Once upon a time, scientists say, what’s the difference? It’s all based on cult based science which is paid for by government demanding certain outcomes

Longer heatwaves driven by ‘turbo-charged’ climate change, say scientists

Scientists say “turbo-charged” climate change is driving the prolonged period of record temperatures currently baking much of the planet.

As the planet has heated, hotter-than-usual spells have become more intense and now last on average about 24 hours longer than 60 years ago, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Noaa data from the 50 most populous cities in the US shows the heatwave season is 49 days longer now compared with the 1960s.

You mean when the Earth was in a slight cooling period, which flipped back to the expected warming for a Holocene warm period? What’s the big deal? This is what is expected.

Even though in the UK we may feel relief that we have escaped the deadly temperatures of mainland Europe, the effects can still be expected to reach us.

Gareth Redmond-King, the head of the international programme at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, said: “Even as Britain experiences a gloomy and relatively cool July, the extreme heat and droughts, torrential rains and flooding around the world have a direct hit for us too. We import half our food – half of that comes from climate-vulnerable countries. As harvests are hit by climate disasters, supplies are constrained and prices rise.”

Dang, these people really are doomsday cultists. Meanwhile, how about linking Noah’s Ark to ‘climate change?

(ASU News) Jeffrey Cohen, dean of humanities at The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Arizona State University, has always loved researching the topics that intrigue him, from writing on what monsters reveal about the cultures that dream them to the long history of humans using stones as communication devices that cross the ages.

His newest book, “Noah’s Arkive,” came from that same curiosity but also held a powerful meaning.

Co-authored by Cohen and Julian Yates, the book, released in June, examines the legacies of Noah’s Ark and accounts of global warming dating back thousands of years to the present.

Through illustrations from various artists and narratives that span millennia, the book addresses the less familiar stories of the ark, how we think about climate change and “how the story of the ark can frame how we think about environmental catastrophe and refuge, conservation and exclusion, offering hope for a better future by heeding what we know from the past,” the book’s abstract says.

“The book’s goal is to make these powerful and forgotten stories of Noah’s Ark better known,” Cohen said. “When it comes to climate catastrophe and climate justice, we too often resign ourselves to loss — and repeat a narrow version of the Noah tale over and over again. We have better versions of the story.”

Oh, good grief. These cultists really can’t do anything or think anything without dragging their Beliefs in.
