    No, it is floods.
    From a drought you can "run away", from a flood not so much.

    Ad hominem: you served jail time for "insert your crime", hence your argument must be wrong.

    He talks about a "hots summer" that melts perma frost in siberia in a 10km or 100km wide stripe.

    And yes, that could have a catastrophic effect.

  4. That is not really true.
    If warming can be limited to about 2C or 3C even, there won't be much sea level rise.

    Sea level rise is a danger if we fail to limit AGW ... because then Greenland or Antarctica might contribute several meters to sea level rises, depending on how warm it gets and how long the warms lasts.

  5. Obviously.

    Their natural summer habitate does not exist anymore, so they migrate.

    So ... great ... for the environment.
    So you don't dispose your light bulbs properly but blame the material for environmental hazards?

  6. Yes, it is not science.
    Because it is only a single prediction.

    Perhaps if you had read the linked article, you had realized: it is news!

    What is wrong with posting news based on scientific predictions?

    I don't think he knew that.

    He is just an idiot like that guy I had a conversation with lately. I mentioned I live in Isan (Thailand) and that it had only about 3 - 4 days of rain during the last 5 month.

    He did not believe it and posted a link as answer. "To correct me".
    The link with average rain in "Thailand" ... well, Bangkok.

    In the further conversation he simply did not grasp that BKK is more than 1000km away, that Isan is a high plateau surrounded by mountains and BKK is at the coast ... what an idiot.

    ENSO has no effect in global warming.
    Neither El Nino nor La Nina are warming or cooling phenonema.
    Both effects only shift the areas where it is particular warm and areas where it is particular cold around. That is all.

    The warming trend in that era was likely caused by variations in solar radiation,
    Unlikely.
    Solar activity does not vary enough to have any significant effect on earth.

    3. EU has strict banking regulations, pushed mostly by the Germans...British argued for more relaxed rules. There is no "completely independent" here.
    Only to prevent secret banking and money laundering and tax evasion. But you still have the City of London and all the other tax havens like in the careebean etc. So why do you complain?

    Again: you can do what you want unless you want to contradict an EU law. And as your elected representatives in the EU can influence laws ... what is your stupid problem???

    As soon as a wind plant is build or a solar plant, it produces no CO2 anymore.

    I have NEVER come across anyone in any of these 'discussions' that even really tries to look at the total picture or the long term or even the medium term, you all look at the short term and a microcosm instead.
