Oh yeah, ALTRAV? I forgot to look up what Denier Hymn number "The Climate's changed before" is.

Guess what? You're the winner!

It's Hymn Number One!

That means you are reciting the MOST common, MOST CLICHE, MOST DUMBASS of all the Denier myths.

Congratulations!

runner,

Would you like to add a probable cause and explanation to the list?

Keep in mind we are not talking about global warming in general. We are talking specifically about the past 240 years.

ALTRAV,
"The Earth's path and it's variations relative to the sun and time are the main drivers of what the climate change believers should be focusing on."

Dude, given the Milankovitch Cycles (wobbles in the Earths' orbit) are mostly about how the planet goes into ice ages and out of them again, they are hardly about global WARMING, are they? They're about how the Earth regulates dipping into and out of the ice.

We're putting the Earth in the oven, and pushed the dial up past "Extreme" to "Catastrophic" and "Burn down the house."

Yes, human beings will survive. Civilisation will survive. But at what cost if we keep burning fossil fuels? How many tens of millions have to starve because people like you won't support the government weaning off fossil fuels that are killing us with particulate pollution AND are going to run out one day anyway?

Hi Max,

There has been a strong IOD event following a borderline El Nino, hence the dry, hot weather. Fortunately the IOD is breaking down, so hopefully the monsoon trough will move south and the rain generating part of the MJO will propagate eastwards and bring some rain soon.

What effect and over what time frame do you think solar panels and wind farms will have on such weather events?

Cheers

Mr Opinion

I am probably as clueless as you when it comes to predicting the weather and when climate changes. We are in good company as shown by the likes of Flannery, Gore, the IPCC and other climate 'scientist' who have shown to be hopelessy flawed over the last 50 years or so. I suggest the more 'degrees' a person has the more failed predictions. More than likely the arrogance produced in thinking they can control the climate especially by not burning coal just highlights their stupidity. Then again we have the know all likes such as Greta and her admirers that just confirm any lack of reason.

RUNNER,
go grab a dictionary for Dunning-Kruger's sake!

Look up 'climate' and 'weather'. (Hint: they're two very different things!)

Get back to us when you can explain the difference.

(Because you won't I'll tell you: weather is what's happening this week, climate is the statistical averages this decade and the last 3 decades. And the climate predictions are tracking RIGHT ON SCHEDULE!)

Statistical averages over decadal blocks. Get it?
