Things are Starting to Heat Up Part VI 10

You have been affected more than you think. Consumer goods haven't been hit so hard but industrial products have. Lubricants, adhesive, and finished products all have long lead times or are impossible to get, still to this day.
There is absolutely a correlation between the public acceptance of face coverings and the number of bandits running around shooting at each other and mobbing shops.
I can't believe I'm sharing a UNICEF link but they seem to think schools were closed for close to a year.
Wait, what? Fuel (energy) is one of the fundamental components of cost. Fuel prices go up costs go up... for everything. Isn't that inflation?
Granted, I'm not buying thousands of gallons of anything but also haven't seen any significant issues getting drums and smaller of special products.
Folks in the PRoC may have worn them, but here in the US most folks didn't do that.
More like 3-4 weeks, schools had to reopen when businesses did so parents could work. MI has school choice so most parents dont even waste their breath on school administrators and boards anymore, they just send the kids to another and the local district has to cover the cost. Several local districts proposed requiring masks and immunizations until the numbers started to drop.
But they didnt. Our budget has only increased ~10% in 10 years, and that's mostly due to buying progressively larger homes.

That's a load of crap. We had 1 million deaths due to PIC (Pneumonia, Influenza, and COVID). Breathing without a mask did not cause anybody to die.
Why influenza deaths were coded as COVID deaths is another question.

...not according to worldometers... 1095K fatalities... as of today? ![[pipe]](/data/assets/smilies/pipe.gif "[pipe] [pipe]")
Even if wrong by 50%, which in unlikely, you are still higher than India which has a population of nearly five times as much.

dik, please familiarize yourself with the definition of a COVID death. In the USA we call it death with PIC, that's pneumonia influenza COVID. The numbers are inflated because they include more than COVID. And why do you think masks had any contribution to anything? There has been zero correlation between mask mandates and COVID deaths.
The problem is that the people dying of COVID were on their last legs to start with. The people dying from the 20% increase in homicide during mask mandates are young and otherwise healthy individuals. This is a problem.
These are the same experts that tell us climate change is existential. No credibility.

Whatever... you have over a million of them and counting. Tell that to the sod that has passed on. If you seasonally adjust weather, you will eliminate winters... feel any warmer?

This may be a possibility on the horizon. We just don't know how far this will go, and no one seems to be really addressing the matter.

Are you allowed to post Daily Mail articles? Aren't they a trash news outlet like Fox? New Scientist is a subsidiary.
On a brighter note, we just got our first big rain this year, very early in the season, and with more on the way. Perhaps this will be the drought buster year. These things are cyclical, after all.
-cheers from the heart of the mega drought.

It looks like the warming process rate of 2 isn't restricted to the Arctic...

What exactly is a heat wave? We need to have a formal definition otherwise we could call everyday a heat wave day.

I wonder what COP27 will bring? More of the same?

The climate agenda is going to require a substantial amount of authoritarianism to be effective. I guess that's for the better. 1° is existential, authoritarianism is not.

I'm pretty sure this will not end well. 'Democratic countries' are largely responsible for this mess, so yes, they should be responsible to 'fix' the problem. It's not going to happen, so we'll just have to wait to see how this turns out. COP27, in particular, should be using teleconference methods for meeting. It's the really green thing to do. Just a government 'circle jerk' where all the politicians are standing in a circle expressing what a wonderful job they are doing...
