Resisting Climate Hysteria

@Sean K Well it's just other people's money or should I say just the poor down trodden tax payer as usual.
 

Just wondering what this has to do with climate change?

Are you for real?

It is about, if one believes in the scam, taking personal responsibility. It is many individual actions which make collective action.

If every individual action adds to the collective, then these carbon dioxide intensive activities of the so called "elite" ( ) detracts from that goal, both in terms of leadership and emissions.

But then, socialism has always been about *rules for thee and not for me".

You, being the classic example.
 
You guys don't seem to understand, its not the emissions of greenhouse gasses in total its the emissions per head.
Thats why Australia has to reign in their emissions, its because although the years increase in Emissions in China is greater than all of the emissions for Australia, its all about the emissions er head of population, and thats where we fail.
Especially when you look at the clowns in the jets, the emissions per head for these joy flights are astronomical.
But thsts ok, as long as you are heartfelt in your demands that everyone (else) reduce their emissions, its all ok.
Its all about the vibe, the optics, the feelings.

It's the old "actions speak louder than words".

Having ministerial responsibility for climate change or a related field basically does preclude flying in a private jet, ever, if the message is to be credible. Keep away from oversize cars too.

Just as if you're the health minister then you'd better not do well known unhealthy things, eg smoking, at least not in public. Because it blows your credibility to pieces if you do.

Likewise if you're responsible for road safety then be aware that pretty much any driving infringement involving speeding, hooning or alcohol will almost certainly bring an abrupt end to your job.

Etc. If you're some random member of the public then you can do anything as long as it's legal but if you're in a position of authority and as part of that you're encouraging others not to do it, well then doing it yourself blows your credibility to pieces.

Dropping this very lightly are you SP ? Clearly another stuff up by climate scientists who can't seem to explain (yet.) why global temperatures have risen so steeply in the past 12 months.

These figures would be the reason to get properly hysterical about global heating.

What do the represent ? IF the additional .2C increase in global temperatures is the new norm we would reach 2C of global warming by 2027-8. If one thinks the current extreme weather conditions are bad a 2C world is another climate altogether.

At that rate 3C would be reached well before 2040. That scenario was seen as a possibility in the later part of this century which would put Australia in a precarious position.

Let's see if the remainder of 2024 continues this trend and what the consequences would be.




Seriously ugly: here’s how Australia will look if the world heats by 3°C this century

This is not an imaginary future dystopia. It’s a scientific projection of Australia under 3°C of global warming – a future we must both strenuously try to avoid, but also prepare for.

I just saw this graph which highlighted the extreme nature of the last 15 months of global temperatures. The other reference goes into further detail.

As a powerful winter storm dumped deep snow in parts of the West on Monday, much of the central United States was unseasonably warm.

Climate Change: Global Temperature

Earth's surface temperature has risen about 2 degrees Fahrenheit since the start of the NOAA record in 1850. It may seem like a small change, but it's a tremendous increase in stored heat.

Perhaps it's poorly calculated methane emissions that are driving the current extreme temperatures across the world ? Methane is around 80 times more powerful as a GG than CO2. It does break down in around 20 years but the short term pressure on global heating is still significant.

This would be hysterical if it wasn't setting a disastrous precedent. How can a tiny emitter like Switzerland, which is covered in snow for most of the year, be responsible for any change in the climate?

Madness.

One passenger died and 30 others were injured aboard a Singapore Airlines flight that was hit by "severe turbulence," officials said Tuesday, but experts say such deaths are rare even as researchers warn climate change may be causing more extreme cases of turbulence.
 
Sad as the death of this passenger is, he died from a heart attack, which may or may not have been caused by the sudden drop of 6000 feet over 5 minutes.
 
Despite the fact that global warming and sea levels are rising, the well healed are still buying property less than 1m above sea level.
