"even though heat record after heat record is broken."
It's not really strange that people don't get that argument though right? Since the heat records are only a few 100 years old at most.
If "climate change is real and a problem, because weather heat records" is supposed to be a logical narrative then I can totally understand that people don't follow that logic and just tune out.
I trust the science about global warming, but the logic in those papers is very very far from "climate change is real and a problem, because weather heat records".
- dieortin 3y agoWhen heat records that stood for a century are now broken every year, it’s a clear indication that something is going on. And it’s clearly a problem. Heat being so high to beat the record is unequivocally a problem. Anyways, it’s not like those that “tune out” when you point out heat records are being broken every year would listen if you gave them truly scientific arguments.
- somsak2 3y agoI don't think it's obvious to everyone why heat records being broken are clearly or unequivocally a problem. These projections we've seen from climate scientists have always been off, why should I trust them about the impact of a warmer climate?
