we MUST listen to the ignorant fools while science finds mor evidence

https://www.theguardian.com/environm...ntists-worried

With temperatures rising in the Arctic at three times the global average, tracking lightning in the region has become an important indicator of the climate crisis.

Three things are required to generate thunderstorms – moisture, instability and lift. The disappearance of sea ice means more water is able to evaporate, adding moisture to the atmosphere. Higher temperatures and atmospheric instability create the perfect conditions for lightning. Monitoring how lightning trends change in the Arctic can therefore reveal a lot about how the atmosphere is changing in response to shifts in climate.

“Changes in the Arctic can mean changes in the weather at home,” Vagasky said. “All weather is local, but what happens at your house depends on how the atmosphere is behaving elsewhere throughout the world. Changes to conditions in the Arctic could cause more extreme cold outbreaks, more heatwaves, or extreme changes in precipitation to Europe.”

A 2014 study forecast a 12% increase in the frequency of lightning strikes with every one degree Celsius increase in temperature.

46zilzal...can you explain that while this is happening in the Arctic...Antarctica is having one of the coldest years there since temperatures have been recorded on that Continent? Or will the Agenda allow this?

jimmyb...10 inches here in Southeastern Kentucky, with a low of 7 degrees forecasted for tonight.

That Climate Change would sure help with my heating bill.

Note the excessive use of the words can and could, then the one time use of forecast. That is just a bunch of theories, which are guesswork, not evidence.
