Let's get angry at neolithic peoples monuments, after all they started the destruction... Others wonder why country after country are walking away from environmental commitments, when whoppers like these are about doing their stuff in the name of saving the environment.

Yeah thats the reason countries are 'walking away' nothing to do with fossil fuel lobbyists, right wing propaganda or the easily confused who believe Jeremy Clarkson over empirical data. It's about 2 litres of washable orange paint that dictates global policy

If people are concerned about what orange coloured cornflour does to lichen what will they do about rising tempertures that will affect it more.

That's the irony of the climate change deniers and their argument to focus on other issues, nearly every single one of those issues main driver will be climate change in the coming decades.

There was a guy on here saying funds should be diverted away from environmental research and instead used for cancer research, ignoring the fact that pollution and climate change is actively causing an increase in cancer.

Beyond thick. Can’t believe what I read sometimes,
 
For clear scientific consensus there sure are a lot of predictions that don't happen........

Yawn. I guess it gives our friend Tipp his daily priapism to scrape redditt content and other sources and repost it here in some sort of gotchya moment. But in any case, having old quotes from two scientists in 1970 isn't exactly very damning evidence against climate change. Ehrlich, in particular, was roundly criticized at the time by other scientists for making ridiculously exaggerated claims that do more harm than good (fast forward to present and witness GOT's own lazy youtube climate-denier pushing this as "evidence" against climate change). Climate science has evolved since 1970.

As to Australia's snow fall it is diminishing, but it shows high interannual variability. Most projections have pretty wide confidence intervals, making one-off predictions by individual scientists irrelevant to the trends and model output.

Same goes for Arctic sea ice. It is diminishing but it is a stochastic process that also gets replenished. It's going, but not at a rate originally thought. Compare 1979 (left) to 2022 (right).

But again, taking one scientist's claim and thinking it's "gotchya moment" is the intellectual laziness we expect from Tipp. But such an unimaginative tactic has literally nothing to do with the tens of thousands of independently published peer-reviewed papers documenting climate change. More generally, this is about the 10th time I've responded to Tipp's Truth Social-level posts. If Tipp would act in good faith and not just troll-post for mental-microboners he wouldn't have to be repeatedly embarrassed on this forum, but Tipp understands nothing about science and refuses to make any attempts to learn about it. What a weird way to walk through life.
