He wasnt the one making the claim, so can you back it up or not ?

Re: Climate Change
 

I was merely quoting Rishi Sunak. If someone wants to challenge that, it’s up to them to provide the evidence not me.

I’m not playing these stupid games any more. It’s just trolling and someone should be calling it out.

Fat chance of that, unfortunately.

Re: Climate Change
 

So no, you cannot back it up then.

The one playing stupid games is you, and yes, someone did call you out.

Re: Climate Change
 

You're your own worst enemy here, Old Boy. If you want to quote Sunak, put his actual words in quotation marks with a link. Then people's beef will be with him and not you.

There's also some flawed logic on show here.

Some countries like the UK have had to do more than others to achieve their targets because they were in a far worse starting position.

Even today, France, for example still has less to do than the UK as some 88% of its energy is from zero emission sources.

The UK generates about 60% of its energy from zero emission sources so still needs to do more than France.

As I understand it, it was a hybrid. Range Rover.

So both reports are correct.

Seems Gobal Warming took the year off, at least in the UK.

Not for the World unfortunately, 2024 is set to be the warmest year on record , beating a record only set in 2023. We should be very worried. This is progressing faster than the worst predictions.

Re: Climate Change
 

Global surface temperature has now been the highest since records began (in 1850) for 14 consecutive months.

https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/mon.../global/202407

These record high temperatures are shifting climate patterns. It has been cooler here because the additional global heat has shifted the polar jet stream southwards and exposed us to wet, cloudy weather than would otherwise have been confined further north. However, south of the jet stream, continental Europe has been cooking, again.

According to "predictions" in 1970, we should all be dead or living in a dystopian nightmare by now.

So, I'll still sleep soundly tonight.

Like this?

Re: Climate Change
 

Weather is not the same as climate. We go around on this every time there is a heatwave, cold snap or freak weather event.

Climate change will lead to the climate changing. That can be warmer in some places, colder in others and result in more frequent weather events. However, any one summer, winter or event itself is not indicative.

Re: Climate Change
 

wow considering the earth is 4.543 billion years old thats a lot of data

Re: Climate Change
 

Heres some for the last 500 Million years.

We are in a cool period atm, but getting warmer.
From what I can find, it was the coolest about 20,000 years ago.
It slowly warmed up again until about 10,000 years ago it was fractionally warmer than now.

Since then its slowly cooled down slightly, until recent times when its started to warm up again.
Its approching levels similar to about 11,000 years ago, and before that, about 5 million years ago.

Some 55 million years ago it was about 14C warmer than now.
The ice caps formed about 35 million years ago, as it cooled down.

In the grand scheme, we are still cooler than most of the life of the earth.
However, in recent history, its about the warmest its been in the last 12,000 years.
