That warmth helped set a new annual temperature record that was double the magnitude of the record set the year before. New NOAA-led research confirms that the event could not have happened without human-caused global warming and sea ice loss. These maps compare the observed differences from average temperature in 2016 (left) to two computer simulations of 2016 (right). The top right map shows results from models that included only natural climate influences, using estimated conditions from the late nineteenth century. The bottom right map shows results from models in which things like greenhouse gases, sea surface temperatures, and sea ice were allowed to change as they have in the real world due to human activities. None of the simulations using only natural climate influences were able to reproduce the extreme warmth that overtook the Arctic in 2016.

And still there are retards in the world who believe climate change doesnt exist. There is a heaps and heaps of scientific evidence and still they look the other way. We cant stop climate change anymore, its only a matter how much we can minimize it

There's a strong economic incentive to ignore it and sweep it under the rug.

A strong short term one

Corporations don't think in the long term.

This is why analysts being super focused on the next quarter is bad.

You'd think continuation of your ability to actually live on the planet might outweigh economic incentives just a little bit.

Yeah but they'll all be dead by then anyways so what do they care?

I've been through this sort of "corporate amorality" thing a lot in the past few days in various SH threads, but there is literally never any reason for most companies to acknowledge or take action against climate change and pollution as long as they benefit from it, which many do. The exceptions are usually in it for a PR angle, or are supplying green energy themselves.

the first thing they teach in business school is an incorrectly cited supreme court case about being responsible for maximizing profit for shareholders, even though the case determined ford can do whatever the hell he wants and his shareholders can eat it. its the culture that is ingrained in every business school out there, maximize for the short term, and its not even built on solid footing

I have a degree in maritime business administration, and while it's one anecdotal example, we got our business curriculum from the May's Business School at A&M. Business ethics and morals has been a part of teachings since Enron. Environmental care is also getting more frequent. Especially in my degree where you're deeply connected to it. All the coastal resources kids have to take classes on global warming as well. It's not completely sterile like it used to be.

But it was freezing cold the other day. How can global warming exist if it was cold? Checkmate libtards
