North pole to melt this year?

One of my questions is, is the climate of Texas in 2019 any less livable than the one in 1899? What is life expectancy and mortality rate now vs. then?

You answer that and you know for sure.

Temps in smaller cities outside of Dallas, Houston, etc (thus less affected by surface changes) have not changed in 100 years. The warmists say warming has been observed elsewhere. Also I will try to post a graph showing less loss due to weather events today than in the past normalized to GDP.

mchammer, showing real data.

You bring up a good point. Obviously the climate of Texas was pretty unlivable in 1899. It was hot as hell much like it is now. However, technology adapted with things like air conditioning just as it has adapted with other things. Now tens of millions of people including the elderly and small children can safely live in Texas because of that technology.

The doomsday scenarios we hear so much about presume no adaptation. We'll never figure out a way to adapt to higher temperatures. Coastal cities will flood under rising tides, and the people in those cities will just sit on their asses and drown. Well, those kinds of assumptions simply aren't consistent with human history.

 

[Monahorns]

Yes Deez. When you give humans resources they innovate and adapt. Do more of that. Increase the resources of your people so that on average people have more options.

The minute you start using the government to take away money and resources in order to prevent change (even assuming the change is really bad), then you doom your society to real problems in the short term.

Has it freaking melted already? Im tired of bumping this thread.

Yes, it has melted but unfortunately it froze over again this winter. Check back this same time next year for an update.

Ice extent in the Arctic is growing I think.

 

[UTChE96]

Those wacky scientists. I tell ya. Thank God we got the radio personalities and corporate-funded experts to set us straight!

Doesn't matter what the evidence is when doubters' brains are still frozen in the stone age.

Funny responses from 12 years ago.

It will be the same 12 years from now, but by then the global population (ex Africa ) will have peaked.

Yes it is.
Strong Arctic sea-ice growth this year

Here's the yeah, but from the media.

Greenland glacier is growing - media yeah, but article.

A Greenland glacier is growing. That doesn't mean melting is over.

Clearly there is consensus that there is global warming/climate change/we'reallgonnadie!

 

[Monahorns]

Yeah, the thing we said would happen isn't, BUT that just means something worse will happen or it means the thing is happening that we are claiming even though it isn't.

I agree we'reallgonnadie! Just not from climate change.

 

[Monahorns]

Everybody dies. But by burning fossil fuels for energy we die much later in life than before.

Are they going to have to cancel Christmas this year?
