  • No, you’re missing the point. We have conclusively “linked changes in climate to climate change” as your comment eloquently put it. That’s not really up for debate. But weather systems are extremely complex and extreme events have always occurred. So you can’t say that this one specific heatwave is caused only because of this trend.

    When it comes to the urgency of doing something about it, that doesn’t matter. It’s absolutely sufficient to say “this type of event will occur increasingly often” to establish that it is an existential crisis. You don’t have to be able to prove anything at all about this one very hot week in order to say that it is probably the single most important issue for us to tackle (along with the politics that prevent us from doing that).

    But we don’t have the science and statistics to generally link individual events to a trend in isolation, and we shouldn’t misrepresent the science that way.









  • Yeah. I’ve had a wide variation of them, some are awful like the ones you had, some are just okay. If they are shelf stable they’re usually never good, but you can get vinegar pickled ones in refrigerated jars or pouches which can sometimes be a bit nice if you’re into that. I would definitely recommend them over tinned ones. But none of them come anywhere close to the real delicacy that’s in that photo.

    Even though they’re “pickled” these don’t really keep so you don’t really see them overseas much.
