It would take a lot of work as some of the points are well outside my expertise.

I have made this exact point myself.

I’m not trying to defend the documentary, just encouraging people to offer evidence when they reject nonsense.

Just saying it’s nonsense comes across as arrogant, arguing from authority. It’s tricky to be actually helpful in the face of pseudoscience.

I am unfamiliar with the material and would appreciate a link.

It would be useful if you provided a brief rebuttal of the other points as well. Thanks.

I think single event attribution is not a good use of our attentions. It’s easy to see why people are always looking for a simple cause/effect when something unusually disruptive occurs.

But in the end the circumstances call for more resilience, regardless of causes of individual disasters.

This is just confirmation bias vs confirmation bias. The actual science can vary a lot on attribution and attribution confidence from one event to another. In the end it’s just the wrong question, though.

The stable climate of the past is over. We have to expect the unexpected.

I don’t know as this needs a conspiracy to explain..

We will never see another major natural disaster without this debate “exactly as predicted by all-seeing scientists” bs “obviously completely normal”.

People have blamed volcanoes on climate change! Others have denied any link to forest fires!

On the whole I’m more interested in the adaptation events that the post-storm week will reveal.

This could be memorable, even historic. Big recovery problems are a realistic scenario to be concerned about.

That is not how it works. The seasons don’t have momentum or anything comparable.

Definitely not. Possibly more arctic outbreaks though the evidence is not compelling. But winters are unambiguously warming up, largely due to ice albedo feedback.

No. There’s no consensus on whether this is a real trend and if so why. The evidence is thin.

(No I’m not a denier. I’ve been trying to call attentoon to climate disruption since around 1990.)

Of all people, you should be representing the science correctly!

Account visible to me when I check. Possibly a glitch of some sort?

Account looks alive to me.

There are niche applications in math and CS and apparently some utility in software development, but that's not what the conversation here is about. It's about learning to think and write vs learning how to *pretend* to think and write.
