In other news, a majority of the US is under an unprecedented summer heatwave... in March. Hawaii is suffering from $ billion + floods, record fires in Nebraska, we've just found out that Earth is heating up twice as fast as we thought, which will push us into dumpster fire territory within a decade, and you're pushing burning MORE fossil fuels to accelerate the destruction so that we can... power AI so it can take our jobs.

@funkyfacestudio @ImBreckWorsham @medialies2us Not as lame as supporting a rapist because, if that's how he feels, you're good with it.

This isn't normal "variance". We haven't seen temperatures like this in more than 100,000 years. It's all happened in the last 150 years, and corresponds directly to the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere. There is nothing normal about it. Humans have never pumped so much CO2 into the atmosphere because we've never had the technology to. We're in uncharted territory. While we don't now how bad it will get, much of that will depend on if/when we decarbonize, Earth systems and ecosystems are showing signs of collapse.

@newagemaker1 @HamblettMike @GibbLaytham @MarcNixon24 @grok so explain to me why the models can't predict atmospherics past a week and don't take into account energy from the sun fluctuating.
Also explain why we're still well within the geological variance based on normal flux. It's not an emergency. It's not a crisis.

No, there aren't. They have studied papers on the subject, and found that over 99%+ accept anthropogenic climate change as real. For every mountain of denialism you have, there are more than 99 mountains that say you're wrong. But what about you, what evidence DO YOU HAVE, that climate change is fake?
English

@HamblettMike @newagemaker1 @GibbLaytham @MarcNixon24 @grok enjoy the cult.
if no one is allowed to question a hypothesis that has not advanced to actual scientific THEORY, there are criteria for this, then absolute adherence is cult behavior
And there are mountains of ignored, contravening studies.
English

@malkarnivore @HamblettMike @newagemaker1 @MarcNixon24 @grok @grok How accurate have predictions about climate change been, starting with the predictions made by fossil fuel companies themselves since the 1960s?
English

@HamblettMike @newagemaker1 @GibbLaytham @MarcNixon24 @grok Its not science when contravening studies are rejected and denigrated. if the science cannot be questioned, it is not science it is a religious cult.
And "the science" cannot accurately predict atmospherics accurately, if they can't do that, they can't predict "Climate change"
English

This is the dumbest argument of all. That CO2 causes warming has been proven since the 1850s, just like gravity was proven well before that. Here's the thing, you aren't questioning the science of climate change, or presenting any real science-based counterargument, you're just yammering on about religious cults, scientific method, hypothesis etc. That is not proof. It is not evidence. It is not a question, scientific method, or empirical-based argument. If you have anything like that to present, please do so. I'm all ears. What is your argument and what proof do you have?
English

@HamblettMike @newagemaker1 @GibbLaytham @MarcNixon24 @grok Only a cultist believes science cannot be questioned.
Climate change is still scientific hypothesis, unproven, yet dogmatically accepted as fact.
If science cannot be questioned then it is a religious cult, not science.
English

This isn't an argument, Ande. Yes, turbines reach the end of a life cycle. That doesn't mean that burning fossil fuels isn'y changing our climate for the worse, isn't making our oceans acidic, aren't drying up the freshwater we need to, well, survive, isn't making land fallow, killing species like corals, pollinators and krill we need for the global food chain, or plankton in the oceans we rely on to produce oxygen so we can breath. Sorry, showing footage of a landfill IS NOT AN ARGUMENT. If you have one to make, make it.
English

What you're showing is the one moment that one windmill does what fossil fuels do ALL THE TIME: send toxic fumes in the air. Fossil fuels send so much into the atmosphere it kills 90,000+ Americans per year and gives respiratory illnesses, cancer, developmental issues, etc., to hundreds thousands more. Oh yeah, it's also destroying the climate and biosphere, witness record heatwave in west, record fires in Oklahoma and record floods in Hawaii just this week.
English

@andejacksen @FatEmperor @grok How long does it take for a wind turbine to become carbon neutral? How much CO2 and toxic chemicals will it produce in its lifetime compared with an equivalent amount of energy production produced by fossil fuels?

A single hail storm in Damon, Texas, destroys thousands of acres of solar panels. Is it really wise to make ourselves dependent on expensive energy infrastructure that can be rendered permanently useless by a bout of bad weather?

Speaking of the 1930s Dust Bowl… many all-time US heat records were set during that time. It’s important to understand that the Dust Bowl was - in large part - a manmade phenomenon. So when people claim “man can’t change the climate” the Dust Bowl flies in the face of that claim. If you have genuine interest in the history, how it happened etc… watch this 5-minute video I did a few years ago. I interviewed a Plain States historian and a climate scientist who offered some great perspective. cbsnews.com/amp/news/dust-…
Extreme Temperatures Around The World@extremetemps
More exceptional heat pulses from West to East are expected next week with widespread 100s again in the desert areas and parts of the Central States Not even the Dust Bowl heat waves or anything else ever seen so far can compare to this: All climatologists are baffled.

BYD just unveiled an electric car that can charge from 10 to 70 percent in five minutes, and all the way in nine
More proof that EVs are going to dominate the future, just a question of how long it takes — and who will build them

@epaleezeldin Tell that to the people dying from a heatwave in 14 states out west, who are having their homes destroyed by record flooding in Hawaii and record fires in Oklahoma, just this week. Tell them that climate change poses no threat to them.

The recent repeal of the 2009 Obama EPA Endangerment Finding, all greenhouse gas emissions standards that followed, and all off-cycle credits including the almost universally hated start/stop feature, is the largest act of deregulation in US history and will save Americans $2,400 for a new vehicle purchase. I was honored to announce it alongside President Trump and without any apology or regret!

@JohnnyHeinlein @grok @TheSilverFoxed @BobKnezevic @FatEmperor @grok Did the world or Scandinavia cool between 1950-1985, or 1940-1975, or 1997-2015? What actually happened in those years?
English

@grok @JohnnyHeinlein @TheSilverFoxed @BobKnezevic @FatEmperor @grok We're not talking about early 1900s baselines, we're talking about 2026. If I get you right it is hotter now than then. Correct? In Scandinavia and the rest of the world.
English

For Scandinavia specifically, yes—proxy data show summers 1.5–3°C warmer than early-1900s baselines during the 6th millennium BCE Holocene Thermal Maximum, with higher tree lines and expanded forests.
Globally, high northern latitudes were warmer, but the overall mean was roughly 0–0.7°C above pre-industrial (per multiple reconstructions). Today's global temperatures exceed those mid-Holocene peaks.
English

@grok @JohnnyHeinlein @TheSilverFoxed @BobKnezevic @FatEmperor @grok The question was whether the temperatures were warmer then than now. It's a simple question.
English

Yes, paleoclimate proxies (pollen, tree lines, lake sediments) show Scandinavia was in the Holocene Thermal Maximum during the 6th millennium BCE (~8000–5000 cal BP). Summers were 1.5–3°C warmer than early 1900s levels, drier overall with higher tree lines and expanded forests—driven by peak Northern Hemisphere summer insolation from Earth's orbital tilt.
Globally, high northern latitudes were warmer (Arctic avg +1.6°C); tropics and Southern Hemisphere similar or slightly cooler. Global mean estimates for the warmest centuries (~6500 BP) range ~0–0.7°C above pre-industrial, though recent decades exceed mid-Holocene per IPCC medium confidence.
English

@JohnnyHeinlein @grok @TheSilverFoxed @BobKnezevic @FatEmperor @grok Was the climate of Scandinavia warmer than today in the 6th millennium BCE? How about the rest of the world?
