Scientists Are Freaking Out About Ocean Temperatures

Someone else who apparently doesn't understand the concept of rates. -
Your comment was so foolish that I couldn't take it seriously. It's the same kind of reasoning that says if eating one piece of fruit per day is good for your health, then eating 100 is even better. Or if one ibuprofen can cure a headache then a hundred will cure someone of headaches forever. Do you really need more examples of why your claim was so foolish? Does it really need to be spelled out any further?

Yes, definitely. I'm guessing you're about to invoke some critique based on the observation that no cause in the world can be characterized as 100% certain. If that were a meaningful comment, then all science and technology would be built on a heap of sand. In the real world, science and technology work, even nuclear physics are ultimately based on statistics. -

Really? It's false that scientists don't understand what "primary driver signifies? other Pavlovian comment from you. -

The proof that what you're denying about aerosols is nonsense is very clear. Occasionally, when there's a truly catastrophic eruption of a volcano that sends huge quantities of aerosols into the atmosphere, what invariably follows is global cooling. Effect of volcanic eruptions significantly underestimated in climate projections Where and when a volcano erupts is not something that humans can control, but volcanoes do play an important role in the global climate system. When volcanoes erupt, they can spew sulphur gases into the upper atmosphere, which forms tiny particles called aerosols that reflect sunlight back into space. For very large eruptions, such as Mount Pinatubo in 1991, the volume of volcanic aerosols is so large that it single-handedly causes global temperatures to drop. https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/effect-of-volcanic-eruptions-significantly-underestimated-in-climate-projections -
Sure you just asked questions based on a ridiculous assumption because....? No way it was a rhetorical question? Which is "a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer." Disingenuous much? You're not fooling anybody. So how do you plan to get these alleged native born workers to do these jobs? And what happens to those industries while they're waiting for that to happen? More Pavlovian right wing nonsense from you.

One explanation from that article: "The simplest case against sensationalism comes from understanding the sample sizes of many of these polls. Jackson and Cox are quick to point out that many of the headlines hyping up the discontent of young voters are reporting on numbers in the crosstabs of polls, which usually represent a smaller number of respondents with larger room for error. The USA Today/Suffolk poll, for example, was of 1,000 registered voters; the conclusion about Trump leading Biden was drawn from the responses of 238 people under the age of 35." https://www.vox.com/politics/24034416/young-voters-biden-trump-gen-z-polling-israel-gaza-economy-2024-election

First off, you're denying what you claimed earlier which was this: "if all these illegal immigrants are so industrious and hardworking, why are their own original countries so economically deprived? Why are such valuable assets able to leave their home countries so easily in the first place ?" So trying owning up to your falsehood instead of denying it. You may not see much value in what fast food delivery men offer society, but what about the people who plant and harvest America's produce, tend America's dairies, and staff its meat processing plants. And as for fast food delivery, delivery service has become crucial to large segments of the American restaurant industry which contributes close to 1 trillion dollars to American GDP. As for drug dealers, given the demand and economic opportunity, basic laws of supply and demand tell us there will no shortage of salespeople whether native or foreign born. Right. All those people working in jobs native born Americans won't do, are in the US to try and get on welfare.

Here's a link to another article. He doesn't feature in it at all but other climatologists do. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/north-atlantic-el-nino-national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration-scientists-university-of-sussex-b2356711.html Here's a link to another https://www.carbonbrief.org/daily-brief/north-atlantic-temperature-anomaly-sparks-concern-among-climate-scientists/ and another https://www.lemonde.fr/en/environment/article/2024/02/01/ocean-temperatures-reach-impressive-and-worrying-record-levels_6485327_114.html
