Nonsense. The IPCC doesn't conduct research directly and the analyses and opinions of scientists who disagree get reflected in the literature. If it strikes you as being as echo chamber it's because with each 5 year review, the science has come down more strongly on AGW each time.
"There is Global Warming for sure" - it wasn't so long ago that the deniers were claiming we were in a cooling period, in front of Congress no less and you can still find some who think die Kalte Sonne's output will drop well below historic lows in a few years and we'll all freeze to death.
By far the most comprehensive re-examination of all the data by real scientists was done by the Berkeley Earth project Have a look: berkeleyearth.org
The deniers were all on board with their approach and were playing it up for a couple years that the lies, distortions & manipulations of the Evil Commie Gore-suckers would be laid bare.............oops.
Check out the Berkeley Earth project. An accomplished scientist assembled a team of others with impressive credentials and did the hard work of examining all the raw data.
Quite a few places that are doing well or are advanced have decreasing or stagnant per-capita electricity consumption. For example, California's has been nearly flat since 1978 while that of the USA as a whole has increased by nearly 50% since.
"Climate change deniers are the new tobacco industry cancer link" - as Naomi Oreskes showed, some of them are the very SAME people, who've made denial a lucrative career and been at it since Al Gore was a schoolboy.
Agreed. Here's what someone who knows a thing or two about climate and a whole lot more about statistics had to say about the "hiatus/no warming" almost 2 years ago
More heat in the climate system or more warm tropical water are only a couple of several key factors in the formation of cyclones. Another is the absence of wind shear. If one of the outcomes of a warming world in greater wind shear where hurricanes & cyclones form, then the trend will be towards fewer really large storms.
Have a look at the number of adjustments required for the UAH satellites - Christy & Spenser have a scrawny leg to stand on when they talk about other people's adjustments. And when I want to know the temperature, why would I rely solely on a device that does NOT measure temps directly but has to extrapolate?
The conviction rate in the USofA is from 60-9+% depending on the jurisdiction which means a lot of asses are sent to prison despite the "vigorous defence" of presumably licensed members of the bar.
There's no need to cover all or even much of it. The Sahara is 3000 miles x 1200 miles, larger than the contiguous USofA. 1% coverage would provide more than enough electricity to meet Europe's need for the foreseeable future.
" the Sahara is not in the middle east and thousands of miles away from Saudi Arabia" Wrong. The Sahara extends to the Red Sea and the Arabian Peninsula could be considered an extension of that vast desert. If you don't, then Saudi Arabia is, at most, the width of the Red Sea away which is a max of 220 miles.
I don't know where people are finding these shite theaters to bitch about. I've not been in any like that in 15 years and I go to most of the blockbusters.

I won't spoil the surprise by revealing their conclusions. Go see for yourself :-)

What "retribution" would that be?

Then Japan should be one of the most violent major economies in the world - but it isn't, not even close may well be the least.

See below for NOAA's time series / histogram chart for the list of years in their record, going back to 1880. There are separate tabs for US & Global

You can sort the table by year, temp anomaly or rank.

How many caveman lifetimes did it take for that massive campfire melt event?

And many are already willing to pay extra for the Girlfriend Experience.
Should be 60-90+% conviction rate.

Poor people suffer a lot more from pollution than rich. Disallow cheats from writing off their fines.
Better off with a gas-electric hybrid. Electric motor has even more low-end torque than diesel.
I was going with harakirium but I like your suggestion more.
You do realize just how large the Sahara is and what a small percentage of it would have to be covered to meet all of Europe's needs?
All of the places where we live were once wild and things LIVED here too.
There's no need to cover all or even much of it. The Sahara is 3000 miles x 1200 miles, larger than the contiguous USofA.

Something about Rey's look made me think of Qui-Gon Jinn
