WSJ: The World Bakes Under Extreme Heat

The lesson from the Greece wildfires? The climate crisis is coming for us all | Nesrine Malik

The developed world needs to be shocked out of its complacency about our warming world, and the unexpected effects that will follow, says Guardian columnist Nesrine Malik

"Over the past decade, almost 22 million people have been displaced every year by weather-related events. The projection is even more staggering. By 2050, the forecast is that 1.2 billion people will join the ranks of climate migrants, most of them from the countries with the lowest capacity to deal with the fallout from global heating."​

​

Fires in Greece

Deadly wildfires in southern Greece wafted thick clouds of smoke over the Ionian Sea and southward to the Mediterranean in late August 2007. A line of fires stretches along the western coast of Greece’s Peloponnesus Peninsula. To the northeast, a large fire is casting a plume of smoke over Athens.

"According to news reports from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), at least 60 people had been killed by the fires as of August 27. Hundreds of homes had been burned and thousands had to evacuate. The government suspects that the fires were caused by arson, and it has declared a national emergency to deal with the situation."​

"Over the past decade, almost 22 million people have been displaced every year by weather-related events.

How many fewer for each $1 trillion we waste...err...invest in windmills?

The government suspects that the fires were caused by arson, and it has declared a national emergency to deal with the situation."

They weren't caused by global warming...err...climate change...err...climate weirding?
It was arson? We can't tear down the US economy because of arson.

Let's blame it on global warming. Agreed?

Earth's magnetic field, which is generated by the movement of molten iron its core, is what has protected us from Helios for millions of years. It won't protect us from the greenhouse effect.

actually the greenhouse effect is what protects us from freezing to death every night.

Of course the greenhouse effect has always been beneficial, for millions of years, but like many of earth's climactic heating and cooling systems, it is changing, and that change is not beneficial to mammals.

Climate Science and Climate Justice

1.5˚C might not sound like a big increase in temperature, but it’s the difference between life and death for thousands of people.

It's always changing, and sorry, but the current changes don't warrant world government like you watermelons want.

I refuse to change my standard of living on a bunch of maybes yelled out by a bunch of whiny chicken littles.

You won't have to, you'll be dead by the time alternative energy sources will be required, not suggested. And there will no longer be science skeptics like you around, because everyone will be a born again believer.

Nice you admit that AGW is akin to a Religion.

But but but we are doomed RIGHT NOW according to the current and past 30 years piling on of "we need to ruin your lives to save your lives" bullshit.

The World Bakes Under Extreme Heat​

Funny, if I were not connected to the fake news everyday and just living and doing stuff outside, I'd never know the world was in crisis! High temps here the past two days never broke out of the 70s with lows dipping into the 50s.

Good thing I watch the fake news to let me know that the world is coming to an end!

Two-Thirds of Americans Think Government Should Do More on Climate

Over half of Republicans and overwhelming shares of Democrats say they favor a range of initiatives to reduce the impacts of climate change.

Who exactly are these "consumers"? I mean, with these "market forces" already pressuring them to do "unwanted" shit, then the gubmint starts gittin' all pushy.. WTF?

Well, people do need to be forced to do the right thing for the greater public good.

The Bible says the world is coming to an end as well. Fake news?

Don't need the Bible for that. In another 4.5 billion years, at the very best, by then, the Sun will have expanded and increased heat as it leaves the Main Sequence making the Earth uninhabitable and eventually consumed.

All things come to an end.

actually the greenhouse effect is what protects us from freezing to death every night.

And outside of Urban Heat Sink Effect, they have absolutely NO WARMING AT ALL. NONE.

Shaddap, McSlob or I'll shouls just frop it and trust you, you POS little clown.

PS: Just who do you think is paying me, and how much? Is it in gold bullion?

Just asking in case someone hires me!

I hear you will work for 25 packets of McRib Sauce.

[/Taints.

If that were true, the Earth would already be dead. Remember, Mr. Scientific illiterate, the CO2 content of the Earth's atmosphere has been over 6000 ppm many times in the past.

And NOTHING YOUR ASSHATS CLAIM WILL HAPPEN, EVER DID!

DURRRRRR

 

[toobfreak]

Earth's magnetic field, which is generated by the movement of molten iron its core,

It's called the magnetohydrodynamic effect, McSlip!

is what has protected us from Helios

It protects us from a Greek God, McSnooze?

for millions of years.

About 4500 million years.

Hey Piece Of Shit,

Why don't you stop being such a fucking balless coward and stop disliking my posts and instead actually REFUTE them on whatever grounds you claim to disagree with so that I can tear your claims to pieces and show everyone how ignorant you really are?

Or maybe that IS why you don't?

Why don't you practice what you preach. I post the facts around here (NOT/NEVER YOU),
and WSJ (owned by Murdoch) is hardly a liberal rag.
YOU "Refute" it you UNWITting 12 IQ Hypocrite.
