Why scientists are blaming climate change for extreme weather (CNN)

CNN's Natasha Chen reports on why many climate scientists say that climate crisis and rising global temperatures are leading to more wildfires and stronger storms.

1. extreme climate change

because of us, has been being warned about, to the mass public, for 40+ years. Vice-President Al Gore has been one of the most prominent telling us "inconvenient truth". We were warned. Now the climate is reacting to our complacency and heads in the sand attitudes. Poisoned lakes and major water tributaries are at tipping points from corporate sludge. The global ice melts is past the tipping point because of warming global temperatures now can't be stopped. Refugees in this country will swell because of the melt. And globally on and on. We were warned. And only we could have stopped this destruction with millions upon millions of unified voices loud enough to force change.

Too coddled in modern society. "It won't affect me". I'm warm in the winter, except Texas last winter. I'm cool in the summer. Meanwhile, the polar bears are scrambling and dying because their habitat is shrinking. And on and on. Great Barrier Reef, dying. Category 3-4 hurricanes. Mother Earth is dying before our eyes. We are doing this. I still have a footprint bringing on the destruction of our only habitat in the entire universe, so far. We are still looking for a new habitat out there somewhere to send the human seed.

Oh, I forgot it is just the greedy corporations. To quote one of my favourites, "never mind".

2. Scientists aren't "blaming" climate change.

blame
/blām/
Learn to pronounce
verb
assign responsibility for a fault or wrong.
"the inquiry blamed the engineer for the accident"

The engineer in this case is the burning of fossil fuels, climate change is a symptom, not the disease.



Thanks for the thread ItsjustMe

4. Yeah, those nasty scientists are all about blaming

Blaming global warming for deadly storms, Blaming the Ciovid-19 virus for the millions of dead, Blaming gravity on the earth, blaming education for those smart people, blaming water on H2O......

Emotion laden language prevents people from thinking through issues.

5. Actually, Even the Ancient Greeks Knew About Climate Change, In Theory At Least...

Through their doctrine, or concept, of the Four Basic Qualities: Cold, Hot, Wet and Dry. Hot / Cold was considered to be the primary or active polarity, because it drove the secondary Dry / Wet polarity. In other words, heat leads to dryness, because heat evaporates moisture. Conversely, cold leads to wetness, because cold condenses moisture. Increased heat increases evaporation, and the atmosphere's ability to hold water vapor. And so, the historically dry areas become dryer, whereas the historically wet areas become wetter. Also, heat is just a form of energy, caloric energy, that can be converted into other forms of energy, like kinetic energy, producing stronger storms.
