Climate change: Impacts 'accelerating' as leaders gather for UN talks

Massive typhoon hits Japan.

"Authorities issued evacuation advisories and orders for more than six million people across the country as the storm unleashed the heaviest rain and winds in years. Some 80 injuries have been reported so far, while more than 270,000 households lost power, NHK said.

The storm, which the government said could be the strongest to hit Tokyo since 1958, brought record-breaking rainfall in many areas, including the popular resort town of Hakone, which was hit with 939.5 mm of rain over 24 hours. Hagibis, which means “speed” in the Philippine language Tagalog, made landfall on Japan’s main island of Honshu on Saturday evening. A magnitude 5.7 earthquake shook Tokyo shortly after."

While asset managers and other investors are acknowledging the huge cost of climate change.

"The world’s biggest fossil fuel companies must take action on climate change or their directors could face being voted out of their jobs, the head of one of the world’s leading asset managers has warned.

In an exclusive interview with the Guardian, Ron O’Hanley, the chief executive of State Street, said his firm could consider taking the radical step of voting against the reappointment of entire company boards if they were not taking sufficient action to deal with the climate crisis."

Your point?

Since 1958...

There were likely other strong ones before 1958 as well...

And... Using The Guardian as a sourced...

LOL...

I did look at it. Typical denier rhetoric, that goes against every mainstream scientific organization on the planet. If your scientists aren't on the Heartland Institute payroll, they are hoping to get on it.

I'm not the denier here.

You don't even consider the reality of what grant money is offered to pay for.

You are the denier. Not I.

And all the guys who promote evolutionary biology got grants to prove evolutionary biology.

All the guys studying infectious disease only get grants to study bacterial and viral causes of infectious disease.

All the guys who study organic chemistry are given grants only if they agree to base organic chem research on the belief that carbon is a primary constituent of organic molecules.

Take it to CT, dude.

It’s getting embarassing for you.
 
[h=2]New Paper: Volcanism Can Cool Earth For Centuries, Lead To More Natural Disasters, Pandemics, Economic Recession[/h]By Kenneth Richard on 14. October 2019
[h=4]Scientists (Bragato and Holzhauser, 2019) find natural catastrophes like tornadoes and earthquakes and pandemics like plague, cholera, and influenza “concentrate in the periods of ice expansion in Europe” whereas periods of economic expansion and a lower incidence of natural catastrophes and pandemics occur during deglaciation phases, or warm periods. Century-scale cooling can be elicited by volcanism.[/h]

[h=6]Image Source: Bragato and Holzhauser, 2019[/h]The conclusion that volcanism can trigger centuries of global-scale cooling – and that the Little Ice Age cooling was forced by explosive volcanism – has also been postulated by McGregor et al., 2015.
