    What cause? Void argument fallacy. Define 'climate change'.

    No such thing. There is also no such thing as a global climate. There is desert climate, marine climate, arctic climate, mountain climate, but no global climate. Climate is not quantifiable. It does not change. A desert climate is always a desert climate, even if deserts move over time.

    There is no significant carbon in the atmosphere. It's heavier than air, and washes out with the rain. Are you sure you aren't talking about carbon dioxide?

    We don't need to reduce carbon dioxide. Plants are starving for it as is. It has absolutely no capability to warm the Earth.

    “We have seen winter warming events before, but they’re becoming more frequent and more intense,” said Alek Petty, a sea ice researcher at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

    Good thing I live in Alaska. I see them ice fishing from November thru March. and that's in Anchorage where it's not nearly as cold as Fairbanks.
    It'd be scary to think what life would be like if I didn't see the few hardy souls that do ice fish until as late as February.

    I believe you have made the shortest prediction of the end of the Earth by 'climate change' (whatever THAT is!). 12 minutes, eh? Hope you've made peace with your gods. I hear Gaia is very angry with you. You failed her.

    I think maybe you should start by learning basic chemistry. Carbon is not carbon dioxide. Carbon is a fuel. Carbon dioxide is not.

    Best
    Ya know, if they build boats, and all that ice melts? Well, they'd never have to "ice" fish again! It would save a whole step, they wouldn't have to cut a hole in the ice or anything!

    What has happened with hurricanes in recent years?


    It’s been a punishing past few years for people living in the path of hurricanes in the US and Caribbean. Last year there were an above-average 15 named storms, including Hurricane Florence, which brewed off the west African coast before barrelling into North Carolina, plunging much of the state into darkness and dumping up to 76cm (30 inches) of rain in places, resulting in flooding that killed dozens of people.

    This was followed by Hurricane Michael, the first storm to make landfall in the US as a category five event since 1992. The 160mph storm obliterated the town of Mexico Beach in Florida, caused more than 70 deaths and racked up an estimated $25bn (£19bn) in damage.

    These disasters came in the wake of the 2017 hurricane season, which caused a record $282bn in damage. Hurricane Harvey unloaded 33tn gallons of water on Texas, the astonishingly strong Hurricane Irma, which reached a top speed of 177mph, ravaged Florida and several thousand people died in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, another category five storm, tore across the island.

    While the overall number of hurricanes has remained roughly the same in recent decades, there is evidence they are intensifying more quickly, resulting in a greater number of the most severe category four and five storms.

    The proportion of tropical storms that rapidly strengthen into powerful hurricanes has tripled over the past 30 years, according to recent research. A swift increase in pace over a 24-hour period makes hurricanes less predictable, despite improving hurricane forecasting systems, and more likely to cause widespread damage.

    Can any Al Gorians explain how people got underneath a glacier 75 years ago ... when the Earth was covered in glacial sheets?
    That is easy. Fell in crevice, crevice subsequently sealed up over them. Many other explanations. They were found together, so without more details, hard to say for sure.

    Such drastic changes to ice conditions can have deadly consequences. Kúko, who works as a teacher in Tasiilaq, said four people have drowned from falling through thin ice in the past 15 years — an unusually high number for a town of experienced hunters who grew up using dog sleds, not snowmobiles, and harpoons, not shotguns, to nab their prey.
    “It is much more dangerous to go on the ice now,” she said. “It’s unpredictable and more thin, so you can easily go through the ice and drown. Hunters used to know exactly how the ice would be.”

    Well, it must have been warmer 75 years ago for them to fall in a crevice back then.
