Climate Alarmists Are Annoying

Wall Street Journal

Yet according to a World Health Organization report last year, the very “awareness of climate change and extreme weather events and their impacts” may lead to a host of ills, including strained social relationships, anxiety, depression, intimate-partner violence, helplessness, suicidal behavior and alcohol and substance abuse.

  1. I tried looking at the link but it kept choking.

    On topic, I read that in January 2022 the was an underwater volcanic eruption, several times larger than Pinatubo, in the Pacific that instantly vaporized 40 million gallons of water sending it into the atmosphere. That is expected to effect to climate for five years. Water has much more of a “greenhouse” effect than carbon dioxide — and this was a completely natural event.

  2. Definitely. It’s just a little embarrassing when we are both typing it at the same time. I was delayed looking up how to spell Pinatubo.

    Then I type “bear” instead of “beat.”

    Sheesh.

  3. In the past, these snake-oil salesmen would have at best been run out of town….at worst flat out killed. These climate wack-a-doos are a danger to humanity as a whole, and the same can also be said for a lot of the other fringe groups out there (I’m looking at you trans community).

    Unfortunately, we’ve disavowed our lessons from the past and chosen a reality that is unsustainable and quite frankly anti-life. The denial of reality only leads to death. Nuff said.

  4. @RadioMattM — Make that 40 TRILLION gallons, or one million times more than 40 million. It increased the total global atmospheric water content by 13%.

    @joe6pak — Lifson’s article is good, but note that he references the below linked Childers article from last Friday’s Coffee & Covid daily recap. IMO, Childers does the best job of a short but comprehensive recounting of not only the Hunga Tonga eruption of Jan. 15, 2022, but also the recently discovered new oceanic heat sources that imply that it isn’t the atmosphere heating the oceans, it’s the oceans heating the atmosphere.

  5. Uncle Al: I knew it was 40 something Illini and went on the conservative side.

    Childers is where I read it. He is a daily read. He covers a lot of things I don’t see elsewhere. I was considering a paid subscription until I saw the price tag.

    I believe he is correct, as water mist varies greatly and can occupy the lower atmosphere from less than 10% (100,000-ppm) to a little less than 99% (990,000-ppm) humidity, when it rains.

    Less than 10% humidity equates to less than 100,000-ppm (100,000 parts of water mist in 900,000 parts of air).

    A little less than 99% humidity (when it rains) equates to a little less than 990,000 parts of water mist in 10,000 parts of air.

    Average CO2 is approximately a steady average of 0.04% (worldwide), or 400-ppm (400 parts of CO2 in 999,600 parts of air).

    So, to reiterate:

    Water mist varies from 100,000-ppm to 900,000-ppm.
    Carbon Dioxide is approximately a steady 400-ppm, worldwide.

    Pretty sure this is the science regarding this. Otherwise, I stand corrected.
