Climate Change -- conspiracy theory or is it time we all drive a Prius?

I saw this.

It's hard to argue against actual evidence. Even if "hottest ever" only goes back 10 years with some of these reporting spots [the Yukon
?] the data was expected to show lower temps with the oncoming La Niña , and didn't .

I have to tell you, though, that "hottest January ever" is a hard sell on the East Coast here, and for sure where I live

from USA Today

Awful lot of red on that map. Not a hard sell at all.

Time to hide in the basement Chicken Little, the sky is falling. There's a good lad..

Don't worry about Climate Change. I expect Trump to simply remove anyone that's not delivering the party line. Every Trumpie kissing his ass as fast as possible,

"hottest January ever" is not the way scientists talk. It's the way journalists and activists talk.

In Alaska and the Yukon and in Siberia, etc, the people there would find it an odd way to talk as well. Perhaps in Irkutsk people would say they didn't seem to get as many -50F days as usual

Instead of the Hockey Stick, Trump will introduce the Hockey Puck. Anyone who calls everything "just weather" can qualify as the Chief Hockey Puck. No other background required.

You want to place a bet on that?

It would be interesting to find that the NOAA people start finding data that supports non-panicking now that Trump is prez

The goal of the New NOAA. e.g. such as Trump's sharpiegate map.

Living with cats is a privilege and I don't go anywhere because our present society is making it easy to stay home. Where's there to go if I don't need to go there. It's February in Michigan. All my groceries are delivered by Walmart or Amazon. My prescription drugs are delivered. If I need anything for working around my old house I just get it the next day from Amazon. Why should I leave the house when there's nothing to leave the house for. I don't have excuses to never leave the house, what I don't have is reasons to go anywhere. I went away twice for the entire month of January and one of them was to get gas because it was below $3 a gallon. That was a two mile drive and back. The other was to take a bunch of stuff back to the UPS Store that I'm returning to Amazon. If there was a reason for me to go anywhere I would go but there isn't.

My wife went away from where she lives to a family reunion Christmas party in January that was full of little kids and she got a bad case of covid and it's almost a month later and she's still sick. Yet another reason not to go anywhere. I warned her, I said little kids are all typhoid Mary's, they carry every disease known to man. Now both her and her sister are still sick a month later
