Sedgwick is a born plutocrat, a son of a plutocrat, trained by his father. Cheating is inherent to plutocracy. Hard to become one, let alone remain one, without maintaining thumb/hand/arm/foot/leg/lower body/upper body/body on the scale.
This link is to a chart which displays planetary temperature change from 2,000 BCE to the present, a total of 4,000 years. The rise at the base of the chart is a display of the Hockey Stick description of events.
This chart, if printed on 8 1/2” x 11” paper, would require around 20 sheets for the full display. I haven’t figured this out to the last detail, although I did print it — I’ll count them when I begin to calculate how to reduce the size so I can fit the graph into a vertical wall hanging for my home office.
Obviously, only a 4,000 year period is unable to come anywhere CLOSE to describing the totality of change in planetary climate on the 4+ billion years since the formation of Earth. Orbital eccentricity results in significant changes over time — see Milankovitch Cycles for pages (tomes of them) of explanation necessary for description. Sorry, Geezer, no one sentence answer to your overly simplistic observation about climate change.
The base of the Hockey Stick I mentioned above, and available for view on the XKCD chart provided at the link below, clearly illustrates the drastic change to biospheric temperature which has occurred since the ubiquitous human employment of fossil fuel as an energy source over the past almost exactly two centuries.
And if this does not aid in informing you of the present existential threat to all life on Earth, don’t come runnin’ to me with your willfully blind whining.
Actions available to the Florida legislature to mitigate AGW Climate Change are extremely limited compared to those of a couple of decades ago, when Governor Rick Scott forbade mention of AGW Climate Change in state documents. And, obviously, the actions taken by a single state legislature — or a single national governmental body — have little if any chance of making any sort of positive difference to an inevitable outcome sans implementation of any mitigation actions.
Depends on concomitant ocean temperature/acidity rise. At best, sharks will only have some few number of decades to munch on Florida Man/Woman before their (the shark’s) extinction.
Trump will definitely turn his head toward Biden every so often and project a menacing glare. He’ll never be able to NOT do this, imo, and I don’t think any amount of coaching or efforts at self-control will be able to prevent it.
I’m also 100% positive that before the first debate (should he not come up with some excuse to avoid it) his advisory team will repeat, at least a bajillion times, an admonition to not slink away from his podium to stalk President Biden from behind, like he did HRC.
But I hope Trump ignores them, or just can’t help himself from doing so, and he does go into stalking mode. Because team Biden hopes for this and will be prepared with an action for Biden to take which humiliates The Former Sexual Predator (and, hopefully, convicted felon) Guy. And this type of humiliation will come off as weakness even for Trump’s RWNJ MAGA followers (maybe even especially so for this cohort of voters), and perhaps make a difference in swing states.
Best case, swing state Maybe-Trumper’s abandon ship and also don’t vote for down ballot slots, maybe costing the GOP some federal and state legislative seats.
Both will be fatal. It’s a question of which gets ‘em first, acidity or Florida Person.
