Is the ocean broken?

If we have made such accurate predictions around climate change, it's a good thing we didn't know what we know now or we'd have made some very wildly dire predictions.

Soybean farms flourish in Northern Russia, close to Arctic Tundra

• Warming weather is pushing crops further toward the poles than they’ve ever grown before
• Soybeans are being farmed in northern Russia
• North Dakota has become a major corn grower
• Wine grapes are being grown in the U.K.

 

sounds good. Palm tree resorts on Hudson Bay soon?. None of this change even suggests and certainly can't prove humans cause it.

 

You're fighting a rear-guard action. We are well beyond that argument. Good luck.

 

More arable land is a good thing.
Or do you rather see starvation?

 

Grapes in England makes me think of Chaucer.
Good times.

 

No we aren't. One of the big lies of your sides propaganda has been "the science is settled' or to paraphrase 'the argument is tabled and not to be re-argued". Bull! Neither you nor no one else has authority to close down the other position offhanded with a decree.

 

For the first time, Fed identifies climate change as a risk to financial stability

• The Fed’s quarterly financial stability report said climate change can produce storms, floods, droughts or wildfires that “can quickly alter, or reveal new information about, future economic conditions or the value of real or financial assets."
• The Fed identified real estate as an example of how climate change could impact financial markets.
• Fed governor Lael Brainard said “It is vitally important to move from the recognition that climate change poses significant financial stability risks to the stage where the quantitative implications of those risks are appropriately assessed and addressed.”

 

I don't care what the Fed thinks. They have been screwing up our lives since the Wilson days.

even if the fed is correct and I have serious doubts, it doesn't suggest and even less proves humans are responsible

we can agree climate continually changes. The disagreement is do humans cause it.

innocent until PROVEN guilty. THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS UPON THE ACCUSER, NOT THE DEFENDANT.

 

My friend, the defendant has now been found guilty three times.

First time, in the court of scientific opinion.

Second time, in the court of world opinion at the 2015 Paris Accord.

And now a third time, just a week ago, in the court of US public opinion.

Guilty, GUILTY, and GUILTY!

Of course, you are free to ask for a re-re-re-trial. I don't see you having much luck convincing either the scientific world or the world at large. I think your best bet would be to convince those that Hillary called The Deplorables, to her regret.

Stock markets are not pricing in the risk of climate change, warns IMF

• In the past 10 years, direct damages of natural disasters are estimated to cost around US$ 1.3 trillion.
• The IMF has examined the impact of climate change physical risk (loss of life and property as well as disruptions to economic activity) on financial stability.
• It finds that equity investors might not be pricing these risks adequately.
