@paddyjstephen@PeterDClack The cooling to warming transition wasn't a change in belief, but a change in the signal-to-noise ratio. In the 70s, the noise of sulfate pollution masked the significantly louder signal of warming.
Powerful lesson for your students: science isn't a static set of facts to believe
@JessicaArt74033 Like everything in life, particularly this subject, it's far more nuanced than a straight forward Yes No you propose. Further agreement with "their" standpoint can result in a No! To conclude: YES I agree with J.K.Rowling with a NO.
@Geniustechw I think he needs to go home and sort his life out. No-one should have to witness such an awful display of poor traction. Not sure what the road markings mean in whatever country that is. We wouldn't do that in the UK, too many dirty holes need filling!

@Juxtap0zed_@PeterDClack@Juxtap0zed_ quote effectively points out that we are losing the "geological guardrails" that kept that specific ecosystem in place for millennia. Without those hard freezes, the Everglades won't just "warm up"—it will transition into a completely different tropical climate.
@PeterDClack Grown-ups have been yelling "The world is ending!" and spending lots of money on things that just look good. Clack thinks we’ve finally reached the point where everyone is tired of the shouting.
@PeterDClack Take this: "The climate politics of Net Zero are marked by apocalyptic rhetoric and costly symbolism. This code red symbolism has peaked."
@PeterDClack Ok. Good better best? Your convenience of using your car, presume you have one, good right? What is the best result? What is better? Wind turbines are BETTER than fossil fuels, even with this carbuncle left behind.
