Sorry tug... feedback is a cybernetic term and may be relevant, elsewhere. It's essential for controlling systems. It's not just a 'trendy' term... my first exposure to it was over 50 years back. ![[pipe]](/data/assets/smilies/pipe.gif "[pipe] [pipe]")

Classic Tug, seizing on a single word and leveraging it to attack the entire credibility of a statement or person. Sounds a lot like a FoxNews* tactic - is that by any chance your cable network of choice?
You have the habit of picking a key word and attacking a different meaning of that word - total logical fail! It also is the basis of your puerile insults. In all seriousness, you should get that checked out. Please Tug, throw me a sophisticated insult that I can respect! One that hurts!
* FoxNews. I know, it’s an oxymoron.

dik,
I’m only citing TBE, my mentor in matters political. I don’t even know what some of those words mean, so try to be patient with me.

What do you think, dik,
Have we reached peak back-end-of-a-cow emissions with this thread?
Not that you haven’t provided more than enough evidence to overcome even the most thorough, conscientious, smokestack-hugging skeptic.

Not done yet... there's likely more to come. Still awaiting the government decree on who's to receive water from the Columbia River... Next big thing coming up, I think. This can affect several states as well as Mexico.... Texas and California are still in the 30C range. It appears the UK is still cooking and drying up... so little has changed. When it does, I'll let you know.

should be corrected to, "is likely relevant." Even reading a book can be treated as cybernetics... action, feedback, and correction.

It looks like no one is paying any attention to this possible calamity...

Brimmer I don't think you know it's an oxymoron. I don't think you know what an oxymoron is. An oxymoron requires two contradictory words/statements. Fox and News aren't contradictory.

Assuming that its even possible, raising body temperature and resulting increased metabolism by 4° is going require an increase in food consumption, if nothing else. Italian reports say many farms there are experiencing an 80% decline in production and we're at 1°. It's not averages that are particularly worrying. Its the excursions from averages that make critical events. The average throughout the year could remain the same even if extremes were greater than 10 σ. Summer crops aren't going to survive waiting for winter rain, even if its more rain. Build more water storage?

80% reduction in production? That seems huge. Maybe there are other causes:
If people aren't buying it why produce it?
For every negative statistic there is a rush to somehow tie it to climate change.

Falling crude prices…looks like Joe’s trip to grovel and kiss MBS’s backside is yielding benefits for American Hummer owners. He’ll never get his lips clean again though.

Hey, the Hummer has one of the most fuel efficient engines in it's class. When installed light pickup trucks in the early 1980's that engine would routinely get 20-25 mpg, a number that still hasn't been duplicated today

For every drought there is a flood.
For every climate scientist there are 10000 Denialists.

What exactly is a climate scientist? Is there a degree? Is it accredited? What kind of qualifications are required to be called a climate scientist?
