Milloy is a fountain of junk science. 1387679 == " 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," It's gotten worse a bit worse, by about 4800 bombs/day. Oceans absorbed heat equivalent to seven Hiroshima nuclear explosions every second, expert says In a press release, researchers explained that for the last year the upper 2,000 meters in all oceans absorbed 14 more zettajoules, a unit of electrical energy, than in 2020. That’s equivalent to 145 times the amount of electricity generated in the world in 2020. All of the energy humans use the world over in a single year is only about half of a single zettajoule. thehill.com. -- "Gore also claimed in 2006 that there would be no solving climate change if drastic measures weren't taken around the world to reduce greenhouse gases by 2016. However, annual global carbon emissions increased from 30.59 billion tons in 2006 to 35.52 billion tons in 2016 and 37.12 billion tons in 2021, according to the Global Carbon Project." I don't know what solving it means, but we aren't gonna hold the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees, and we'll have a real hard time keeping it below 2 degrees.

BC, "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by *600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs* exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s *boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees*." Nothing like choosing apocalyptic language to convey a sense of alarm. For example, I can equate cryptocurrency to the apocalypse. All I have to do is figure out how much extra heat is being released into the atmosphere thanks to cryptocurrency, and how many hIrOsHiMa-cLaSs aToMiC bOmBs that's equivalent to. Tenchusatsu
