Scientists spot warning signs of Gulf Stream collapse (2023 Update)

It often hits me when some of the more psychotic posters here rant and rave their nonsense just how irrational they are. The weird part of Larkin's posts is how he has to deprecate the opinions of others. While he often whines about others not wanting to actually discuss his unreasoned arguments (when they actually do respond with reasoned arguments) he can't stop himself from describing their logic as fear and cowering.

It is a fool indeed who does not fear things that can kill, even if they are not pointing the barrel of their guns directly at you at any given moment. The gun barrels of AGW are pointed at our children and grand-children for sure even if not directly at us oldsters, el viejo. Which is worse, recognizing a danger and fearing it, or hiding one's head in the sand and pretending it's not there?

Hey, Chicken Little, tornadoes are down from 1954 - 2017, is that because of climate change?

Hurricane landfall has been pretty steady since 1900:

So, who you going to believe? a newspaper that needs to sell papers/advertising to survive or the scientists who actually record the data?

It might be. Tornado spawning isn't isn't well understood.

But they have become a bit more energetic. A warmer ocean drives more energetic hurricanes, but any hurricane drains the energy out of top fifty metres of the affected ocean pretty efficiently, and a more energetic hurricane drains the energy from a larger area. They aren't expected to become more frequent as global warming gets worse, but the hurricanes we do see are expected to become more energetic. Look at the wrong measure and you get the wrong answer

Not the guy who is cherry-picking the data to get the answer he likes.

Snowpack in the Sierras interests me, and there have been repeatable measurements since the 1800s. It's erratic year-to-year (which encourages alarmist extrapolations) but there seems to be no big longterm trend.

There certainly have NOT been surveys of the Sierra snowpack from the 1800s; you can't even do a visual without aerial machines (there aren't a lot of hot-air balloons with high altitude winter capability). That long timeline is for one station, not for the mountain range.

It's close enough to Sugar Bowl for me.
