It is a pity she doesn't "do" science.

So according to the "science" of the IPCC -

Floods - In summary there is low confidence in the human influence on the changes in high river flows on the global scale. Confidence is in general low in attributing changes in the probability or magnitude of flood events to human influence because of a limited number of studies and differences in the results of these studies, and large modelling uncertainties.

IPCC  AR6 WG1 11.5.4


Droughts - There is medium confidence in the ability of ESMs to simulate trends and anomalies in precipitation deficits and AED, and also medium confidence in the ability of ESMs and hydrological models to simulate trends and anomalies in soil moisture and streamflow deficits, on global and regional scales

IPCC AR6 WG1 11.6.3.6

The high-end scenarios RCP8.5 or SSP5-8.5 have recently been argued
to be implausible to unfold (e.g., Hausfather and Peters, 2020; see
Chapter 3 of the AR6 WGIII).

WG1 4.2.2

Most multi-model studies assuming rapid economic growth/business-as-usual scenarios (A2,A1B, RCP8.5) show an increase in future woody biomass and areas of woody cover towards the end of the 21st century in the temperate regions (Boit et al., 2016; Nabuurs et al., 2017) and in tropical forests in East Africa (Ross et al., 2021) but decrease in the remaining tropical regions (Anadón et al., 2014; Boit et al., 2016; Lyra et al., 2017; Nabuurs et al., 2017; Maia et al., 2020).

IPCC AR6 WG11 2.5.2.6

So that is what the "science" says. Anything that says otherwise is not following the science.

Accumulated Cyclone Energy (not mentioned by the IPCC) shows no increase in intensity or frequency of cyclones.



So which "science" do you prefer? The one for the "science" or the one the "science" that says in effect "we are doomed"?

It's a cult. A "Doctor of Theology" to a schoolgirl who became famous for NOT going to school. A Virgin Warrior, a la Jeanne d'Arc, uniting the faithful against the forces ravaging the country and laying seiges to windmills everywhere. But she has thd dar if the Gods through virtue and purity.

It is a farcical devaluation like the Nobel Peace Prize given to O'Bama for.... er.... having  Kenyan father who abandoned him and his mother and whose very nomination as the Dem candidate was, in his own modest self-estimation,  "the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal ..."

Honorary degree. Why not? She did a LOT to make people aware AGW is a real problem!

At age 16, high school dropout Thunberg was simply being used by her
parents as a public voice for their own climate advocacy... who could resist
a sweet, keen young female child sprouting climate change crapola,
complete with angry self-interest and conveniently timed crocodile tears?

And now this media darling is telling other 16-year-olds to give school a
miss, and instead turn up at street protests.  Uh... shouldn't she be telling
other kids to spend more time at school studying the effects of climate
change, and ways to reverse it?
