Myth-buster: Why two degrees of global warming is worse than it sounds

A couple of degrees Celsius might not sound like a lot. But in terms of global warming, it’s a big deal.

In fact, every tenth of a degree that the Earth warms in the future will make a difference in the impacts that people experience worldwide and in your neck of the woods.

Picture yourself:

• In Phoenix, Arizona, where you have to endure roughly nine additional days of over 110 degrees Fahrenheit per year than people here used to.
• In Montecito, California, where if you’re not shopping for new air filters due to expected wildfire smoke, you’re practicing your evacuation plan in preparation for the mudslides that are becoming more common on fire-scarred hillsides.
• In a Gulf Coast community, where hurricanes are getting more frequent and more severe — like Hurricane Ian, which was 10% wetter than it would have been if not for climate change.

Those are just some of the impacts we’re already seeing as a result of the one degree Celsius the world has already warmed since the late 19th century.

If it’s so dangerous, why do so few Warmists practice what they preach? Why are their lives not carbon neutral?

By transitioning off fossil fuels and to clean energy, sucking carbon out of the air, and drastically slashing emissions, the world has a chance to limit global warming — averting the worst impacts and helping to preserve a safe and livable world.

Perhaps Yale should stop using fossil fuels to operate. Turn off their heating and AC. Limit the use of WiFi, electricity, stop serving meat, and so much more. But, this is only for Other People.

If only the Hittites had driven EVs and powered everything with wind and solar, they could have survived

Climate change may have toppled Hittite Empire: study

Three years of extreme drought may have brought about the collapse of the mighty Hittite Empire around 1200 BC, researchers have said, linking the plight of the fallen civilization to the modern world’s climate crisis.

The Hittites dominated Anatolia in modern-day Turkey for nearly 500 years, even rivaling the power of the Egyptian Empire for a period.

They were one of several influential ancient civilizations in the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East which were all toppled or severely weakened at around the same time, bringing the curtain down on the Bronze Age.

The Hittites mysteriously abandoned their capital and religious center Hattusa around 1200 BC, when the royal line died out and written historical documents dried up.

“Linking the plight”. Are they saying that the current climatic changes are being caused mostly/solely by nature? Because that’s damned sure what caused those years of drought. Interestingly, the Hittites thrived during a slight cooling period that was ending and into a slight warming period, similar to the current one. And then died out as a deep cooling period started.

Of course, they really do not know what truly caused the end

The rings showed three-straight years—1198 BC to 1196 BC—with “unusually” low growth, suggesting a prolonged and particularly severe drought, according to the study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday.

The researchers suggested that the drought caused severe food shortages, particularly for the land-locked parts of the central Hittite kingdom, which depended on grain and livestock.

The food shortages could have led to political, economic and social unrest, ultimately bringing about the end of the empire.

The tree rings from a limited era “suggest.” Of course

Manning warned that current global warming means the modern world could face a “multi-year existential threat” similar to the one that affected the Hittites.

Sigh. It’s all about the scaremongering.
