The destructiveness of extreme weather is one of the biggest stories of our time. When it comes to fire, drought and floods, we spend a lot of time showing you the effects of climate change. But it's also important to talk about the causes.
That is why CBS is making it a priority to report on climate change with "On the Dot" with David Schechter. In this ongoing reporting project, we will take you on a journey to discover how humans are changing the Earth and how the Earth is changing us.
As each day passes, an invisible problem is creating more danger for people on Earth. That invisible problem is carbon dioxide, and too much of it in the atmosphere is what drives climate change. Carbon dioxide comes from the fossil fuel energy we use, the vehicles we drive and the products we make. And according to NASA, people have raised the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by 50% since the beginning of the 18th century.
"I think this is our main social environmental challenge for humanity, is how to live on this planet so that not only the benefits that we've enjoyed of a stable climate, of access to fresh water, of you know, not having fires in our neighborhood, that our children and our children's children have those same benefits," said Dr. Eugene Cordero, a climatologist at San Jose State University. "And I think we should be very, very concerned about this."
On future episodes of "On the Dot" we will continue to explore the problem of climate change and what we can do about it, looking at extreme weather, fire, drought and floods.

The destructiveness of extreme weather is because we have built more in extreme weather areas.
Deaths from weather are at the lowest in human history. But let’s not talk about that.
Lastly, if oceans are going to rise, why are the leading financial institutions with the highest ESG scores still funding construction on our shorelines? Shouldn’t they be worried about rising sea levels?
Invisible and objectively unprovable.
He showed data from a sensor that measured the intensity of IR at two different altitudes, one near the surface and one higher up.
There was a noticeable drop in IR measured at altitude in the two narrow bands of IR to which CO2 is opaque.
So CO2 does not, in fact, block a large band of IR, and I also thought that those bands correspond to two rather narrow temperature ranges.
So if there is little air or ground at those two narrow bands of temperatures, then CO2 has no effect.
It just made me even more skeptical, especially since even now CO2 is only 500 parts per million of the atmosphere.
The invisible solution:
How the earth maintains stasis?
By elegantly designed negative feedback loops (more are discovered each year) that give cyclical behavior to climate within controlled norms.
Shalom!
Meanwhile, trust the climate oligarchs to find private profit in public policy.
“When it comes to fire, drought and floods, we spend a lot of time showing you the effects of climate change.”
When did fire become a weather climate control topic involving change?

How convenient! And did they explain precisely and scientifically how carbon dioxide has such an effect effect? /s
Carbon is not carbon dioxide. They are different substances.
Look up. In some parts of the world there is this big flaming ball of fire. It is the overwhelmingly major source of heat on the planet.
It is an act of extreme arrogance to think that human activities come anywhere near the Sun in their effect on the net amount of heat energy the planet retains.
CLIMATE BULL SHIT (CBS)
“I think this is our main social environmental challenge for humanity, is how to live on this planet so that not only the benefits that we’ve enjoyed of a stable climate, of access to fresh water, of you know, not having fires in our neighborhood, that our children and our children’s children have those same benefits,” said Dr. Eugene Cordero, a climatologist at San Jose State University. “And I think we should be very, very concerned about this.”
Good Grief! Is this Dr. Eugene Cordero or Dr. Irwin Corey!?
Best Dr. Irwin Corey Quotes:
“If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re going.”
“Marriage is like a bank account. You put it in, you take it out, you lose interest.”
“Without this great land of ours, we would all drown.”
Well, let’s be honest. The dems have found a way to STOP volcanoes and lava breaches for the foreseeable millions of years, they deserve some credit for this.
How big was the bribe from the WEF to CBS? Millions?
Fixed it.
The obscenity of opposition to carbon emissions is based on a belief that creation, nature, is self destructive. Humans are a function of nature, as much as the ants and the bees. What we do is within the spectrum of natural, normal activity.
A major issue confronting nature on the earth is global freezing. According to historical weather trends earth is overdue for an ice age. The last ice age caused an extinction cascade that saw 90% of life on earth ended. Preventing this is in the interest of every living creature on earth.
To achieve a slowing or even reversing of an ensuing ice age requires substantial efforts to increase warming trends. If carbon emissions are achieving that result they are consistent with the interests of every living organism on earth.
A rise in sea level is not a significant concern. Historically there have been entire nations engulphed by the sea. If one builds on the shore line one is sure to be inundated.
Opposition to carbon emissions is an assault on life itself. It is critical if life is to survive for the next ice age to be reversed.
To sustain life on this planet, CO2 levels must be 150 PPM or higher.
Current CO2 level is approx. 415 PPM
95% of all CO2 in our atmosphere comes from nature, only 5% is man made. Man is only responsible for approx. 21 PPM of all CO2........
That's the science they refuse to tell you.....
Better start wiping out people,I guess that’s what Fauci,Biden and democrats are attempting to do
The author of this has spewed more carbon dioxide with his big mouth and is killing more people
>> So, no. The weather is not getting more extreme. It just gets reported more dramatically than ever before as media outlets compete to dramatize more than their competitors to bring in viewers and clicks.
____________
You are so right—the second we had a 24/7 channel devoted to weather, weather became dramatized and catastropized. Huge problem.
I used to live in an area hit by hurricanes. One day I saw a map of the East Coast and Western part of the Atlantic with 2 or 3 dozen hurricane paths marked on it. It was very easy to see how hurricanes have shaped our coastline.
In addition, I lived in that area over enough years to see it get developed. At first there were just a few hardy fishermen there, and their houses were old. Then there were vacationers buying land cheap and building small houses because people weren’t going there for the house but for the outdoors. Then land developers came, along with more businesses. Then super-rich people going to The Latest Place. Then bigger houses, more businesses, more infrastructure.
So, 100 years ago a small hurricane could roll through and the locals would notice it. Even if their houses blew down, it was only a few hundred dollars. Then we had weather reporters and everyone was aware of the storm because it was on TV, the 15 minutes devoted to weather 2 or 3 times a day.
But now! Huge numbers of people of people, huge amount of very expensive houses, businesses, the costs of a storn have gone up astronomically, and the reporting by over 24 times, and so storms are more destructive, because there is so much more to destroy, and reported on breathlessly 24/7, and there are 2 generations who know no difference, so clearly, storms are getting worse... because of global warming.
Gimme a break.
