  1. This is now the WEF '15 minute city'. You won't get to vote for or against it. It will be imposed upon you.

  2. I'm afraid the Doomsday glacier has lost its doom. “No numerical modeling work has shown that Thwaites Glacier is currently undergoing an irreversible retreat.” – Gudmundsson et al., 2023. "Removing TWIS [Thwaite's Ice Shelf] causes a modification in modelled SLR [Sea Level Rise] of 1-2mm SLR equivalent over the first 50 years." That's risibly tiny and described as "negligibly small" by the authors. The removal of the ice shelf "will have almost no discernable effect on the future mass loss of the glacier." Oh dear. There's nothing to see here. You'd better move on to the next scare story. The problem is there is no objective observational evidence that we are living in a global climate crisis.

  3. @genericanimename6733  It is hard to lie about something when my comment makes no reference about the seasonal sea ice around the continent.

  5. Solar panels are only manufactured using fossil fuels. Solar is totally unreliable. 20 years from now they will need to be replaced. It's all dogsh1t. There isn't enough mineral resources to make a fraction of what is imagined.

  6. A load of postmodernist nonsense.

  7. Methane (CH4) is only 0.00019% (1.9 parts per million) of the atmosphere. Both of its narrow absorption bands occur at wavelengths where H2O is already absorbing substantially. Hence, any radiation that CH4 might absorb has already been absorbed by H2O. With the concentration of water vapour in the atmosphere being between 1,000 and 20,000 times greater than CH4, the effects of CH4 are completely masked by H2O.

  8. There is no objective observational evidence that we are living in a global climate crisis. The UN's IPCC AR6, chapter 12 "Climate Change Information for Regional Impact and for Risk Assessment", section 12.5.2, table 12.12 confirms there is a lack of evidence or no signal that the following have changed: Air Pollution Weather (temperature inversions), Aridity, Avalanche (snow), Average precipitation, Average Wind Speed, Coastal Flood, Agricultural drought, Hydrological drought, Erosion of Coastlines, Fire Weather (hot and windy), Flooding From Heavy Rain (pluvial floods), Frost, Hail, Heavy Rain, Heavy Snowfall and Ice Storms, Landslides, Marine Heatwaves, Ocean Acidity, Radiation at the Earth’s Surface, River/Lake Floods, Sand and Dust Storms, Sea Level, Severe Wind Storms, Snow, Glacier, and Ice Sheets, Tropical Cyclones. There is no objective observational evidence that we are living through a global climate crisis. None.
