"Earth just had its 400th straight warmer-than-average month thanks to global warming

"It was December 1984, and President Reagan had just been elected to his second term, Dynasty was the top show on TV and Madonna's Like a Virgin topped the musical charts."

"It was also the last time the Earth had a cooler-than-average month."

"Last month marked the planet's 400th consecutive month with above-average temperatures, federal scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Thursday."

"The cause for the streak? Unquestionably, it’s climate change, caused by humanity's burning of fossil fuels."

Imagine that, "caused by humanity's burning of fossil fuels," and I thought it all was a Chinese hoax, well, that is what our President has told us and we all know he don't lie

You could begin by simply recognizing that the climate is changing and that we are responsible, kinda difficult getting those in postilions to actually do something to act when a segment of the society keeps ignoring and fighting the obvious

I don't want to exchange with you because you "are not a worthy adversary," waste of my time

In other words, you can't refute the information so you run like the typical left wing pussy. Got it.

Looks like he was a worthy adversary after all.

I had to laugh.. The people like Trump who deny global warming now claim the rise of the oceans is caused by rocks falling in the sea.

Stick to being a shill for the Saudis, climate science is not for you.

Study: Experts Trash Alarmist Claims About Sea Level Rise


Experts trash alarmist claims about sea level rise declaring: “The models have got it wrong and those who rely on the models have got it wrong.”

Paper Reviewed: Duvat, V.K.E., Salvar, B. and Salmon, C. 2017. Drivers of shoreline change in atoll reef islands of the Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia. Global and Planetary Change 158: 134-154.

Writing as background for their study, Duvat et al. (2017) state that “it has commonly been considered that atoll reef islands would disappear under climate change, as a result of sea-level rise and induced accelerating shoreline erosion,” citing the works of Connell (2003), Dickinson (2009) and McAdam (2010).

This perception is based on model predictions, which have been hyped all over the globe, especially among politicians and the media, some of whom demand reparations for small island States who they fear will be forced to abandon their islands within decades.

But how much faith should one place in such projections and concerns?

According to Duvat et al., not that much; for as they write in the Introduction to their paper, “recent studies assessing shoreline change over the past decades to century have [now] proved atoll reef island persistence in the face of contemporary sea-level rise, therefore challenging the aforementioned generally accepted idea [of reef island demise due to climate change], citing the works of Webb and Kench (2010), Rankey (2011), Ford (2012; 2013), Biribo and Woodroffe (2013), Ford and Kench (2015), Kench et al. (2015), Testut et al. (2016) and Duvat and Pillet (2017).

And thanks to their newest work, the team of three French scientists increases the worldwide sample of atoll reef islands demonstrating this fact (from a shoreline change perspective) by a whopping 30%!

In achieving this important feat, Duvat et al. examined multiple aerial photographs and satellite images of 111 atoll reef islands from the Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia to evaluate their persistence from a shoreline change perspective over the past half-century.

The end result of that examination is presented in the figure below.

As noted by the researchers, their findings bring “new irrefutable evidence on the persistence of reef islands over the last decades.”

Over the past three to five decades, the total net land area of the studied atolls “was found to be stable, with 77% of the sample islands maintaining their area, while 15% expanded and 8% contracted.”

Furthermore, they note that 7 out of the 8 islands that decreased in area were very small in area (less than 3 hectares), whereas “all of the 16 islands larger than 50 hectares were stable in area.”

Clearly, as summarily concluded by Duvat et al., atoll reef islands “are robust landforms.” They are not collectively in danger of drowning in the depths of the sea due to climate change.

The models have got it wrong and those who rely on the models have got it wrong. Nature is much more resilient than the alarmists make it out to be.

The Republican may be the same guy that thought Guam might tip over.
