Rapid warming in the last few years is likely caused by the Hunga Tonga eruption, which put billions of tons of water vapor into the atmosphere AND warmed the oceans. What goes up, must come down. In the meantime it manifests as additional heat and humidity. We will likely get pronounced cooling in a few years - don't throw away your skis!

The horror to me is that these people, the climate fanatics, either think they are God or are evil. They are so sure that they have the answers. Chesterton's fence is completely and totally ignored. Which tells me everything they do is malicious.

Those who believe they know everything and are right and are *only doing it for your own good* are the most terrifying psychopaths out there...

I just don't understand how they can be so certain. There are so many variables and complications. So yes. they are the most terrifying psychopaths. I go back to Chesterton's fence, which is completely ignored.

+1 Thank you! I LOVE when someone's post makes me look something up. Chesterton's fence = important. And, although you probably remember him, George MacDonald and his works are what we need in these dark days. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, and Lewis Carroll, among others, were ardent fans of MacDonald.

Thank you as well. I didn't know about George MacDonald. Mere Christianity convinced me when I read it years ago .

Thank you. I couldn't remember the name of the underwater volcano when I posted my reply.

THANK YOU for mentioning it! A the time it happened (natural or man made?) I knew that that amount of water vapour in the atmo would be like a hot steamy moist green house... trapping heat... and no one I know would even consider its impact...
