Mark, you claim it's a "climate emergency" ... how about you point out where the "emergency" is?

Deaths from climate-related phenomena are at an all-time low. Please point in the graph below to the start of your "emergency"--> https://twitter.com/markfischetti/status/1381618068108021763
There's been no increase in hurricane strength or frequency ... no "emergency" there. -->
Even the IPCC says there's only one chance in five ("low confidence") that global droughts are increasing. Nor have the "wet areas been getting wetter and the dry areas getting drier". No flood or drought emergency.-->
Global weather disaster losses as a percentage of assets at risk (global GDP) are decreasing, not increasing. -->
Tide gauges show no increase in the rate of sea-level rise, and the claimed acceleration in satellite-measured sea level is merely an artifact of changing satellites. -->

Yields of all major food crops continue to rise, and humans are better fed, clothed, and housed against the vagaries of climate than at any time in the past. -->
Land temperatures have already risen more than the dreaded 2°C, with no cataclysmic consequences ... so no historical "climate emergency" despite temperature increases. -->
Finally, an "emergency" is defined as "a serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situation requiring immediate action." Y'all have been warning us over and over about this for 50 years, and no significant action has been taken ... so by definition, it can't be an emergency. -->
So please tell us all, just WHERE is this "emergency" y'all keep screaming & whining about? Because like most sane people, I look at the facts. You're supposed to be a "Scientific" American, point to the FACTS showing this 50-year-long invisible emergency!

We'll wait ...
