Can you blame heat wave on climate change? Eye-popping numbers suggest so.

"Potentially deadly and record-breaking temperatures are occurring more and more frequently in the U.S., Mexico and Central America due to climate change," said study co-author Izidine Pinto, a researcher at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute.
“The results of our study should be taken as another warning that our climate is heating to dangerous levels," he said. -

2024-06-26 at 7:02 PM UTCThere’s no single weather event you can point to that can be definitively “blamed” on climate change. There were heat waves a hundred years ago that exceeded anything we’ve had recently. There’s always going to be outliers in a data set.
The focus should be on trends over time, and those trends appear to indicate that the earth is warming and that it’s mainly due to human activity.
The reason you keep seeing news articles like this now is it’s a concerted push to reframe the way the science is communicated to people. People weren’t doing shit about climate change so these types of articles are meant to show direct and observable climate related issues in an everyday way that people can relate to so it creates a sense of urgency, but in my opinion is dishonest.
The problem is this only works on people who already think climate change is real. People on the other side just move further away when they see this shit cuz it’s more evidence of a conspiracy to make the effects of climate change seem more immediate and severe than they really are and they’re not wrongThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2024-06-26 at 7:33 PM UTCI have a feeling that half the reason climate change deniers become so resistant to the idea of even accepting that climate change exists is because common sense would tell you that the people who keep bringing attention to it and have the authority to implement solutions are actively making it worse and primarily only take action to control the general population without adhering to the Pareto principal.
You look at this stupid bullshit graph that Crooked Hillary posted on Twitter https://x.com/HillaryClinton/status/1782400479743324603 and anyone with half a brain can see that no one is meeting the target. The people who actually know shit realize that these figures are completely made up anyway and they still say that the government isn't actually doing shit about it. The Biden administration has approved more oil and gas drilling permits on public lands than the Trump administration did. And even accounting for uncertainty, the graph visibly shows there is no difference yet but simply projects that there will be starting around next year and even that it could potentially be worse for a brief period of time.
The "common sense" conclusion is that if it's true and any of that actually matters, they'd be doing things that actually matter, like cracking down on corporations responsible for the majority of emissions, subsidizing remote work, making the armed forces greener, or diverting a huge chunk of the budget to improving wind, solar, and nuclear technologies. Not burdening the consumers who could theoretically be carbon neutral and still not meet the target.
I think these people just have a hard time understanding that the Democratic party will correctly identify a problem but they have no intention of actually solving it (because if you want to trick people, why would you hold the truth in front of their face?), so they assume that it's bullshit touted to get richer. Which it is, but not in the way they think. -
2024-06-26 at 8:48 PM UTCThe same people who are pushing the Climate Cult Hoax and who are daily up on their pulpits spewing their climate nonsense are also buying up beachfront properties in the billions of dollars, and also flying tens of thousands of miles a year in their private jets, burning off millions of tons of fossil fuels in the process.
