To be aware and acknowledge that the Earth's climate might be changing is reasonable.
This is primarily due to the fact that the Earth's climate is always changing.
Anyone insisting that the change is primarily due to human activity is deeply unreasonable, because that is simply not a provable fact, because no one has two planet earths, one with humans and one without, to make such an empirical determination.
Anyone insisting that they know human activity is primarily responsible for current changes is making assertions based on a mass amalgamation of very narrowly focused Science papers - which is quite incomplete - on the tens of thousands of interrelated thermal transfer processes of planet earth.
And then from making these assertions on paltry substance, the alarmists make declarations to themselves and others around them about what they now know "is fact".
Why would people behave like this?
Because it makes them feel good that "they care".
Because it makes them feel good that they can feed their ego with the emotional zeal of hatred so easily aimed at successful oil corporations.
But these feelings are effectively religious dogma in their minds, not empirically provable facts.
Ok, so why would people refuse to adapt their mindset on the topic when confronted with skepticism about the degree of anthropogenic effects on the climate?
Because they deeply fear having to suffer the abandonment of ideas they have clung on to for years of their lives; they would have to admit how wrong they have been for a very long time. Most people don't have the emotional strength to do this, even when confronted with empirical evidence.
It used to be that adventurers of the past looked at the challenges of weather and sea level changes as a fundamental tenet of existing in the universe; living life on planet Earth presents a challenge, accept it and be industrious to solve it, or face the peril of death.
In distinct contrast, many current climate alarmists are entirely unaware of their own arrogance as manifested in their baseline sense of entitlement to a world of perfect and unchanging climate. The Climate Alarmists may well not believe in a god, but they sure as hell know if it wasn’t for other people’s carbon emissions, their world would be comfortable and unchanging.
As a result they do extreme things to lash out at the ghosts in their minds, like religious zealots, glueing themselves to roads, destroying society's valuables, asserting false claims wrapped up in stupid human guilt whenever a tragic weather event occurs, and voting for political parties who almost always have a record of imposing policies that lower the quality of life for millions of people.
Compared to the hearty populations of the past, and some living less coiffed lifestyles in the present, these climate alarmists are men and women neutered from their own strength to see the challenges of life as a source of aspiration to solve and grow. These alarmists would rather sulk in sadness of the state of humanity, which soothes their self-tortured souls not much differently than an injection of heroin distracts and deadens the self-inflicted life pains of a junkie.
Also none of these concerns about carbon emissions will be on anyone’s list of concerns in a hundred years or so when nuclear fusion or beamed solar systems remove the bulk of combustion activity on planet earth.
The period of time of human oil combustion will be a brief blip during the growth of civilization, rather than a doom spiral of turning the Earth into Venus, as the Climate Alarmists are so absolutely sure of.
This is all distinctly disappointing when there is a real issue of pollution to address: the particulate pollution that is known to be causing lung cancer. Co2 is effectively aerobic plant fertilizer and should be mostly ignored. If one ‘cares about the environment’ there should be much more focus on reducing the particulate emissions of combustion, not Co2 emissions.
But particulate pollution turned out to be not nearly as effective a political manipulation topic as carbon emissions, so we’re all left in a world chasing a phantom problem while people die in great numbers by lung cancer.
Finally, within time-scales larger than one human life, wind storms like these are totally normal, and in fact routinely occuring.
If we were to - stupidly - assume all the worst of all Climate Alarmist Addicts, this would translate to maybe 1 or 2 more windstorms than the usual 10 per 200 years.
So to attribute this one wind storm's occurrence as proof of or derived from human caused climate change is a level of idiocy and mislead belief no different than humans have believed in extreme religious beliefs since the dawn of civilization.
This is rather ironic since Science actually grew out of a need for humanity to get past such firmly held beliefs that were simply not true.
When you read “...illustrating what experts describe as increasingly unpredictable weather extremes driven by climate change.” and you intellectually lap that up and then do nothing to combat the misinformation to others or yourself, you are actively making the world a worse place.
