I do worry about these people. In fact, I was among them from birth until I managed to escape their very real charms.
If the residents of these south Georgia towns and their outlying county folk were polled to determine their opinions regarding #anthropogenic #climate change, what do you suppose that polling would find? This is asked as a serious question, albeit a rhetorical one. You are not required to answer. Obviously.

Another important graphic on #OceanWarming from the #WMO annual report (link to full report here https://kolektiva.social/@ariadne/110305388737917179
)
The upper 2000 m of the ocean continued to warm in 2022, and it is expected that it will continue to warm in the future, causing changes that are irreversible on centennial to millennial time scales. #OHC (Ocean Heat Content) in 2022 was the highest on record, exceeding the 2021 value by 17 ± 9 ZJ. All data sets agree that #ocean warming rates were particularly high in the past two decades - the rate of ocean warming for 0–2000 m was 0.7 ± 0.1 W m–2 from 1971 to 2022, but 1.2 ± 0.2 W m–2 from 2006 to 2022. Deep ocean warming below a depth of 2 000 m is estimated to have been 0.0725 ± 0.1 W m–2 from 1992 to 2022.
Although global mean OHC has increased strongly, the rate of ocean warming has not been the same everywhere. The strongest warming in the upper 2000 m occurred in the Southern Ocean, North Atlantic and South Atlantic, where warming locally exceeded 2 W m−2. The Southern Ocean is the largest reservoir of heat, accounting for around 36% of the global OHC increase in the upper 2 000 m since 1958. This strong warming is associated with the absorption of #anthropogenic heat by the cold upwelling waters which is then exported to the northern edge of the #Antarctic Circumpolar Current by the background overturning circulation.
Some limited regions are losing heat and are cooling, including the subpolar Atlantic Ocean extending from near the surface down to >800 m depth (also the only area to show centennial cooling at the surface). The contrasting pattern of cooling (50°N–70°N) and warming (20°N–50°N) in the North Atlantic is associated with a slowing of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation #AMOC and local interactions between the air and sea.

Urban traffic noise causes song learning deficits in #birds
“#Traffic #noise leads to inaccuracies and delays in the development of song learning in young birds. They also suffer from a suppressed immune system, which is an indicator of chronic stress. A new study by researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology and colleagues shows that young zebra finches, just like children, are particularly vulnerable to the effects of noise because of its potential to interfere with learning at a critical developmental stage.”

Do you think the the #IPCC and #climate scientists' predictions of #GlobalWarming are far too conservative? Are they fearful of being too alarmist, when alarmed is precisely what we need to be? Always erring on the side of "least drama"?
"Over the past two decades, skeptics of the reality and significance of #anthropogenic climate change have frequently accused climate scientists of ‘‘alarmism’’: of over-interpreting or overreacting to evidence of human impacts on the climate system. However, the available evidence suggests that scientists have in fact been conservative in their projections of the impacts of climate change. In particular, we discuss recent studies showing that at least some of the key attributes of global warming from increased atmospheric greenhouse gases have been under-predicted, particularly in IPCC assessments of the physical science, by Working Group I. We also note the less frequent manifestation of over-prediction of key characteristics of climate in such assessments. We suggest, therefore, that scientists are biased not toward alarmism but rather the reverse: toward cautious estimates, where we define caution as erring on the side of less rather than more alarming predictions. We call this tendency ‘‘erring on the side of least drama (ESLD).’’

Rogues of the Rainforest
Tropical vines are wandering, as they always have, but recent environmental changes are giving them an edge over other rainforest plants—a shift that could have enduring impacts on climates around the globe.
by Douglas Fox, 03.22.2023
"Scientists consider tropical forests critical allies in the struggle against climate change because they have the capacity to absorb and store billions of tons of anthropogenic CO2. But rising CO2 and temperatures are already causing rainforest trees to die younger, and lianas may compound the problem. They “have this really strong negative effect,” says Schnitzer, who has joint appointments at STRI in Panama and Marquette University in Milwaukee. “They prevent trees from taking up as much carbon.” They reduce tree growth. And they can send trees crashing prematurely to the ground.
"Scientists have long thought that #anthropogenic #environmental changes trigger liana expansion: Perhaps rising levels of CO2, or atmospheric deposition of nitrogen and phosphorus have spurred the vines’ growth. But the exact mechanism has remained mysterious for 20 years."
