False. The earth has experienced strong el nino years in 1978-79 and in 2016. That first el nino meant that the global average temperature was the hottest ever recorded. Now, it doesn't even make the top 10. It's gotten so hot because the El Nino occurred over an already higher baseline.

No, it's the science that can be read in scientific journals. Climate Scientists Virtually Unanimous: Anthropogenic Global Warming Is True The extent of the consensus among scientists on anthropogenic global warming (AGW) has the potential to influence public opinion and the attitude of political leaders and thus matters greatly to society. The history of science demonstrates that if we wish to judge the level of a scientific consensus and whether the consensus position is likely to be correct, the only reliable source is the peer-reviewed literature. During 2013 and 2014, only 4 of 69,406 authors of peer-reviewed articles on global warming, 0.0058% or 1 in 17,352, rejected AGW. Thus, the consensus on AGW among publishing scientists is above 99.99%, verging on unanimity. https://philpapers.org/rec/POWCSV

What is it about denialists that keeps them from understanding the concept of "rate of change". If you were to choose between 2 equally guaranteed accounts to park your cash in, one of which offered a rate of return of 1% and other which offered 5%, would you think that there was no significant difference between the 2? That rates don't matter?

But it's not only about temperature is it. What about the effect of burning fossil fuels on human health? Fossil fuel air pollution responsible for 1 in 5 deaths worldwide The study shows that more than 8 million people around the globe die each year as a result of breathing in air containing particles from burning fuels like coal, petrol and diesel, which aggravate respiratory conditions like asthma and can lead to lung cancer, coronary heart disease, strokes and early death. The research, led by Harvard University in collaboration with UCL, the University of Birmingham and the University of Leicester has been published in the journal Environmental Research. Co-author and UCL Associate Professor Eloise Marais (UCL Geography) said: “Burning fossil fuels produces fine particles laden with toxins that are small enough to penetrate deep into the lungs. The risks of inhaling these particles, known as PM2.5, are well documented. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2021/feb/fossil-fuel-air-pollution-responsible-1-5-deaths-worldwide

Either you are being deceptive in using this graph or you have been deceived by your fellow denialists. Since you don't include a link to it, who knows where it came from. What I do know is that this graph.Your graph actually is incomplete. It fails to include most of the period starting around 1980 when temperatures began to rise sharply, as per the predictions of the scientific community. Not only is it incomplete but it treats phenomena such as the medieval warm period, Roman warming, and the little Ice age as global phenomena which they weren't. 2000+ year graph of global temperature including so-called "Medieval Warm Period" (shaded in pink) and "Little Ice Age" (shaded in blue) - derived from graphic by Ed Hawkins.

I've seen this trope repeated endless times and its silliness should be obvious. If I live in a house made out of wood, am I living in a house made of fuel? If it's not used for combustion, it's not a fuel. Any petroleum or natural gas that is turned into various substances other than those created by combustion, is not being used as a fuel.

Trying to wriggle away from your previous comment. Here it is again: "No, he hasn't. The Court decided to let the states decide for themselves, and they are." And no, the Supreme Courts Dobbs decision didn't empower states to expand abortion right protection. They were always free to do so. As for severe restrictions, I guess you are unfamiliar with the term "trigger law". Supreme Court Will Hear Challenge to Idaho’s Near-Total Abortion Ban The legal battle in Idaho is part of a broader wave of challenges following the 2022 Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, when a so-called “trigger” law automatically came into effect in Idaho prohibiting all abortions except in cases where it is deemed necessary to prevent the mother's death. https://time.com/6969108/supreme-court-idaho-abortion-ban-case/ New Texas law increasing penalties for abortion providers goes into effect Aug. 25 The U.S. Supreme Court issued its judgment Tuesday in the Mississippi case that revoked a constitutional right to abortion. That means Texas’ “trigger law” severely limiting the procedure will soon take effect. https://www.texastribune.org/2022/07/26/texas-abortion-ban-dobbs/ Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe: Missouri has begun to enforce its trigger ban to prohibit abortion entirely. On June 24, 2022, Missouri began enforcing its trigger ban,[1] which bans all abortions except to save the life of the pregnant person, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.[2] https://reproductiverights.org/maps/state/missouri/

So, he's only responsible for setting back women's rights in states that have imposed severe restrictions on abortions.

Who made you the Lord of the English language? "a very young child, especially one newly or recently born." https://www.google.com/search?q=baby+definition&oq=baby+definition&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDI4MDZqMGo5qAIAsAIB&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

More misinformation for the semi-literate. If someone had a serious case to make, they would put it in writing. "Although there is nothing wrong with the statement that the Earth is truly very hot at its center (actually as hot as the surface of the sun) the notion that it is a significant source of heat at the surface is easily dismissed with a little critical thinking. If the inner heat were really the dominant factor, then surely the day-night cycle would not be what it is, nor would you expect such variation in climates over seasons and latitudes. How can the south pole be covered with thousands of meters of ice with all this heat supposedly bubbling up from the surface? Why would a little lower angle of sunlight cause the average temperature to drop from +20°C in the summer to -20°C in the winter?" https://grist.org/climate-energy/global-warming-comes-from-within/

And yet even republicans overwhelmingly support abortion in the case of rape or incest or the health of the mother. And even states with strict anti-abortion laws allow for these exceptions. I guess they don't have stones to call it murder either. Vast majority of Republicans support abortion exceptions for rape, incest and mother's health A new survey shows broad bipartisan support for abortion exemptions, including in states that have restricted the procedure. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-election/vast-majority-republicans-support-abortion-exceptions-rape-incest-moth-rcna52237 DeSantis signs Florida GOP’s 6-week abortion ban into law The law contains some exceptions, including to save the woman’s life. Abortions for pregnancies involving rape or incest would be allowed until 15 weeks of pregnancy, provided a woman has documentation such as a restraining order or police report. DeSantis has called the rape and incest provisions sensible. https://apnews.com/article/florida-abortion-ban-approved-c9c53311a0b2426adc4b8d0b463edad1

I nearly believe you.

I know what you mean. For instance, the Trump organization was repeatedly slandered by leftists for being a corrupt enterprise. But the courts proved them wrong. While it was indicted on 17 criminal counts, it was only convicted on 17 of them.

In Chiang Mai’s temple-studded Old Town, one set of pointy roofs is not like the others. Built in wicker-patterned grey brick, the high-pitched gables of Kalm Village are a far cry from the gilded and jewelled gingerbread trims of its divine neighbours. The community here has swapped worship for workshops and put traditional artisans from Thailand on a pedestal. “We wanted to create a space that would bring people together through the love of art, craft and culture,” says creative director Achariyar Rojanapirom, who opened Kalm Village with her brother Araya in the spring of 2021. https://archive.ph/3dx4X#selection-2265.0-2269.46 https://www.ft.com/content/1e8396e2-7956-4d8c-a727-4d40d6022cff

Israel fears ICC will issue arrest warrants for Netanyahu and other top officials The country is working through diplomatic channels to try to stop the warrants from being issued by the International Criminal Court, an Israeli official told NBC News. Israel is greatly concerned that the International Criminal Court may issue arrest warrants for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and senior military officials as early as this week, an Israeli official told NBC News. Israel is working through diplomatic channels to try to stop the warrants being issued, the official said Monday. When asked about media reports of the arrest warrants, the ICC told NBC News that it “has an ongoing independent investigation in relation to the Situation in the State of Palestine" and that "we have no further comment to make at this stage." https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-fears-icc-issue-arrest-warrants-netanyahu-gaza-war-hamas-rcna149739

Laughable you accusing someone of trolling. Projecting much?

Another amateur gerontologist shares their learned opinion with us.

Oops! Here's what I meant to write: "When you couple this statement with the fact that Trump believes that a President has absolute license to commit any crime, it's clear that the threat of tyranny that he poses is a real one."

You really want to run with your dishonest B.S? Who do you think it was protesting the Saudi invasion of Yemen and the consequent famine? We have only to remember how Obama was treated by the Saudis when he began to pull back on support of their venture in Yemen. And his tepid support of the Saudis was criticized by progressives. As for your Pavlovian Marxism nonsense...the Israelis have established what even an ex-head of Mossad called an apartheid-like system of government in the West Bank. And in Gaza when they ruled it. Can you identify these Marxists and show us where they support the State taking over the means of production? By the way, I remember back when you were calling Senator John Fetterman a vegetable. Would his current strong support for Israel qualify as a symptom in your estimation?

You think an insult is a valid substitute for facts? Typical. Thanks, mini-Trump.

Trump Speaks At Fourth-Grade Level, Lowest Of Last 15 U.S. Presidents, New Analysis Finds President Donald Trump—who boasted over the weekend that his success in life was a result of "being, like, really smart"—communicates at the lowest grade level of the last 15 presidents, according to a new analysis of the speech patterns of presidents going back to Herbert Hoover. The analysis assessed the first 30,000 words each president spoke in office, and ranked them on the Flesch-Kincaid grade level scale and more than two dozen other common tests analyzing English-language difficulty levels. Trump clocked in around mid-fourth grade, the worst since Harry Truman, who spoke at nearly a sixth-grade level. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-fire-and-fury-smart-genius-obama-774169

Average temperature for bangkkok april 2024 and april 2023 What really stands out more then the difference between daily high temperatures of the 2 months, is the daily lows. Only 2 days in April of 2023 had a low of more than 85 degrees. Whereas, so far in April 2024, there have been 18. Public health officials know that it's harmful to health if people, animals and plants don't have a chance to cool down during the evening.

When you coupe this statement with the fact that Trump believes that a President has absolute license to commit any crime, it's clear that the threat of tyranny that he poses is a real one.
