"Want a sober reminder of where we are in addressing the climate crisis....???? Over the last 50 years, the oil & gas industry has made $3 billion in profits every day......$52 trillion in pure profit. It's a capitalist disease that has been on a mission to wipe out our planet.

Global average temps have been fairly stable over the past 10K years, with some regional cool and warm periods. But in the past several decades temps spiked (red on right) at a rate >10X the natural rate of anything we’ve seen in millions of years. 3/
@brent_glaser And even before that this study led by Ben Santer reuters.com/article/idUSKC…
@brent_glaser That’s changed in 2021 in a NASA study: cbsnews.com/amp/news/clima…
@NeuterTheDebt The models have been stellar in their predictions. The model mean since 1970 is in the black and the actual temps are in the red. It is uncanny how well models have done, including Exxon's models in the 70s and 80s.
In today's Berardelli Bonus we take a viewer question. How do we know human-caused climate change is real? And isn't climate cyclical? Both are true. The difference is that recent warming is >10X the rate of any natural warming Earth has seen in millions of years.
Here’s the problem. 99% of climate scientists agree the climate is warming and humans, mainly due to the burning of fossil fuels, are the cause. BUT in the US, only 55% of people know that virtually all experts agree. Called the consensus gap, fueled by deliberate disinformation.

In my Climate Classroom today: “Offshore wind development is killing whales. Wind turbines cause cancer. Electric vehicles are worse for climate change than gas cars. These are all common and somewhat shocking claims – but none of these are true.” wfla.com/weather/climat…
What Western "Free Palestine" supporters always tell us to do? "Just give Palestinians their freedom!" Which means to ethnically cleanse Jews from the area. In 2005, we did exactly that. Israelis left Gaza. We ethnically cleansed ourselves from there. 9000 Jews were displaced,…
I stand with @mark_lynas, who writes: Activists against Golden Rice are ignoring decades of scientific peer-reviewed research which shows conclusively that genetically-engineered crops and foods are safe. Still, they continue to spread myths and misinformation, claiming that GM…

Greenpeace and its allies just won a court case in the Philippines blocking Golden Rice from reaching millions of vitamin A-deficient young children. If this isn't a crime against humanity, I don't know what is. Avoidable deaths could total 100,000s. More: spectator.co.uk/article/childr…
