Silent killer: Sweltering planet braces for deadly heat shocks

The problem is how global economy is working. The current economic model demands constant GDP growth every year, thus it always becomes the priority number 1. We need to change the global economic model and be ready to sacrifice the GDP if we don't want to kill our environment and ourselves.

Guess what says the scamming Western governments "I've got just the cure" A special tax and all will be good and guess what you all will feel good about yourselves whilst being shafted too. Oooh and we can buy and sell Carbon credits on Wall Street and make the fat cats and Banksters even fatter. And we all know what a great job governments do in at spending taxes in an efficient manner benefiting the public......NOT

Wake up sheeple it's a scam ! Dig a hole in the ground and you'll see the climate has been changing forever. Climate change my hairy.....

Funny, the article seems to make a link between climate change and hurricanes Harvey and Irma. According to the NOAA and even the IPCC, there is no such link.

Harvey and Irma struck two weeks apart, the record for two consecutive hurricane landfalls in America is 23 hours. The weather in Houston when Harvey hit was cooler than the average for that time of year, not hotter, and it was the cooler weather which caused Harvey to slow down and dump so much rain. Harvey was not the most powerful hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic.

Another thing, 2017 is far from having a record number of storms, it is actually below the annual average going back over the last century. And then there is the fact that Harvey was the first hurricane to make landfall in America in 12 years, which was indeed a record. With many of the last 12 years supposedly breaking temperature records, why the lack of hurricanes? And why the lack of deadly tornados?

Lastly, the latest IPCC report specifically states that global warming in the short term will not create any increase in extreme weather events. If anyone has cared to look, major hurricanes and tornados have been declining over the past 100 years, not increasing. Does the author of the article brother even to check out this simple fact?

According to the IPCC's latest report on climate change, if the world warms at the rate predicted by it's climate models, the world "might" see a 2% to 11% increase in severe weather events one century from now. The only problem is that their models are showing more than double the increase than is actually being observed in the climate.

Oh, and the world has been warmer in the past. An interesting thing about the glaciers melting is that they are uncovering mines, and other things made in Roman times. These things could not have been made if the world was colder, and the ground covered with ice.

Whether or not you frame your argument for or against climate change; the moment someone says "sheeple"; the argument is lost.

There is an astounding abundance of evidence for man-made climate change. The world's top scientists tell us it is happening. Trump and other denialists say it's a scam.

Do you really take the word of an ignorant billionaires and fossil fuel companies over scientists like David Attentborough, Stephen Hawking?
