|One lesson climate change teaches us again and again is that bad things can happen ahead of schedule. Model predictions for climate impacts have tended to be optimistically biased. But now, unfortunately, the heating is accelerating, outpacing scientists’ expectations.
Our future on this rock is looking pretty bleak.
Does science back up the idea that California forest fires are caused by climate change? I read these sources: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-global-temperature
https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/wildfires-climate-change
One claims that the increase of forest fires in California started in 1950. The other claims that the world becomes 0.06 degrees celcius hotter per decade. 0.06 times 7.5 is only 0,45 degrees celcius hotter. Does it make sense that less than half a degree hotter average temperature makes California a blazing inferno seemingly every year?
Millions of people left California, you don’t have to be a scientist for that.
just fyi for the folks reading,
It isn’t just that the average temperature increased by 1.5 degrees. It’s how large scale weather patterns shift, which means how rainfall patterns move. How ocean cycles change.
But getting back to temperature, one degree warmer on the entire planet is an insanely huge amount of energy.
*to raise the temperature of the planet one degree Celsius requires about 5 exaJoules (5 with 18 zeros after it) of energy.*
That’s a hell of a lot of extra energy in the atmosphere.
You obviously do not understand what the Governor did not do. Based on Many recommendations he did not equip the areas above the developments water towers. Because environmental wackos, found a bug with 3 buttholes that needed protection.
