass.
I will repeat my earlier point, if the ocean level is rising, it's the only way that can happen is if it's getting hotter.
Weather is NOT climate.
Yes there is. You could start here:Although there's no definitive way to prove it one cannot just write it off as a coincidence that the biggest temperature gain in recent earth history has come during the industrial period.
What is hard to determine is just how much humans are accelerating global warming with carbon emissions.
Global warming and rising sea levels - you’re a joker with no proof whatsoever.Global warming is an undoubted documented fact. Sea levels and average temperatures have risen in 150 years. There's historical documented evidence of that.

What is also clear is that within 50-60 years the only international combustion engine transportation left on earth will likely be commercial aircraft and large maritime vessels (both military and civilian).
Pretty much every single private and commercial vehicle on the roads will be electric and most will be powered by renewable energy through batteries / solar etc. This will slow down climate change massively.
Also within 50 years only underdeveloped countries will have fossil fuel powerplants. Developed nations will have a mix of nuclear, hydro & wind/solar power. Carbon emissions in 50 years from power generation will be a fraction of what they are now.
Personally I believe the future for climate change looks pretty good IMO now that the future is electric for vehicles and renewables / nuclear for power.
Global warming and rising sea levels - you’re a joker with no proof whatsoever.
Germany and Europe have failed with renewables. Without Russian gas they’ve been forced to turn back on mothballed coal fired power stations.
Electric cars aren’t the answer either as it’s more energy dependent as well as more toxic then combustible engines. The only way that electric vehicles take over is if the technology required to make it cleaner and longer lasting is finally released to the world.
We should have nuclear energy in the mix along with coal as a transition source to prevent financial hard ship to low income earners.The earth has gone through warming and cooling cycles for hundreds of millions of years.
The earth has warmed by 1.5 degrees on average since the industrial revolution began - this is not an opinion this is fact.
Also, coal is not the answer. Nuclear is, with zero carbon emissions until such a time that Hydrogen power becomes mass market and cheaper to produce (currently it costs 5 x what traditional power costs to generate).
All cars will be electric within 50 years. That's a certainty. They'll be mostly powered by renewables. That'll cut 3.2 billion metric tons of carbon going into the atmosphere

Passenger cars produced approximately three billion metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide in 2020.www.statista.com
Leaving just commercial aircraft and civilian/military heavy shipping with internal combustion engines.
I don't see climate change as an issue at all in the future. In 50 years time coal will be a thing of the past. Nearly all worldwide power generation will be either renewable or nuclear. Fossil fuels including gas have a lifespan of 30-40 years at most before they are obselete and worthless.
I suggest you look at why Twiggy forest is going in all on hydrogen. It's the future.

There will no doubt be changes in technology in the future but people should not be forced to accept costly political motivated decrees from the global elite.Coal will be completely done in Australia by as early as 2040. Hydrogen to take over by then.
How weird is that? Talks about pizza as if that has anything to do with this?Exiting news, top French scientist Etienne Klein has just posted an image from the James Webb space telescope of Proxima Centauri , the nearest star to our sun. If you wanted to travel to this star I suggest you take some lunch along, my own preference is for pizza. Proxima is 4.2 light years away. " A new world is revealed every day" Klein said.
