Why climate scientists need to talk more about the very worst-case scenarios. “With growing evidence that the risk of irreversible changes to the #climate are mounting, a new assessment could show a much clearer picture of what is at stake. By presenting the best that could happen and the worst, side by side and as the years tick by, it would provide a roadmap for stubborn hope, an antidote to despair despite the stark realities”. theconversation.com/why-climate-sc… via @ConversationUK

@Australian94152 Nice. With only about 150 years of scientific measurement for our 4.5 billion year old earth, we can expect to see new records every year. This is exciting - and good data for future scientific analyses. In the meantime, there is no wet/dry trend.

Even the UN's WMO has joined the climate mob to deny the unprecedented effects of the Hunga-Tonga volcano. Like all the other Tonga deniers, they never show the smoking-gun UAH graph - and even claim Tonga helped to cool the earth's surface. wmo.int/media/news/new…

"The planet [Earth] is heading for climate free fall.. Earth will experience an increasingly erratic climate: more and stronger fluctuations in flows of melt water, ocean circulations and the extent of sea ice. These changes will lead to more frequent and intense extremes in temperature, precipitation and storms — leading not only to more heatwaves and droughts, but also to more cold spells and floods.. Once a critical temperature threshold for instability is crossed, it takes time for such systems to collapse, but the collapse is inevitable.. Modern economies are adapted to relatively stable climatic baselines. Agricultural productivity, infrastructure design, insurance pricing and financial risk management all rely not only on expected mean conditions but also on the predictability of variability.. once these factors are no longer predictable, all bets are off — life becomes uninsurable and the world becomes unsafe. Communities are already feeling the effects of a rise in extreme weather. And such events might quickly spiral once climate subsystems start to tumble.. If you push the climate system past a tipping point, it does not stabilize. Its parts will tumble like falling pieces of china, even if the cabinet they are in hasn’t toppled yet." This issue is urgent, isn't it? '‘Climate free fall’: why the biggest risk to our economies is yet to be recognized' nature.com/articles/d4158…

@stellastafford @ElaineCox11 Your report is just a listing of subjective opinions. I have data - which is how you see truth. So tell me ... why are severe weather events decreasing?

@stellastafford @ElaineCox11 The only threat to national security of lack is lack of climate change knowledge. Please note that sea go Up and Down 400 feet each glaciation cycle -- and during the prior Interglacial Warm Period, the seas were about 25 feet higher than today. You worry because of ignorance.

@stellastafford @ElaineCox11 Of course the global heating - slowly - as we continue to thaw out from the Little Ice Age. It will begin to cool in about another 100 years or so. Have some patience.

@stellastafford @ElaineCox11 Colorized maps and isolated pictures are NOT trend data, but instead is just alarmism. Fortunately, I have global trend data, which shows you have nothing but opinions and some images of "local" events.

@stellastafford @ElaineCox11 @volcaholic1 Thank you for an excellent example of what happens to those who choose to live in flood plains. By the way ... please provide a topographic map outlining the 100-yr flood plain for that location. Data matters -- dogma is irrelevant.

@_ClimateCraze Well living in Australia, I saw the effects 1st hand. VERY HEAVY RAIN,very consistent for two years. All seansons, and created a lot of flooding here.

Climate change means wild fires like this are becoming more frequent and more severe. Where is the national conversation about the urgent need for adaptation in the years ahead? Instead we get politicians demanding billions more for bombs.
