Nurseries literally pump Co2 into their hothouses for that very reason:

@Bomber1408 the overwhelming majority of Blitz are in support of the science consensus. Fair enough, surely. I do wonder if supporters would retrospectively support science when the consensus was the opposite in decades gone by. I would say yes, and given what was presented/available at that time that’s fair enough too as much as it may indicate quite the swing. The raw data should be the driver, which is clearly in support of warming, as unfortunately is the remaining ‘data’ which is often compensated incorrectly or just needless propaganda. Some tidal height data which often compares satellite altimetry data with tidal gauges/stations and other historical crude measurement methods directly without any appropriate compensation modelling has been swallowed by science and supporters like the water it measures. I can understand the frustration there. Not many of us have the time or inclination to model the data, so deferring to a consensus is a pretty robust approach.

This northern summer has been horrendous, but next summer is probably going to be worse. Multiple breadbasket failures aren’t too far away. I don’t think many people understand the ramifications of what that would mean.

The boreal forest is being decimated before our very eyes, such an important part of our planet’s ecosystem is potentially going to become grasslands.

Changes are happening at great speed, yet even people that belive that climate change is real think there are many decades before it gets serious.

Things are serious now.

This line of thinking is incorrect. There was never any scientific consensus on “global cooling.” The warming effect of CO2 has been known since the mid-1800s, and the warming implications of persistent fossil fuel use have been known since the early 1900s.

The scientific consensus has been consistent for much longer than many realise

It also doesn’t really matter even if it did. Science follows the evidence, even if it did suggest something different than present, that’s only because we have better data and evidence with which to make more informed conclusions.

Critical thinking should be a mandatory part of early education, so many people completely lack it

That is an excellent point, it really should not matter.

However the “global cooling hysteria” is a cornerstone of denialist thought on the subject, so it’s worth refuting all the same.

We’re also about to experience an intense cold front. This kind of journalism is trash

That was my point.

“Faster than expected”

I wish I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard a climate scientist say that over the last few months.

You could buy yourself a boat.

Yeah, probably going to need one.

That is insanity

Lake Titicaca is funny, and not just because of the name: your eyes say ocean due to the sheer size, but your nose smells no salt.
