Climate Crisis: Are we doing enough?

[albion]

Seems major cimate sceptic state Texas has had over 8 inches of sea level rise since 2010.
The north sea is also bad.
This one is Whitby. Again an accelerating rise.

This one is North Shields

The acceleration since the year 2000 is very stark, more visible on the Whitby one which starts at 1980.
The Philippeans, which will be mainly all lost, a short distance into the future has seen a steady and massive almost 3 foot since 1965.

Whilst I know it's an issue, and I'm not a sceptic by any means, those graphs are hopeless!

The one for Shields is particularly awful.

All three could be plotted far more simply, which would emphasise the reality much more clearly.

 

[albion]

That would lose accuracy and also get accusations of bias. The few missing plots will be measuring system outages/problems.
What is apparant for North Shields is that sea level was around 6.825m 1910 and over 7m 2010.

All dataiseems freely available from them, it being simply the none political global data bank.

Hard hitting comment on the moronic Drax power station, increasing both bills and climate change.

I live near there and watch the trains bring in the pellets. It’s better than coal but what about the ships from Canada burning bunker fuel? It’s all a bit crazy.

Yes, but think of the carbon credits !

Meanwhile GBNews has latched onto the 100 mph speed limit proposal.

I suppose we might as well gave a blast in those 5 years left.

A couple more heroes, likely doing it for their grandchildren and great grandchildren.

bob76345672 and his internet mates are saying this shows JSO aren't a NON-VIOLENT protest group. "vandalism is violence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
(some also say that the sit-down protests on roads are violent, because they are imprisoning innocent drivers.)

As mad as a march hare.

That's very unfair on March Hares.

Bigly.

I was amused last week, when Trump had to feign not to listen to an hour or so of his lawyer Susan Necheles referring to him as "an orange turd". This was in cross examination of Stormy Daniels, and referencing tweets she made.
For someone who is spending a large part of time in court apparently reading articles which massage his ego, that's got to hurt.

You bring me $1 billion and get up to $100 billion in return.

Good policy whilst the Conservatives promise to overturn it in their mission to kill the planet.
