I think you need to do a bout of reading on “a few degree C”. We’re almost at 1.5C, and we see deadly floods, heat, tornadoes, and cyclones, destroying billions of value, with insurance companies pulling out. “A few degrees” will make melting of glaciers permanent; no fresh water for many
really ? do you think all these things have significantly increased ? how much following you ? do you have a reference in IPCC report ?
I’d never thought I would see the effects of climate change unfold in my lifetime. But it’s happening right in front of us. Climate change deniers like to call this “weather”, but farmers and insurance companies see the economic catastrophe unfold in front of them. The physics are terribly simple.
really ? how much do you pay for natural disasters in your insurance contract ?
Storm Erin grew faster than any storm in history. Pakistan has been hit by once in generation floods twice. The LA fires are recent and unprecedented. London was on fire three years ago (unprecedented). Heat over 50C (this is deadly) has doubled in prevalence www.bbc.co.uk/news/science...
OK but that's only examples, not statistics. It's always dangerous to reason on examples when you have large statistics, do you know the so-called "look elsewhere effect" ? The more things you look at, the more chance you have to find an "unlikely" event. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-el...
the increase in temperature is of course statistically significant on average, but what about deadly floods, tornadoes, and cyclones ? where are the statistics please ?
