Suicide over climate anxiety

[Frankfooter]

And science hasn't proven shit about global warming. It's not physics, it not even chemistry (and if you study science you will know the hierarchical history). Global warming is a theory based on a manmade mathematical model with multiple variables, most of which are assumptions and the manipulation of but a few variables will yield an entirely different result.

You're still out in space, captain.

oil & gas's people, Exxon hired their own scientists to do their own independent research in the 70's.
They came up with the same science and numbers.

Exxon Knew about Climate Change Almost 40 Years Ago

A new investigation shows the oil company understood the science before it became a public issue and spent millions to promote misinformation

www.scientificamerican.com

oil & gas admitted as much in court.

Oil Companies Admit Climate Change Is Real, Say Don’t Blame Us

In a California lawsuit, fossil fuel companies admit the truth—but deny responsibility.

Now oil & gas is giving faux sympathy to all the kids growing up with a sense of impending doom.

That's not quite true.

There was one day in the Antarctic where is was a freak warm spell. That's not unusual.

And Monday March 28, 2022 was the coldest March 28'th on record for Toronto.

So what.

Fun fact- the models don't work in reverse. When used to predict the past, they are way off.

In 2000 the Canadian Government made 9 doomsday predictions with respect to where our climate would be in 20 years.

Not a single one of them has come true.

Speaking of predictions... https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/18-s...st-earth-day-in-1970-expect-more-this-year-2/

I'm not denying that climate change is having an impact on extreme weather events. But you also have to remember that these events have been happening for centuries. Only now and especially since the invention of the internet/24 Hr. news stations, we get instantaneous reports of everything that's happening around the world. The alarmists now, are quick to blame practically every event on global warming. In the old days, you had to pick up the morning paper and read through to find out what's going on. Even then, many global events rarely received much coverage and certainly weren't covered for days on end.

Hurricane Hazel happened almost 70 years ago. Do you think anyone blamed it on climate change back then? No, it was called a natural disaster. But you can sure as hell bet if it happened now, the doomsday crowd would say "see, there's another example of global warming and climate change. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Hazel

There's a thing called hurricane/tornado season. They happen every year, except now, when there's a moderately bad one, the "experts" consider it undeniable proof of climate change.

My point is, you can't blame every natural disaster on climate change/global warming, but they do!

Edit: Then you have people like Trudeau blaming the wildfires in Western Canada last year on climate change, when many of them were determined to be caused by lightning and arson. But he won't let the truth get in the way of his narrative.

This article is from a few years ago, but it applies to today. https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/whats-behind-western-canadas-forest-fire-outbreak/

It's a shame teens are committing suicide. All the while, the climate alarmists think their message of fear is having nothing but a positive effect on people.

That's a straw man argument.

Climatologists predict increases of extreme weather events but they don't do weather predictions and declare that there is going to be a climate changed hurricane on Friday.
Instead they say increases in global temps mean there will be increases in extreme weather events, like both polls being 50 and 70ºF warmer than normal at once.
Same with Southwestern drought and the increase in the strength of hurricanes, all to be expected.

You put more heat in the system, you get more chaos.
Like wildfires happening in Marc in Colorado, BC flooding and fires last year, fires in Australia....

Oh how I wish that the suicide story was true. Of course, like with anything climate related, it is most likely bullshit. But, one can hope and wish...

And I'm sure in the 4.5 billion years planet earth has been around those things have never happened before. Only in the last 50-75 years right?

Great post and well said.

The climate is an excuse and used as a cry for help from these kids. If the climate was not in the news then they would find another hot topic to blame.

This has nothing to do with the climate. It is a mental health issue.

I think cutting school on Friday to protest could help fight
anxiety for teens feeling suicidal over climate change.

Teens in this video don't look depressed. I guess they have
a cause to fight for and that makes them feeling empowered.
Once they get their driver's licence upon graduating
high school they will live a normal life like millions of
other carbon polluters.

Sure there have been ice ages and thermal maximums before, doesn't mean you'd want to go there by choice.
And changes? Its happened faster, like when an asteroid wiped out all the dinosaurs.
But we don't the planed has warmed up this fast without massive volcanoes or asteroids ever before.

Of course, if you have some evidence otherwise.......

Well seeing how no humans were around to provide proof of course I don't have evidence, and neither do you or the so called "scientists".
These "experts" keep contradicting themselves with what they say. One example is they say the planet was hotter when dino's were walking around than it is now. Another is that they have evidence that palm trees were found in the artic.
People need to use common sense and realize that scientists aren't always right. Many times they are wrong. The fear mongering needs to stop.

You think the Earth had a choice to go there back then? The answer is of course not. And it will be the same answer once we go there again. Not a matter of if, but when. And we don't have any say in it.
