I was not aware i provided any 'examples'. You might note that i did not take the AGW stance..nor did I take the natural variability stance either. My point, again, is that for whatever reason..things are changing and that we need to adapt to those changes.Hmmm...a model need not be definitively predictive. It's just a tool. I know the climate is chaotic..after all, whole fields of mathematics have been invented just to study it. still, enough time and you can get a baseline--draw a few conclusions.Because the climate is chaotic and can not be modeled accurately, ever! We're smart enough to understand that...Why is the premise not presented in a holistic model..
What I find hilarious is the earths cyclical patterns are well known and yet you AGW nutters want to believe a model that can not replicate reality... Yet the activity seen is well within natural variation bounds.... GO figure...
You seem so caught up in the political kerfuffle..that you don't think to believe your senses. There is observable evidence that things are getting warmer. Heat=energy--thus more powerful storms and extremes in temp. The why of it..except to you guys that like to brangle, is irrelevant..things are changing..so it's time to adapt to the change. Human exacerbated or no.
I doubt that I'm any kind of 'nutter'....unless pragmatism is a mental defect.
You, on the other hand....![]()
All your examples are nothing more than business as usual on planet earth...records have been being set in one place or another on a daily basis since we started keeping records. Name anything in todays climate that even begins to approach the boundaries of natural variability..anything at all...or better yet, provide a single piece of observed, measured evidence which supports the AGW hypothesis over natural variability. Good luck producing that bit of non existent evidence.
Actually a very smart position to take. Because ironically, there are threats to our environment that are cataclysmic that ARE NOT GW... Like asteroids.. Or even more ironically, the example that I use for warmers is that it's only been about 10 years since we found out the portion of Antarctica ice (West coast) were the melting is observed are sitting on giant ACTIVE volcanic fissures...

Would be a real bitch if we plunge all of the world economies into stagnation trying to mitigate CO2 and SUDDENLY -- we start to see SURFACE ERUPTIONS down there and the "flood threat" is not 50 or 100 years out, but only a matter of years...
My position is -- I accept CO2 as a GHouse gas and man has had a fractional effect on the recent observed warning.. But all of the CATASTROPHIC adjunct theories of "trigger temps" and "all positive feedbacks" and sudden accelerations BEYOND the capability of co2 emissions to warm the planet are not likely...
