It is difficult to study climate change without studying virtue signaling.
Fossil Fuel Subsidies Surged to Record $7 Trillion
Scaling back subsidies would reduce air pollution, generate revenue, and make a major contribution to slowing climate change

I love that people who are the most adamant proponents of green energy are the ones who know the least about how energy actually works.
I must say that I do not think that, despite the best attempts by politicians, world leaders and concerned citizens, the effects of climate change will be slowed enough to make a lasting and effective difference. The most dramatic and damaging effects will not be realized until the vast majority of us on this board are no longer around.
For the sake of mankind and the planet, I sincerely hope I am wrong, of course.

“The best attempts” - just letting that sink in.
Second-warmest November on record means that 2024 is likely to be Earth's hottest year, report says
A new report says Earth just experienced its second-warmest November on record — second only to 2023 — making it all but certain that 2024 will end as the hottest year ever measured.

Key term…. “On record”.

Anything can set records if you pick the right parameters.
From the article: Last year was the hottest on record due to human-caused climate change
I want to see the statistics, and how they specifically relate to temperature. Does one extra spray of Aqua Net = .005° F, for example?

on record refers to the last 130-150 years. Hottest out of 130 years is cause for concern
Avg temp in 1921.....54.4F
Avg temp in 2019....53.6F
Avg. temp in 1910....54.5F
Damn those steamships and trains.
Why concern? Were there less cold related deaths? Is there more vegetation and food capacity? How should we express our concern? Social media posts? Votes in elections?
Maybe this is better posted here:
Depressing to see how much microplastics are put into the environment by the degradation of tires and that tires on heavy vehicle shed more, like the tires on electric vehicles.
Cue depressing music here. Will we die from climate change or from microplastics in the environment?
Keep plastics off of Neptune!!

Companies That Don’t Adapt To Climate Change Could See Earnings Hit
In this week's Current Climate newsletter, companies that fail to adapt to climate change could lose 7% of annual earnings by 2035; factory-built apartment complexes that may have climate advantages; and potential clean energy policy changes under Trump

Ah yes. The always objective World Economic Forum just looking out for the planet.
I've literally heard no one say ever that China would take a lead on environmental issues. lol.... The argument is typically "But China is going to do it anyways"
Are we seeing fewer white Christmases due to climate change?
Winter has been the fastest-warming season for most of the U.S. since 1970, increasing the likelihood of winter precipitation falling as rain rather than snow.

"Climate change threatens symbols of the holiday season from Christmas tree growth, winter recreation, and cozy drinks to Arctic wildlife."
Jesus is the reason for the season.
Ahh climate change. It is a good thing it never changed in the past because we would not be here to bitch about something we have no control over. Oh wait...never mind.
