'Global Weirding': Extreme Climate Events Dominate The Summer


This is not a matter of opinion. It is settled.

The greenhouse effect of CO₂ was PROVEN more than 150 years ago.

"Tyndall set out to find whether there was in fact any gas in the atmosphere that could trap heat rays. In 1859, his careful laboratory work identified several gases that did just that. The most important was simple water vapor (H2O). Also effective was carbon dioxide (CO2), although in the atmosphere the gas is only a few parts in ten thousand. Just as a sheet of paper will block more light than an entire pool of clear water, so the trace of CO2 altered the balance of heat radiation through the entire atmosphere."

Post-1950, the only open question about causality hinged on measuring CO₂ precisely, which the Mauna Loa Observatory has conclusively solved decades ago. (Ibid.)

The globe is warming and the increasing atmospheric concentration of CO₂ is directly responsible. This is not debatable. The above is ALL settled science.

Now, are there any questions about specifically how the higher thermal energy, which is PROVEN to result from human CO₂ emissions, also increases both the frequency and severity of weather-related disasters? Nor is this is a matter for debate. Ask questions about what you don't know about science. Do not pretend to know better than all qualified professionals. That makes you look dishonest.
