Like Dorothy, Toto, Nessarose, CNN, FOX, and the interweb en masse... I was picked up and swirled around by the last 2 big hurricanes that hit Florida region.
Is this article correct we should not relate this to climate change? Is it scaring (distracting and numbing) the public?
While the debate continues, the overwhelming scientific evidence suggests climate change is a real and pressing issue. The article seems to attempt to be supporting the IPCC which actually says:
Bottom line:
More frequent + Extreme Storms > caused by Warmer water > caused by Green House effect > Caused by industrial process
Debunked??
The news de jour clearly normalizes the crisis to grab eyeballs, making it harder to address the root cause of warming. The article's tone and phrasing flag a potential bias. However, it's crucial to remember that the underlying scientific consensus remains strong, despite the occasional squabble. We knew about the phenomonon since May 1859. It has only gotten worse the more we learn and forecasts tend to be conservative due to the politics involved in scientific publishing and peer review.
Beyond Blame: How We Can Weather the Climate Storm Together
Our collective apathy, driven by economic and social inertia, is a significant barrier to addressing the climate crisis. The consequences of our inaction will be felt by future generations, leading to guilt and regret. It's imperative to prioritize the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants by taking immediate action.
While some may argue that the scientific evidence is insufficient or unconvincing, the overwhelming consensus among climate scientists points towards a real and pressing threat. If we continue to prioritize short-term economic gains and individual wealth over the long-term health of our planet and future generations, we will undoubtedly face severe consequences.
Be informed, inquisitive, and engaged in the political process > select representatives who have the skills to act appropriately to climate change > they might implement policies to avoid the worst and at least mitigate its effects > your future, and the future of generations to come, depends on our ability to act with urgency, decisively and responsibly. Don't be a both a victim.
