Damn! It's Hot Out!!!

[Channel98]

The five hottest years ever recorded are 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Arctic sea ice is melting, Antarctic sea ice is melting, ocean temperatures are rising – and the number of global-warming deniers is shrinking.

Sea levels are projected to rise 3 feet within 80 years, according to a mew UN report. Hundreds of millions of people could be displaced.

Sea levels are projected to rise 3 feet within 80 years, according to a new UN report. Hundreds of millions of people could be displaced.

By the end of the century, global sea levels may be 3 feet higher due to melting ice sheets, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports.

If I didn't live behind a system of levees, I'd become one of those displaced coastal people. Might happen someday anyway due to a hurricane.

Ha ha, here in southern California we never have hurricandhdfg7fmh4d/sc$wmugvc#bmnnt. Wooh, I think we just had another earthquake!

"Look, I don't care about all the thousands of scientific studies showing earth's temperatures are steadily increasing, okay? Melting glaciers, rising sea levels, droughts, wildfires – those things are all hoaxes, okay? They're not happening. How many nations do we have in the world? Two hundred? Three hundred? If they all want to stay in that phony Paris climate accord, that's up to them – but the United States will not take part. Now let's get our coal miners back to work!"

US begins formal withdrawal from Paris climate accord

The move is the first step in a year-long process for the US to fully vacate the landmark agreement to reduce planet-warming gas emissions, which nearly 200 nations have agreed to.

I don’t think us ever actually joined the Paris Accord. So it may be difficult to withdraw from something you are not a part of.

IRBS, you're still using a history textbook that was published in 1954. That's why you didn't know about the US joining the Paris climate agreement. (Eisenhower is no longer President, by the way.) This is from September 2016:

President Obama: The United States Formally Enters the Paris Agreement

Today, the U.S. joined China in taking a major step forward in the global effort to combat climate change.

Hey oh!!!!

Over the next 80 years, melting sea ice and steadily warming ocean temperatures could cause sea levels to rise by 12 feet. Many coastal cities worldwide will be permanently flooded. Our great-grandchildren will get to their jobs by swimming or canoeing.

Disturbing before-and-after images show what major US cities could look like in the year 2100

Greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise by around 1.5% per year. The worst polluters are the United States and China. Unless emissions can be reduced dramatically worldwide, we will have stronger storms, longer heat waves, severe droughts, rising seas and diminished food supplies – and our President takes no action because he believes global warming is a "hoax." Wow. (See also: "Russia hoax" and "impeachment hoax.")

1) Fake News
2) It's all a cycle
3) It's not caused by humans
4) It still gets cold in the winter

It hit 60 degrees (F) here today, and it cost me nothing.

Hey if you guys don't want me to post my nice cold temperature weather in the cold thread. Keep your warm and cold comments out of mine.

60. How chilly. Do you have a butler?

I think the high here today was 24. With a nice new foot of snow on the ground.

We were in the low 50's today.
I'm not complaining.

The World War Zero initiative seeks to mobilize people to combat climate change. The coalition includes Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, John Kasich, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sting, Ashton Kutcher, Leonardo DiCaprio and many other politicians and celebrities. The President who believes global warming is a hoax and who pulled the US out of the Paris climate accord is noticeably absent.

On August 6, 1945, during World War II, an American B-29 dropped an atomic bomb over Hiroshima. Eighty thousand people died instantly. Thousands more died later from the radiation. Here is a very scary story about the rapid rise in ocean temperatures and the effects of warmer waters on coral reefs and sea life:

Oceans are warming at the same rate as if five Hiroshima bombs were dropped in every second

The world's oceans are now heating at the same rate as if five Hiroshima atomic bombs were dropped into the water every second, scientists have said.

The five hottest years on record are the years 2015 through 2019. Of the 20 warmest years on record, 19 have occurred since 2000. (The other was 1998.) Those are the facts, Ma'am. Those are the facts.
