Hey, I wonder how many fossil fueled trips Ed has taken? Certainly he didn’t take a long, fossil fueled flight to COP29, and won’t travel to COP30 in Brazil, right?
Miliband says UK’s way of life ‘under threat’ amid extremes of heat and rainfall
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said Britain’s way of life is “under threat” from climate change as the Met Office said extremes of heat and rainfall are becoming the norm.
The latest state of the UK climate report, published in the Royal Meteorological Society’s International Journal of Climatology, shows the impact of human-caused global warming on the UK’s weather, seas, people and wildlife.
For the first time, the report also found UK sea levels to be rising faster than the global average.
There’s zero evidence to support that, which is why they do not publish it.
The Energy Secretary called the findings “a stark warning” to take action on climate and nature.
“Our British way of life is under threat,” Mr Miliband told the PA news agency.
“Whether it is extreme heat, droughts, flooding, we can see it actually with our own eyes, that it’s already happening, and we need to act.
“That’s why the Government has a central mission to make Britain a clean energy superpower and tackle the climate crisis.”
And, this gives the government more authority to crack down on their citizens, whether they like it or not. But, maybe they should be worried about something else
And
Yet, the Powers That Be are worried about a tiny increase in the world’s temperature over 175 years.
Hottest temps recorded this summer in UK: 32.4º C, and 30.8º C in Scotland. 32.4º C = 90.3º F, just a typical summer day in the United States, but they’re whining that it’s a crisis.
Pussies.
Lol
Unsure where you got your temps from
When I googled it they gave the highest temp in the UK this year as 35.8 C 96.8 F.
The North/South midpoint of the UK is pretty far north, about 750 miles north of New York City
And no Mr Teach they are not so worried about the increase in the last 175 years as they are the temp increase in the last decades which shows that temp increase rates are now much faster, something that you fail to note, whether this is something you do inadvertently or on purpose to receive us
The current warming rate (1990-today) is 0.209 ±0.053 °C/decade (GISTEMP), 0.206 ±0.044 °C/decade (Berkeley), 0.198 ±0.057 °C/decade (HadCRU), and from the satellite calculated termps 0.136 ±0.074 °C/decade (UAH, Spencer&Christy), 0.226 ±0.076 °C/decade (RCC). The median is 0.206 ±0.044 °C/decade.
From 1960 to 1990 the median was 0.122 ±0.057 °C/decade.
From 1900 to 1990 the median was 0.063 ±0.013 °C/decade.
The rate of warming appears to be increasing. Assuming today’s rate that would add 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) by 2100, making total warming about 3 °C or 5.4 °F. Accepting today’s scientific consensus that warming is causing increases in extreme weather events (droughts, floods, heatwaves, tornadoes, hurricanes) would you predict that doubling the temperature increase would make the extreme weather more or less likely?
Deep stats, with Disco Stu:
Disco record sales, 1973: 1 million
Disco record sales, 1974: 2 million
Disco record sales, 1975: 4 million
Disco record sales, 1976: 8 million
The rate of disco album sales appears to be increasing. If these trends continue…
Salient point! We should be able to link that to a relevant physical correlate, shouldn’t we? It’s surprising the scientists have failed to figure this one out.
16 million (1977), 32 million (1978), 64 million (1979), 128 million (1980) etc
If your hypothesis is correct, we should have disco record sales of over 560 quadrillion this year!!
How’d you do, Professor?
I did great. You, on the other hand, get an F.
You’re free to reenroll in the class, but tuition is due up front.
Ellwood
U have learned well from your masters.
Got any facts?
Jaime,
It’s a FACT that the rate of warming is increasing. It’s in the comment, with a citation.
We understand you are only an engineer, not a scientist, but even engineers should learn to read.
And we understand you are neither an engineer nor a climate scientist. So, according to your own standard, you’re not qualified to speak on such matters.
Ellwood
U imply that the increase will continue.
U have no way of knowing that.
Us engineers ask the hardest questions.
Know any history?
And during the Medieval Warming period they had grape vines and made wine there.
And Green was green because the climate was warmer.
So?
So they had no cars and burned no oil.
What caused it?
Hmmmmmmm???
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Let’s see… what caused a brief period of warming in the Norh Atlantic since fossil fuels were mostly in the ground??
What caused the end of he previous glacial period and the transition to he Holocene some 12,000 years ago? There is no evidence of fossil fuel burning then eiher!! In addition there were only a few million people on Earth.
