  1. Yes, hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons. From NOAA: “A total of 94 tropical cyclones formed around the globe in 2021, which ties 1994 for the tenth most since 1981. Despite this above-normal number of named storms, the overall global tropical cyclone activity was down in 2021. Only 37 tropical cyclones made hurricane strength (>74 mph), which is the fewest on record since 1981.”
  2. To paraphrase Richard Feynman, “if the the predictions of a theory (catastrophic man made global warming causing more hurricanes) do not agree with observation, THE THEORY IS WRONG! It doesn’t matter if 97% of anyone agrees with it or not…the theory is WRONG….and that’s how science works.”
  3. If CRT was never taught in public schools in Virginia, why are some folks upset that Governor Youngkin has now banned the teaching of CRT in public schools in Virginia?
  4. I think the Biden horse is ready for the glue factory https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/bidens-approval-dips-to-new-low-as-independents-sour-on-his-leadership If the Right to Vote bill fails this week I expect support in his base will start to crater.
  5. I thought he was a Republican. (not joking I really thought he was a Republican)
  6. Ok SUVs still outsell EVs! Better?
  7. Truck bases SUVs https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g32670535/every-body-on-frame-suv-sold-today/?slide=4
  8. MSNBC just referred to VP Harris’s husband as “the First Gentleman”
  9. Since it is global and not local, it falls into the category of climate.
  10. And a F150 outsells all of them combined.
  11. I will admit, using an EV to mine cryptocurrency using “free” electricity from public charging stations does change the equation. I have to say I never saw that coming.
  12. Looks like Phil1111 has taken the “red pill” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_pill_and_blue_pill Now I’m waiting for BillV and Olof to pop a blue one and tell us the reason we are burning so much coal is because solar is more scalable and less expensive. (BTW the bipartisan infrastructure bill IS putting shovels into the ground. BBB was going to put shovels into the bank accounts of Americans)
  13. That’s what I thought, watching football goodnight
  14. I have made more than a half a dozen predictions for 2022. Why don’t you sack up and make some predictions of your own or at the very least contradict some of mine (if you can)
  15. Yes, 2022 will be colder than 2015 or 2016.
  16. You said: “2022 will be on average within 0.01C of 2021?” now you say 1.10 I will remain “crickets” until you have a conversation with yourself and figure out just what you are trying to say. ”never interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake”
  17. It is pretty obvious, at this point, that the climate system is not particularly sensitive to higher levels of CO2. All is not lost however. You can blame the continued lack of warming on volcanic activity. (For this year at least)
  18. How about 2022 will continue to show a lack of additional warming despite record levels of CO2?
  19. How bout addressing my 2022 predictions? (BTW I think Hannity is a doofus)
  20. I don’t see the world through rose colored glasses. I prefer to live in the real world. I don’t think EVs will overtake IC vehicles in the next three years (sorry Olof) I don’t think a “green new deal” will be implemented I don’t think renewables will overtake fossil fuels I don’t think that a few additional ppm of CO2 represents an existential threat to mankind I DO think CO2 levels will continue to rise. I think economies that aggressively pursue zero carbon policies will continue to suffer higher energy costs I do not think global temperatures will skyrocket in response to higher levels of CO2. I disagree with NASA’s prediction of a 24% reduction of global corn production by 2030 We will call these my predictions for 2022. Any questions?
