Google Gemini boldly asserts that there has been an increase in hurricanes due to the burning of fossil fuels. There is zero evidence to support any of this propaganda.
“there is strong scientific consensus that the increasing intensity and frequency of hurricanes are linked to climate change, which is primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels.”
There has been no trend in the Arctic sea ice minimum, mean, or maximum extent since 2007, but Google Gemini boldly asserts that there has been a decline.
“Arctic sea ice extent has significantly declined since 2007.”

At the Nobel Prize ceremony on December 10, 2007, Al Gore predicted an ice-free Arctic by 2014. Since then there has been no trend in the minimum, mean or maximum extent.

In New York, under the Intermediate Scenario, sea level is expected to rise 11 inches from 2020 to 2050.”

Three years ago NOAA’s sea level scenarios were failing badly, so they moved to goalposts out twenty years and made some new baseless predictions.
Apparent sea level rise rates at Manhattan are less than 3mm/year, all of which is due to subsidence. At that rate sea level will rise 3.5 inches by 2050.

According to NOAA :
“Summer 2024 was the fourth-hottest summer on record for the U.S.
A very warm August wrapped up an extremely hot summer across the U.S., with many cities breaking all-time heat records.”
Only four of 1,218 USHCN stations set their all-time record temperature this year.
Average maximum temperatures were 44th warmest.
Average mean temperatures were 20th warmest.
The percent of stations reaching 90F was 92nd highest.
The percent of days above 90F was 66th highest.
