Folks who continue to deny existence of climate change and the causes of global warming being uncontrolled/continual greenhouse gas emissions should no longer be listened to.
Especially after this -> https://phys.org/news/2022-08-greenland-ice-sheet-faster-irreversibly.html
A study published Aug. 29, 2022, demonstrates—for the first time—that Greenland's ice sheet is now so out of balance with prevailing Arctic climate that it no longer can sustain its current size. It is irreversibly committed to retreat by at least 59,000 square kilometers (22,780 square miles), an area considerably larger than Denmark, Greenland's protectorate state.
Even if all the greenhouse gas emissions driving global warming ceased today, we find that Greenland's ice loss under current temperatures will raise global sea level by at least 10.8 inches (27.4 centimeters). That's more than current models forecast, and it's a highly conservative estimate.
A sad week for the planet and human beings indeed.
