Sea levels have risen just over 8 inches over the past three decades and is accelerating. The fear in the 80s was never an ice age, it’s a myth drummed up by inaccurate news reporting in the 70 regarding potential cooling effects from Aerosols, global warming has been a concern since the the early 60s. There are plenty of other signs of global warming occurring but since they manifest over decades your average person would be hard pressed to notice them.Look at the history of these claims....
By 2011 Florida underwater?
That was the big fear in 2004.
I've driven over a bridge in the ocean for 30 years, know where the water level is?
Exactly where it was in 2004.
Who is goofy? I'd argue it's the people writing these climate models
The fear in the 80s was a global ice age.
Peggies
is absolutely right. I sleep like a baby in Australia, even when it's 28 degrees at night, because everywhere has air-con and the buildings are built to let heat escape. In the UK, a humid 20 degree night can keep me awake very easily, thanks to zero fucking air-con (unless you count my portable unit which sounds like a plane taking off) and an apartment building that's designed to keep heat in.
Exactly! Life's become pretty insufferable here in the summer. I don't know why so many tourists do that to themselves.

Perhaps. Define average temps though... we're historically low right now.
If you look at Co2 PPM going back millions of years, it goes up and down pretty dramatically, along with temperature (presumably).
IF the solution from the "fear camp" is "we need to stop using plastic, pharmaceuticals and energy" then they must be resisted, because even if we conclude that this minor amount of warming is 100% human caused, then it is also 100% worth the cost.
We're also in a strongly shifting solar cycle (and even talk of pole flips) which is causing a weaker magnetosphere. Also a cycle.
I'm inclined to argue that the majority of any supposed change in temperature is caused by the sun and not man.
Peer reviewed paper on the solar minimum we're in, the fear-camp doesn't want you to know about this (because really they are just the tired old Thomas Malthus crowd that believes there are too many people on earth):
Gradual onset of the Maunder Minimum revealed by high-precision carbon-14 analyses - Scientific Reports
The Sun exhibits centennial-scale activity variations and sometimes encounters grand solar minimum when solar activity becomes extremely weak and sunspots disappear for several decades. Such an extreme weakening of solar activity could cause severe climate, causing massive reductions in crop...
Your chart is way too short term (NASA is fully embedded into the Thomas Malthus fear mongering)
Long term 400PPM is VERY low:
Do some research on the solar minimum and decreasing electromagnetic protection cycle we're in it is the known-known but hidden component that NASA and the Thomas Malthus acolytes don't want you to consider.
(sort of a "duh" moment, the sun is the primary cause of these cycles)
But let's just say "humans are causing the rise in Co2". OK, and what is the problem with that? MORE plant food. Better winters, more flourishing.
Remember, the fear-group is ALWAYS wrong. It was "2011 Florida is underwater" in 2004, now its "2030 and we're all going to boil".
Ridiculous.
I'm in a part of Cali that's hitting 110-115 regularly. On the plus side, it still feels better than living in Texas cause we don't have the humidity to go along with itIf so let me start a new thread. Yesterday it was 93 with a heat index of 107 and 59% humidity. Let's see what today brings.
Same in the Netherlands. It’s been a horrible summer until this week. Thank god I took holidays in Portugal in June and going to Greece in September. It’s been bleak here.
Yeah, when I was in Cabo. I was like this is nice and it was upwards of 100
Calm down, I empathize with you but Houston had 23 consecutive days of triple digit heat in 2023 couple that with humidity. I'd gladly take where you are.I feel like I'm taking crazy pills....people complaining about 100 Fahrenheit which is like 37/38 degrees Celsius when here in Romania last week we've had like 4 consecutive days with 41/42 degrees Celsius and the rest of the week for the past 3 weeks it was 38/39 degrees with high humidity.
Welcome to Europe also known as the scorched lands.
37 degrees is like winter for me now.
Yea I know I live here
someone put me out of my misery
Make sure you take a trip up to Pikes Peak.
I definitely will. I only saw mountains once in my life. They are very beautiful. I plan to do a lot of exploring the parks and fishing.
That's when you get a car with the air conditioned seats. Get some cool air blowing straight up the old rear end.
