To date, projections of how climate change will affect global GDP have been massively underestimated.

Australia just posted its hottest March on record by a large margin.
Mean temperatures were 2.41C warmer than the 1961-90 baseline used by the @BoM_au , almost 0.4 degrees warmer than the previous hottest March, in 2019.
Only 7 years to go before the globe implodes. Better get your bucket list in order.
Wait a second... There's a huge comet headed for the moon. Things might get dicey here in the near future. If we all drove Tesla's, that comet would surly head out into infinity without even a thought.
The climate changed here last week. 90 degrees one day, 50 degrees a few day's later. Hurry, get your Tesla while they last.

Maybe we will have WW 3 before 7 years. Putin could go nuclear at any time. That would make the GOP happy, and we can all die from nuclear weapons. Putin is not in good health, so he doesn't give a sh!t. Driving gas powered cars will probably stop this, or non-gas-powered ones who knows. Or we can just wait on the comet.

I say we wait and let the Politicians decide our Fate. They are doing such a great job.
Or, more people should go out and destroy Tesla's and steal from Jeff Bezo's stores because he supports Trump. ??
BRING BACK JOE AND KAMALA...

Believe the Scientists yes; but only when their narrative suits your political leanings.
It's Earth Day.
Climate alarmists yell, the sea is rising!
It’s true. But they don't say how slowly: 1 inch a decade.
We can adapt! 100M people live below sea level. Holland built dykes long ago...

Scientists:
global warming of 2.5/3C is
* hard/impossible to survive
* hard/impossible to prevent
* likely by 2045-70
* just one compounding factor in extinction catastrophe meaning a total rethink of economic growth is mandatory to protect species and everyone
Last Interglacial Warmth: Around 125,000 years ago, the Arctic experienced significantly warmer conditions than today.
Potential for Seasonally Ice-Free Conditions: Scientific evidence suggests that during the summer months of this warm period (the Eemian), the Arctic Ocean may have been almost or entirely free of sea ice

Was there as much land above the water as there is now. Was there as much surface water as today.

We owned a couple of comets in the 1960's, great cars. Glad you brought them up.
Joe Rogan fact checks Senator Bernie Sanders after he tried shaming people who think Climate Change is a hoax.
Sanders: Some people think climate change is a hoax. It ain't a hoax. I think the last 10 years have been the warmest on record.
Rogan: Did you see the Washington Post piece? They found that we're in a cooling period ... This was a very 'inconvenient' discovery, but they had to report the data, and kudos to them for doing that.

If it’s hot we call it Summer. If it’s cold we call it Winter. If you have a recent university degree and you follow Greta Thunberg on social media, you call it climate change. Simple

The Sun has officially reached Solar Maximum for Solar Cycle 25. This means we are currently in a period of heightened solar activity with increased sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. While the peak of this activity is expected to last for a year or two, the effects of Solar Maximum can be felt for a longer period.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Solar Maximum: .This is the peak of the cycle, characterized by a greater number of sunspots and more frequent solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
Impact on Earth: .Increased solar activity can lead to more frequent and intense geomagnetic storms, which can impact satellite operations, communication systems, GPS, and even power grids.
Northern Lights: .Solar Maximum also means a greater chance of seeing the Northern Lights (auroras) as they can be visible further south due to the increased solar activity.
Potential for Stronger Storms: .While the current solar cycle is predicted to be relatively average in strength, it's still possible for powerful solar storms to occur.
Solar Cycle:
. The Sun has an approximately 11-year cycle of activity, alternating between periods of high (Solar Maximum) and low (Solar Minimum) activity.

NASA, NOAA: Sun Reaches Maximum Phase in 11-Year Solar Cycle
In a teleconference with reporters on Tuesday, representatives from NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the international Solar Cycle Prediction Panel announced that the Sun has reached its solar maximum period, which could continue for the next year.

Interesting points—there’s definitely been a lot of debate over what’s “true” in science and how quickly things can shift. In a world full of conflicting info, data and tech can really help bring clarity. That’s why we build smart tools with our AI development services to help people and businesses make better, informed decisions.

The climate alarmists regularly seize on weather events they believe will help them exploit their narrative. Naturally, they ignore contradictory information. So we see it as our duty to fill in the gaps from time to time. Following are a few examples that show why the global warming story is less scientific theory than conjecture in the service of a political agenda.[LIST][*]
Let’s begin in the West Arctic, where the Northwest Passage is experiencing its third-highest level of sea ice extent in the last two decades. In 2009, Al Gore said, with his usual galling listen-to-me certainty, the Arctic polar ice cap could be gone during summer within five to seven years.[*]There has been “marked cooling since the early 2010s … which is likely linked to a documented slowdown in Greenland’s warming and ice loss,” say a pair of South Korean researchers.[*]
Efforts to attribute the deadly Texas flood, in which the Guadalupe River rose by 37.5 feet, to human carbon dioxide emissions have been debunked (as has every other attempt to tie man’s CO2 to harsh weather). Our friend Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com points out that “much worse flooding had occurred more than a century earlier in July when the Guadalupe River had risen by a whopping 42.3 feet.”[*]
Summer heat is always blamed on man’s fossil fuel use. This year, more than 160 million people in the Midwest, the South, and on the East Coast endured temperatures around the 100-degree mark. But nothing has happened to indicate that man is responsible. Have a look at the data.[*]
Last month, H. Sterling Burnett of the Heartland Institute noted that polar ice has refused to follow the climate crisis narrative. “Having examined the data and history, I knew Antarctica has not been following the climate crisis script since the alarm was first raised with James Hansen’s theatrically staged 1988 congressional testimony in which he claimed the Earth was dangerously warming due to human activity.”[*]
Last month, a Tampa, Fla., meteorologist blamed “climate change,” and we don’t assume he’s talking about natural variations that have always existed, for 90-degree days having doubled in the city. He was fact-checked by the Committee For a Constructive Tomorrow: “Tampa does not represent the rest of Florida. The average number of days reaching 95

I don't pretend to know either way. But couldn't all those examples also be used to say that anti global warming efforts are starting to work?
