World's hottest day since records began

Nothing to see here. It's all perfect normal and ok.

The last half decade was affected by back to back La Ninas, that is quite an unusual set up, but even despite these traditionally cooler underlying conditions, global average temperatures were still in the top 5 or 6 hottest ever years (according to NOAA)

So unsurprisingly, as soon as we begin to stray into El Nino, we immediately begin to see unprecedented high temperatures, in both air and ocean surface temperatures.

Climate change is a serious problem. And we're utterly failing to do anywhere enough to prevent it.

The Fossil fuel industry persist in poisoning the planet, and poisoning civil society through deliberate campaigns to block action on climate change

And in the same week.

Netherlands

Spain

Seeing the likes of this madness drives me to despair, July 12th bonfires being prepared... should be nice for the environment.......

All this talk of "Fire" and "burning" and "record heat" and yet still no smoking gun that there is actually a problem with the climate.

What smoking gun are you looking for?

Anything that would convince me that there is something out of the ordinary.

The only thing I've learned from this ongoing climate disaster is that people will literally believe anything they are told in light of zero scientific evidence

If you think there is zero evidence that something is wrong with the climate then you're not paying very close attention

Hope nobody shows him this

Yet Canada sets fire to thousands of acres sending smoke everywhere?

So what?

People don't think every day about the harm they're doing to themselves by smoking but some day they'll end up in hospital wishing they had listened to the doctors 30 years ago when it could have made a difference

People are terrible at judging risks, especially long term. By the time the consequence are apparent it's often too late.

We have known for decades about climate change. The consequences are enormous on a global scale yet some people want to wait until they start coughing up blood before accepting the evidence and deciding to act (it's too late by then)

And then there are those who deliberately lie about the science for their own gain. Sociopaths every last one of them

Firstly, changes in human life expectancy is almost entirely based on the wealth of the demographic group you're studying. If you're relatively wealthy you can mitigate the effects of most things, from war to pandemics to climate change.

For lower socio economic groups and even in relatively wealthy places like America, life expectancy is already falling in places due to poor healthcare, addiction, pollution and malnutrition. As climate changes, the impacts on the economy of crop failures, pandemics and war will exacerbate inequality globally and within economies.

Climate change is one factor out of many that affect human life expectancy. But if economies start to falter due to instability caused by climate change then it's not good for human development.

On the other hand, tackling climate change will lead to cleaner air in our cities and prevent millions of premature deaths and long term illnesses.

Regarding lying about climate science. It's not the peer reviewed science that is dishonest, it's the lobbiests and PR industry, fake experts and cranks who create blogs and YouTube channels just to spread mis-information, who corrupt politics and public discourse. No different to the lies the tobacco industry spread for decades to allow them to addict generation after generation of teenagers, the fossil fuel industry use the exact same tactics.

I'm talking about the paid shills who set up fake institutes and publish fake reports and go on the internet and media spewing out misinformation and 'fear uncertainty and doubt' to deliberately discredit the actual science

Desmog.com has a good database of the thousands of shill groups involved in spreading lies. Sociopaths, all of them including,

Global Warming Policy Foundation

The Heartland Institute

Competition Enterprise Institute

Koch industries (they fund hundreds of individual campaigns, funnelling money through umbrella accounts and anonymous donations)

Etc etc
