It's official - 2023 is Already World's Hottest Year, with a month to go

[d taylor]

This is from a US Govt website called Climate Change Resources. This is a small extract. The site discusses the impact of Climate Change on Mississippi. I've put a link at the bottom. It's worth reading.

Today, Mississippi has the highest poverty rate in the US, with nearly 20% of the state’s residents living below the poverty line, and with the lowest ranking healthcare system. The social and economic factors compound the challenges posed by climate change, which it manifests in Mississippi in the form of extreme heat, drought, and sea level rise. Already today, Mississippi averages 25 days a year when heat exceeds dangerous levels, with that number projected to rise to 100 days annually by 2050. The severity of droughts is expected to increase by over 100% by 2050 in Mississippi. Agriculture and forestry are Mississippi’s biggest industry, so the outcoming of these intersecting factors will be of major consequence for the state’s economy.​

Referencing the Us Government to make a point, with me carries no weight.

Snow?

Where I live in Northern NSW the climate is almost ideal if you're ok with lots of sunshine, painfully blue skies and a bit of heat. The humidity in mid-summer can be a bit wearing.

My standard clothing for most of the year is shorts, a T shirt and thongs (flip-flops). In winter I occasionally wear jeans or even socks if things get really bad.

It's also normal here to see people shopping in bare feet.

OB

Well, there is snow in my area during a part of the winter, as I am in the US, and it is winter here from 12/21 to 3/22. The seasons are opposite in the Northern Hemisphere compared to the Southern Hemisphere. It gets cold for Aussies, Southern Africans and Kiwis in June, but warm for North American folks, Asians and European folks and vice versa.

I am 58 and it has been the same weather, hot in summer and cold and wet in the winter, since my youth.

So what you're saying is that the tilt and orbit of Earth haven't changed in your lifetime. Good to know.

Coming from someone who thinks the earth is flat - I'm not really surprised.

Only if you were located on the very edge of your flat earth would there be no weight.

FLAT or ROUND Earth?

And where is that review (of https://planegeodesy.com/appendix-ii-evolutionism-refuted-by-the-ribosome)? But it's OK, I understand. Don't look here! Quick, look over there!

Ummm... I did know that Alex - honestly I did. I've even travelled to the Northern Hemisphere a few times and actually skied on the stuff.

The "Snow?" comment was a little light humour based on the ignorant Australian. Perhaps I should have added a smilie.

Yeah, the smiley would have helped. It is hard for me to read people sometimes.

I forgot you were on the autism spectrum. Australians have a habit of kidding around. In my country a friendly insult is actually a sign of social acceptance. We also tend to use people's first names or nicknames rather than courtesy titles like Mr, Mrs, Doctor or Sir. I think we are also a little more direct. This can sound impolite or disrespectful to those who are not familiar with the culture.

Why am I telling you this? Australians (like me) may sometimes be a little difficult to read.

Thanks man. I can be very direct also, and I am not Aussie. Aussie humor is awesome bro, as some shows that I have watched are from the Land Down Under.

That show highlights many of our current crises situations that took place in the 70s.

Climate change is like a religion. Believers try to convert deniers in threads like these.

 

[RileyG]

This news is terrifying! !

 

[Occams Barber]

Climate change is like a religion. Believers try to convert deniers in threads like these.

Trite comments like this do nothing to establish where the truth lies. I've seen "It's a religion" used time and again as an attempt to trivialise a legitimate point of view. Oddly enough it's usually Christians who do this.

In this case climate change is backed by a significant body of facts and actual measurements. The negative argument is generally unsupported opinion and conspiracy theory.

Why not look at the actual evidence instead of attempting to trivialise the issue?

See, you're proselytizing me. It's not really odd for Christians to recognize how evangelistic climate change belief is.

You can proselytise your religion until the cows come home. I won't be listening because I came to my decision about religious matters a very long time ago. But what I have or have not decided in that repect doesn't have any effect on you or yours. Whereas some people who are in a position to make decisions that will most definitely have an effect on us all are still denying that there is a problem.

Whether you accept it or not is something I don't really care about. Other than me spending a few minutes posting comments such as these, what you do or don't do won't matter to me at all in the grand scheme of things. Arguing about it is more an intellectual exercise trying to determine why people try to deny it.

When every country on the planet bar three agree that there's a problem and we need to do something about it, from the most liberal like Sweden to outright dictatorships like North Korea then it's doesn't seem like denial is perverse. It actually is perverse.

Maybe a climate change inquisition needs to be formed.

Religion is not a science, so no, climate change is not like a religion.

According to a new U.N. report, the global warming outlook is much worse than originally predicted. Which is pretty bad when they originally predicted it would destroy the planet.
