I remember much hotter weather as a kid. The worst heat waves in Oz were over 100 years ago. Also as areas of bush get cleared, to build more houses, those areas increase in temp, as the plants aren't absorbing the energy, and concrete etc radiation it back out.

The Suns output, the earth's variable orbit of the sun (yes, we do not follow a fixed orbit, as it wobbles and changes due to other planets gravitational pull on earth). Also the fluctuations of our magnetosphere will have far more impact on our climate then we ever will.

yeah those orbital cycles are a classic swing - milankovitch cycles are wild, but the problem is the *rate* of change happening way faster than those cycles account for. same with solar variability - it's actually been pretty flat/declining last few cycles, yet temps keep climbing.

like... concrete jungle heat islands are real af, but satellite data shows the same warming trends in the middle of nowhere too. feels like the sun/orbit argument misses the timing - natural cycles take thousands of years, this is happening in decades.

but hey, if geothermal ever gets the love it deserves instead of these corporate green-scam projects, we all win right?
