    As difficult as it is, I will pass on responding to this.

    After reading your posts, my guess is that you couldn’t cut it as an Engineer. I know a lot of individuals who fell into that mode, and veered off into non-technical fields. It seems that your Nuclear Power employment became a PR job, focused on industry propaganda.

    That's hilarious. I should report it but I will let it stand as an example of the the actions of those who believe in faith based narratives.

    July ended the 12-month streak of hottest months ever. But it was close.

    https://apnews.com/article/climate-...obal-warming-8dde22d29ae273544ab5c2c24071d00b

    Earth’s string of 13 straight months with a new average heat record came to an end this past July as the natural El Nino climate pattern ebbed, the European climate agency Copernicus announced Thursday.

    But July 2024 ’s average heat just missed surpassing the July of a year ago, and scientists said the end of the record-breaking streak changes nothing about the threat posed by climate change.

    WUWT is a little behind schedule. Isn’t it time for them to publish an article that the earth is cooling?

    Copernicus confirmed this was weather as a result of the natural El Nino pattern.

    It’s weather within the context of climate change. We ‘have always had ElNino weather patterns, but we haven’t always had 12 months of unprecedented record high temperatures.

    Fully expecting a Utopian warming post next.

    It’s weather resulting rom ocean patterns which have existed for thousands of years.

    The Holocene has had 9 previous warming and cooling cycles with temperatures greater than our current warming.

    No evidence for any of that.

    All posted previously but ignored and now claimed the data was never presented. The pattern continues.

    More evidence that CO2 is good for us.
    Another New Study Finds Rising CO2 Enhances Planetary Greening And Reduces Drought Risk
    By Kenneth Richard on 12. August 2024

    “…elevated CO2 concentrations not only boosted vegetation growth through the fertilizer effect but also indirectly enhanced water availability [reducing drought risk] by improving water use efficiency.” – Song et al., 2024
    One of the more commonly-stated concerns linked to “global warming” is that sweltering heat will parch the terrestrial landscape (browning), limit vegetation growth, and foment water shortages – even widespread drought.

    However, a new study suggests the Earth’s rising CO2 concentration has the exact opposite effect in the real world.

    In their extensive trend analysis spanning the last few decades, the scientists determined elevated CO2 was the single most “dominant driver” (accounting for 45% of the correlation) when assessing the link between reducing vegetation water demand and improved water use efficiency.

    Compared to CO2, temperature and precipitation, for example, play a far less significant role (10-11% of the correlation) in influencing the trend in improved vegetation growth and water use efficiency.

    “The CO2 fertilization effect has benefits for both vegetation growth and water use efficiency (WUE).”

    “…elevated CO2 concentrations could indirectly enhance water availability by improving [water use efficiency]…reducing vegetation water demand.”

    You forgot to say that Uropian Warming is better than sliced bread.

    Increasing CO2 =/= warming.
    The data are the data.

    So what’s the denial argument today? Is it that it’s warming, but warming is a wonderful thing, or is it that it’s not warming? Or is it that the well financed fossil fuel industry doesn’t care which propaganda you’re selling?

    You're the one who keeps bringing up warming, which no one denies has happened.
    You're also the one denying the benefits of CO2 despite the peer-reviewed research to the contrary.

    “CO2 benefits” - Utopian warming is a myth propagated by extremist denialists funded by fossil fuel money. What’s your backup plan if your Utopian warming doesn’t pan out?

    You're the only one mentioning "utopian warming" so you'll have to answer the question yourself.

    Utopian Warming: A Climate Change philosophy, usually advanced by Climate Change deniers, that states that the world will be better off with warmer temperatures. Arguments for this philosophy ignore the predictions of nearly every scientific and geopolitical organization in the world, and also ignores the fact that there is no turning back.

    Not being advanced here by anyone. Not being mentioned by anyone but you.

    Just the opposite- being advanced by nearly all of you.

    You are confused. The benefits of increased CO2 are unconnected to warming.

    So it should be called the “Utopian CO2 Global Warming” theory.

    Has nothing to do with warming.
