I'm sorry but the science is against you https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/youre-bullying-me-climate-activist-hunger-striking-outside-parliament-house-storms-out-of-fiery-interview-with-andrew-bolt/news-story/afc3bea4bbcc98b712fdae22f154e9c6 /s

Edit: I don't actually believe Sky News or Andrew Bolt and I'm not a sceptic, I posted this out of sarcasm

I'd be a little pissy as well if I hadn't eaten for 7 days 😜

If you thought Bolt's commentary was bad you should see the comments on that page too

Wow, can't tell if most of those are satire or legitimate.

"Oh the poor little didums had to go running to his safe space."

"Oh diddums...weak wimpy throws a tantrum when he can't get Andrew Bolt to agree with him. He gave a pathetic performance.... what a looser"

"This was fantastic to watch and entertaining . Global warming policy is a total scam."

With a cursory glance it seems the majority of comments on that page are like this. Than again, it is Sky News...

Michael McManus the Wombat seems to be trying to fight against the agenda though.

Also this one:

"We need more fossil fuels not less. CO2 is a trace gas and essential to life on earth. 97% of CO2 is emitted naturally. Human activity contributes to 3% of this. Considering that CO2 is only 0.04 percent of the atmosphere it’s a trivial amount. The climate change scam is just that, a scam"

Bro, what?!

The thing is those people's main interactions with other people's politics is through Faceboook which is designed to be an echo chamber, then they find "news" to validate their stupid ideas and discuss with like minded people in the comment section further entrenching their opinions.

The weird thing is you have to be extremely unhinged to not know anything about science but when the man on tv tells you scientists are wrong suddenly you don't need an undergraduate degree, honours and a PhD to be a "scientist"

If sky news is your leading source for science facts, I think you may be misled.

Sorry should've made it clearer that I was being sarcastic

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The world has just experienced its hottest 12-month period in recorded history, with the average global temperature over 1.3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels between November 2022 and October this year.

"Looking at the climate shift index, we could see that close to 5.8 billion people actually, in this past year, experienced temperatures higher than the normal monthly averages," she said.

The analysis found impacts in developed nations were also accelerating, with unusually high temperatures in the last six months hitting Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Indonesia in particular.

In the past 12 months, the analysis found that a quarter of the world's population experienced a five-day heat streak made at least two times more likely because of human-caused climate change.

The record-breaking temperatures around the world were in line with what scientists had predicted for greenhouse gas emission levels in the atmosphere, Climate Central's Dr Pershing said.

While Dr Pershing said it was difficult to tease apart how much the normal weather cycles of La Niña and El Niño played, the record breaking 12-months was consistent with the long-term warming trend.

Real talk- should I be buying land in Minnesota or Canada?
