LOL! wonder why he chose to include only March to August??

Still wondering about this. Why did you criticize the national temperature map for "only including March to August" when you previously posted/backed a map which only included January 1st-February 21st?

Almost coast to coast cold so far this year. The entire country except spots in Maine, Florida and The Southwest running with below normal temperatures since January 1st. Is this the start of our next cyclical climate change cycle of a turn to colder?

No need to still be pondering this....just looking for the complete facts!

In one school of philosophy ... this is actually a good thing -

"Climate change inaction costs millions of lives each year, report warns"

( https://phys.org/news/2025-11-climate-inaction-millions-year.html )

It's always been about population.  Too many human beings.   It's callous perhaps to put it in such terms, but reality and math and logic ...?  they are dispassionately true like that.  When there are 8 and some odd billion in population pumping out Industrial volatile chemistry as exhaust... it overwhelms the Earth's physical processes.  If our species is going to survive by producing all that exhaust, there needs to be far fewer of us.  It's interesting that  we are being forced to make a choice between inaction and death, vs action when part of that action requiring less births/controlling population.  Either way, less people

The population correction is already begun, folks - it's just not striking everyone's streets at the same time. 

Some of which is happening unwittingly, by the way.  It is now either too socially disadvantageous for younger child rearing, or there's gamete potency problems manifesting in general male population - the latter is cited/scienced.  Birthing rates are empirically dropping at an alarming rate around the world.  Whether it is socioeconomic, environmental, or some aspect of both ( probably both..) it seems the ultimatum cannot be escaped.  And while that spectrum of causes isn't related to climate change, exactly, again ... too much population.

And yet worldwide life expectancy continues to rise.

Something doesn't jive.   Methinks it's the information in these "reports".

(So much for the "good thing" of mass die-off)

Heh,  life expectancy can have multiple definitions - depending on context..etc.  

First of all, it's not just about CC killing people.   That's childish really.  I just hear this doubter's tactic all the time, too. Not sure if it is because they can't see the bigger picture, or they have some other aspect about their minds that limits their perceptions into very narrow inclusions.  I'm not saying it's you, but too often retorts are myopically linear like that. Reductive, when not conflating.  Reductive really is the best word for it, where they either do not understanding or are predisposed to ignore the fuller extent of nuanced complexity that really constructs the topic at hand.  Or, are just being immorally devices in only giving data that supports their side. 

Why not give it a try?   The upshot is that it's trying to save lives.  I mean like what's the doubter point- there is none.  Don't do anything because one thinks their is no risk, is a Darwinian Award looking for a ceremonial.  

The total assessment of life expectancy comes from any array of additions and subtractions of factors, both of which are also changing in time.

Ex, a human at birth in 2025 has a much longer life expectancy than 1725 because of improv(e)(ing) medical standards relative to era.  Other discoveries since and including the advantages of, the Industrial Revolution, is why the population of the world soared billions since 1750.  This is all vastly more pervasively effecting the extension of life than millions dying from CC.  

(CC killing millions + population either opting out, or losing birth capacity)  / 2 = some hindrance to life expectancy that has, so far, much less weight than the advantages of the last 200 years - the trailing generations of which are yet also advantaged ever more.  But this is all a situation that is changing. 

The bottom line is... people will doubt whatever it is they don't want/can't or agenda to admit, until it causes them pain.  There is no such thing in their mind as a CC. There is no such thing as a polluted penis problem.   They’ll defiantly remain hard headed until they suffer, then?  they are usually evangelical going the other way. I don’t usually engage in this level of the discussion because I find this limitation blocking sight of subject at hand to be all but an impossible barrier. so … just have to wait it out. Eventually denial will be replaced by shame
