You got it, if this is the “new normal”, what happens when things get worse? There is absolutely no doubt that the climate extremes, be they heat, drought, floods or hurricanes, to name but a few, will intensify.
Is the world prepared for climate refugees by mid century?
Hurricanes are not more extreme neither are tornadoes or droughts
If you think 97% of climate scientists agree that man is causing Global Warming, maybe you should review the abstract of the Cook Study (the cited source of the 97% statistic): "We find that 66.4% of abstracts expressed no position on AGW (man-caused global warming), 32.6% endorsed AGW, 0.7% rejected AGW and 0.3% were uncertain about the cause of global warming. Among abstracts expressing a position on AGW, 97.1% endorsed the consensus position that humans are causing global warming" https://iopscience.iop.org/article/1...326/8/2/024024
In other words, it is a 32.6% scientific consensus on man-caused gobal warming - not 97%.
I don’t even know where to start with this nonsense, but just to give you a dose of reality, and a breath from your conspiracy theories, climate change is happening faster at the earths poles than it is at the equator, and many scientists believe that, as a result, the polar vortex is now shifting southward during the North American winter, resulting in arctic cold spells.
Heatwave frequency or severity on a global scale has not changed if anything slightly decreasing
I thought we were talking about the future? At least I was. Droughts are seemingly localized across the U.S., the same can be said for floods being localized. Two examples: The Midwest continues to see above average precipitation every year, while the West continues to see below average precipitation, and these trends will continue.
your chart is drought not heatwaves; which are related but not the same thing
I said drought, hurricanes and tornadoes
