1971: New Ice Age Coming By 2020 or 2030
1972: New Ice Age By 2070
1974: Space Satellites Show New Ice Age Coming Fast
1974: Another Ice Age?
1974: Ozone Depletion a ‘Great Peril to Life

What does that have to do with you not reading the articles you post?

Something like seeing climate chaos around you or not is in the eye of the beholder?

Why not ask folks in Samoa if things are dandy about sea levels?

Are you sure that's not a picture of river flooding?

"River flooding, especially flash floods, are a serious and frequent problem in Samoa and in particular Apia where steep catchments with rapid flood onsets are subject to frequent heavy rainfall events."

Actually not rocket science so don't get excited.

High tides are flooding more land now because of rising sea levels. Inundation is impacting low lying islands in both the Pacific and Indian ocean.

Again please use science to debate not personal opinions...like talking to children

I'd give you a 2/10 if this were a science project Solosailor

Copying and pasting plots without captions or explanation is not science

For that matter pasting hyperbole in large font isn't science either....so deduct 20%

Your final mark is 0/10 :lol:
