Global warming forecasts

Beginning of the thread: "Wow, look! Data that falsifies our hypothesis."
Response: "No, the hypothesis is still correct despite the data that contradicts it. The data right now is short term, and it does not falsify our hypothesis."

 

Banning pizza ovens? Where do you get this stuff from?

New York City is not banning coal or wood-fired pizza ovens | verifythis.com

Trying to post this again for some reason.

 

I think the problem you highlight is tougher than most appreciate, contra. Newton’s mechanics basically drove the “scientific revolution”, as it represented the most successful scientific theory ever formulated. It could predict the paths of planets for years in advance without error. Until in the early 1800s scientists started noting that Uranus’ orbit was diverging from the Newtonian predictions. This left the scientists with two options: either discard Newton’s theory or postulate an unseen body to explain the anomaly within the Newtonian framework. Needless to say, they did the latter and discovered the planet Neptune.

 

The data does not falsify the hypothesis, at all.

 

I’d say it’s a data point, and it will certainly make them go back and reevaluate their hypothesis, but I think it’s a bit premature to say it falsifies the hypothesis. For one, and I could certainly be wrong, I don’t think they’ve ever stated that every year would result in more storms. Anyone that lives in hurricane alley knows there is significant yearly variation. I doubt many climate scientists (if any at all) feel they have nailed the dynamics of global climate though.

 

The world reaches a historic tipping point thanks to 'the most rapid change since the Industrial Revolution'

With rapid deployment of renewables 2024 is expected to the worldwide peak of CO2 emissions.

 

Wow, I had not read this before. Let’s hope market forces continue to drive down emissions post-2024 and that the trend accelerates!

 

Watched way too many sports my entire life and yet somehow I missed that clip. Thank you for the joy you brought me this morning. I've seriously watched it 20 times and laughed every single time.

It also happens to be devastatingly appropriate for the original post.

 

Is this one of those threads I keep hearing about that aged well?

 

Well done. Genius level stuff.

 

That's the Throwin Mayoan himself. Mr. Kerwin Bell.

 

OMG... that's a bummer. I love Kerwin, so it hurts it a little to know he might be in one of the most humiliating sports bloopers ever.

 

If it helps, he did just rush for TD before this tragedy of events.



He got flagged, too. Oof. lol

 

Our next HBC!!

 

Thanks a lot OP

Remember, it's all a Chinese hoax!

 

Yep, just waiting around for next week's hundred year storm.

 

How did the hurricane season turn out? Pretty quiet, right?
