Meanwhile:
Australia just had their coldest recorded winter, Glen Innes in NSW registered a minimum temperature of -10.8C on July 20 2023.

And:
South Pole Amundsen-Scott station just recorded a record lowest 6 month period since records began 150 years ago.

Global warming ???

There is one last coal burning power station left, currently supplying around 3.5% of our electricity, and it is scheduled to close in September, thanks to the extremists running this country. It will make no difference at all to the global climate. But it will mean we are up shits creek when the wind doesn't blow and the solar panels are covered in snow... and the French decide to ramp up what they charge us for importing from them. This in a country that has a wealth of coal, gas and oil. And for some reason, little desire to use more nuclear.

I don't know about others, but my energy bills are three times higher than they were a few years ago. Every single household in the land is paying to subsidise this green energy scam. Absolutely scandalous. Only one political party proposes scrapping Net Zero.

Guantou used the expression "global warming", which is still being used to describe an alleged crisis of our making, although the UN recently upgraded the scare to "global boiling" as I recall. You have then switched to a completely different expression - climate change - to respond to his post. I will assume this was done in ignorance rather than for purposes of deception.

In any case, to answer your claim: surely it depends on how the climate is changing?

"Increases" versus decreases or no change at all.
"Extremes" versus every state between nothing and that.
"Both directions" as though there are only two.

Your post sounds very simplistic and binary. But don't worry, this seems to be a common trend with this subject, even amongst the generously subsidised experts.

The climate is made up of trillions of cubed inches of air, all constantly behaving in a dynamic way in response to a range of ever changing variables - temperature, pressure, altitude - alongside interactions with and between numerous other factors, from the atomic structures of gasses to the earth's relationship with the Sun.

It is why all the modelling behind "the science" is so pathetically inadequate, why completely opposite claims and hypotheses emerge on a daily basis, and why the matter is very far from being settled.

In the meantime, those of us who like to think about things and prefer to avoid being conned, cannot help noticing the myriad contradictions...

Too often data presented is ultra short in terms of geological time. We need to take a step back to get the bigger picture and consider longer periods.
Consider the average earth temperature.

Sometimes a picture can say a thousand words...

Squint a little. Does anyone see a pattern here? A natural pattern?

We can see that the earth was regularly up to 4 degrees above the current 'normal'. Due to the sun and variations in earths orbit. And there is absolutely nothing humankind can do to stop it. Bigger forces are at work. Get used to it...

A “pandemic of snow” in Alaska is set to continue into the weekend as bleak forecasts predict more blizzards of snow and the lowest temperatures in 15 years with -30C expected.
Record breaking levels of snow in Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city, have caused multiple roofs of commercial buildings to collapse as the city battles the fierce cold weather snap. Officials have strongly recommended that residents in the city shovel snow off the roof of their home, particularly if the building is showing any signs of structural distress - however small.
