sure it did…

Oh but no one wants to talk about climate change …

@arkcon714 Hey i’m just exposing your point of stating they were “record breaking”🤷🏻‍♂️ if you can’t provide any sources on that, then that’s on you🤣 you clearly can’t engage with my questions and choose to ignore them, thanks for exposing your lack of knowledge and cherry picking on the topic 😅

@arkcon714 How about the rising average global temperature? The increased in severe weather events (not just nitpicking tropical cyclones)? The increase in severity of extreme weather events (which, sure let’s nit pick tropical cyclones because that has definitely shown)? The disparity on regions of the globe that are being more impacted by these events? The increasing costs for even developed nations to withstand such extreme weather events? Yeah, those have all come true…

@arkcon714 Secondly, as you ignore to point out that I mentioned, there is so much ongoing research behind implementing certain “green agenda” policies that explains the need to address their limitations and unintended consequences (something Rajapaksa failed to do). Economic studies showed how many countries (all of North America, most of Europe, China, and Indian and North Africa) have benefited from these green policies and investments (there’s your direct answer champ), however certain poorer areas that lack adequate funding and rely more on rainfall such as sub-Saharan Africa and certain parts of southern Asia have not benefited, and perhaps suffered more, hence the need for more research (and hence your fixation in Sri Lanka🤣)

@arkcon714 Howard Diamond, NOAA’s climate science project manager has said the opposite when it comes to increase in extreme temperatures; where are your sources?🤣 & wait, WHEN DID I EVER SAY FATALITIES?😵‍💫
1
@arkcon714 Dude. The stats that even the NOAA provide evidence of extreme temperature shifts and increase in extreme weather events🤣
1
@arkcon714 And yet the NOAA has shown that while there has been no significant increase in the NUMBER of tropical cyclones worldwide (which doesn’t mean it’s declining), there has been a “definite rise in storm INTENSITY in recent decades.”

@Rick-g1f Apparently education is too😂

@arkcon714 "The intensity of tropical cyclones has increased globally in recent decades, with the proportion of Category 3 to 5 cyclones growing by around 5 per cent per decade since 1979," study co-author Gabriel Vecchi, a researcher at Princeton's High Meadows Environmental Institute (a part of the NOAA) said in a press release back in 2021. There’s some quotes buddy

@arkcon714 Record keeping at the time, looking at the severity of forest fires and the human impact on them. So, no there wasn’t. Plus, you do realize we can take soil samples and examine sedimentary rock long before 1600? I feel like you’re just shifting the goal post here: again, where does it show “record” wildfires during “1600-1800”?
1
@arkcon714 Tornado alley has been well populated since the 1980s buddy; even between those decades there has been a rise (not only in numbers) but the severity on the EF scale and damage. Don’t kid yourself with that argument. Keep evading.
1
@arkcon714 What do you mean what do i not understand? Are you not acknowledging the severity argument? Or you just going with the overall number of events? Weak
1
@arkcon714 Again, where are the numbers that show wildfires at record numbers between 1600-1800 as you claimed? Why have you ignored the increasing global average temperature? What about the NOAA claiming record breaking numbers of wildfires since 2019? I thought they were your authority for figures?
1
@arkcon714 So yeah, i’ve explained it. Now do some research before you make yourself look foolish again🤣
1
@arkcon714 So resort to copy and paste once you feel like you’ve lost the trail of the argument… Oh yeah let’s look at specific months and instead of yearly averages climbing because we’re simpletons?😵‍💫 Okay then, i’ll give you one then. How about the 71 confirmed tornados in December of 2021 that crushed the previous record of 15…. hmmm see how easy it is to nitpick specific months? Grasping hard there buddy🤣
1
@arkcon714 Yes, state those three sources please, because all i see is “exceptionally”, not “record breaking” as you’ve stated
1
⁠⁠⁠⁠ @arkcon714 whats wrong? running from my ukraine comment? & oh man, if only you actually did some research before making such a pathetic comment😂 climate change is not just the drastic increase in the average temperature (which causes heats waves), but also other factors including ozone depletion (which assists in BOTH record heats AND record colds - btw we didn’t just have a “record” cold winter/spring, we had a longer than usual). Further, climate change has led to an increase in more intense storms (especially across north america and the southeast pacific) but NOT the increase in frequency of rain (there’s a difference buddy). and lastly, LOL there wasn’t record keeping dating back to 1600 so nice try making things up. 2019 and 2020 were previous record holders for many countries with wildfires, yet this year is looking to be Canadas.
1
@arkcon714 okay so totally ignore all the other points i made, i’ve pointed them out for you, not going to hold your hand, keep up. it actually is; look at how much more climate change has impacted the global south, it’s not hard to comprehend.
1
@arkcon714 I’ve said there has been an increase in extreme weather events and an increase in its impact, you are simply saying “there has been no increase”. Idk what you want me to say, obviously i’ve gotten a bit under your skin; you’ve ignored my direct questions, and have continued shifting the goal post. for example, “do you think crop production has diminished?” no, i do not and that has nothing to do with what i’m talking about. crop production has increased due to two factors (increase in land use, and increase in crop yields - which btw have notably expanded due to environmentally friendly methods, or what you boomer would consider a part of the “green agenda”🤣)
1
@arkcon714 Furthermore, your example of Sri Lanka is incredibly simple and explains why there have been slowdowns in the West on implementing these plans - NOT total rejections. As Sabine Zikeli of the Centre of Organic Farming states ; “You can’t simply change these conventional cropping systems, you need transition periods.” But of course a lackey like yourself will hold on to that narrative for the next time you waste your time attempting to convince someone that climate change is not negatively impacting the world😂 I don’t have the time to deal with those who don’t know what they’re talking about and keep shifting the goal post✌🏼
1
@arkcon714 And as I said before, Sri Lanka is of course a terrible example given the centralized powers of the government and the fact that they did not initiate a transitional period. I don’t understand why you have this fixation on crop production and the “green agenda” when I’ve simply been talking about the overall growing impact, but whatever floats your boat… Oh really? Who keeps coming back to the conversation hours later and gives shifting the goal post? Face it, rent free in your head😁
1
@arkcon714 You just copy and pasted the same point about tropical cyclones you yammered about an hour ago😂
1
@arkcon714 But i’ll humour you with some direct responses… whatever you believe is “green agenda”, im sure the response I will give you you’ll say “that’s not green agenda”. According to the PNAS at Harvard, the Green Revolution of 1965-1985, including shockingly, the Montreal Protocol (which did what I may ask you?) has provided numerous benefits worldwide for increasing crop production based on both public and private funding, as well as regulations on agriculture. Many of such steps were to combat the growing effects of global warming
1
@arkcon714 To answer your other question directly, climate change has impacted poorer regions twofold. For one, many of the world’s poorest populations live in the tropical latitudes, which are more affected by temperature rises and yes, contrary to what you may think, an increase in droughts, heatwaves potential changes in rainfall that could lead to recurrent patterns of said droughts, floods, and higher intensity storms. much of the global south in these regions depend highly on agriculture, so you put two and two together.
1
@arkcon714 University of East Anglia first studied the links between cumulative CO2 emissions and hotter days, with one Manoj Joshi saying “low-latitude regions have much less variability in day-to-day temperatures… compared with mid-level … which means the signal of climate change emerges quite quickly, and because of this the frequency of extreme hot days increases rapidly too” which I can’t imagine would be good for crops, would you?
1
@arkcon714 A second reason, if you want to look at economics, is that Stanford University did a study on how climate change has produced greater economic inequality with growth in warmer than average years has increased in cool nations (temperate regions) and slowed in warmer regions. crops respond better and people are healthier when temperatures are neither too hold nor too cold. a warming in cooler regions typically doesn’t impact much, but in an already warm region they have drastic consequences. they’ve even run simulations determining the GDP per person growth for countries and found that it largely dragged down warmer and poorer regions.
1
@arkcon714 There you go, two direct responses. You continue to ignore the science and nitpick certain concepts, bringing up those I never even discussed (crop production, number of fatalities from wildfires), and respond to things I bring up with simply “no it’s not”. You’re clearly out of your element on this one, so I’d advise you to keep coping with Trudeau and ranting on other Global News videos. No longer wasting my time on this, take care boomer!

@arkcon714 “Hmm, let’s look at the FREQUENCY of one example of extreme weather events and ignore the questions raised such as soul examination dating before 1600, the fact this user is not talking about fatalities, and that the NOAA agrees in its assessment the human impact of climate change and increasing severity of extreme weather events.”
