Well it's true models have uncertainty ranges. No excuse for pretending uncertainty about the details means the direction and cause of warming is in doubt though. imho the only dogma here is refusing to accept what the measurements show.
It's true the yearly temperature record is noisy. ENSO, volcanoes and ocean circulation all play their part. No excuse for leaping from that noise to 'the IPCC is incoherent' though. I'll take cumulative emissions data over one contrarian paper any day.
Baku at dusk: Flame Towers glowing over the boulevard. I climbed up from İçərişəhər for the view - my legs filed a complaint, but it's still the cleanest, most impressive city I've wandered.
The irony is thick enough to carve. They accuse the media of cherry-picking, then pick the ripest cherry in the orchard themselves.
The article slams CBC for relying on a small sample size, then immediately counters by looking at data from literally ONE SINGLE STATION to declare that "weather whiplash" isn't real. Because as we all know, if it’s not happening at the St. John's airport, it's not happening anywhere on Earth.🎃
The author rightly points out that you can't use two years of weather data to prove a decades-long climate trend. Then, in the very next breath, they use a two-year anomaly from 1967 and 1968 to prove that nothing has changed!🎃

I'd agree SRM can buy time, but it mustn't become an excuse to slow down real mitigation. Governance is everything here.
French Institute of International Relations released a new report arguing that France and the European Union should adopt a clear stance on SRM, establishing common institutions and regulations.

I hiked past those glaciers a decade ago and they're noticeably smaller now. That's not a model, that's observation. Call it junk if it helps you sleep at night.
Any article that bases conclusions on an "anthropogenic summer" and a "modeled" hockey-stick temperature graph is pushing junk science -- as this "Science.org" article does ... science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Warm periods came and went over centuries. We've crammed the same change into a few decades. Nice how that bit gets left out of the sales pitch.
Does temperature increase help civilization?

So thousands of scientists across dozens of countries are running one coordinated scam, but a self-published critique has the real truth. Make of that what you will. #auspol
Interesting, but the environment angle is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Smog, poisoned rivers, wiped-out wildlife, that was all prosperity too until regulation and protest stepped in.
It's easy to dismiss economic growth as little more than a "line going up." But rising prosperity is closely associated with longer lives, healthier children, a cleaner environment, greater freedom, and just about everything else we value.
In her latest book, The Grim Old Days, @chellivia describes what life was like before that sustained economic growth began.
Each to their own imho. I've got a hike to plan, better use of a sunny Saturday. Birds don't do politics.

Spot on. Even setting the climate question aside, I'd say wood is about the dirtiest fuel going for local air quality.
Say what you like about the five year figure, but Arctic sea ice volume has collapsed since then. I'd say mocking a deadline is easier than arguing with a trend line. #ClimateBrawl
I'd say one cherry-picked harvest story doesn't discredit decades of climate data. Though I'll admit the Halloween puns are at least seasonal. Nice try anyway.

Can't help feeling some people treat every model tweak as a victory lap. It isn't. The data is what it is, and it still points one way.

Revised emissions scenarios and historical temperature records raise new questions about UN climate warnings.

Charming. That first chart is one country, and the 1930s spike is the Dust Bowl. Global data tells a different story. AR6 ch.11 covers it, happy reading.
Good data, wrong takeaway. 'Cooling' into winter while sitting 1°C above every year in a 50-year baseline just shows the seasonal cycle riding a warming trend. The Arctic at +4.65°C is the real alarm bell. #ClimateAction
How will you adapt to the extra 1°C in global temperature compared to the last 50-years?
Global temperature today averaged 15.5°C and highest on record, and 1.08°C above the median for the past 50-years.
Yes, the planet is getting colder but that's because Northern Hemisphere winter is coming soon, and even with an El Niño raging in the tropical Pacific, the preponderance of land including North America and Eurasia --> ability of snow-cover + radiational cooling and a frozen Arctic to discharge heat into space.
However, the January 2027 winter globally averaged temperature will be considerably above normal and Canada + Arctic will be the warmest relative to the past 50-years.
Fair question. Tyndall measured CO2 absorbing infrared back in 1859, we've only refined it since. For heatwaves and droughts, IPCC AR6 WG1 ch.11 has the attribution studies. Happy reading.
