It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
Relatives who live on the land, and have done so for generations, simply accept nature as more random and cyclical....you bet they're right too....they've battled the same things we now think are unique to current weather patterns. If only they had a climate change commission back in the 50's...they'd have made good use of that government funding.!
I love it when we hear from so-called experts in the field, whose only reason they have a job is because of the climate change industry that's sprung up in recent years...and every now and then, more sensationistic data is released into the atmosphere.
I love this one "Also, the frequency of days above 30AA°C is rising and record hot days now outnumber extremely cold days by more than two-to-one.".
Where is this date being measured? Is it world-wide?
What is a record hot day?
Does everyone remember when that Chilian volcano erupted and cast a shroud of volcanic ash in the sky above Australia..? Yes, we don't just breathe the air that surrounds us, we breathe the air that originates from the other side of the globe too...
I believe NASA....but the CC experts say the sky is falling....we're all doomed.
We should all have known better when these "experts" stopped calling it "Global Warming" and started calling it "Climate Change"...nice change of tack there.
Do yourself a favour and watch "The Great Global Warming Swindle".
The debate will most likely never happen, because too many jobs would be at risk if it did.
Investing in socially and environmentally responsible industries is great, but don't assume that just because it exists...
What a load of twisted information these so called climate experts provide... Did they ever consider that the cost of air conditioners is considerably less than they were 10 and 20 years ago and that now nearly every second household can afford and has an air conditioner of some description. Of course power consumption is going to increase...what would anyone using commonsense expect.
Trying to manipulate and sell a statement "days above 30AA°C is rising and record hot days now outnumber extremely cold days" What is the definition of an extremely cold day? Who believes this nonsense? The worlds temperatures have been a changing evolution for millions of years it did not just happen in the last 100 years.
Who funds this nonsense that is being published, yep we all do... .our taxes at work?
I defer to the gentlemen who proceeded me.
They are, truly, the real experts.
