When can we blame climate change? Climate Now debate highlights

Published

on



When can we blame climate change? We discuss the tricky science of extreme weather attribution with a panel of experts. We ask if and when fossil fuel companies and governments can be held accountable for extreme weather fuelled by global warming? We explore how attribution can help everyone connect with the impacts of climate change on their doorsteps. If climate change continues to heat up our world, how can scientists prepare us for the weather to come?

    Blame climate change does not make any sense. The climate has always changed. This video is drivel. There is no climate crisis. 10% decline in natural disasters since 2000. Accumulated cyclone energy shows no increasing trend. Global hurricane landfalls shows no trend. Downward global trend for total hurricaine numbers. NOAA: "We conclude that the historical Atlantic hurricane data at this stage do not provide compelling evidence for a substantial greenhouse warming-induced century-scale increase in: frequency of tropical storms, hurricanes, or major hurricanes, or in the proportion of hurricanes that become major hurricanes." NOAA data 1851-2021 shows no trend in number of hurricaine landfalls with the record high being 1886.

    Drought appears to be decreasing globally measured by SPI 1901-2017.
    For every million people on earth, annual deaths from climate-related causes have declined 98%.
    Deserts have shrunk considerably since the 1980's. The Sahara shrank by 12,000km² per year 1984-2015.

    The Earth has greened by 15% or more in a human lifetime.
    The Great Barrier Reef's coral cover has reached the greatest extent ever recorded.
    On extinction the rate is very low: 900 known lost species for 2.1 million known species in 500 years, so from observations there are an average of slightly less than 2 species lost every year.
    Global temperatures maxed out in 2016 and have been lower ever since.
    There is no climate crisis.

    So what I am hearing is that we still cannot attribute individual weather-events to climate change, but if we just keep repeating the opposite, at some point we will convince ourselves that we can…..

    "Blame". Even the terminology they use is childish & inaccurate. When something is a cause, in Science, we do not refer to them with emotional terms so as to create sensation. I have yet to discover a single Scientist. They are as rare as intelligent life on this Earth. A true Scientist has no allegiances to any one nation; but to the Earth, & everyone on it.

    This lot is making a good living on selling this.
