Where’s the list of ‘the world’s leading climate scientists’ as they’re described below? We should be told. The hysteria bug seems to have got them all, after just one warmer than normal month in some parts of the world. Even climate models are wilting under the strain it seems, as we accelerate to oblivion or something. More drama needed? Or just more self-serving headlines? Reminder: the carbon dioxide they obsess about is a minor but essential trace gas currently occupying around 0.04% of the atmosphere.

The “crazy” extreme weather rampaging around the globe in 2023 will become the norm within a decade without dramatic climate action, the world’s leading climate scientists have said. – From The Guardian (via Yahoo News).
The heatwaves, wildfires and floods experienced today were just the “tip of the iceberg” compared with even worse effects to come, they said, with limitations in climate models leaving the world “flying partially blind” into the future.
With fears that humanity’s relentless carbon emissions have finally pushed the climate crisis into a new and accelerating phase of destruction, the Guardian sought the expert assessments of more than 40 scientists from around the world.
They said that the rise in global temperature was entirely in line with decades of warnings and was being boosted this year by the return of the El Niño climate pattern.
But they said that people and places were more vulnerable to extreme weather than expected and were suffering effects never previously experienced as climate records were shattered. [Talkshop comment – meaningless waffle].
“July was the hottest month in human history and people around the world are suffering the consequences,” said Prof Piers Forster at the University of Leeds, UK. “But this is what we expected at [this level] of warming. This will become the average summer in 10 years’ time unless the world cooperates and puts climate action top of the agenda.” [Talkshop comment – certainly a pretty average summer in the UK this year].

“July was the hottest month in human history and people around the world are suffering the consequences,” Now, I would thought Prof Piers Forster, an atmospheric physicist, would know that the Roman Climate Optimum had the odd July warmer than those today. Sadly he is paid to claim otherwise.
I think this prof has been playing too many computer games or he is one of those that can’t think of looking at what happened more than a year ago.
Preserve us from ignorant teachers and Leeds ‘university’.
‘With fears that humanity’s relentless carbon emissions have finally pushed the climate crisis into a new and accelerating phase of destruction, the Guardian sought’…
Fears stirred up by the media. UK climate shows no crisis.
“Almost all our indicators on climate are pointing in the wrong direction.”
Why almost all? One exception: Observations.
If the brilliant scientist actually believes that emissions will fall in the next ten years, he really is delusional.
“the Guardian”, well that explains it all *spit*
