COVID, Ukraine.

 

Didn't know Biden caused both.

Why did a moderator feel it was necessary to corrupt the title of my post, when it is factually correct?

Because they are not 20% more destructive.  It was a troll to get people to click on the link, thinking it was about climate change, when in fact it is just another slam on Harris.  It was dishonest and misleading.

Feel free to start another thread with a more accurate title if you don't like the disclaimer.

Which means climate change is really damaging nations that have suffered both high inflation and increased frequency of disastrous weather events in recent years.

Only inflation is well above normal, weather events are within historical ranges.

as usual you don't know what you are talking about. Let's look at 2024 inflation numbers:

• Jan 3.1
• Feb 3.2
• Mar 3.5
• Apr 3.4
• May 3.3
• Jun 3.0
• Jul 2.9
• Aug 2.5

Average inflation rate from 1914 to 2914: 3.30

Since you can predict inflation rates 900 years into the future, you should be giving investment tips.

Storm rates are increasing, although this is a very weak (shallow slope) data set:

The bigger effect of warming is on storm intensity:

Let’s take a look at inflation from 2020 to 2024

You're a big fan of saying it's not a big deal if it's not the worst ever when it comes to temperature. Maybe that should hold for inflation, too.

No Wendy that is a lie. When it comes to weather events, I say they are within historical norms. The inflation the Democrats have caused, is well outside historical norms.
2021: 7%, 2022: 6.5% 2023: 3.4% (A special thanks to SkyDekker for providing the proof of what constitutes historical norms)

 It reflects poorly on you to say something that is so blatantly false.

No, you’re not about norms on temperature, it’s about events. The planting guidelines put out by the USDA have changed over the years; we can all refer to them if we want to see that the norms have changed. I doubt you’d consider that. Record lengths of heat waves do nothing, because after all there was a single day sometime that didn’t exceed. As long as each minute of each day isn’t hotter than the last you’ll deny it matters.

Therefore you have to consider 1941-1942 (over 9%) and 1946-1947 (18 and 8% respectively). There’s a one-year blip in the early 50’s, but you might remember that there was a little problem during the 1970’s, starting in 1973 (although it was elevating starting in 1968) until it began waning in the 80’s. 1990 saw another spike. Source: Investopedia  

Those are all part of history, and a two-year bout of inflation doesn’t signal a new era. You might suggest that WW2 had something to do with inflation in the 40’s, and you’d be right. But then it’d be intellectually dishonest to ignore the impact of COVID on supply chain that was a significant driver of the most recent bout.

With regard to climate change I will refer you to my post on the IPCC’s findings. As far as inflation is concerned the I agree that supply chain disruptions were a contributing factor.  As you know inflation is a result from a supply/ demand imbalance. We couldn’t really do anything about the supply side of the equation but we certainly could have mitigated the demand side by not throwing a two trillion dollar money party.

Go ahead, take a look.

Historically inflation has stayed between 23.70% and -15.80%

How does inflation between 2020 and 2024 compare to that? Is it outside those norms?

Does it make life difficult when you are always wrong? Or do you just keep telling yourself that two wrongs make a right, so it'll all be ok?

"Yeah, right!"

An example of two rights making a wrong.

You're forgetting Putin's invasion of Ukraine, spiking up energy prices, wheat prices and adding more misery to the supply chain disruption COVID caused.

Again, it worsened inflation outside the US too. Not the fault of Democrats no matter how hard you wish for it.

 

But you continue justifying voting for Trump when he's clearly Putin's lapdog and would abandon Ukraine without a second thought.

Oh, give him a few minutes for him to google Alex Jones, the Daily Stormer and OAN.  Surely he can find a quote about how Anthony Fauci started COVID, and he worked for Trump but is really a democrat, so COVID is all the democrat's fault.

You post constantly about global average temperatures that are only the third or fourth or fifth or sixth highest in recorded history, not the absolute highest ever, in threads where you deny that global warming is happening.

Apologise to Wendy for lying about her lying.
