- Stevvo 5y agoAttributing any specific extreme weather event to global warning is problematic.
- canal-crab 5y agoRegarding heatwaves, they've always happened. For example, there was a heatwave in Paris in 1911 that killed around 40,000 people. It'd be easy to find a hundred examples like that, all from before humans had emitted much CO2. Regarding forest fires, acres burned are a small fraction of what they used to be in the 1920s. https://realclimatescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/2017_12_13_22_00_52-down.png https://realclimatescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/20... Regarding coral, if they're having trouble because of CO2 ppm going from 300 to 400, imagine how hard they had it back when CO2 ppm was twice what it is today... or three times. Or four times. Or ten times. Edit: I'd love for someone to provide some justification for this comment to be flagged.
