  1. Good news. 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 (Watts et al, 2018) 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.

  2.  @hosnimubarak8869  Okay Hosni, seen as it's you. The Sahara shrank by 12,000km² per year 1984-2015(Liu & Xue, 2020).

  3. @Hosni Mubarak  Take a look again at the bar charts. You will see my statement holds true. They are trying not to elucidate their own findings in the text. The Sahara did expand until the 1980's, but their data shows it has contracted since. Then they rely on models to say it's going to expand again. I'm afraid I've come to distrust these climate models as they seem to be 100% wrong in retrospect. But anyway, just have another look at the actual observed data.
