Does he have anything to do with then emails and the bad behavior and fraud revealed?

Of course not

Comment from our neighbor, yesterday, while clearing snow from our driveways:
"You know, we never had these Polar Vortex things before they started talking about Global Warming."

Tate pile on here maybe. You know, since there aren’t any insecure types with stalker like behaviour around here:

With Andrew Tate being so gloriously arrested, I'm re-upping this piece I wrote about him in August, and about the larger problem of fascists appealing to young men's insecurities to recruit them. https://t.co/gZpqRaRNsb

I didn't think it would become quite so worthy. I would have put it in another thrad. But in keeping with the level of respect I have for the OP:

It's an old chart based on ice cores from Greenland. Here's a good article on how newer data does show recent warming.https://t.co/eMAzp6baP6

Atmospheric dust may have hidden true extent of global heating | Climate crisis | The Guardian

Atmospheric dust has increased by about 55% since the mid-1800s, an analysis suggests. And that increasing dust may have hidden up to 8% of warming from carbon emissions.

... “What this research shows is that so far, we’ve had the emergency brake on.”

So, all we have to do is eject another 26m tons of dust into the atmosphere and bingo, warming stops.

[JoeP]

And I have a feeling we'll have to do something like that. It's pretty clear that we are failing dismally at getting all nations and industries to cut emissions. Much as it pains me to say it, we may have to accept that the self-centred billionaire polluters will carry on polluting, and rely on a technological solution involving atmospheric reflection (the dust thing), carbon sequestration, and so on. Not that any of the proposed solutions work yet.

Asbestos is a good fire barrier, right? Let’s blast tons of that into the air.

Who needs all that topsoil anyway?

Big problem with geoengineering "solutions" like dust cover is that, like GHG induced warming itself, the system is much more complex than fiddling with a temperature dial. For a simple example, GHG warming is more pronounced where and when it is cold, e.g. the Arctic, at night, winter. Dust cooling is presumably most pronounced where and when it is sunny. So, even if we can balance GHG warming with the with dust cooling on a global scale, the distribution of heat across the planet and through time would be different. Probably that would influence wind and rainfall patterns, etc. I'm not up to speed with the current state of climate modelling but I suspect we still can't even predict those kinds of changes on regional scales very confidently.

Also, there is that problem of it is getting colder.

[mickthinks]

lol. Who told you that? And why do you believe them?

[Kevlar]

I just looked outside and checked my thermometer and it's the same temperature as yesterday, therefore global warming is false.

[Kamilah Hauptmann]

It is right now in winter, 4C in Juneau, which is in Alaska, therefore global warming is true.

[Kevlar]

The last I checked, Juneau is part of the U.S., so what's with this "C" business.

[LarsMac]

Global warming is bullshit!!!

here's PROOF!!!

That C is a symbol of the time America got CUCKED by pirates and has acted like this ever since:

If metric was the way to go, then time would be metric. Having one system for mass/space, but a different one for time, is ridiculous.

[mickthinks]

Having one system for mass/space, but a different one for time, is ridiculous.

Is it?

[Pan Narrans]

If it help you imperial measure people: one light-nanosecond is about one foot.

[LarsMac]

So, how would you metricize time?

How about an atomic clock? Just like other metric systems of measurement, it's based on a repeatable scientific process instead of a arbitrary unit of measurement.

"Thunberg: The People in Davos Are at the Core of the Climate Crisis"

She is not wrong about the rich assholes causing the problems.

But climate change isn't one of them. (just a distraction to keep the gullible busy)

However, she is dead wrong about "the solutions" coming from the bottom. Nobody at the bottom is going to make electric vehicles, solar tiles to power them, and spaceships to get the hell off the planet.

Climate change is as fake as her recent "arrest".

But for the wealthy and the powerful, Greta is a useful tool. Keeps the ignorant busy while they are running the world.
