Climate Crisis: extreme weather ‘new normal’ say experts

2022 has been the UK's warmest year on record, according to the Met Office.

The year has seen record high temperatures around the world and also record lows like the extreme blizzard which has now claimed scores of lives across the United States and Canada.

And this extreme weather will become the norm, according to the National Trust.

It's already damaging nature, from drought to wildfires, and it's a stark reminder of the devastating impact of climate change on the world’s wildlife.

Extra interesting today. Thank to Sam Deymon for just the news everyday. I learn more in 10-15 minutes with you than hours upon hours of main stream media.

Mr Sam Deymon taught me how to invest in bitcoin, how to trade daily, when to trade and the best asset to trade.

We in Australia were told after years of drought and bushfire that this was the new normal. Almost immediately it began to rain and we have now endured record floods for three years, and we are now being told that THIS is the new normal. Give me a break. If the trend lasts 30 years IPCC will accept it as a trend.

Once the hurricanes started getting later in seasons I sensed something isn’t right… I really fear the future for humanity.

This is cherry-picking weather events. That's not climate. This is climate: Globally the ACE index (accumulated cyclone energy) 1980-2021 shows no increasing trend. Global Hurricane Landfalls 1970-2021 (updated from Weinkle et al, 2012) shows no trend. Satellite data since 1980 shows a slight downward global trend for total hurricaine numbers with 2021 being a record low year. The IPCC reports in AR6, chapter 11, "The total global frequency of TC [tropical cyclone] formation will decrease or remain unchanged with increasing global warming (medium confidence)." Multidecadal variability in Atlantic hurricaines is most probably related to the AMO (Vecchi et al, 2021). NOAA data 1851-2021 shows no trend in number of hurricaine landfalls with the record high being 1886. What the data from NOAA SPC shows about tornados: EF1-EF5 (1954-2022) no trend; EF3-EF5 (most destructive) (1954-2022) 50% decline. No EF5s in US since 2013 (a record absence).
The Global Land Precipitation Anomaly from AR5 will disappoint with deviations from the average increasing by 0.2% per decade, but if you look at the actual data, it's just very variable over the decades.
Drought appears to be decreasing (Watts et al, 2018) measured by SPI 1901-2017.
Deaths from natural disasters are about 0.6% of what they were a century ago.
What else? Oh, deserts like the Sahara have shrunk considerably and the Earth has greened by 15% or more in a human lifetime (NASA).
On extinction the rate is very low: 900 known lost species for 2.1 million known species in 500 years. At that frequency it will take nearly 190, 000 years to reach 15% extinction i.e. a mass extinction.
There is no climate crisis.

People have short memories. There is no climate crisis.

but weather does change over over 20, 000 years not 50 years Karen.

[Guesswhokk]

If Earth behave like a human body, then planet Earth is having a fever and it getting sicker by the year.

[teyhoonboon]

The world never take seriously learn a lesson on climate disasters, many lives lost reported day by day. The world must unite and take action with one goal to overcome climate issue.

Heat in the Summer, Snow in the winter, storms in Autumn, what a surprise !! whatever next !!

[celestialteapot]

the exponential destruction of the climate does not contain periods of respite called normality

Where are those "climate change don't exist" bots now ? I live in Eastern Europe Baltics. Eastern Europe supposed to be chiller than west. And now in 2022 December 31 New year evening we have positive 12 degree celcius.Where are those "climate change don't exist" bots now ? I live in Eastern Europe Baltics.

12 DEGREE IN MIDDLE OF WINTER !!! Never in my life such thing ever happened.

Channel 4 - the gift that keeps on giving open goals - climate crisis aka global WARMING is evidenced by record LOW temperatures. 2+2=5 indeed.

[OldScientist]

Yes please. Climate change saved 555, 103 lives in England and Wales between 2001 and 2020 (ONS, 2022).

I couldn’t watch this because I was crushed under the glaciers of the new ice age 40 years ago and drowned in the rising ocean 20 years ago.🤔🤔🤔
