https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2024/oct/16/where-climate-change-poses-the-most-and-least-risk/ is it really climate change or is it more people living in flood plains and tornado alley? And specifically where the couple lives, yes the coastline is sinking for well understood reasons that have nothing to do with climate change.

"Scientists can say only that climate change’s warmer temperatures are probably intensifying hurricanes such as Ia" No they bloody aren't check out AR6.


refutation of lie
 
Yes, the official stance is that it’s an undeniable scientific fact that climate change is rapidly intensifying disasters like these. Code red for humanity and all that. That’s the message they present. Yet, behind the scene. there’s only “low confidence” in this assertion, as yoi reference. This drives their urgent push for “attribution science”—an effort to patch the substantial gaps in the research that they nonetheless assure the public is rock-solid.
