1ºDana Kelly Oh, no! I'm all on board with all the climate change efforts the left, in particular, is making! Every time we get a rich celebrity or spokesperson to leave their air-conditioned mansion with the lush lawn and swimming pool and hop on their fuel-guzzling jet or carbon fiber yacht so they can go to a spa destination with the carbon footprint of a small country in Africa, where they can feast on Wagyu beef and wine sourced from a reclaimed rainforest and consult their petroleum derived, lithium powered electronic devices in an effort to come up with new ways for the working-class to make the sacrifices necessary to save the planet I know we are doing all we can!
I probably do 10 times more than YOU do. I bet you get a new phone every year and have not grown one bite of your own food or planted a pollinator garden in your entire life.
2ºDon Weaver Is there a risk for El Niño in 2023?
Weak El Niño conditions arrived in May and are expected to strengthen in the coming months, with an 84% chance of a moderate event at its peak from November to January, and a 56% chance of a strong event.Jun 24, 2023, El Niño has returned. Here’s what the phenomenon means for extreme weather and global warming.
El Niño is back, and the UN’s World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is warning that it could threaten lives.
The global weather phenomenon refers to when waters in the Pacific Ocean become much warmer than usual.
After three years of the cooling La Niña weather pattern, the WMO announced that El Niño is now underway and has a 90 per cent probability of continuing until the end of the year at moderate strength or higher. you were saying
3ºShawn White Over the course of the Earth's 4.5-billion-year history, the climate has changed a lot. This is true. But the rapid warming we're seeing now can't be explained by natural cycles of warming and cooling. The kind of changes that would normally happen over hundreds of thousands of years are happening in decades. How much of climate change is true?
Do scientists agree on climate change? Yes, the vast majority of actively publishing climate scientists – 97 percent – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change. and from nasa While Earth’s climate has changed throughout its history, the current warming is happening at a rate not seen in the past 10,000 years.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), "Since systematic scientific assessments began in the 1970s, the influence of human activity on the warming of the climate system has evolved from theory to established fact."1
Scientific information taken from natural sources (such as ice cores, rocks, and tree rings) and from modern equipment (like satellites and instruments) all show the signs of a changing climate.
From global temperature rise to melting ice sheets, the evidence of a warming planet abounds.
4ºShawn White Back in the 80's I drove for North American. I had a load to deliver in the afternoon in Tuscon. A United driver asked me if I wanted to make some extra money lumping a load for him. It was a small one, so I agreed, then went to do my load. It was dry and except for all the water i drank I didn't realize how hot it was. When I got through, I went back to the truck stop and took a shower. My blue uniform was white with salt and could almost stand by itself. When the water hit me, I screamed from the burn. I actually had blisters the next day.
And this was in June. Arizona is hot sunny.
