The climate has always been changing, it was much warmer than now millions of years ago (when man did not exist, to blame).
The temperature isn’t the problem. Nor is the fact that it’s changing. The problem is the rate of change. Change over geological timescales can be accommodated by natural selection, allowing species to adapt and survive. Rapid changes that natural biological processes can’t adapt to, ultimately result in extinction events.

So you need a "higher proof" than tens of thousands of peer-reviewed research programs based on decades of information - what would that be, then?

Re: Climate Change - record World temp. rises in Feb.

Apparently there was more CO2 in the atmosphere than today's figures (ice core sample) and it was warmer and the oceans were 20 meters higher.

Get ready for a rapid ice age.

Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack on proposals to build a six-mile sea wall around New York, urging instead the city’s residents to use “mops and buckets” to cope with climate change related disasters.

The US president, who has previously claimed global warming is a "hoax" invented by the China, branded plans for a sea wall in his hometown “costly, foolish and environmentally unfriendly” on Twitter on Saturday night.
Good to know Donald's on the case. A mop and bucket should stop the sea for sure. I thought he liked building walls anyway ?

If I owned real estate in NYC, I would be up for the sea defence being built or my property would decrease in value!

If you watch the Amazon Prime Series The Expanse New York is surrounded by a sea wall.

The climate crisis is far more destructive than coronavirus, the prime minister Boris Johnson has warned.
Don't agree with the lump of lard on most things, but he's right on that. It's a far bigger issue than Covid, Brexit or Trump - at least we've got a chance with those.

Interestingly, the Venice of the North is a relatively recent use by Birmingham. A lot of Northern European cities have been called it including Amsterdam, Bruges and Manchester. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venice_of_the_North

Agreed and Johnson is making the right noises here.

tbh more likely the new chief policy maker Princess Nut Nuts, is making the right noises. But good for her if so.
