20.07.2025 17:24 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0What action is possible? "Degrowth" if that's politically possible (it's not) leading to the death of hundreds of millions because of lack of food or medical care? An overnight change from fossil energy to renewables - not physically possible. And in the general population there is little fear.

15.06.2025 16:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I'll guess 1975. If I remember correctly, Britain had massive power shortages after the 1973-1974 OPEC oil embargo.

05.04.2025 17:37 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0What is your reasoning? The only way I see that happening is with nuclear war.
05.04.2025 17:19 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0No idea of the month! But I remember James Hansen saying that in 1979 Jules Carney estimated 3Β°C with a doubling of CO2. Also, that it probably wouldn't have been until the late 1970s that the climate alarmists would even think of a 5Β°C sensitivity because of aerosol unmasking.

27.01.2025 18:47 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0This decoupling is quite apparent. Here are the sea surface temp anomalies from 1940 to present, with 2023, 2024, and 2025 highlighted.

What is very worrying and surprising to many, is why the global mean surface air temp is staying so high while the global mean sea surface temp has come down substantially since the peak of the El NiΓ±o ~ 1 year ago. 1/
