Penrith swelters while Florida freezes: climate disruption is to blame
On Sunday the temperature at Penrith hit 47.3 degrees Celsius, making it the hottest place on Earth during that 24-hour period. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, extreme cold and snow penetrated deep into the south-east United States. In normally sub-tropical Florida, frozen iguanas were falling out of trees from the extreme cold. “Give us a bit of that ‘global warming’,” President Trump thundered sarcastically.
Terms like “global warming” and the mental images they trigger can be misleading when people attempt to understand what is happening to the climate. A far better term is “climate disruption”, which captures the real nature of the vast array of changes, many of them abrupt and unexpected, that are occurring.
One reader has a great take:
“Now the AGW Zealots are turning to calling the New Modern Cooling Period ‘Climate Disruption’ in a silly attempt to save the AGW CO2 wealth redistribution scheme. This is dangerous thinking and leaves the public unprepared for the New Modern Cooling Period that is upon us. Perhaps this is being done as a way to deflect the liability that’s out there for creating false narratives in my opinion.”
