Climate scientists say natural "anaesthetics" have been masking the true impact of climate change for years but have now worn off. Here's why the world's ocean temperatures are at record highs and what they could bring.
Am I being crazy thinking that if Australia was reamed by extreme weather this summer it would be better than not, as all the climate change deniers will use non-extreme weather as a ‘see the climate isn’t warming’ argument. At least if this summer was fucked up, they would then have a more difficult time arguing climate change doesn’t exist, which could be good timing as extreme weather is still dependant on local and global climate patterns, so there will be a return to less extremes once La Nina returns.
At the same time, more extreme weather is the last thing I want people to have to experience, especially as those who suffer the most from the extreme weather will probably be those least likely to deny climate change.
In summary, I think I’m being a little crazy sitting here hoping shit burns to the ground to prove a point.
