It's actually alarming to me that this post is being given any traction on here, when I know everyone here is smarter than to attribute one year to global warming. How many times have we mocked Fox News for saying shit like, "It was -10F outside today, so much for global warming!"
Climate change is clearly a big deal, and one of (if not the) biggest threats to every nation's national security, but it's not the cause of a warm 2015. Sorry folks, it just isn't.
- joenathan 11y agoYou talk about how smart everyone here is but you offer no data for your assertion. You mention the el nino being the cause but some might argue that climate change lead to a a bigger el nino. You have evidence showing that there is no link?
- Laaw 11y agoWhat kind of data do you want to see that something isn't causing something else? That's a pretty insane thing to ask for, if you know about falsifiability. Usually this works by me saying "there's no known link between a single year's temperature and overall global warming", which is a falsifiable statement, and then you/anyone else can go ahead and provide any evidence that what I said is false. If you can prove that a single year's temperature variance is primarily explained by global climate change, now would be the time to do it.
