Some notes from Climate Skeptic talk 5, 7/20/22
The Twitter Space recording (about 75 minutes) is here. Host Tom Nelson (@tan123); co-host was Joe Wellborn (@CupoJoeBlow); speakers included Chris Martz (@ChrisMartzWX), Michael (@mrj880) JW Spry (@HorribleHorrie2), @OyVeyIzhMir, @tim_dunkerton and others.
Important point: @ChrisMartzWX pointed out that the temperature records at Heathrow in London only go back to 1973. The U.S. has some of the best, longest-running weather station coverage in the world.
Chris later wrote: Here's a study that supports my meteorological explanation of the EU heatwave. Summer of 1540 was likely warmer than 2003. Spot the CO2-induced wildfire crisis (h/t @chrismartz); paper by @BjornLomborg
Michael (@mrj880) had some interesting comments about running this tweet twice about 6 months apart. He had maybe 20k likes the first time and over 100k likes the second time; he plans to run the tweet again in about 6 months. Lots of mainstream media sources (including AP and Reuters) “fact-checked” this tweet.
There was discussion of arsonists starting wildfires. Possibly some of the arsonists are warmists?
