I was browsing youtube and a suggestion came up for a video about land that will flood by 2100. I first thought to click on it for a few laughs, but decided I'd rather not encourage more, similar, content. Screw them.

What I do is I have several Youtube accounts that I switch between so I'll log in to a certain account to watch let's say a global warming video but log into a different account to watch fitness related videos. I also delete a lot of stuff from my Youtube history as this seems to help with the kind of videos I get recommended. My Big Bruv account on youtube is recommended mostly fitness related stuff with just a few other subjects. If somebody here posts a yoga video I might watch it with the Big Bruv account and then I'll probably delete it from my youtube history because I found that if I left yoga videos in my history I would be recommended vegetarian videos and I don't want that stuff cluttering up my screen. Also I tell youtube that I'm not interested in some of the recommendations and over time it gets more tailored to what you what to see, m8.

I'm not interested in predictions because they often end up with statements such as "more than expected" or "very surprising". I believe what I see and that is the South Island NZ glaciers receding inland, and accounts from people some of whom have lived near there 60 years etc.
Also, I cannot believe that thousands of flights every day over the world doesn't affect the atmosphere, especially at the heights the aircraft normally fly at. Day after day, year after year. Those flights were not there 70 years ago in such great numbers and the turbulence caused by large aircraft stirring up exhaust gases and unburnt A1 jet fuel droplets simply has to have some pollution affect.
Insane cutting down of the Amazon rain forest, encouraged by Brazil's idiot Bolsonaro must also have some effect on oxygen supply, and large fires in America, Europe and Siberia eat up more oxygen, without even getting into the scientific stats.
Scientists warned about Oz years ago and then Morrison shot through on holiday when the fires started and look what happened. Whole towns flattened. Sure we've had Oz fires in other years that dropped ash on NZ over a thousand miles away, but those recent fires were tremendous and it was obvious they were worse than ever before.
North California is still on fire with towns up there smoking ruins. Low Pacific islands have the sea lapping away at the trunks of trees. Greenland is losing inland ice.

At least for now, the Southern Left Coast of California has had spring-like weather all summer . Any predictions of this continuing is a sucker bet .

Here in Arizona, we believe a plausible explanation for this outlier weather is excessive flatulence at the never-ending colonies of homeless (translation: bum and hobo) encampments dotting the California left coast cities and beaches, much to the blessings and delight of Dumbocrat elected officials.

Dr Don Easterbrook addresses this misunderstanding via localized perceptions. As climate changes over the approx 30 year cycle, plus the longer cycles of, for example, glaciers advancing and receding, apparent rise of water level in one place and lowering of water level in another, it's just normal climate fluctuations. In some places, the water level is dropping, exposing more land, so it's not as it might appear at any one geographical spot on the globe. It observably doesn't behave like that on record according to Dr Easterbrook who wrote " Evidence Based Climate Science".

Eco warrior Prince Harry recently played polo in Colorado and flew back to his home in California on his m8s private jet. This is the same guy that jetted around the old British Empire with his wife the other year telling us all that we needed to reduce our carbon footprint. Not to mention the flights to and from Canada and the the UK he has made more recently. Prince Harry has set the standard and so I've decided that as long as my carbon footprint is lower than his then I must be doing really well.

Science : important or impotent?
I say it's important but it ain't always gospel .

As climate changes over the approx 30 year cycle, plus the longer cycles of, for example, glaciers advancing and receding, apparent rise of water level in one place and lowering of water level in another, it's just normal climate fluctuations. In some places, the water level is dropping, exposing more land, so it's not as it might appear at any one geographical spot on the globe. It observably doesn't behave like that on record according to Dr Easterbrook who wrote " Evidence Based Climate Science". Localized perceptions are important e.g. sea levels are measured locally using a point on the land as reference. ""Local sea level" refers to the height of the water measured along the coast relative to a specific point on land. Tide stations measure local sea level. "Relative sea level trends" reflect changes in local sea level over time. This relative change is the one most critical for many coastal applications, including coastal mapping, marine boundary delineation, coastal zone management, coastal engineering, sustainable habitat restoration design, and the general public enjoying their favorite beach." oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/globalsl.htmlLocal sea level changes can be from subsidence, or erosion for example. Global sea levels on the other hand have been steadily rising (some 2 and a half inches from 1993 to 2014). Regarding either one or the other, houses in Wellington (my home town) that have stood for decades and withstood savage southern storms are now seriously challenged by sea-wall incursion and insurance companies are at this point deciding whether to keep on insuring them or not. Various other places such as southern Hawke Bay near Napier where I lived for 5+ years in the fifties are fighting a losing battle with the sea. Beaches have been fortified for decades trying to keep the worst of storm surges etc from the houses lining the beaches, something that back in the 50's was not a problem. Whatever scientific cycle is in progress, it is quite apparent here in NZ that along with several districts dotted around the coasts, people who've lived nearby the glaciers (and repeat visitors who can easily see the differences since the last time they visited) have watched the glaciers receding, some for over two "30 year cycles". The Franz Josef receded 1 km in ten years. Scientists are continuing to argue about climate change, and most notably the reasons behind it, so it's a matter of who you believe, at the last. For instance, your link that includes "Have increases in CO2 contributed to the recent large upswing in Atlantic basin major hurricanes ?" is not what I would call a thorough investigation re CO2 because increases in CO2 have been happening at least since the Industrial Revolution, the increase in global population (nearly 8-fold since 1804) and the subsequent CO2 emitters such as cars and planes. Coal burning for several reasons. Climate change is definitely going on, whether it is man-made, and/or whether it is temporary or not. For the lifetime of a human, climate change is permanent for all intents and purposes when he watches his house fall into the sea washing up over the shore. In Earth time, it may be temporary, which doesn't help coastal cities like New York that are facing problems.
