We don't have to flog this dead horse every time.
Ok, fine. Maybe there's a 0.000001% chance this has nothing to do with climate change (caused by man made global warming at that) & is just a temporary aberration. It's only 99.99999% certain.
Is that vanishingly impossible probability worth hopping in to defend? Is it? Do we have to suffer this, every time someone mentions climate change? Why be a denialist? What makes it worth considering this anti-stance for even a second? Why bank so much on the shadow of a doubt?
- nathanaldensr 3y ago"Every news story that even remotely involves the weather is climate change." Well, except for 0.000001% of them.
- pasttense01 3y agoClimate change shows its effects over decades--not over a year or two as has happened with cocoa.
- defrost 3y agoClimate change is entirely capable of ratcheting the La Niña | El Niño ENSO cycle to create the sharpest heat increase in short time on record . . . which is exactly what has happened. https://www.csiro.au/en/news/all/articles/2023/may/climate-change-affecting-el-nino https://www.csiro.au/en/news/all/articles/2023/may/climate-c...
- 4gotunameagain 3y agoI just think that behaviours like that (incessantly blaming climate change when it is not 100% the case) are what feed climate change denialism. Could it be because of climate change ? Maybe. Probably. Will that assertion feed denialists because it is not concrete ? I think so.
