Comments by "Brad Griffin" (@BradGryphonn) on "Is the 'bomb cyclone' in the US an anomaly or the new normal? | DW News" video.

Extreme cold storms in Japan and the US. Extreme floods in Australia and Saudi Arabia. They are not the only countries affected by extreme weather right now. It seems we're all suffering unusual weather patterns.

@definitlynotbenlente7671 Yep, and scientists have been warning us since the 50s.

@matt3790 Too young? Hehe. With respect to data, you know of ice core testing and the other methods of determining past climate hey? I think that nowadays people are either too zombified by commercial TV and their 'reality' programs, as well as too apathetic and selfish to care about what expert scientists try to tell us. Anthropomorphic climate change has been predicted since before you or I were born young fella. If you take just a cursory look at climate data from before the industrial revolution to now, the exponential rise in average global temperatures is quite obvious. But hey, we may as well stick our heads in the sand and pretend it's not happening, pretend we know more than climatologists, and pretend that MSM opinion pieces carry more weight than actual scientific, peer-reviewed data.

@benscrwbiutb9800 Yeah, mate. Because you know. Tell me one job or profession that doesn't expect to get paid (it's not 'payed') for their work. Your misspelled argument is idiotic to the extreme. Perhaps you only want them to be paid for their work only if it delivers the answers that make you feel comfortable.

@benscrwbiutb9800 This comment also shows that you or the education system you are in failed you. If you failed to at least try at school, then you failed yourself. You may do well to think for yourself, rather than let Fox think for you.

@RobertMJohnson So tell me, how did YOU survive those conditions back then? Context and timelines are everything.

@UncannySense Strange. I've read a number of articles and have seen a number of videos from scientific sources describing the weather events (Australia in particular) attributed in part to Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai. The Northern hemisphere snow 'bomb' as some outlets describe it in the US is not one of those events. Scientists are not highly paid, nor do the organisations they work with, or for, receive more than a shoestring budget compared to most other non-scientific groups. Not sure if you've noticed but the coal, gas, and oil industries are still making exorbitant profits while they continue to pollute the planet. Lobbyists for those industries are lining politicians' pockets. But yeah, scientists are lying about anthropomorphic climate change, and the politicians and industry moguls are telling you it is a fantasy. Follow the real money, not the false trail that industry schills lead you along.

@UncannySense Acid rain was a thing caused by pollution acidifying rain. The hole in the Ozone layer was, and still is fact. However, due to governments actually listening to scientists, chlorofluorocarbons were phased out of aerosols and refrigerants, and after 20+ years, the thinning of the Ozone layer slowed down. Y2K was a fear that computer professionals had, not climate/environmental scientists. And I'm not sure what you're talking about "...ice age in the 70s...". Our global average temperatures, despite the harsh winters some parts of the planet are experiencing, is actually still rising. Local anomalies have minimal influence on a global scale. The US only occupies a tiny part of the planet. Do some study instead of listening to opinion pieces by people who profit from the fossil fuel industry.
