The scientists attribution of anything and everything to climate change based on models specifically tweaked to give them the results they want - and the complete failure of such assertions in another climate-change-related context - is 100% a salient point regarding the believability of these new claims.
And yes, at the same time it's 100% troll because
... Are these the same scientists asserting that global warming will drive more frequent and more severe weather such as hurricanes?
(He said ironically, at the peak of the 2025 hurricane when there isn't any activity in the Atlantic at all.)
Lol
"I'm a leftist bot" much?
That's the point.
There are 12 roundabouts in my MN town of 12000.
Exposed to sea level rise? OHMYGOSH! CLIMATE CHANGE!
Actually, no. https://www.wsoctv.com/news/lo...
"...Charleston is one of the fastest sinking cities in the country, with an average rate of around 4 millimeters a year or an inch every six to seven years...."
That's a subsidence of 15" a century, compared to PERHAPS a foot of sea level rise in that span.
Yet....somehow this only gets faintly mentioned then discarded mid article. It's all about sea level rise. The Guardian: "...Driven largely by sea level rise,..." and "...The sea level in Charleston rose about 13in over the past century.." (which is an ABSOLUTE LIE - the city subsided).
You wonder why people don't believe the bullshit sky-is-falling narratives about climate change, maybe stop lying on easily-checked data and we'll start to take you seriously?
...forever that "you may not see blue the way I see blue" in solipsistic ways nobody can ever prove.
This is an interesting test, but confirms that - despite the persistent meme - the logical likelihood (we see colors in basically the same ways) would be strongly selected for in evolution.
"You can eat the blue berries, don't eat the red ones"
So your assertion based on
a) recognizing that Twitter had turned into a leftist echo chamber
b) noting that they had the ability to at whim silence the main opposition candidate
c) suspecting - later proved conclusively - that they were directly serving the mandate of the highly-politicized whims of the government in power in ways that would have made Pravda & the KGB jealous
It's impossible to believe he was genuinely offended by the hypocrisy of people who shrilly insisted on unbounded freedom of speech simultaneously openly censoring others & decided to spend some big $ to fix it?
So, in your deep insight, when did Elon get 'turned' & why?
He was the quirky darling of the left with his tech, his electric cars, his climate change advocacy...*poof* he's now an alt-right Shylock hovering at Hitler/Trump's elbow.
How'd that happen?
You know that de Tocqueville commented on Americans' notable disregard for expertise in 1830?
This isn't new.
The US spends around 25% more per student than Denmark, nearly double Japan, yet their educational systems seem to deliver better results?
I wouldn't disagree with you. I think Elon came in under the mantra of free speech but quickly decided he was going to put his own thumb on the scales. Sure, it probably had a lot to do with the CEASELESS attacks he was getting from the Left for fucking up one of their echo chambers but that's not an excuse in my book.
Nate Silver (another quasi-cancelled leftist but who himself never lost Faith) has a great recent essay on Bluskyism. His focus is the left, but it ABSOLUTELY applies to rightwingers that want the same thing.
Oh, maybe there was a brief span of authenticity in the early years where people were just posting pics of the grandchildren or whatnot (pro tip: it's still a really bad idea to post pics of kids on the internet).
Ultimately, this is a good thing: just like when old mainstream media decided to throw away the faux-objectivity* and openly declare their politics, maybe the infusion of AI slop into social media will likewise grossly devalue the medium to the nothingness it deserves.
*(it never was; it might have been slight more centrist, but journalism has always been liberal-if-not-leftist)
Ah, now we're afraid slightly warmer waters will somehow kill a specific kind of phytoplankton?
When the majority of the planet's history - specifically, the time when most of these organisms evolved - was substantially warmer than today?
Sure.
Do try to keep up, will you?

"Trump touted the polio vaccine, calling it "amazing," and added that "a lot of people that the COVID (vaccine) is amazing."
"I think you have to be very careful when you say that some people don't have to be vaccinated. It's a very, you know, it's a very tough position," Trump said.
He added: "Look, you have vaccines that work. They just pure and simple work. They're not controversial at all. And I think those vaccines should be used, otherwise some people are going to catch it and they endanger other people. And when you don't have controversy at all, I think people should take it."
Like pretty much everything, the left tries to oversimplify to build a "gotcha" on Trump.
Vaccines are one of the true wonders of the modern world. Nobody is trying to block polio vaccines, MMR vaccines etc (well except the anti vaccine Left-Coast white women who were shrill anti vaxxers long before COVID). HPV is another great modern vaccine.
There are other vaccines like mRNA that need more testing, and others (hep b) that have been added to the children's standard battery FOR NO REASON and deserve scrutiny.
Unlike Bernie Sanders, not everyone is dedicated to protecting big pharma.
Everything.
