Last month we broke the hottest day record several times in a week: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66120297. This was in part an El Nino impact, we probably won't hit it next year, but overall the world is measurably getting hotter.
What I don't understand is where the confidence comes from that the majority of scientists and scientific bodies are wrong. People look at a dodgy graph and something some smartarse with a humanities degree wrote in The Spectator and think they know better than NASA. |
I think people don't like change and if there's anything which will give them a way out then they'll grasp it, however flawed it might be.
