The Climate Change Thread

Can globalists communists socialists please come cloud seeding Utah? We’re having one of our driest summers on record and could use the water.
 
I love how the same morons who worship Donald, think tariffs are good, don’t believe in vaccines, think Russia is good and Ukraine is bad, don’t believe in climate change. Derp derp

Really, broadcasting one’s innate stupidity, in this case on climate change, seems pointless by now. But, it’s not like the conspiracists are in the majority. They lack critical thinking, and hate education anyway, but they are fewer in number than they themselves believe. The moron in this instance is on an island…..

Trump’s climate research cuts are unpopular, even with Republican voters » Yale Climate Connections

Recent polling shows that nearly 80% of registered U.S. voters want government agencies to keep researching and sharing global warming data. The administration is dismantling both.

As the Trump administration takes steps to dismantle climate research across NASA, NOAA, the EPA, and other agencies, recent polling shows that this move is deeply unpopular.

In May 2025, registered voters were asked whether they supported or opposed government orders that would halt research on global warming. Voters were also asked if they supported directives that would stop federal agencies from sharing information about global warming with the public.

Overwhelmingly, voters said they oppose efforts to shut down climate science and communication.

This polling is part of ongoing research on Americans’ views of climate changeconducted by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication (the publisher of this website) and the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication.

Americans want federal agencies to continue climate research​

A graph shows that most Americans across the political spectrum oppose policies that would stop climate research at federal agencies

President Donald Trump is seeking to cut or eliminate numerous programs that conduct climate research across multiple federal agencies. Budget proposals for the coming year paint a dire future for NOAA’s climate research programs. NOAA’s Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research would be cut completely, along with scores of collaborative research efforts across the country.

The Global Monitoring Laboratory on Mauna Loa, Hawaii, is among many programs slated to end. This one is of particular significance because it carries out the world’s longest-running direct measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide and provided early evidence that burning fossil fuels is altering the chemistry of our atmosphere.
 
LOL

Oh like the warning system the Biden admin gave them money to develop and republicans in Texas then didn’t use? And I love how he’s being interviewed by his daughter in law on Fox News and no one gives a ****. We’ve become numb to the propaganda. Just imagine the outrage if Obama or Biden had been interviewed on msnbc by a relative. But because it’s Fox News and we have zero standards for republicans anymore, we let them do this **** and no one cares.

Global warming contributed to 1,500 more deaths during Europe's heat wave, study says

The analysis looked at the heat wave that struck Europe last week, causing wildfires, closing schools and affecting infrastructure.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

LONDON — Humanity’s burning of fossil fuels directly led to the deaths of at least 1,500 people in a European heat wave last week, a study published Wednesday said.

While temperatures soared across the United States, Europe was also subjected to its own “heat dome” in late June and early July. England and Spain recorded their hottest June on record, schools closed across France and wildfires raged in Sardinia.

Around 2,300 people died across 12 European cities, including London, Paris, Barcelona and Rome, according to the study by Imperial College London and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

Of these, around two-thirds — or 1,500 deaths — can be attributed to global warming, 88% of whom were over age 65, the study said.

The scientists took the estimated deaths for last week’s heat wave and compared them with the expected deaths in a computer-simulated heat wave based on a world without human-made global warming. While it is not a peer-reviewed study, it uses peer-reviewed methods to reach its conclusions.

“Heat waves don’t leave a trail of destruction like wildfires or storms,” Gary Konstantinoudis, a biostatistician at Imperial College and co-author of the study, said in a video message accompanying the research. “This is why heat waves are known as silent killers: Most heat wave deaths happen in homes and hospitals, out of public view and are rarely reported.”

He said the casualties reviewed in this study were likely an underestimate and “only a snapshot of climate change driven temperatures” throughout Europe.

And, from the study:

Summary​

Human-caused climate change intensified the recent European heatwave and increased the number of heat deaths by about 1,500 in 12 European cities.

Focusing on ten days of heat from June 23 to July 2, the researchers estimated the death toll using peer-reviewed methods and found climate change nearly tripled the number of heat-related deaths, with fossil fuel use having increased heatwave temperatures up to 4°C across the cities.

They warn that heatwave temperatures will keep rising and future death tolls are likely to be higher, until the world largely stops burning oil, gas and coal and reaches net zero emissions.

It is the first rapid study to estimate the number of deaths linked to climate change for a heatwave and was led by scientists at Imperial College London and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

Key points​

  • About 1,500 of the 2,300 estimated heat deaths, or 65%, are a result of climate change increasing the heat by 1-4°C, meaning the death toll was tripled due to the burning of fossil fuels.
  • Climate change was behind 317 of the estimated excess heat deaths in Milan, 286 in Barcelona, 235 in Paris, 171 in London, 164 in Rome, 108 in Madrid, 96 in Athens, 47 in Budapest, 31 in Zagreb, 21 in Frankfurt, 21 in Lisbon and 6 in Sassari (a full breakdown of the results is given in the notes).
  • This means the likely death toll of the climate change-driven heat in many European cities was higher than other recent disasters including the 2024 Valencia floods (224 deaths) and the 2021 floods in northwest Europe (243 deaths)
  • People aged 65 and over made up 88% of the deaths, highlighting how those with underlying health conditions are most at risk of premature death in heatwaves.
