What increase in extreme weather events? That person isn't very well informed. It doesn't matter Sig, the arctic is GONE 😂🤣

If you followed NOAA's actionable forecast you'd be spread-eagled on a northern Florida beach in your swim suit and nary a coat in sight ... frozen solid to the ground. The kind of intelligence you've come to expect from your government's best and brightest. NOAA produces seasonal outlooks to help communities prepare for what's likely to come in the next few months and minimize weather's impacts on lives and livelihoods. Empowering people with actionable forecasts and winter weather tips is key to NOAA’s effort to build a Weather-Ready Nation.www.noaa.gov/media-release/us-winter-outlook-noaa-forecasters-predict-cooler-wetter-north-and-warmer-drier-south

Some colourful writing in this article from JD: ' ........ then it follows that the $1.5 trillion global warming industry represents the most grotesque misuse of manpower and scarce resources in the history of the world. 'Climate change: the Hoax that Costs Us $4 Billion a Day

From today's The Australian":
[[New York announced plans Wednesday to sell off $5 billion in fossil fuel investments from city pension funds after suing for billions of dollars in damages from oil companies to help fund protection against climate change.]]
I don't see how the oil companies can avoid fighting this suit.
Otherwise, ever larger numbers will sue as well.
Having said that, it might prove to be fascinating legal case.
a] NY has to prove that climate change is happening [should be easy - has happened since the dawn of time]
b] They have to prove increasing damage from climate change [starting to get tricky].
c] They have to prove the oil companies substantially caused the damage [ life gets difficult for the lawyers. What about coal?!].].

Oil CO's pull out chart showing an almost doubling of life expectancy.
Case closed.

Sigurdur
I am not sure its that simple:
[[(CNN)Life expectancy in the United States has dropped again following last year's decline, which marked the first downturn in more than two decades.
On average, Americans can now expect to live 78.6 years, a statistically significant drop of 0.1 year, according to a report on 2016 data published Thursday by the National Center for Health Statistics. Women can now expect to live a full five years longer than men: 81.1 years vs. 76.1 years. The last time the agency recorded a multiyear drop was in 1962 and 1963.]]

This is due to a larger number of child deaths due to diseases of 'non-indigenous' people. I believe the same is happening in UK with importation of diseases that were from the past - like Scarlet Fever and tuberculosis.

Also, the increased gun violence from gangs like mis 13. They kill each other off almost as fast as they procreate.

Also, the slight drop in lifespan decrease doesn't mean lifespans are going down. Use the same theory as AGW. Dying means you really are living longer, just as cold means it is really warming.

journals.ametsoc.org/doi/full/10.1175/JAMC-D-11-0226.1The NOAA National Climatic Data Center maintains tables for temperature and precipitation extremes in each of the U.S. states. Many of these tables were several years out of date, however, and therefore did not include a number of recent record-setting meteorological observations. Furthermore, there was no formal process for ensuring the currency of the tables or evaluating observations that might tie or break a statewide climate record. This paper describes the evaluation and revision of the statewide climate-extremes tables for all-time maximum and minimum temperature, greatest 24-h precipitation and snowfall, and greatest snow depth (the five basic climate elements observed on a daily basis by the NOAA Cooperative Weather Network). The process resulted in the revision of 40% of the values listed in those tables and underscored both the necessity of manual quality-assurance methods and the importance of continued climate-monitoring and data-rescue activities to ensure that potential record values are not overlooked.

www.ibtimes.co.uk/i-will-pay-fare-stephen-hawking-wants-send-climate-change-deniers-venus-1655075When Stephen Hawkins states the above when co2 has been historically much higher with no detriment to our existence, I can only think of this Sherlock Holmes quote "How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?" The improbable truth that remains is someone must've hacked his voice box thingy.....i mean, how would we ever know?
