To believe that falling sperm counts is serious with no evidence that its not natural environmental change is insane.

Everything on the planet is natural. The fact that climate is changing so drastically is cause for concern either way.

Dictionary gives "natural" as 'existing in or formed by nature; not artificial: a natural bridge.'
The word is often used in the sense of other than human activity, which is one legitimate use of the term.

Humans are natural, so any byproduct of human activity is natural.

While the increase in the frequency and persistence of heat waves can easily be explained by increasing global temperatures, the observed increase in tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic, as well as having unclear reasons as claimed by the IPCC [6], seems to be a local phenomenon and substantially due to better reporting as supported by NOAA and as we will better see in the paragraph dedicated to this type of phenomena. In other areas of the planet, a decrease in the same phenomena is observed and in still others no trend is observed, essentially bringing the global evaluations to a substantial temporal invariance.
To say that maybe 1% over 100+ years is serious with no evidence that its not natural environmental change is insane. Then they ignore real issues like forever chemical (PFAS), and countless other industrial waste pollutions, plastics, plummeting sperm counts, china wont even adopt clean coal technologies.
The you have to considering the impact on the poor and middle class and the obviously power grab by the elite.
Who is they? the IPCC concerns climate change, not water pollution, chemical waste or sperm counts. That’s like complaining that the American Heart association doesn’t pay attention to brain cancer or tuberculosis.
Counting sperm is literally not the job of climate scientists

Im talking about the people that pay the climate scientists.
And, The American Heart association got canceled for speaking truth

This is only true according to one way of using the term. Another very common way of using the term is to refer to human activity as "not natural" regardless of any arguments to the contrary. Using the term in this latter sense the statement becomes simply and plainly false. Consider the phrase "All humans are equal". Two persons may argue endlessly on this if it is not seen that the word "equal" is being used in very different ways, hence the admonition to define ones terms.

You're making shit up. No one on the planet considers human activity "not natural." I'm sure we agree that procreation is an "activity." Given that, find me a single human being who believes that human procreation isn't natural. You are being intellectually dishonest to say that such a definition of natural is very common.

Not at all. If I am on a bush-walk and there is a log that has fallen across a stream, I might colloquially refer to it as a natural bridge in contrast to a bridge obviously made by humans even if it is a primitive rope bridge, in which case one would never use those terms.
Better still just look up 'natural arch Australia' on DuckDuckgo images like I just did and then tell me about the amazing amount of man-made structures you find.

So giving birth isn't natural? What about making fire? What about making tools? At what point does human activity become unnatural? Is war natural? Hunting? Growing food? Training animals?

Furthermore if that primitive bridge was made of sticks and tough grasses woven into ropes, then I might say that it is composed of natural materials, but that is never the case if nylon rope is used.

The result, claims Regent, is pretty remarkable: a quick, quiet, comfortable, 14-seat electric coastal transport capable of covering distances up to 180 miles (~300 km) at speeds up to 180 mph (300 km/h) with zero emissions – using today's commercially-available batteries. It should be cheap – half the operating cost of an aircraft, and lightning-fast, at some six times the speed of a comparable boat.

That's not what I'm thinking about , if something goes wrong at 30,000 ft the pilot has some time to make an emergency landing of some kind . There are about 12 water ditchings every year . If something goes wrong at 10 ft at that speed well ...... instant water coffin .
