The deniers are out claiming it's just another day, nothing to see here.

Those weren't his words, you nevertheless incorrectly attributed them to that poster. Marine sediment cores provide temperature records spanning millions of years. They contain the fossilised shells of tiny marine creatures that preserve a chemical record of the sea temperature when they lived. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2012/mar/07/past-climate-temperature-proxies

Any link to evidence for this? Or just a religious belief so no evidence needed? -

Global sea levels have been varying due to natural causes in the past but now they are not naturally caused, they are caused by humans. There is no controversy over this proposition and there are millions of scientific documents and online articles supporting my claim, including the one you linked. From your link. The ocean is absorbing more than 90 percent of the increased atmospheric heat associated with emissions from human activity. With continued ocean and atmospheric warming, sea levels will likely rise for many centuries at rates higher than that of the current century. -------------- From about 3,000 years ago to about 100 years ago, sea levels naturally rose and declined slightly, with little change in the overall trend. Over the past 100 years, global temperatures have risen about 1 degree C (1.8 degrees F), with sea level response to that warming totaling about 160 to 210 mm (with about half of that amount occurring since 1993), or about 6 to 8 inches. And the current rate of sea-level rise is unprecedented over the past several millennia. https://sealevel.nasa.gov/faq/13/how-long-have-sea-levels-been-rising-how-does-recent-sea-level-rise-compare-to-that-over-the-previous/

Thailand's infection trend appear to be similar to that in Australia. Australia sees record COVID-19 cases, hospital admissions due to Omicron variants, influenza as nation's hospitals struggle In what feels like a repeat of 2020, demand in hospitals from flu and COVID-19 cases has threatened to "outstrip supply" as thousands of sick healthcare workers become part of the record-breaking statistics around the nation. Here's a breakdown of COVID-19's impact around the country on Monday: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-18/australia-record-breaking-infections-from-covid-19-and-flu/101247968

A doctor in Texas says that one of her miscarrying patients recently suffered gravely due to restrictions placed on medical professionals by the Lone Star State's abortion laws. In an interview with the Associated Press, San Antonio-based Dr. Jessian Munoz revealed that a patient recently came to him while she was miscarrying and was developing what the AP describes as "a dangerous womb infection." Even though the fetus had no chance of survival, Munoz was legally barred from trying to remove it until no heartbeat could be detected, which meant the patient had to suffer for hours while she "lost multiple liters of blood" and had to be put on a breathing machine. https://www.rawstory.com/texas-abortion-law-2657689070/

Governments can either come up with a collaborative and urgent plan to tackle the fossil fuel-driven climate emergency that is already wreaking deadly havoc across the globe or keep allowing corporations to pollute the atmosphere without limit, thereby condemning humanity to a grim future. That stark warning comes from United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, who said Monday: "We have a choice. Collective action or collective suicide." https://www.rawstory.com/collective-action-or-collective-un-chief-pleads-for-real-climate-response/ -

In Australia, the expression would be "a drover's dog" would be better than Trump. -

I've been CEO of a corporation and had lots of other management experience. The notion that a company the size of McKinsey surviving by giving fraudulent information or that clients wouldn't demand background data is fanciful. -

Being dazzled and not checking results is not how big business works. I'm surprised you fell for this conspiracy theory. -

Think about the logic behind that claim. If it were true how does McKinsey survive? It obviously works for the companies for McKinsey would go out of business. Do you have any eviudence that's true? I'm not denying it but it doesn't pass the sniff test. -
These 5 words from the U.S. Supreme Court will live in infamy Ten, 20, 30 years from now, long after Clarence Thomas’ harassing days are over, long after Brett Kavanaugh has sipped his last beer, and long after Amy Coney Barrett finally realizes that her imaginary white Jesus is never showing up to save her and her church friends from the “Tribulation,” those of us still around will be staring out at the bleak, heat-ravaged landscape, cursing the memory of John Roberts’ words. Every time a town ends up underwater, every time a power grid collapses from the heat, every time crops fail, or the heat outside becomes unlivable, and the air from the fires just burns out our lungs, we can look to those five little words for our cold comfort. Because, after all, it was only “the crisis of the day.” https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2022/7/15/2110364/-Five-words-from-the-U-S-Supreme-Court-that-will-live-in-infamy

Man charged with raping Ohio girl, 10, who was denied abortion

Attorney Kathleen DeLaney sent the “cease and desist” letter to Indiana Republican Attorney General Todd Rokita on behalf of obstetrician-gynecologist Caitlin Bernard, who performed a medical abortion on the girl. The letter says Rokita’s statements Wednesday on Fox News “cast Dr. Bernard in a false light and allege misconduct in her profession.” DeLaney said the doctor could file a defamation claim against Rokita if he does not comply. https://apnews.com/article/abortion-health-indiana-indianapolis-2942ed35386304eed30bbe65b9514515 -

Rising profits levels among the Australian corporate sector have been identified as one of the key causes for increasing inflation levels across the country, a new report has shown. Research from The Australia Institute has revealed increasing profit levels among companies, and not increased wages for workers, have been contributing to rising inflation rates. It comes as Treasurer Jim Chalmers warned families would have to endure tough economic times in the next couple of months as inflation continues to rise, adding to the rising cost of living. https://www.crikey.com.au/2022/07/18/rising-profits-behind-inflation-report-2/
