Meanwhile, back at climate change… : Comments

By Don Aitkin, published 30/10/2020

I keep seeing suggestions that now we know how to deal with Covid-19 (do we?) it's time to deal with the biggest threat of all, climate change.

I’m not personally susceptible to the effects of fear mongering witch doctors thankfully.

My opinion on this subject hasn’t changed over the years. It bores me to tears.

I’ve concluded both sides are reliant on hyperbolic argument, and remind me of two problem gamblers laying bets on two flies crawling up the wall.

Re the greening of the earth, there is a report on the NASA website
on this and states that green areas as seen from space have expanded.
Second hand info as I have not looked there myself.
However BOM has info on Cyclones (Hurricanes etc) that are
lower in frequency and intensity contrary to AGW theory.
The graph was there about a year ago.
So many predictions have failed it must put the whole thing to question.

Yep Bazz that is one of the articles/reports that I linked to in my previous post. However as I previously said, there are others that say that the earth has not greened. So who does one believe?

Here's the two links again (both articles are from 2019):

Mr Opinion

But according to you, it's already too late, remember?

We're all going to boil!

The temperature fall from the Medieval Warm period to the Maunder
Minimum would have been more than 2 degrees I believe as just 1 deg
would not have caused the Vikings to pack up on Greenland and leave
in the 14th century about half way through the AGC.
They were a pretty tough bunch of Norwegians and had been there for hundreds of years.
So what is the change from the Maunder Minimum till now ?
That info must be available as highly accurate thermometers were
available in the early 19th century.
Wikipeadia does not help it does not realise that sunspots and solar
cycle are quite different cycles. One is hundreds of years and the
sunspot cycle is eleven years.

They keep repeating follow the science but I suspect the science is
starting to leave them high and dry.

being hearing the same gw gc c ap for 50 years. As societies morals declined so did the rise of this virtue signalling religion that teaches we can change the climate by not burning coal. I never thought so many could be so dumbed down. I was wrong.
