CO2 - a naturally occurring compound - is the lifeblood of plants! Where is the evidence that carbon dioxide is the climate control knob?
How do you account for literally EVERY single doomsday prediction of the last century being wrong? Literally every one, universally, wrong.
The globe didn’t self combust in the 1930s.
There was no ice age in the 70s.
And how do you explain that fact the planet has actually been COOLING for the past 18 years when all this CO2 continues to ramp up.
Global warning alarmism is no different to any other egocentric concept man has conceived, including religion, and there are hordes of people gouging money from the trough.
The fact we humans think there is ANYTHING we can do to trump what the almighty sun does to this planet is arrogant and misguided.
I find it an entirely depressing look at mankind and the way we think.
Richard Branson went on a submarine expedition recently and the team discovered stalactites 70 m beneath the surface of the water. SEVENTY METRES!! These can only be formed above water. The only conclusion is that water levels have risen at least 70m in however many years (probably millions). I wasn’t around in my Hyundai back then, so I’m pretty confident I didn’t contribute to that.
Watch as it all unravels over the next 20 years and, like a kid so entrenched in a lie or having discovered they were wrong, they’ll shift the goalposts.
“Yes, it’s cooling, but not by NEARLY as much as the earth used to”. Etc.
yeah right..cooling...good one. So you don't care what the IPCC say? they are all fools and the stuff you found is the truth ? Get serious.
Quotes from the internet:
One frequently sees articles claiming a certain amount of global warming or sea level rise is inevitable based on the amount of CO2 already in the atmosphere.
Locked-in warming is commonly estimated to be 1.5 degrees C (2.7° F) above preindustrial levels, about a one-half degree above the current temperature.
This is the aspirational target of the 2015 Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The maximum rise of about 2 meters (7 feet) in these scenarios is quite moderate compared to what could happen. The IPCC’s range for “multi-millennial” commitment is 3 to 13 meters (10 to 36 feet) for warming of 2 degrees C.
What is to be done.
Significant sea level rise is unavoidable. Adaptation will be necessary.
The uncertain rate of sea level rise makes planning difficult. A 2015 report by the New Zealand Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment discusses the choice of time horizons. They describe that a 50-year planning horizon may be sufficient for projects with a short intended life and a 100-year planning horizon may not be enough for those with a long life. Their recommendation is to use a timeframe “appropriate for different types of development.”What is necessary or feasible will vary by location.
Levees, tidal barriers, seawalls and elevating infrastructure may be possible. It would make sense not to allow new development in low-lying areas.
Adaptation methods are extensively discussed in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Working Group II Report.
