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.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

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 wrong -
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.

You going to do anything about it?
Didn't think so. -

2024-07-02 at 1:48 PM UTCClimate change is real...it was real before humans even existed. Climate change doesn't mean Humans caused it...climate change is a natural process which again...has existed since the Earth (and other planets) first formed.
Climate change deniers are just idiots. Climate change advocates who think that means humans cause it...are also idiots. -

"Climate change" as used in these discussions is shorthand for "anthropogenic climate change", not the concept of variations in climate over time. Climate change believers do not think the climate was static and unchanging until humans came along. They think humans have had a noticeable impact on the planet's climate, and honestly... with the amount of shenanigans we've gotten up to, it'd be a miracle if we hadn't. Of course we're impacting the climate. We have drastically reshaped this planet over the course of thousands of years. We have built artificial mountains of rock and steel, made desolate asphalt wastes of once verdant land.
Which, of course, is why even if the most schizophrenic climate change alarmists were right about the degree of impact we've had, it wouldn't matter. Our species is badass. We are practically gods. -
2024-07-02 at 2:51 PM UTCThe correct response to anthropogenic climate change is not degrowth or denialism, but for governments to keep it in the back of their minds as something we should deal with as opportunities arise. We do not need to push for zero emissions. We just need to keep on trucking. She'll be alright.
-
2024-07-02 at 3:11 PM UTCWe have to push for zero emissions because then a handful of bloodthirsty and demonic billionaire pedophiles and Satan worshippers can control everyone's lives. That's a top priority which deserves everyone's attention.

I'm aware, the point here is if they can't clearly communicate that fact in a professional manner rather than "expecting" people to "knar wot a mean"...then they've already failed in their brainwashing quest. -
2024-07-02 at 4:32 PM UTC..and lets remember they used to call it "global warming" but had to switch to "climate change" after being ridiculed.
Do these clowns have 5th graders coming up with their communications? -
2024-07-02 at 4:41 PM UTCBack in the '70s I remember all these frauds on TV and in the scientific community crowing about how the world was going to end in 20 years because of a manmade ice age. We had to follow their every command and listen very closely to save the planet. When that didn't pan out, they did an about-face in the '90s and started crowing on the TV and in the scientific community about how the entire planet was going to be destroyed in a manmade cataclysmic global warming event in 20 years, if we didn't follow their every command and listen to their every word. When that didn't pan out, the frauds just figured, hey, why not just call the hoax Climate Change this time around, that way we have all the bases covered!? In 20 years, some kind of world-ending climate Armageddon is going to happen, and it will be both hot and cold, here and there and everywhere, unless you obey our every command and listen very closely to every word we say. After all, we ARE science.
