Bump. It's only Sept. 1

Start with the June/2023 fires in Quebec that had all of Toronto told to stay indoors.

July/2023: For 31 straight days — from the last day of June through Sunday, the second-to-last day of July — Phoenix has hit at least 110 degrees Fahrenheit, not merely breaking its 18-day record in 1974, but setting a significant new one.

I see a very cold summer.

If you think locally, very locally, then this is a cool summer for the centre of my universe, Toronto where for the first few days of September we will see 31C and perhaps 32 C, a first for this summer. But if you can think globally then it would appear that the earth is warming if we average out the temperatures. As I said before in a previous post, the earth‘s climate has always been in a state of flux, from tropical to ice age and back again. However for the first time there is strong evidence that human activity may be a catalyst in global warming.
However I do believe that natural events are much greater “ climate changers” than human activity.

That's just a non-peer reviewed, junk science paper written by a left wing, climate-hystericist, environmental terrorist financed left wing rag:

STORIES BY CHELSEA HARVEY
Chelsea Harvey covers climate science for Climatewire.

Scientific American is 'environmental terrorist left wing rag'?
Oh yeah, I forget that all right wingers are totally anti science and did all their own research.

If you look globally there have been a number of massive climate changes this year.
The North Atlantic 'cold blob' has drastically changed and there are serious worries that we are seeing the start of the AMOC shutdown. If that happens Eastern Canada and the UK will get hit with much lower temperatures while the tropics will go way up.

An AMOC collapse would be a massive, planetary-scale disaster. Some of the consequences: Cooling and increased storminess in northwestern Europe, major additional sea level rise especially along the American Atlantic coast, a southward shift of tropical rainfall belts (causing drought in some regions and flooding in others), reduced ocean carbon dioxide uptake, greatly reduced oxygen supply to the deep ocean, likely ecosystem collapse in the northern Atlantic, and others. Check out the OECD report Climate Tipping Points which is well worth reading, and the maps below. You really want to prevent this from happening.

RealClimate: The AMOC: tipping this century, or not?

RealClimate: A few weeks ago, a study by Copenhagen University researchers Peter and Susanne Ditlevsen concluded that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is likely to pass a tipping point already this century, most probably around mid-century. Given the catastrophic...

That's combining with an El Nino year where even before El Nino has started ocean temperatures globally are up about 0.6ºC. That's a massive amount of new heat in the oceans and we are seeing that with a really weird hurricane season, with storms going from category 1 to 4 in 24 hrs. The North Atlantic is super hot, there are 4 tropical storms that could become hurricanes right now and arctic and antarctic ice melts are all record high.

Globally these are big changes.

Of course that pales with being part of an industry that looks like they are going to kill 1 billion people.

This year we've hit tipping point #1 where forests are now emitting more CO2 into the air than they are storing.
Two years ago the Amazon hit this point.

Amazon rainforest now emitting more CO2 than it absorbs

Cutting emissions more urgent than ever, say scientists, with forest producing more than a billion tonnes of carbon dioxide a year

www.theguardian.com

This was a global issue with 10 heritage forests.

World Heritage forests releasing more carbon than they absorb: UNESCO

Forests in at least 10 World Heritage sites have become net sources of carbon, due to pressure from human activity and climate change, according to a new report released on Thursday, by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

news.un.org

This year Canada joined that party years ago but this year has been particularly bad.

Managed to death: How Canada turned its forests into a carbon bomb

Since 2001, Canada's national forests have emitted more carbon dioxide than they have absorbed.

thebulletin.org

Here's one list

• 1. Shutdown of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation
• 2. West Antarctic ice sheet disintegration
• 3. Amazon rainforest dieback
• 4. West African monsoon shift
• 5. Permafrost and methane hydrates
• 6. Coral reef die-off
• 7. Indian monsoon shift
• 8. Greenland ice sheet disintegration
• 9. Boreal forest shift

Tipping point 6 is quite likely this year as well, with El Nino just starting and record ocean temps already bleaching coral in quite a few places.

Insurance companies rates are determined by statistics based on cold, hard facts. Nobody can deny it, even the deepest head buriers.

An article in today's Star discusses how rates are going up because of an increase in natural disasters.

There's a firewall on this article.

How natural disasters in Canada and around the world are driving up your insurance costs
There’s a catalogue of cascading effects from increasingly common natural disasters that are being seen coast to coast, according to experts, creating more uncertainty in the insurance industry, apprehension among real-estate buyers and delays in construction and the issuance of building permits.

"A decade ago, between 2001 and 2010, the insurance industry was paying out, on average, about $675 million a year,", said Rob De Pruis, national director of consumer and industry relations for the Insurance Bureau of Canada.

"Over this past decade, that number has increased to over $2.3 billion a year on average annually."

The deniers will have to pull their collective heads out of the sand and/or asses to pay their increased premiums. This evidence for them to help understand what the truth is, even as they try to avoid it.

And it's all based on cold, hard, undeniable facts that are based on history. These events have happened.

Does it follow that climate risk would guarantee people be
more driven to reduce their carbon footprint fanatically to
fend off climate catastrophe?

Seems more likely to me climate sheeple and their climate
leaders are more likely to step up oil drilling to keep gas
prices at a reasonable level.

Not necessarily. Individuals are more apt to act emotionally than insurance companies, so it varies.

Insurance companies operate 100% by the numbers. Emotions are a non-factor.

It should be interesting to see how long and how quickly this list gets. Conversely, it could be proof for the deniers.

OK. Here goes.
