    Even the IPCC does not support your claim. And there is no evidence that the current global warming has had any effect. Droughts are weather events.

    They sure are, and more extreme weather events are predicted by climate change models.
    These fires are the results of wetter rain season resulting in abnormal growth and dryer droughts that result in that growth becoming more dry, yielding higher amounts of fuel for fires.

    GINI is meaningless.

    The Swedish middle class pays very high rates. They pay a 25% federal sales tax rate and in Denmark for example an income of $60,000 is taxed at 60%.

    Corporate tax rates are the same.

    So Australia had a monsoon before the current drought ???

    BTW 0.03 degrees Centigrade per year will not result in any significant weather events.

    Funny enough another poster already provided what I need. They thought it backed up the denier angle though.
    As you can see, you get increased rain for a few years then extreme drought for a few years.
    Extreme weather events. Severity is the name of the game.

    Are you ever planning to slow down burning fossil fuels?

    The chart shows nothing. And there is no correlation with global warming.

    Yeah I mean it's only a hundred years of data that shows rainfall in Australia has more than doubled in the last 50 years, but sure.

    "climate change".

    Extreme weather events brought on by climate change. Your content helped support my argument. Thanks for that.

    The chart you referenced shows nothing. Not even a correlation much less causation.

    Sure, because climate change is measured in 100 year data sets.

    Quick, send all your money to the government and live in a tree.

    Alarmists are not familiar with the scientific method.

    As I said, just about everyone pays high personal income taxes in Sweden.

    Ummmm, scientists figured it out. How would they be unaware of it? It’s a recent discovery. Previously it was thought we would run short of hydroxyl radicals and methane would build up in the atmosphere as a result. Turns out the news is good on this front if you are concerned with methane. Why does there always seem to be the assumption on your part that science can only make discoveries that show the negative aspects of climate change and climate contributing factors? Seems very odd. Are you not interested in positive discoveries, don’t know about them, or just can’t accept their reality?
    Radicals convert methane to CO2 so the carbon in the atmosphere remains. It just has far less warming potential and is available for sequestration again.

    The point is we are finding out methane will not be as big a problem as some once hypothesized. Does that make you happy, sad, or mad?

    Seriously, you ran to the mods for adding "left in the ground" to "coal and natural gas are best"?
    Sad.

    Much less to warming, yes. These recent discoveries take a couple of the worst case scenarios off the table.

    Is this good news pleasing to you?

    Bernie plans to milk the corporate sector, something the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, etc. figured out was a bad idea.

    Would you prefer 15,000 years back in North America? Not me.

    That would kill the US economy.
