2020 officially saw a record number of $1 billion weather and climate disasters.

But any record high gets posted in here?

But I was copying what the “furnacist” do and just dropping them in as evidence of something 👍

Are we settled on storms hitting Ireland not getting stronger?

The IPCC say that there will be many more new maximum temperature records than maximum low temperatures. It never said that there will never be another minimum low temperature ever recorded anywhere.

If you burn down an ancient forest, and then go back to it 3 years later to find land covered in ferns and scrub, technically there has been 'regrowth' but it is not the same as it was before

Coral that is recovering is the weaker faster growing coral species, it takes a very long time for the diversity to recover and given the increased likelihood to have bleaching events in any given year due to climate change, it is unlikely that previous diversity will ever recover, it will be replaced by something else, more suited to the hotter climate, but not likely to be able to sustain the levels of life that were once there (at least until species can adapt to the new conditions)

Note also, a similar tone of article from fellow neoliberal corporate media CNN back in August, but this time regarding Afghanistan:

The Taliban are sitting on $1 trillion worth of minerals the world desperately needs

The Taliban are sitting on $1 trillion worth of minerals the world desperately needs - CNN

'Minerals the world desperately needs'.

'The world wants Greenland's minerals'.

Interesting...

Nope, this is all to do with big 'green energy' interests.

Inconvenient, I know.

Pathetic.

What 'captain conspiracy theory bullshit' exactly? Do you think such an embarrassingly predictable and baseless 'response' is going to suffice with me?

Do inform me and the world on here as to how 'ill-informed' I am, Cap'n Nana...

Analogy is poor if you are inclined to believe that destruction of reefs and forests was caused by AGW.

It's almost as if these forest and reefs have evolved in an destructive environment. Fast growing coral and plants have found their niche after the established coral and trees have died only for time to replace them... Then it happens all over again. Imagine there was plants that had seeds that required fire to kick off their germination process, that would be crazy, they probably evolved some time around the satellite era.

You also said all extreme weather is caused by AGW. Record low temps are AGW related too?

Using a global average makes it easy to maneuver around temp fluctuations Which are 'just' weather unless they are extreme in that cause they are AGW Extreme weather.

The issue most alarmist yourself included Akrasia is that you take the preverbal high ground on listening to the science. When the science doesn't fall inline with the narrative then it's 'cherrypicking'. All cherrypicking means is "I validate your point has scientific merit but I choose to ignore it" Which means that you only listen to the science that says what you want it to say. This has been evident in this discussion. Climate science should address the cherry picked evidence, that's what science does, not claim consensus and move on. Past consensuses have been woefully wrong.

Which brings us back, are stroms getting stronger in Ireland? If not then you must recant your assertion that you only use peer reviewed papers to form your arguments. Unless like all humans you also make logical conclusions with out empirical evidence.

Many of the corals bleached in the worst affected areas of the GBR were hundreds of years old. If this was a common event, then these centuries old corals would have survived, instead they were destroyed. It takes decades for these corals to recover, and they will only recover if water temperatures reduce back to historically average conditions, which is not going to happen unfortunately, we will almost certainly not see these coral reefs recover the diversity that they once had.

South Pole region had a pretty cold winter too apparently:

There was some research done on corals in the Gulf. I can’t find the study for the life of me. But it indicated that water temp was not an issue for coral, at least not 1.5c. Rather the issue was direct pollutants from industries and farming.

Also the regeneration makes little sense regardless. GBR has been dying since 1995, the sea temps have not fallen, but risen. We are also discovering that dead coral can regenerate.

No regeneration was expected. We lack fundamental understanding of cycles in nature.

We can keep up the dance that we know everything and have the computing power to model outputs meaningful outputs.

So you can easily find thousands of articles and scientific papers that say coral bleaches based on water temperature but that one paper you remember reading and agreeing with but can’t find anymore, that’s the only true one

You are a conspiracy theorist. You are alluding that scientists are falsifying data so bill gates can mine metals in Greenland

it’s as nuts as they come
