Constant irritation to climate science deniers afraid of the truth, for some reason.

@BukvarevicEdim @jemmm85517813 Isn't it scientifically illiterate to compare tectonic shifts over millions of years with global warming over a couple of hundred years?

[altouk @altouk1]

@BigJoeBastardi Coldest High Arctic summer” is a regional story. The broader Arctic (60 to 90°N) still had a very warm July overall in many analyses; the extreme cold is concentrated at the highest latitudes.

Weather is not climate & one cool pocket does not cancel the multi-decadal trend

@latimeralder The US is one place. Global polling (Pew, Gallup World Risk, etc) shows majorities in most surveyed nations still rate climate as a major threat.🚨

@luisbaram "Wisest" as in most hilarious conspiracist drivel?

@PeterDClack "There was more food in the trees than anyone, or anything, could ever eat."

For "early mammals", perhaps.

But for billions of urban dwelling humans?

@GerardAMorrow You’ve managed to turn the scientific method into a children’s game of “one strike and you’re out.” Next you’ll demand we abandon germ theory because someone once predicted a flu season that was milder than expected.

[altouk @altouk1]

@GerardAMorrow Jaws are dropping, all right. Mostly from the sheer commitment to explaining radiative transfer using percentages you clearly calculated on a beermat after six pints.

@plav1951 @jemmm85517813 Congratulations on joining the largest club on the internet: people who predicted disaster, watched the disaster not happen and still treated it as TOTAL vindication!

@MitchP85D @ElliotDavid16 @ChrisMartzWX The data kept pointing one way, the models kept improving one way, the ice kept doing its thing one way… and the funding followed the results.

Shocking, I know.

@badmathsnphet @Monetarius @PullNews @KonstantinKisin Climate science denier, then.
Better?

[altouk @altouk1]

@PullNews @KonstantinKisin "Control of the masses"

Yawn.
Silly, predictable consipiracy theorising.

@helen44767171 Like Melania Knauss did, then?

[altouk @altouk1]

So, Burnham is apparently "prolier than thou" but when wine-quaffing Farage pretends to enjoy drinking beer instead when the cameras are around, that's absolutely fine?

Come off it, @LBC. @TomSwarbrick1!

[altouk @altouk1]

@RaffaeleFerilli @robinmonotti The full passage isn’t “let’s invent a fake crisis for control.” It’s “these problems are real and caused by humans, so the real enemy is us.” But nuance is for people who read past the bolded parts and the skull emojis.

[altouk @altouk1]

@robinmonotti Embarrassingly stupid consipracy theory.😂

[altouk @altouk1]

@rexdelay @apbiogenesis @luisbaram Denialists ponder such an outrageous scenario:

[altouk @altouk1]

@NetZeroWatch Yeah, that'll save a HUGE chunk out of the £8 BILLION budget...

And the diesel fumes will keep the roads warm in winter. Very efficient. 👍

[altouk @altouk1]

@Janine511484078 Ahh, more of that denialist "humour"...

[altouk @altouk1]

@Rubin536424 @RogerPielkeJr @Rebecca21951651 Modelling is how we quantify the contribution of known physics under different forcing scenarios. Calling it “conjecture” doesn’t make you a hard-nosed sceptic; it just means you’ve decided the scientific method is optional when the results are incompatible with your beliefs.

[altouk @altouk1]

@Rubin536424 @RogerPielkeJr @Rebecca21951651 Yes, any use of a climate model (or any model, really) is instantly “conjecture.” Never mind that the same logic would render weather forecasts, aircraft design, epidemiology, engineering stress tests & your phone’s autocorrect pure fantasy.
