And that's evidence of warming, not "burning".
Apocalyptic language is not scientific. But when the facts don't inspire action, activists resort to hyperbole and distortion.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoGP spelt out they were metaphorically speaking. I don't see them claiming to be one of the climate scientists etc. Warming or burning, it's shaping up to ruin society as we know it. At least if we are going to believe the scientists and economists at the IPCC. They seem to be expecting at least two of the four horsemen. That seems pretty apocalyptic to me. If that;s not enough to inspire action, what the hell is? New York knee deep in water?
- seppin 7y ago> Apocalyptic language is not scientific Disagree. The effect to society the warming causes is apocalyptic (1 billion climate refugees). Pointing to rising sea level and temperature is the cause, the effect is our society being unrecognizable in a few short decades.
