Everyone debates whether climate change is real. The better question is, does it matter? Climate related deaths trend downward every decade. While there are more severe weather events, there’s also been greatly increased safety awareness and human resiliency (empowered, ironically, by fossil fuel-driven economic growth).
People act like climate change is a guaranteed extinction event but I haven’t seen any evidence of that. Imo, forcing developing nations to use high-cost energy sources will do much more harm than good.
If Climate Change is really causing the End of the World, how come the number of people dying in 'climate disasters' is at an all time low?

233 of the 300 people being released by Israel as part of the hostage exchange and who are referred to as terrorists by Israel, our pols and our media, were never convicted of anything.

Interesting and I’ll have to look at this more closely. My initial (defensive) suspicion is that it is
We should pay attention to definitional frames chosen for accounting purposes - was the Syrian war a climate event, are the wars across the Sahel climate events, or the epidemic of farmer suicides (including in the US), or migration related deaths
I have found it more useful to think of an ecological rather than merely a climate crisis - this addresses the overlap and the lag between cause and effect. Or the frogs in the pot should pay attention to the water getting warmer even if it isn’t yet hot enough that many frogs are scalded and boiled to death. When you get to boiling point it is too late to do anything about it.
At what point does ingenuity and invention get overwhelmed by the scale regularity and intensity of catastrophe?
She believes that a 4-year old whose parents were murdered in front of her (and possibly raped) getting reunited with an extended family member is equivalent to a woman who stabbed a couple of Israelis getting reunited with her family (and whom will be receiving monthly payments for life from the PLA through their famous pay to slay program that we essentially fund).

A lot of the 233 were likely stone throwers. The Palestinians try to condone it as a form of passive resistance, but a number of Israelis have been injured or killed by stone throwers over the years. Some were likely rounded up in the wake of the October 7 attacks. Since they are trading on a 3 for one basis, and pretty much all of the Israelis were innocent bystanders and were subject to all kinds of trauma, sorry if I don’t feel much sympathy for Hamas.
A PALESTINIAN woman recently freed in a hostage swap was filmed calling for more violence against Israel in front of huge crowds. Roda Musa Abdelkader Abu Agamiya, 46, chanted pro-Hamas slogans and…
I believe that climate change is probably true, but Greta and the eco loons politicising it makes me wonder. If you genuinely believe in climate change and see it as a threat to the planet and that we all have to do our bit to avert disaster, why would you politicize it or publicly take sides on a polarising unrelated issue such as Gaza? It makes me suspect it is all extreme leftist nonsense and as much science based as their other beliefs, such as men can get pregnant, or that the entire world and human race was in perfect harmony and peace with equal rights for all until the white man showed up.

Or the legal systems are overburdened in both countries.
The Palestinians in custody in Israel all tried to kill people or committed acts of terrorism.
Seeing as how more than 3/4ths of them never had a trial and quite a few have never even been charged with anything and many are kids, you ought to know that's nonsense

A number of Israelis have been killed by rocks? Are you really saying that?
