How do you respond to the argument that individual weather events (like a cold winter) do not disprove global climate trends?

@jaro967 So what is the difference between weather and climate ? A month can still be the warmest on average, even if there are days with rain or cooler temperatures. Average temperatures are calculated over a wide area and over the entire month.

By "follow the narrative" you mean that the climate data and projections provided by the Met Office align with the scientific consensus on climate change, which is supported by extensive research and evidence from multiple independent organizations worldwide. What specific evidence do you have that supports the claim that the Met Office "must follow the narrative"? While the Met Office is a government agency, it follows strict scientific protocols and standards. Its findings and reports are subject to peer review and scrutiny by the broader scientific community. How does the Met Office's findings compare with those of other independent climate research organizations. Are there significant discrepancies?

@bermudarailway Trusting everything the government says without question can be naive and dangerous, but so is automatically disbelieving everything. Both extremes prevent nuanced understanding and critical evaluation of information. While skepticism can be healthy, dismissing a source outright can lead to missing valuable information. Governments often provide essential data and services, such as public health guidelines, safety warnings, and scientific research. So when it comes to climate change it's great to be skeptical and question and verify government information, but also recognize when the information is backed by strong evidence and expert consensus.

@crow4936 For the entire region, countrywide, and whole continent? OK!

@sirjohng1 Isn't it about time you armchair forecasters and conspiracists gave up your jobs and stopped ripping off young people with extortionate rents and instead provided national weather forecasting? So get your chicken entrails, and your photographs of reclining cows, and set up a better more accurate forecasting. I am sure there are many numpties out there more than ready to put their faith in you rather than the experts and scientists that you clearly have such contempt for.

Factually correct, but neglecting the impact of human agency to global climate change. So have a go at answering these questions. How do you define "climate change"? Is it solely about the natural variability in climate patterns, or does it encompass human-induced alterations as well ? If you consider it natural ... What evidence do you have to support the assertion that recent climate changes are purely natural and not influenced by human actions ?

@billsticker I’ve posted a reply in the main comments section; for some reason it rejects my post. Anyway, it would good to hear your comments on my post, and how you provide counter-evidence to reject the evidence for anthropogenic climate change. After all, science is not an opinion, an impression, or a mood, but is founded on evidenced-based research.

@patriottothecore6215 Do you understand the difference between weather (short-term atmospheric conditions) and climate (long-term trends and patterns)? How do you respond to the argument that individual weather events (like a cold winter) do not disprove global climate trends?

@Pendragon1122 Is this based on something you read? Firstly, the understanding the terms. Global Warming refers specifically to the Earth's rising average surface temperature due to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases. Climate Change encompasses global warming but also includes broader changes such as sea level rise, ice mass loss, shifts in flower/plant blooming, and extreme weather events. Both terms have been used for decades, but their usage can depend on the context. "Global warming" emphasizes temperature increases, while "climate change" covers a wider array of changes. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has used both terms since its inception in 1988. What evidence supports the claim that the change in terminology was a deliberate attempt to mislead? Consider documents, official statements, and publications from climate scientists .

@patriottothecore6215 You'll have to explainn how the NOAA data is manipulated as I am based in UK and Europe.

@patriottothecore6215 What do you call long-term trends?

@marclawyer2789 So you think we should consider forces that do not make significant contributions to global warming, and not focus on the one that does, do you? I mean the Earth's magnetic field do not significantly impact global temperatures. With regard to the solar influence, while solar cycles and cosmic factors do affect the climate, their impact on recent global warming is minimal. The increase in greenhouse gases (like CO2) in our atmosphere correlates strongly with industrial activity. These gases trap heat, leading to a warming effect. This mechanism is well understood and has been observed and confirmed by numerous scientific studies.

@billsticker It seems you have already reached your conclusions without weighing up the evidence. Questioning and critically analysing scientific claims are essential, but it's also crucial to consider the weight of evidence supporting a particular conclusion. To conclude, as you have done, that as far as evidence is concerned there is none whatsoever , you must address the following evidence, and explain why you dismiss it. You cannot ignore the following. Over 97% of climate scientists agree that climate change is primarily caused by human activities. Why do you think such a vast majority of experts support this conclusion? Have you considered the significant increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels since the Industrial Revolution, largely due to human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation? How might these emissions contribute to climate change? Have you examined the temperature records over the past century? Data from NASA and NOAA show a clear warming trend, with the last decade being the warmest on record. What factors do you think could explain this trend if not human activities? How do you explain the increase in frequency and intensity of extreme weather events like hurricanes, heatwaves, and wildfires? Could human activities be influencing these patterns? The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), comprised of thousands of scientists worldwide, regularly assesses the latest research on climate change. Their reports consistently highlight the role of human activities in driving global warming. Why do you think such a broad and diverse body of experts would reach this conclusion if there were no evidence to support it? SOURCES: NASA's Climate Change Website; IPCC Assessment Reports
