The natural variability of earths climate. Thanks to geology science has million of years worth of data demonstrating that natural variability. What science does not have is corresponding temperature data over that prolonged period. Which makes proclaimations of highest temperature changes ever rather puzzling.
Indeed. But the pace of electrification in the auto industry is causing extreme economic woes for the western manufacturers.
Yes they do.... thats the whole point!
Proxy data not actual measurements.
FTFY
Do you genuinely think climate change isn’t a problem or are you just stirring the pot?
Empirical temperature data only goes back as far as the mid 19th century. So in reference to post #5892 of this thread not the fastest global temp change rate EVER at all. Instead an assumption.
The public wouldn’t really understand it even if it was explained in any more detail than it has already, and the public aren’t best placed to make big or important decisions. Most people find it difficult to to think beyond they’re own immediate reality.
Surely, the question of whether we can change things or not remains purely academic as long as people aren't convinced that our actions affected the weather in the first place? Before we can debate if our actions can reverse or slow down global warming, we need everyone to agree that our actions can have any effect at all. If people maintain that none of it is due to human activity, then obviously there's no point even considering taking any action.
B S.....Rocks, lake beds and ice samples can be used to show temp changes going back millions of years and its scientifically proven beyond all reasonable doubt by scientists all over the world!
