so we have had:
a hurricane hitting the coast of Brazil, first time ever.
massive floods in Queensland Australia, followed by a massive cyclone with 180+mph winds .
Snowiest winter on record in the US north east and in Europe. Meanwhile the warmest winter for 2000 years ( as far as precise measurements can be made) at the north pole.
Massive drought in Norther China, crippling their winter wheat harvest.
Massive drought in the Amazon.
Greenland ice sheets melting at rapid pace.
Himalayan ice caps melting at rapid pace.
Alps ice caps melting at rapid pace.
Bleaching of coral reefs and fish stocks crashing as oceans warm and as they become more acidic due to CO2 adsorbtion.
Rising sea levels.
Malaria and other diseases appearing in areas where they were previously unknown.
Record heat in Russia.
Crop diseases spreading to areas where they were previously unknown.
etc etc.
So...someone please explain why is this happening when the planet should be cooling as our eliptical orbit takes us further away from the sun?
just asking, as apparently whatever we humans do has no effect, according to some.
This is not about politics, this is about science and data
