Thirty Years On, How Well Do Global Warming Predictions Stand Up?

[Pio1980]

In our last convo, my conspiracy addicted friend attributed the recent Pacific Ocean phenomena and it's consequences to nefarious intentional weather management, HARP, ect
I didn't entertain it.

Even thou know full well humans will if able try and intentionally manipulate the weather. So far we are doing a good job unintentionally....

I have heard those theories of Russia's efforts and our own HARP also. Never doubt what a military mind is capable of thinking will be winnable or survivable.

""Freddy May Break Tropical Cyclone Record: UN""

https://www.barrons.com/news/freddy-...rd-un-cafe16e6



""Freddy has been a named tropical cyclone for 33 days since developing off the north Australian coast and becoming a named storm on February 6.""


Thirty three days and counting!

This storm should be a wake up call of storms to come. Imagine one hitting for just half that in the US? The damages to the country. Bigger longer storms will be the norm all to soon.

Climate Change Is Destabilizing Insurance Industry
Insurers face a “crisis of confidence” as global warming makes weather events unpredictable and increases damage
https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...ance-industry/

Should be pretty obvious to anyone able to actually reason that the article in the OP is industry-sponsored rubbish.

This is from the president of AON, a huge insurance agency (which I once did an IT project for, FWIW), not some "liberal media" source.

AON is not an insurance agency. It is an insurance brokerage. As such, AON does not manage reserves or pay claims. It is in the business of consulting with businesses to insure that they've properly evaluated risks to the business and connect them with insurance carriers to insure those risks.

Anderson's company profits by charging fees for consulting and collecting brokerage commissions on the insurance products it represents. Anderson has made a business decision that his company can profit by exploiting the public's fears about climate change.

So, of course, this is his stated position because it keeps his business well-positioned to exploit this perceived risk.

I don't respond to many of your micro-rants in this thread. This one, however, jumped out at me because of your...um...interesting take on positioning Anderson as some king of climate seer. He's not, but like a good capitalist, he knows how to recognize and exploit an opportunity when he sees it.

Oh, and this one for you, Chicklet. We'll call this "Chick's World." It's an article about the Willow Project and those who are attempting to block it. The article includes a picture of some of "your people" protesting. I'm sure the protesters are perfectly clueless that the "drums" they're beating on are made using the very fossil fuels they're protesting. LOL!!

So, another long-winded diatribe, basically saying that capitalism is “bad”. And you wonder why no one “respects” your “debate” here. You’re a riot.

Specifically where in the above post did I say or imply that "capitalism is bad". Maybe in Chick's world, calling someone a good capitalist is intended as an insult. In my world, it's not an insult at all.

My point (and I'll type slowly so you can follow this, 'cuz I know you struggle with comprehension) is:

1) Anderson is not a climate expert.
2) Anderson is a shrewd businessman who can recognize the opportunity created by concern over climate change and has positioned AON as a solution for businesses to manage associated risks.

Is it clearer to you now, or do I need to write this out using Crayolas and single-syllable words? And, if you don't “respect” my “debate” here:
1) I don't really care, and;
2) maybe it's because you're spending less time comprehending it and more time trying to spin it into something I didn't actually say.

I do find it funny that you call 8 sentences in a post "long-winded", though.

[Chicks]

ROFL. That you honestly believe your own BS, against the preponderance of scientific evidence, is laughable. You are a moron, who refuses to cede defeat on any point, ever. Such a sad little man.

The human race seems to be doomed indeed.

Very soon the weather events will be happening to frequent and at such costs in to many places to recover. To recover and still hold onto our way of life we have become accustom to.

That is when the fun begins, once the reality sets in and the masses react!
