Climate Change Will Force a New American Migration
- vixen99 6y agoNot everyone agrees. Great chance here for critics to finally explode counter assertions with a list of errors and or counter claims relevant (for instance) to this survey of the US climate in 2019 published by the sceptical GWPF. https://www.thegwpf.org/official-us-climate-data-reveals-no-cause-for-alarm/ https://www.thegwpf.org/official-us-climate-data-reveals-no-... This claims "Average temperatures have risen by 0.15°F/decade since 1895, with the increase most marked in winter. • There has been little or no rise in temperatures since the mid 1990s. • Summers were hotter in the 1930s than in any recent years. • Heatwaves were considerably more intense in decades up to 1960 than anything seen since. • Cold spells are much less severe than they used to be. • Central and Eastern regions have become wetter, with a consequent drastic reduction in drought. In the west, there has been little long-term change. • While the climate has become wetter in much of the country, evidence shows that floods are not getting worse. • Hurricanes are not becoming either more frequent or powerful. • Tornadoes are now less common than they used to be, particularly the stronger ones. • Sea-level rise is currently no higher than around the mid-20th century. • Wildfires now burn only a fraction of the acreage they did prior to the Second World War."
