1/17》Climate change is not making hurricanes more destructive. https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html?0=hurricanes#hurricanes…

2/17》Nor is it making tornadoes more destructive. https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html?0=tornadoes#tornadoes…

3/17》Nor is it making wildfires worse. https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html?0=fires#fires…

4/17》Nor is it making droughts worse. https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html?0=droughts#droughts…

5/17》Nor is it significantly affecting sea-level trends. https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html

6/17》Temperatures are slightly milder than they were a century ago, but they are nowhere near unprecedented. https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html?0=temperatures#temperatures…

7/17》Recent warming is very slow & slight compared to past natural warming events, such as Dansgaard-Oeschger terminations. Ice cores record dozens of them in the last 100K years. https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html?0=d-o#d-o… D-O terminations warmed at rates of up to several degrees/decade (>10× recent rates of warming), in the NH. Fortunately, even those large, abrupt temperature changes apparently didn't cause mass extinctions.

8/17》The main consequences of CO2 emissions and climate change have been very positive, like a greening Earth: https://www.nasa.gov/technology/carbon-dioxide-fertilization-greening-earth-study-finds/… https://sealevel.info/greening_earth_spatial_patterns_Myneni.html… This is NASA's video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOwHT8yS1XI…

9/17》The Sahel (southern Sahara) is benefiting tremendously from rising CO2 levels. https://www.sealevel.info/Pearce2002_Africans_go_back_to_the_land_as_plants_reclaim_the_desert-New_Scientist.html… @New Scientist reported the "remarkable environmental turnaround," including a “quite spectacular regeneration of vegetation,” and "70% increase in yields of local cereals such as sorghum and millet in one province in recent years."

10/17》In 2009 @National Geographic reported, "Vast swaths of North Africa are getting noticeably lusher due to warming temperatures, new satellite images show, suggesting a possible boon for people living in the driest part of the continent." https://sealevel.info/Owen2009_Sahara_Desert_Greening-NatGeo30639457.html…

11/17》Rising CO2 levels greatly improve global food security, by increasing crop yields, through "CO2 fertilization," and through improved water use efficiency and drought resilience. That's helping make famines rare for the first time in history. https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html?0=benefits#benefits…

12/17》Throughout human history, until the late 20th century, famine was a Damoclean sword hanging over mankind: the "Third Horseman of the Apocalypse." If you're too young to remember catastrophic drought-triggered famines, count yourself blessed. https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html?0=madrasfamine#famine…

13/17》To put it in perspective: ● Covid-19 killed 0.1% of world population. ● 1918 flu killed about 2%. ● WWII killed 2.7%. ● The near-global drought and famine of 1876-78 killed about 3.7% of the world population. https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/clim/31/23/jcli-d-18-0159.1.xml…

14/17》Here are some more papers documenting the major beneficial effects of CO2 emissions. https://sealevel.info/negative_social_cost_of_carbon.html…

15/17》The CO2 Coalition has many great resources for learning the facts about CO2 and climate change: https://co2coalition.org/…

16/17》Many top scientists are members of the CO2 Coalition, where they volunteer their time for free, in support of sound science. https://twitter.com/GWrightstone/status/1655634353387446276…

17/17》To understand #ClimateChange (or any other politicized or contentious topic), you need balanced information. I'm here to help: https://sealevel.info/learnmore.html This resource list has: ● accurate intro climatology info ● in-depth science from BOTH skeptics & alarmists ● links to balanced debates between experts on BOTH sides ● info about climate impacts ● links to the best blogs on BOTH sides
